II.       ADMINISTRATION 

1.Any capitalized terms used in these Regulations that are not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plans.  In the event the meaning of any defined term used in these Regulations is not clear, the Chief Human Resources Officer (“CHRO”) will determine the meaning of the term in his or her sole discretion.

2.The Company’s Stock Plan Administration group shall be the Plan Administrator for the Plans and is authorized to develop procedures necessary to administer Awards and to engage brokers or other consultants that may be advisable for the administration of the Plans.  

3.The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is authorized to submit recommendations to the Committee for Awards, except for himself.

4.The CHRO and the Chief Legal Officer and Secretary (“CLO”) are each individually authorized to execute Award Agreements consistent with the 2019 Plan, these Regulations, approved executive compensation programs (e.g., the Performance Stock Program), and/or Committee action through resolution.

5.The CHRO is authorized to specify an appropriate time and manner for acceptance of each Award.  Any Award not accepted through the specified means within the period specified by the Committee or the CHRO at the time of the grant shall be considered to be canceled.

6.The CLO shall maintain the books and records of Awards granted by the Committee and shall report at each meeting of the Committee at which Awards are to be considered the total number of shares available for Awards under the 2019 Plan.  The CLO shall inform the Treasurer and the Plan Administrator of Awards granted on a regular basis. 

7.The Treasurer is authorized to delegate to an appropriate manager reporting to the Treasurer the authority to acquire, transfer and deliver shares for the purposes of the Plans.

8.If the CLO is unavailable, an Assistant Secretary is hereby authorized to perform the duties and have the powers of the CLO outlined in these Regulations.  If the Treasurer is unavailable, an Assistant Treasurer is hereby authorized to perform the duties and have the powers of the Treasurer outlined in these Regulations.  

III.      SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, WITHHOLDING, AND REPAYMENT OF AWARDS 

1.The CHRO and the CLO are each hereby individually authorized to temporarily withhold payment of an unpaid Award or suspend on a conditional or temporary basis the outstanding Awards of any Participant if the CHRO or CLO believes that such Participant has engaged in action that violates the terms and conditions governing the Award, including, but not limited to, any violation of Article 6 of the Plans.  If the Participant is a Principal Officer of the Company, the CEO must concur with the decision.  

2.In order to permanently terminate, withhold payment, demand repayment of, or otherwise restrict or recoup an Award, within a reasonable time of any such conditional or temporary suspension or withholding of payment, the CHRO and CLO must each concur that the Participant has engaged in action that violates the terms and conditions governing the Award, including, but not limited to, any violation of Article 6 of the Plans.  If the Participant is a Principal Officer of the Company, the CEO must concur with the decision.  If the applicable parties concur, the proposed action shall be immediately implemented, except in the case of a Section 16 Officer as described below.  If they do not concur, the temporary suspension or withholding of payment shall be lifted.

3.All alleged violations of the terms and conditions governing an Award held by any Section 16 Officer shall be reviewed by the Committee following the concurrence by the CHRO, CLO and, if applicable, the CEO described in Section III.2 above.  If the Committee determines a violation has occurred, the Committee may terminate the Participant’s outstanding Awards, withhold payment of an Award, demand repayment of an Award, or otherwise restrict or recoup an Award. 

4.Actions that significantly contravene the Company’s “Statement of Purpose, Values and Principles” will be considered to be actions “significantly contrary to the best interests of the Company” and a violation of Article 6.1(d) of the Plans.  This standard also includes any action taken or threatened by the Participant that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of the Company or any subsidiary.

IV.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS

1.The Committee establishes the terms and conditions of Awards by its approval of the program summaries for each compensation program or by approving individual awards.   The Award Agreements will include the Grant Date, Vest Date, Expiration Date (for Stock Options and SARs), and Settlement Date (for RSUs) determined by the Committee.

2.A Participant’s beneficiary under an Award is the Participant’s estate.  However, to the extent permitted by the CHRO with respect to Awards under the Plans, and in accordance with rules and procedures established by the CHRO, each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit payable upon death under the terms of the Plans or an Award. In the absence of such designation, the Participant’s beneficiary will be the Participant’s estate.

V.      EXERCISE OR SETTLEMENT OF AWARDS

1.Pursuant to Article 6.1 of the Plans, if upon the delivery of notice to exercise, the Participant refuses to certify intent to either remain in the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for at least one (1) year or otherwise comply with the non-compete provisions of Article 6, a Principal Officer or an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who has the title of Vice President shall be informed of the Participant’s refusal.

2.Notice of exercise of a Stock Option or SAR shall be given prior to the expiration of the Award and shall be given in the form and manner established by the Plan Administrator.

3.The Plan Administrator is authorized from time to time to suspend the exercise of any Stock Option or SAR, the delivery of any Shares or the settlement of any RSUs, where such suspension is deemed necessary or appropriate for corporate purposes.  No such suspension shall extend the life of the Stock Option or SAR right beyond its expiration date, and in no event will there be a suspension in the five (5) calendar days immediately preceding the expiration date.

