 Exhibit 4.4 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 2012 STOCK PLAN 
 Effective April 25, 2012

 (Amended and Restated effective November 30, 2012) 
 1. Purpose 
 The Plan enables non-employee directors and professional and management
employees who contribute significantly to the success of Eaton Corporation plc (the “Company”) to participate in its future prosperity and growth and to identify their interests with those of the shareholders. The purpose of the Plan is to
provide long term incentive through outstanding service to the Company and its shareholders and to assist in recruiting and retaining people of outstanding ability and initiative in non-employee director, professional and management positions. The
Plan, initially adopted by Eaton Corporation as its 2012 Stock Plan (the “Eaton Plan”), was amended and restated in its current form in connection with the transaction entered into by Cooper Industries plc, Eaton Corporation, Eaton
Corporation Limited, Abeiron II Limited, Turlock B.V., Eaton Inc. and Turlock Corporation, pursuant to which Eaton Corporation became a subsidiary of the Company, a company incorporated in Ireland, and the Eaton Plan, together with all awards
granted thereunder, was assumed by the Company with effect from November 30, 2012. 
 2. Administration 

(A) Employee Awards 
 With respect
to employee awards, the Plan shall be administered by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). 
 (B) Non-Employee Director Awards 
 With respect to non-employee director awards, the
Plan shall be administered by the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the Governance Committee”). 
 (C) Authority of
Committees 
 With respect only to those awards for which it has administrative responsibility, the Committee and the Governance Committee
shall each have complete authority (except as otherwise provided herein) to interpret all provisions of the Plan and any award consistent with law, to determine the type and terms of awards consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to prescribe
the form of instruments evidencing awards, to adopt, amend and rescind general and special rules and regulations for its administration, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for its administration of the Plan. The
determinations of the each committee shall be final and conclusive. Each committee may act by resolution or in any other manner permitted by law. 
 The Committee may delegate its authority to one or more officers of the Company (a “Delegate”) with respect to the granting of awards to employees who are not officers or directors of the
Company who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Section “16b”). 
 3. Shares
Available 
 The aggregate of (a) the number of Company ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (“shares”) delivered by
the Company in payment and upon exercise of awards to employees and non-employee directors (plus any Eaton Corporation common stock that was issued in settlement of outstanding awards under the Eaton Plan prior to its assumption by the Company) and
(b) the number of shares subject to outstanding awards to employees and non-employee directors shall not exceed 21 million at any one time, plus any shares that were subject to outstanding awards under Eaton Corporation’s 2009 Stock

 
Plan (the “Prior Plan”) as of the Effective Date that are subsequently canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under a Prior Plan award or settled in cash, subject to
adjustments as authorized herein. The shares available for awards under the Plan will be reduced by (i) one share for each share subject to an award of options or stock appreciation rights and (ii) 2.36 shares for each share subject to an
award of restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance share units or other share based awards denominated in shares. To the extent that any award under the Plan or Prior Plan is forfeited, or any option or stock
appreciation right terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, the shares subject to such awards not delivered as a result thereof shall again be available for awards under the Plan. Shares tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price
of a stock option or to pay tax withholding of a stock option or stock appreciation right will count against the foregoing limitations and will not be added back to the shares available under the Plan. When a stock appreciation right that may be
settled for shares is exercised, the number of shares subject to the grant agreement shall be counted against the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan as one (1) share for every share subject thereto, regardless of the number
of shares used to settle the stock appreciation right upon exercise. Any shares that again become available for grant pursuant to this paragraph (including shares that were subject to Prior Plan awards) shall be added back as one (1) share if
such shares were subject to stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan, and as 2.36 shares if such shares were subject to awards of restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance
share units or other share-based awards denominated in shares granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan. Shares available for awards may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. 

The maximum aggregate number of shares or share units underlying options or related to other awards that may be granted to any employee during any three
consecutive calendar year period is 1,200,000. In addition, no more than 5% of the total number of shares authorized for delivery under the Plan may be granted as performance shares, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights or other share-based
awards (other than stock options) which vest within less than one year after the date of grant. With respect to such awards in excess of 5% of the total number of such authorized number of shares, the vesting period must exceed one year, with no
more than one third of shares becoming vested at the end of each of the twelve-month periods following the date of grant; provided, however, the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply (i) to awards of stock options and stock
appreciation rights, (ii) to awards granted to non-employee directors, (iii) in the event of a change in control of the Company or divestment of a business, or (iv) an employee’s death, disability or retirement. 