4.The Treasurer or CHRO with Treasurer concurrence, is hereby authorized to establish such terms and conditions regarding exercise or delivery of any Award as is required or advisable to accommodate for differences in local law, tax policy or custom, including but not limited to, requiring that Participants:  (i) hold shares acquired upon exercise of any Stock Option for a specified period of time; (ii) hold shares acquired upon exercise of any Stock Option outside of the Participant’s jurisdiction of residence; or (iii) immediately repatriate proceeds from the sale of shares or dividends on shares to their local jurisdiction. 

5.In the event that the New York Stock Exchange is closed for business on the day upon which shares of the Company's Common Stock are to be valued, the Plan Administrator shall value such shares on the immediately following business day of such Exchange on which day such stock is traded.

6.Awards may be surrendered for cancellation before exercise or settlement in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator.  Acceptance of such surrender for cancellation before exercise or settlement shall not constitute waiver of the Participant’s obligations under Article 6 of the Plans.

VI.      AWARDS GRANTED TO PARTICIPANTS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

1.Where local law would prohibit enforcement of provisions 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 of the Plans, the Committee authorizes the CHRO to waive any or all of those provisions in the Award Agreement.

2.Provided Participants located in Belgium pay tax on a Key Manager Stock Option Award at grant, the CHRO is authorized to treat up to thirty-four percent (34%) of Award as non-forfeitable on the Grant Date. 

3.The CHRO may adjust Award Agreements issued to Participants located in the United Kingdom to shift the employer tax obligations to Participants, if appropriate. 

4.The CHRO may adjust other Award Agreements as necessary to comply with the terms set out in foreign sub-plans adopted by the Committee.

VIII.    MISCELLANEOUS

1.Determination by the Committee as to the interpretation of the terms and provisions of the Plans shall be conclusive on all interested parties. 

2.In the case of a triggering event under Article 4 of the 2019 Plan the appropriate number of such new or additional or different shares or securities will be issued by the Treasurer with the applicable restrictive legend to Participants holding restricted shares, in accordance with each Award Agreement.

2019 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

FRANCE ADDENDUM

Article A.        Introduction

The Board of Directors of The Procter & Gamble Company (the “Company”) has established a 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “U.S. Plan”) for the benefit of certain employees of the Company and its subsidiary companies, including its French subsidiaries, (the “Subsidiary”) of which the Company holds directly or indirectly at least 10% of the share capital.  Article 3 of the U.S. Plan specifically authorizes the Compensation Committee (or other committee) (the “Committee”) designated by the Board of Directors (the “ Board”) to adopt procedures and forms relating to the U.S. Plan as it deems advisable with respect to foreign participants. The Board, therefore, intends to establish a sub-plan for France of the U.S. Plan for the purpose of granting Options which may qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment in France applicable to Options granted under Sections L. 225-177 to L. 225-186-1 of the French Commercial Code as amended to qualifying employees under the U.S. Plan who are resident in France for French tax purposes (the “Optionees”).  The terms of the U.S. Plan, as subsequently amended and as set out in Appendix 1 hereto, shall, subject to the modifications in the following rules, constitute the Rules of the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan for Employees in France (the “French Plan”). 

Under the French Plan, the Optionees will be granted only Options as defined under Article B hereunder. In no case will grants under the French Plan include any other substitute awards, e.g., stock appreciation rights and restricted stock.

Article B.         Definitions

Capitalized terms used but not defined in the French Plan shall have the same meanings as set forth in the U.S. Plan.

In addition, the term “Option” shall have the following meaning:

A.         Purchase Options, that are rights to acquire Common Stock repurchased by the Company prior to the vesting of said Options; or

B.         Subscription Options, that are rights to subscribe newly issued Common Stock.

The term “Closed Period” means specific periods as set forth by section L. 225-177 of the French Commercial Code as amended during which French qualifying Options cannot be granted.

Notwithstanding any provisions in the U.S. Plan, the term “Grant Date” shall be the date on which the Board or the Committee both (a) designates the Optionee and (b) specifies the terms and conditions of the Option including the number of shares and the method of determining the Option Price.

The term “Effective Grant Date” shall be the date on which the Option is effectively granted, i.e., the date on which the condition precedent of the expiration of a Closed Period applicable to the Option, if any, is satisfied.  Such condition precedent shall be satisfied when the Board, Committee or other authorized body shall determine that the granting of Options is no longer prevented under a Closed Period. If the Grant Date does not occur within a Closed Period, the "Effective Grant Date" shall be the same day as the “Grant Date”. 

The term “Vesting Date” shall mean the date on which an Optionee's right to all or a portion of an Option granted under the French Plan becomes non-forfeitable. 