Awards may be made under the Plan at any time after approval of the Plan by shareholders at the 2012 annual meeting until the termination of the Plan in
accordance with the terms hereof. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement, contract, or other instrument or document, including an electronic communication, as may from time to time be designated by the Company (an
“Award Agreement”). 
 4. Eligibility for Awards 
 Any salaried employee (including officers) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries occupying a professional or management position may be granted an award. The Committee (or a Delegate) (a) will
designate employees to whom grants are to be made, (b) will specify the number of options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance share units, restricted shares, restricted share units or other share-based awards subject to
each grant, and (c) subject to Section 5(C), will specify the price of the award, if applicable. Non-employee directors are eligible to receive restricted shares as provided under Section 6. 

5. Stock Options 

 (A) Grants. 
 The Committee may grant to eligible employees (i) options which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”) under the Internal Revenue Code, or
(ii) options which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Each option will give the employee the right to purchase a designated number of shares. The aggregate fair market value (at the time of grant) of shares for Incentive
Stock Options under all plans of the Company which become initially exercisable by an employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other amount as may be provided by the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations thereunder).

 (B) Exercise. 
 Each option
shall be exercisable on such date or dates, during such period and for such number of shares, as shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, grants to employees
subject to 16b shall not be exercisable for at least six months after those options are granted. Option awards that become exercisable based on continued employment with the Company shall become exercisable over a minimum period of three years from
the date of the grant, with the award vesting in its entirety at the end of such three-year period or ratably over such period. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate or extend (but not beyond the ten-year term of the option) the
times when an option may be exercised and the Management Compensation Committee (comprised of Company officers) may do likewise for employees who are not subject to Section 16b of the Exchange Act. 

(C) Price. 
 Each Award Agreement
for stock options shall state the number of shares to which it pertains and the option price. The option price shall be the fair market value of the shares subject to the option on the date of grant. The fair market value of a share shall be the
closing price of a share as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, unless the Committee specifies the use of a different method to determine the fair market value. In no event may any option granted under the Plan be amended, other than pursuant to
Section 11, to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in conjunction with a cash payment or the grant of any new award or any new option with a lower exercise price, or otherwise be subject to any action that would be treated, for
accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such option, unless such amendment, cancellation or action is approved by the Company’s shareholders. 
 (D) Payment. 
 The Committee shall establish in the applicable Award Agreement the
time or times when an option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, shares or other awards, or any combination thereof, having a fair market value on the
exercise date equal to the exercise price in which payment of the exercise price may be made. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods of tendering shares or other consideration. 
 (E) Performance Objectives. 
 The Committee may establish performance objectives for
determining the exercisability of options as it deems appropriate, which may be measured on a corporate, subsidiary, business unit or individual basis or a combination thereof. If performance objectives are established, the performance period will
be a minimum of one year and may overlap other performance periods. 
 6. Non-employee Director Restricted Shares 

Subject to approval of the Plan by shareholders at the 2012 annual meeting, each person who on the grant date (as defined below in this Section 6) is
serving as a non-employee director automatically shall be granted a number of restricted shares equal to the quotient resulting from dividing (i) the annual retainer in effect on the grant date, by (ii) the closing price of a share on the
New York Stock 

 Exchange on the Monday immediately prior to the grant date or if that date is not a trading day on the New
York Stock Exchange, the trading day immediately preceding that Monday. The grant date is the fourth Wednesday of each January, beginning with January of 2013. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no non-employee director shall receive
any award under the Plan for a particular year if that director receives such a grant under any other stock plan of the Company. Restricted shares are actual shares issued to the non-employee directors which are subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Award Agreement as approved by the Governance Committee. 
 7. Employee Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and Other
Share-based Awards 
 (A) Share-Based Awards. 
 The Committee may grant other share-based awards to any eligible employee for no cash consideration, if permitted by applicable law, or for such consideration as may be determined by the Committee and
specified in the grant. Such grants may include restricted shares or restricted share units. The Committee may specify such criteria or periods for payment as it shall determine and the extent to which such criteria or periods have been met shall be
conclusively determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Other share-based grants may be paid in shares or other consideration related to shares, as specified by the grant, and shall have such terms and conditions as shall be
determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Share based awards shall vest over a minimum period of three years from the date of the grant, with the award vesting in its entirety at the end of such three-year period or ratably
over such period; provided, however, the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply in the event of a change in control of the Company, divestment of a business or an employee’s death, disability or retirement. 