The term “Disability” is defined in accordance with categories 2 and 3 under Section 
L. 341-4 of the French Social Security Code, as amended, and subject to the fulfillment of related conditions.

The term “Forced Retirement” shall mean forced retirement as determined under Section L. 1237-5 of the French Labor Code, as amended, and subject to the fulfillment of related conditions.

Article C.         Entitlement to Participate

Any individual who at the Effective Grant Date of the Option under the French Plan is either employed under the terms and conditions of an employment contract (“contrat de travail”) with the Subsidiary or is a corporate officer of the Subsidiary, shall be eligible to receive Options under the French Plan provided that he or she also satisfies the eligibility conditions of the U.S. Plan.  Options may not be issued under the French Plan to employees or officers owning more than ten percent (10%) of the Company's share capital or to individuals other than employees and corporate officers of the Subsidiary. Options may not be issued to directors of the Subsidiary, other than managing directors (Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de sociétés par actions), unless the director is an employee of the Subsidiary as defined by French law.

Article D.        Conditions of the Option

To ensure the qualified status of Options under the French Plan, the terms and conditions of any Options granted under the French Plan shall not be modified after the Effective Grant Date, unless otherwise authorized by French law.

Notwithstanding any provision in the U.S. Plan to the contrary and since Common Stock of the Company is traded on a regulated securities market, no Option may be granted to eligible Optionees in France during specific Closed Periods as set forth by section L. 225-177 of the French Commercial Code as amended to the extent such Closed Periods are applicable to the Options.

1.         Vesting and Exercisability of Options and Holding of Common Stock
The Options will vest and be exercisable pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the U.S Plan and the French Plan and any stock option agreement or notice. As such, no Option can be exercised before the Vesting Date. However, in the case of death of an Optionee, outstanding Options shall be immediately vested and exercisable under the conditions set forth in Article F of the French Plan.

The vesting of Options may be accelerated in accordance with the Change in Control provisions of the U.S. Plan as noted in Article H below. 

Specific provisions apply in the event of termination of employment/service and death as provided in Article F below. 

2.         Option Price

The method of determining the option price payable pursuant to Options issued hereunder shall be fixed by the Committee on the date the Option is granted (“Option Price”). If Options are considered granted on the Effective Grant Date, the Option price will be determined in accordance with the method set forth by the Committee on the Grant Date. In no event shall the Option Price per share be less than the greater of:

a.         with respect to Purchase Options over Common Stock, the higher of either 80% of the average opening price of such Common Stock during the 20 days of quotation immediately preceding the Effective Grant Date or 80% of the average purchase price paid for such Common Stock by the Company;

b.         with respect to Subscription Options over the Common Stock, 80% of the average opening price of such Common Stock during the 20 days of quotation immediately preceding the Effective Grant Date; and

c.         the minimum Option Price permitted under the U.S. Plan.

3.          Payment of the Option Price

Notwithstanding any provisions in the U.S. Plan to the contrary, upon exercise of an Option, the full Option Price will be paid either in cash, by check or by credit transfer, exclusive of any other method of payment.  Under a cashless exercise program, the Optionee may give irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to properly deliver the Option Price to the Company.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the U.S. Plan to the contrary, no delivery of previously owned shares having a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate Option Price of the shares may be used as consideration for exercising the Options.

Furthermore, notwithstanding any provisions in the U.S. Plan to the contrary, shares owed to the Optionee upon exercise may not be withheld in order to meet the tax and/or social security contributions which might be due at the time of exercise or sale of the underlying shares. However, upon sale of the underlying shares, the Company and/or the Subsidiary shall have the right to withhold, or request any third party to withhold, from the proceeds to be paid to the Optionee the sums corresponding to any social security contributions due at exercise or sale by the Optionee. If such amounts are due and are not withheld, the Optionee agrees to submit the amount due to the Subsidiary by means of check, cash or credit transfer.

The shares acquired upon exercise of an Option will be recorded in an account in the name of the shareholder with a broker or in such other manner as the Company may otherwise determine in order to ensure compliance with applicable law.

4.         Mandatory Holding Period

To the extent applicable to French-qualified Options granted by the Company, a specific holding period for the Common Stock or a restriction on the exercise of Options may be specified for Optionees in France who serve as managing directors under French law (“mandataires sociaux”).  French law defines the following positions as mandataires sociaux: Président du Conseil d'Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, Gérant de Sociétés par actions.

Article E.         Non-transferability of Options

Notwithstanding any provision in the U.S. Plan to the contrary and except in the case of death, Options cannot be transferred to any third party. In addition, the Options are only exercisable by the Optionee during the lifetime of the Optionee.

Article F.         Termination of Employment/Service

1.         Death

In the event of the death of an Optionee, any outstanding Options on date of death shall become immediately vested and exercisable. The Optionee’s heirs may exercise the Option within six months following the death, but any Option which remains unexercised shall expire six months following the date of the Optionee’s death.

2.         Forced Retirement or Dismissal

In the event of the Forced Retirement (as defined in Article B) or dismissal of a Optionee, as defined by Section 91-ter of Exhibit II to the French Tax Code as construed by the French tax and social security circulars and subject to the fulfilment of related conditions, his or her Option will benefit from the favorable treatment of French qualified Options upon sale of his or her shares of Common Stock, but only if the Option was exercised at least three (3) months prior to the effective date of the retirement or the delivery of the relevant dismissal notice to the Optionee, as defined by French law and as construed by competent French courts.

3.         Other Reasons

In the event of a termination of employment for reasons other than death, the Option shall be exercisable as set forth in the stock option Award Agreement entered into with the Optionee.

Article G.        Changes In Capitalization

            To ensure the qualified status of Options under the French Plan, adjustments to the Option Price and/or the number of shares subject to an Option issued hereunder shall be made to preclude the dilution or enlargement of benefits under the Option only in the event of a transaction involving the Company listed under Section L. 225-181 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, a repurchase of Common Stock by the Company at a price higher than the stock quotation price on the open market, and according to the provisions of Section L. 228-99 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, as well as according to specific decrees.. Furthermore, even upon occurrence of a transaction involving the Company listed under Section L. 225-181 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, a repurchase of Common Stock by the Company at a price higher than the stock quotation price on the open market, and according to the provisions of Section L. 228-99 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, as well as according to specific decrees, no adjustment to the kind of shares to be granted shall be made (i.e., only shares of Common Stock shall be granted to Optionees) to preserve the qualified status of the Option.  In the event of an adjustment to the Option Price and/or the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option issued hereunder, other than as described in this Article G, the Options may not qualify for favorable income tax and social security treatment under French law.

Article H.        Change in Control

In the event that a significant decrease in the value of Options granted to the Optionee occurs or is likely to occur as a result of a Change of Control of the Company or a liquidation, reorganization, merger, consolidation or amalgamation with another company in which the Company is not the surviving company, the Committee may, accordingly to the provisions of the U.S. Plan, in its discretion, authorize immediate vesting and exercise of Options before the date on which any Change of Control, liquidation, reorganization, merger, consolidation or amalgamation becomes effective.  If this occurs, the Options may not qualify for favorable income tax and social security treatment under French law.

Article I.          Disqualification of French-Qualified Options

If the Options are otherwise modified or adjusted in a manner in keeping with the terms of the U.S. Plan or as mandated as a matter of law and the modification or adjustment is contrary to the terms and 

conditions of this French Plan, the Options may no longer qualify as French-qualified options.  The Company does not undertake nor is it required to maintain the French-qualified status of the Options, and the Optionees understand, acknowledge and agree that it will be their responsibility to bear any additional income taxes and/or social security contributions that may be payable as a result of the disqualification of the French-qualified Options.  

If the Options no longer qualify as French-qualified options, the Committee may, provided it is authorized to do so under the U.S. Plan, lift, shorten or terminate certain restrictions applicable to the vesting of the Options, the exercisability of the Options, or the sale of the shares of Common Stock which may have been imposed under this French Plan or in the stock option agreement delivered to the Optionees.

Article J.         Term of the Option

            The term of the Option will be no greater than ten years after the Grant Date.  The specific term will be specified in the applicable stock option agreement.  This term can be extended only in the event of the death of the Optionee.

Article K.        No Surrender of Options

            Notwithstanding the provisions of the U.S. Plan, Optionees may not surrender Options in lieu of exercise for cash.

Article L.         No Conversion 

Notwithstanding the provisions of the U.S. Plan, Optionees may not convert cash compensation into Options.

Article M.       Interpretation

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the present French Plan and the U.S. Plan, the provisions of the French Plan shall control for any grants made thereunder to Optionees.

It is intended that Options granted under the French Plan shall qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment applicable to stock options granted under Sections L. 225-177 to L. 225-186-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws and the French tax and social security administrations, but there are no undertakings to maintain this status.  The terms of the French Plan shall be interpreted accordingly and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws, the French tax and social security administrations, any relevant Guidelines published by French tax and social security administrations and are subject to the fulfillment of legal, tax and reporting obligations, if any.

Article N.        Employment Rights

The adoption of this French Plan shall not confer upon the Optionees any employment rights and shall not be construed as a part of the Optionee’s employment contracts.  Articles 6.1(a), 6.1(b) and 6.1(c) of the U.S. Plan do not apply to Optionees in France.

Article O.        Amendments

Subject to the terms of the U.S. Plan, the Committee reserves the right to amend or terminate the French Plan at any time.  Such amendments would only apply to future grants and would not be retroactive.  

Article P.         Adoption

An Option shall be granted under and subject to the rules of the Plan as modified by this Sub-Plan.

10        Identification of Options

An Award Agreement issued in respect of an Option shall expressly state that it is issued in respect of an Option. An option which is not so identified shall not constitute an Option.