B) Performance Objectives. 
 The
Committee may establish performance objectives for determining the vesting of share-based awards as it deems appropriate, which may be measured on a corporate, subsidiary, business unit or individual basis or a combination thereof. If performance
objectives are established, the performance period will be a minimum of one year and may overlap other performance periods. 
 8. Performance
Awards 
 (A) Grants. 

The Committee may grant performance shares or performance share units to any eligible employee for no cash consideration, if permitted by applicable law,
or for such consideration as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the grant. The Committee shall establish award periods and shall establish in writing within the first 90 days of each award period the number of performance shares or
units to be earned and the Company performance objectives (as defined below) to be met. A performance share unit is equal in value to one share and subject to vesting on the basis of the achievement of specified performance objectives. Upon vesting,
performance share units will be settled by delivery of shares to the holder of the units equal to the number of vested performance share units, less a sufficient number of shares to satisfy tax withholding requirements. 

No grantee may receive a long-term incentive award in any performance period of more than 400,000 share equivalent units, subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 11. 
 The Award Agreement shall specify if the grantee shall be entitled to receive current or deferred payments of cash in
respect of vested performance units corresponding to the dividends payable on shares. 

 (B) Performance Objectives. 
 (1) The performance objectives for performance share or performance share unit grants shall be set forth in the related Award Agreement and shall consist of objective tests based on one or more of the
following: the Company’s earnings, cash flow, cash flow return on gross capital, revenues, financial return ratios, market performance, shareholder return and/or value, operating profits, net profits, earnings per share, operating earnings per
share, profit returns and margins, share price, working capital, and changes between years or periods, or returns over years or periods that are determined with respect to any of the above-listed performance criteria. 

(2) The performance period may extend over one to five calendar years, and may overlap one another, although no two performance periods may consist
solely of the same calendar years. Performance Objectives may be measured solely on a corporate, subsidiary or business unit basis, or a combination thereof. Further, Performance Objectives may reflect absolute entity performance or a relative
comparison of entity performance to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected Performance Objectives. 
 (3) When the Performance Objectives for an award period are established, the formula for any such award may include or exclude items to measure specific objectives, such as losses from discontinued
operations, extraordinary gains or losses, the cumulative effect of accounting changes, acquisitions or divestitures, foreign exchange impacts and any unusual, nonrecurring gain or loss, and will be based on accounting rules and related Company
accounting policies and practices in effect on the date of the 
 award. 
 (4) After performance shares or units have been granted and performance objectives have been established, the initial performance share or unit target award may be increased or decreased based only upon
the performance level achieved within a performance period. 
 9. Other Awards 
 In limited circumstances where the Committee determines that the use of stock options or restricted shares or restricted share units is inadvisable for tax or other regulatory reasons, it may grant stock
appreciation rights or other types of awards to eligible employees. Stock appreciation rights entitle the holder, upon exercise, to receive a number of shares or cash, as the Committee may determine, equal to the increase in fair market value of a
number of shares designated by such rights from the date of grant to the date of exercise. The number of shares subject to a stock appreciation right shall be counted against the individual limit on the maximum number of shares that may be awarded
to any employee during any three consecutive calendar year periods, and against the maximum number of shares which may be delivered under the Plan. The exercise price per share of a stock appreciation right shall not be less than the fair market
value of a share on the grant date and the term of a stock appreciation right may be no longer than ten years. The fair market value of a share shall be the closing price of a share as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, unless the Committee
specifies the use of a different method to determine fair market value. In no event may any stock appreciation right granted under the Plan be amended, other than pursuant to Section 11, to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in
conjunction with a cash payment or the grant of any new award or any new stock appreciation right with a lower exercise price, or otherwise be subject to any action that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such
stock appreciation right, unless such amendment, cancellation or action is approved by the Company’s shareholders. Stock appreciation rights and other types of awards covered in this Section 9 that become exercisable based on continued
employment shall vest over a minimum period of three years from the date of the grant, with the award vesting in its entirety at the end of such three-year period or ratably over such period. 