11        Contents of Award Agreement

11.1     An Award Agreement issued in respect of an Option shall state:

•that it is issued in respect of an Option;    

•the date of grant of the Option;

12        Persons to whom Options may be granted

An Option may not be granted to an individual who is not an Eligible Employee at the Date of Grant.

13        Options non transferable

Notwithstanding Article 15 of the Plan, an Option shall be personal to the Eligible Employee to whom it is granted and, subject to rule 23, shall not be capable of being transferred, charged or otherwise alienated and shall lapse immediately if the Option Holder purports to transfer, charge or otherwise alienate the Option.

14        Limit on number of Shares placed under Option under Sub-Plan

For the avoidance of doubt, Shares placed under Option under the Sub-Plan shall be taken into account for the purpose of Section 4.1 of the Plan.

15        HM Revenue & Customs limit (£30,000)

An Option may not be granted to an Eligible Employee if the result of granting the Option would be that the aggregate Market Value of the shares subject to all outstanding options granted to him under the Sub-Plan or any other share option scheme established by the Company or an Associated Company under Schedule 4) would exceed sterling £30,000 or such other limit as may from time to time be specified in paragraph 6 of Schedule 4.  

16        Foreign Currency Options

For the purpose of the limit contained in rule 15, the United Kingdom sterling equivalent of the Market Value of a share on any day shall be determined by taking the spot sterling/US dollar exchange rate for that day as shown in the Financial Times.  

17        Scaling Down

If the grant of an Option would otherwise cause the limit in rule 15 to be exceeded, it shall take effect as the grant of an Option under the Sub-Plan over the highest number of Shares which does not cause the limit to be exceeded.  If more than one Option is granted on the same Date of Grant, the number of Shares which would otherwise be subject to each Option shall be reduced pro rata.

18        Exercise price under Options

Notwithstanding Section 7.2 of the Plan, the amount payable per Share on the exercise of an Option shall not be manifestly less than the Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant.

19        Latest date for exercise of Options

An Option may not be exercised more than ten years after the Date of Grant and to the extent not so exercised by that time the Option shall lapse immediately. This term can be extended only in the event of the death of the Option Holder as required by rule 23.

20        Material Interest

An Option may not be exercised if the Option Holder then has, or has had within the preceding twelve months, a Material Interest in a Close Company which is the Company or which is a company which has Control of the Company or which is a member of a Consortium which owns the Company.

21        Payment for Shares on exercise of Options

The amount due on the exercise of an Option may be paid in cash or by cheque or banker’s draft, or by using other payment methods acceptable to the Company for payment of the amount due. The payment may not be in the form of relinquishing a portion of the Option or paid by the transfer to the Company of Shares or any other shares or securities, and in any circumstance the Company must not charge an administrative fee for the exercise of an Option.  The date of exercise of an Option shall be the date on which the Company receives the amount due on the exercise of the Option under this rule 21, together with any payment or documentation required under rule 29.

22        Issue or transfer of Shares on exercise of Options

The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event not later than thirty days after the date of exercise of an Option, issue or transfer to the Option Holder, or procure the issue or transfer to the Option Holder of, the number of Shares specified in the notice of exercise, subject only to compliance by the Option Holder with the rules of the Sub-Plan and to any delay necessary to complete or obtain:

22.1   the listing of the Shares on any stock exchange on which Shares are then listed; or  
22.2   such registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable law, rule or regulation as the Company determines is necessary or desirable.

23        Death of Option Holder

If an Option Holder dies before the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant, his personal representatives shall be entitled to exercise his Options at any time during the twelve-month period following his death.  If not so exercised, the Options shall lapse immediately.  

24        Retirement of Option Holder

The definition of the term “Retirement” in Article 2 of the Plan shall not apply to this Sub-Plan and the term “Retirement” in paragraph 2 of the appended form of Award Agreement under the heading “Vesting and Exercise” shall bear its natural meaning in the United Kingdom.

25        Change in Control of Company

25.1   Exchange of Options

Should a Change in Control occur within the terms of Article 17 of the Plan, then only if a company (“Acquiring Company”) obtains Control of the Company as a result of making:

25.1.1  a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company which is made on a condition such that if it is satisfied the person making the offer will have Control of the Company; 

25.1.2  a general offer to acquire all the shares in the Company of the same class as the Shares:

25.1.3  a compromise or arrangement sanctioned by the court under section 899 of the Companies Act 2006; or

25.1.4  a “non-UK company reorganisation arrangement” (within the meaning of paragraph 35ZA of Schedule 4); or

25.1.5 should an Acquiring Company become bound or entitled to acquire Shares under sections 979 to 982 of the Companies Act 2006, 

an Option Holder may, at any time during the period set out in rule 25.2, by agreement with the Acquiring Company, release his Option in consideration of the grant to him of a new option (“New Option”) which is equivalent to the Option but which relates to shares (“New Shares”) in:

•the Acquiring Company;
•a company which has Control of the Acquiring Company; or
•a company which either is, or has Control of, a company which is a member of a Consortium which owns either the Acquiring Company or a company having Control of the Acquiring Company.

25.2   Period allowed for exchange of Options

The period referred to in rule 25.1 is:

25.2.1  for events in rules 25.1.1 to 25.1.4 (inclusive), the period of six months beginning with the time when the person making the offer has obtained Control of the Company and any condition subject to which the offer is made has been satisfied; and

25.2.2    for the event in rule 25.1.5, the period during which the Acquiring Company remains bound or entitled to acquire Shares under sections 979 to 982 of the Companies Act 2006.

25.3   Meaning of “equivalent”

The New Option shall not be regarded for the purpose of this rule 25 as equivalent to the Option unless:

25.3.1  the New Shares satisfy the conditions in paragraphs 16 to 20 of Schedule 4; and          

25.3.2  the New Option is exercisable in the same manner as the Option and subject to the provisions of the Sub-Plan as it had effect immediately before the release of the Option; and

25.3.3  the total market value, immediately before the release of the Option, of the Shares which were subject to the Option is substantially the same as the total market value, immediately after the grant of the New Option, of the New Shares subject to the New Option (market value being determined using a methodology agreed by HM Revenue & Customs);

25.3.4  the total amount payable by the Option Holder for the acquisition of the New Shares under the New Option is substantially the same as the total amount that would have been payable by the Option Holder for the acquisition of the Shares under the Option.

25.4   Date of grant of New Option

The date of grant of the New Option shall be deemed to be the same as the Date of Grant of the Option.

25.5   Application of Sub-Plan to New Option

In the application of the Sub-Plan to the New Option, where appropriate, references to “Company” and “Shares” shall be read as if they were references to the company to whose shares the New Option relates and the New Shares, respectively, (save that in the definition of “Committee”, the reference to “Company” shall be read as if it were a reference to The Procter & Gamble Company).

26        Rights attaching to Shares issued on exercise of Options

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3 of the Plan, which grant the Committee authority to determine the conditions and restrictions, if any, applying to shares of Common Stock acquired through the exercise of an option, all Shares issued in respect of the exercise of an Option shall, as to any voting, dividend, transfer and other rights, including those arising on a liquidation of the Company, rank equally in all respects and as one class with the shares of the same class in issue at the date of such issue save as regards any rights attaching to such shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of such issue.

27        Amendment of Sub-Plan

Notwithstanding Section 19.1 of the Plan, no amendment may be made to a “key feature” of the Sub-Plan (within the meaning given to that expression in paragraph 30(4) of Schedule 4), whether 

taking the form of an amendment of the Plan or the Sub-Plan, that would result in the Sub-Plan no longer being a Schedule 4 CSOP.

28        Adjustment of Options

Notwithstanding Section 4.5 of the Plan, to the extent that any adjustment of an Option is permitted under these rules, it shall not be made unless the adjustment is permitted pursuant to, and in compliance with, paragraph 22 of Schedule 4.

29        Tax and social security withholding

An Option may not be exercised unless the Option Holder has beforehand made provision for the payment or withholding of any taxes and social security required to be withheld in accordance with the applicable law of any jurisdiction in respect of the exercise of the Option, or the receipt of the Shares.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 20 of the Plan  which permit different arrangements to be made to satisfy the payment in respect of any taxes and social security required to be withheld, the payment may not be in the form of relinquishing a portion of the Option or paid by the transfer to the Company of Shares or any other shares or securities, unless this is the Shares by virtue of the exercise of the Option. The Option Holder may, by agreement with the Company, enter into some other arrangement to ensure that such amount is available (whether by authorising the sale of some or all of the Shares subject to his Option and the payment to the Company, or where appropriate the Option Holder’s employing company of the requisite amount out of the proceeds of sale or otherwise). Where this is the case, the Option shall not be treated as exercised until the Company determines that such arrangements are satisfactory to it.

30        Transfer of Employer’s NIC

The Committee may, at its discretion, impose requirements for the payment by the Option Holder of all or any part of the employer’s national insurance contributions (“NIC”) which may arise as a result of the exercise of his Option. Such requirements shall be specified on the Date of Grant and shall be a condition of exercise of the Option, provided that the Committee (acting fairly and reasonably) may waive these requirements. They may include in particular, but not by way of limitation, a determination that the Option may not be exercised unless the Option Holder has beforehand paid to the Company (or the company which employs the Option Holder, if different) an amount sufficient to discharge all or any part of the employer’s NIC. Alternatively, the Option Holder may, by agreement with the Company or the employing company (as the case may be), enter into some other arrangement to ensure that such amount is available to them or it (whether by authorising the sale of some or all of the Shares subject to his Option and the payment to the Company or the employing company (as the case may be) of the requisite amount out of the proceeds of sale or otherwise). Where this is the case, the Option shall not be treated as exercised until the Company or the employing company (as the case may be) determine that such arrangements are satisfactory to it.