 10. Transfers 
 Except as otherwise provided by the appropriate committee, awards under the Plan are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. A transferred award may be exercised by
the transferee only to the extent that the grantee would have been entitled to exercise the award had the award not been transferred. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the transfer of Incentive Stock Options shall be limited as required by the Internal Revenue Code and
applicable regulations. 
 11. Adjustments 
 In the event of any alteration to the capital structure of the company, whether by way of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares,
stock split, stock dividend, rights offering or similar event affecting shares of the Company, the following shall be equitably adjusted: (a) the number and class of shares (i) reserved under the Plan, (ii) for which awards may be
granted to an individual, and (iii) covered by outstanding awards denominated in shares or share units; (b) the prices relating to outstanding awards; and (c) the appropriate fair market value and other price determinations for such
awards; provided, that in no event shall the per share exercise price of an option or subscription price of an award be reduced to an amount that is lower than the nominal value of a share. 
 12. Qualified Performance-Based Awards 
 (A) The provisions of the Plan are intended to
ensure that all options, performance shares and performance share units granted hereunder to any individual who is or may be a “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) qualify for the
Section 162(m) exception (the “Section 162(m) Exception”) for performance-based compensation (a “Qualified Performance-Based Award”), and all of the awards specified in this Section 12(A) and the Plan shall be
interpreted and operated consistent with that intention. 
 (B) Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an option or stock
appreciation right) shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the achievement of one or more Performance Objectives, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may
determine to be appropriate. Qualified Performance-Based Awards may not be amended, nor may the Committee exercise discretionary authority in any manner that would cause the Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the
Section 162(m) Exception. Awards shall be contingent on continued employment by the Company during each performance period; provided, however, that this requirement will not apply in the event of termination of employment by reason of death or
disability (as determined by the Committee). In the event of termination of employment of a participant for these reasons during any incomplete performance periods, awards for such performance periods shall be prorated for the amount of service by
the participant during the performance period. The prorated awards shall be payable to the participant (or to his or her estate) at the same time as awards for such performance periods are paid to the other participants and shall be subject to the
same requirements for attainment of the specified Performance Objectives as apply to such other participants’ awards. 
 (C) The Committee
shall certify in writing as to the measurement of performance by the Company and the business units relative to Performance Objectives and the resulting earned performance awards. The Committee shall rely on such financial information and other
materials as it deems necessary and appropriate to enable it to certify to the percentage of achievement of Performance Objectives. The Committee shall make its determination not later than March 15 following the end of the performance
measurement period. 

 13. General Provisions 
 (A) Awards granted under the Plan are subject to the Company’s policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, that provides that, if the Board determines that an executive engaged in any fraud,
misconduct or other bad-faith action that, directly or indirectly, caused or partially caused the need for a material accounting restatement for any period as to which a performance-based award was paid or credited to the executive, the performance
based award is subject to reduction, cancellation or 
 reimbursement at the discretion of the Board. 

(B) With respect to awards granted pursuant to Sections 5, 7 and 9 above, the Committee is prohibited from waiving any vesting or restriction periods
applicable to awards except in the case of death, disability, retirement, change in control or divestment of a business. 
 (C) The Company
shall have the right to deduct from any cash payment made under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to deliver shares that the participant pay the Company such amount as it may
request for the purpose of satisfying any such tax liability. Any award under the Plan may provide that the participant may elect, in accordance with any Committee regulations, to pay the amount of such withholding taxes in shares. 

(D) No person, estate or other entity shall have any of the rights of a shareholder with reference to shares subject to an award until a certificate or
certificates for the shares have been delivered to that person, estate or other entity. The Plan shall not confer upon any non-employee director or employee any right to continue in that capacity. 

(E) The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, to the extent not governed by the laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the laws of Ohio. 
 14. Amendment and Termination 
 The Board of Directors of the Company may alter, amend or terminate the Plan from time to time, except that the Plan may not be materially amended without shareholder approval if shareholder approval is
required by law, regulation or an applicable stock exchange rule. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Plan may not be amended without shareholder approval to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Plan,
(ii) increase the maximum number of shares which may be granted to any employee, or (iii) grant options or stock appreciation rights at a purchase price below fair market value on the date of grant. 

15. Effective and Termination Dates 
 The
Plan became effective when it was approved by shareholders at the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Effective Date”). As of the Effective Date, no new awards have or shall be granted to any employee or non-employee Director under
any other previously approved Company stock plan. 
 No awards shall be granted under the Plan after the date that is ten years after the
Effective Date. Awards granted before that date shall remain valid thereafter in accordance with their terms. 
 16. Compliance

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (a) the Company shall not be obliged to issue any shares pursuant to an award
unless at least the par value or nominal value of such newly issued share has been fully paid in advance in accordance with applicable law (which requirement may mean the 

 
holder of an award is obliged to make such payment) and (b) the Company shall not be obliged to issue or deliver any shares in satisfaction of awards until all legal and regulatory
requirements associated with such issue or delivery have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee.