31        Disapplication of certain provisions of Plan

Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of the Plan shall not apply for the purpose of this Sub-Plan.  In addition the provisions of the Plan dealing with: 

•Incentive Stock Options;
•Stock Appreciation Rights;
•Restricted Stock;
•Restricted Stock Units;

The Procter & Gamble Performance Stock Program Summary

PERFORMANCE STOCK PROGRAM SUMMARY
(Effective July 1, 2019)

The Performance Stock Program (“PSP”) is a part of The Procter & Gamble Company’s (the “Company”) long-term incentive (“LTI”) compensation and is designed to provide additional focus on key Company measures for top executives with senior management responsibility for total Company results.  Awards granted under the PSP (“PSP Awards”) are made pursuant to authority delegated to the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee (the “C&LD Committee”) by the Board of Directors for determining compensation for the Company’s principal officers and for making awards under the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”) or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards.    

I.          ELIGIBILITY

The Chairman of the Board and/or Chief Executive Officer and those active executives at Band 6 or above as of October 1 prior to the grant date and recommended by management are eligible to participate (“Participants”).  In special circumstances such as for acquisitions or experienced hires, the CHRO may authorize participation for Band 6 or above employees who are not active as of October 1 but are active employees as of the grant date.

II.         OVERVIEW

A significant portion of the Band 6 and above compensation is delivered through two long-term incentive programs tied to Company performance: PSP and the Long-term Incentive Program.
 
Total long-term incentive compensation targets are based on relevant competitive market data considering the median total long-term compensation of comparable positions, regressed for revenue size.  The C&LD Committee establishes the Peer Group and sets compensation targets for all Principal Officers including the CEO.  The CEO approves compensation targets for non-Principal Officers (generally Band 6 managers).  

The C&LD Committee determines the long-term incentive award for the CEO.  The CEO recommends all other Principal Officer awards to the C&LD Committee based on benchmarked long-term compensation targets, adjusted for business results and individual contributions attributable to each executive and including that individual’s leadership skills. The C&LD Committee retains full authority to accept, modify, or reject these recommendations. The CEO approves awards for participants who are not Principal Officers based on long-term compensation targets, business results and individual contributions. Long-term incentive awards can be up to 50% above or 50% below the benchmarked target. In exceptional cases, no award will be made. After total LTI award size is determined then approximately half of each Band 7 manager’s long-term compensation is allocated to PSP via an Initial PSU Grant (as defined below). The remaining portion is a Long-term Incentive Program Grant.  Approximately 25% of each Band 6 manager’s total LTI is allocated to PSP with the remainder awarded under the Long-term Incentive Program.

PSP rewards Participants for Company performance against certain three-year performance goals in categories established by the C&LD Committee.  The C&LD Committee sets these performance goals for each three-year period that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 three 
Approved October 8, 2019

years later (“Performance Period”).  In the first year of each Performance Period, the C&LD Committee grants Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) to Participants that will vest at the end of the Performance Period based on the Company’s performance relative to the pre-established performance goals (“Initial PSU Grant”).  The number of PSUs that vest at the end of the Performance Period depends on the Company’s performance against the pre-established performance goals.  Vested PSUs, including dividend equivalents, are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) delivered to the applicable Participant within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period, or such later date as may be elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”).

III.        PERFORMANCE CATEGORIES 

The PSP Award is based on the Company’s performance in each of the following categories (each a “Performance Category”) and weighted as indicated:

•Organic sales growth (percentile rank in the competitive peer group)*  – 30%
•Constant currency core before-tax operating profit growth – 20%
•Core earnings per share (EPS) growth – 30%
•Adjusted free cash flow productivity – 20%

Awards will be further adjusted based on the three-year relative total shareholder return (R-TSR) of P&G compared to the competitive peer group*.  Awards will be adjusted for top quartile performance using a 125% multiplier to increase awards, and reduced for bottom quartile performance using a 75% multiplier.
* Competitive peer group is defined in the PSP Accounting Guidelines.

Within the first 90 days of each Performance Period, the C&LD Committee sets three-year performance goals (“Performance Goals”) for each Performance Category for such Performance Period and establishes a sliding scale to measure the Company’s performance against each Performance Goal in each Performance Category.  The C&LD Committee uses the sliding scale to establish a payout factor between 0% and 200% for each Performance Category (a “Sales Factor”, “Profit Factor”, “EPS Factor” and “Cash Flow Factor”, collectively, “Performance Factors”).

In all cases, the C&LD Committee retains the discretion to include or exclude certain of the Performance Categories for purposes of determining the PSP Award.  The C&LD Committee may reduce or eliminate any payment if it determines that such payout is inconsistent with long-term shareholders’ interests or incongruous with the overall performance of the company.

PSP awards will have the following terms unless otherwise approved by the C&LD Committee:

IV.        THE INITIAL PSU GRANT 

The C&LD Committee has the sole discretion to establish the target award (“PSP Target”) for each Participant serving as a Principal Officer.  The CEO establishes the PSP Targets for participants who are not Principal Officers. The PSP Target will be a cash amount and will be the basis for the Initial PSU Grant.  The C&LD Committee will make the Initial PSU Grant on the last business date in February (“Grant Date”) following the beginning of each Performance Period.  If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the day of the grant, then the C&LD will establish a grant date as soon as practical subsequent to the date previously specified for such award. The Initial PSU Grant will set forth a target and maximum number of PSUs.  The target number of

PSUs will be determined by dividing the PSP Target by the expense value of one PSU using the same methodology by which the Company expenses PSUs, rounding to the nearest whole unit.

The Initial PSU Grant maximum will be two times the Initial PSU Grant.      

V.         PSU VESTING AND PAYMENT

After the Performance Period is complete, the C&LD Committee will establish the Payout Factors for each of the Performance Categories based on the Company’s results versus the pre-established Performance Goals.  The number of PSUs that vest will be determined by multiplying the Performance Factors by their respective weightings, summing up the results, then applying the R-TSR multiplier if applicable.  The final result will be rounded up or down to the nearest full percentage.   The resulting percentage will be applied to the number of PSUs in the Initial PSU Grant target, including dividends that would have accumulated since the initial PSU grant on the vested units.  Any resulting fractional share units may be paid as cash, fractional shares, or rounded up to the next full share based on administrative preference of the Company.  The number of PSUs that vest may be equal to, above or below the Initial PSU Grant target depending on the Company’s performance in the Performance Categories, but in no event more than the Initial PSU Grant maximum.  Vested PSUs are converted into shares of Common Stock delivered to the applicable Participant within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period, or such later date as may be elected by the Participant if applicable and in accordance with Section 409A.

Participants at Band 7 and above may elect to defer delivery of the Common Stock by electing to receive Restricted Stock Units.  PSP RSUs will have the following terms unless otherwise approved by the Committee at grant:

VESTING AND SETTLEMENT:   PSP RSUs will be vested on the grant date with a settlement date at least one year following the original PSU delivery date (as elected by the Participant), are eligible for dividend equivalents, and can be further deferred in accordance with Section 409A.  These RSUs will be paid on their Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, except in the case of death.  In the case of death (except in France and the UK), payment will be made by the later of the end of the calendar year or two and a half months following the date of death.  For awards granted in France or the UK, the consequences of death are determined by the local plan supplement, if applicable.

VI.        SEPARATION FROM THE COMPANY (Defined terms shall have the meaning designated in the 2019 Plan or related award documents)

If the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs for any reason before the Vest Date, except for the reasons listed below, the Award will be forfeited.  Participants must remain in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Plan, including those in Article 6. 

•Termination on Account of Death (except in France and the UK).  The Award is immediately vested and will become deliverable on the Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is applicable. 

•Termination on Account of Death for awards granted in France or the UK.  The consequences of death are determined by the local plan supplement, if applicable.

•Termination on Account of Retirement or Disability after June 30th of the fiscal year in which this Award was granted.  PSUs are retained and will be delivered on the Settlement Date. 

•Termination pursuant to a Written Separation Agreement that provides for retention of the Award, after June 30th of the fiscal year in which this Award was granted. PSUs are retained and will be delivered on the Settlement Date. 

•Termination in connection with a divestiture or separation of any of the Company’s businesses, as determined by the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer.  PSUs are retained and will be delivered on the Settlement Date. 

VII.       CHANGE IN CONTROL

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control that meets the requirements of a change in control event under Section 409A, all outstanding PSP Awards will vest at 100% of the Initial PSU Grant target (or 100% of the PSP Target if the Change in Control occurs prior to the Initial PSU Grant) including dividends that would have accumulated since the initial PSU grant on the vested units, and shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at the time of such Change in Control.  If there is a Change in Control event that does not meet the requirements of a change in control event under Section 409A, all outstanding PSP Awards will be settled according to the terms and conditions set forth herein, without the application Article 17 of the 2019 Plan.  “Change in Control” shall have the same meaning as defined in the 2019 Plan or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards.

VIII.      GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

It shall be understood that the PSP does not give to any officer or employee any contract rights, express or implied, against any Company for any PSP Award, or for compensation in addition to the salary paid to him or her, or any right to question the action of the Board of Directors or the C&LD Committee.

Each PSP Award made to an individual at Band 7 and above is subject to the Senior Executive Recoupment Policy adopted by the C&LD Committee in December 2006.

To the extent applicable, it is intended that the PSP comply with the provisions of Section 409A.  The PSP will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.  Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under the PSP to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to a Participant under the PSP may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company.
