administering the Plan, and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee’s determination on the foregoing matters shall be conclusive. No member of the Board of Directors or the

 4. Duration And Purchase Periods Of The Plan. 

The Plan commenced as of January 1, 2015, and will terminate ten (10) years thereafter, unless extended by the Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall be considered of no force or effect and any options granted hereunder shall be considered null and void unless the holders of a majority of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary
shares approve the Plan within the twelve (12) consecutive month period immediately preceding or following the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors. 

The Plan shall be carried out in a series of consecutive calendar quarters with the first such quarterly Purchase Period commencing
January 1, 2015, and ending March 31, 2015. Each Purchase Period shall commence immediately after termination of the previous Purchase Period. In the event that all of the ordinary shares reserved for grant of options hereunder are issued
pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of one or more of the scheduled Purchase Periods, or the number of ordinary shares remaining for optioning is so small, in the opinion of the Committee, as to render administration of any
succeeding Purchaser Period impracticable, such Purchase Period or Purchase Periods may be canceled. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board of Directors, the Committee or the Committee’s delegate pursuant to Paragraph 3
hereof may, in its, her or his discretion, designate a different commencement date for a Purchase Period. 
 5. Eligibility. 

Each Employee who is employed by a Participating Employer immediately preceding the commencement date of a Purchase Period shall be eligible
to participate in the Plan for such Purchase Period, provided that he or she has satisfied the enrollment requirements described in Paragraph 6. 

6. Participation. 

Participation in the Plan is voluntary. An eligible Employee may elect to participate in the Plan for any Purchase Period by completing the
Plan payroll deduction form provided by his or her Participating Employer and delivering it to the Participating Employer or its designated representative not later than the date preceding the commencement date of the Purchase Period specified by
the Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company (or such other individual as may be designated by the Committee), which form shall comply with the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees who elect
to participate in the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges. All forms under the Plan may be paper and/or electronic in nature. 

An Employee who elects to participate in the Plan for any Purchase Period shall be deemed to have elected to participate in the Plan for each
subsequent consecutive Purchase Period unless such Participant elects to discontinue payroll deductions during a Purchase Period or exercises his or her right to withdraw all amounts previously withheld as provided in Paragraph 9(a). In this event,
the Participant must submit a change of election form or a new payroll deduction form, as the case may be, to participate in the Plan for any subsequent Purchase Period. The Participant may also increase his or her participation for any subsequent
Purchase Period by submitting a new payroll deduction form during the enrollment period prior to that Purchase Period. 
 7. Payroll
Deductions. 
 (a) Each Employee electing to participate shall indicate such election on the Plan payroll deduction form by designating
that percentage of his or her Salary that he or she wishes to have deducted. Such percentage shall be stated in whole percentage points and shall be not less than two 

  
 3 

 
percent (2%) nor more than ten percent (10%) of the Participant’s Salary, or such other minimum and maximum percentages as the Committee or Senior Vice President, Chief Human
Resources Officer (or such other individual as may be designated by the Committee), may establish from time to time prior to the start date of a Purchase Period, but not to exceed fifteen percent (15%). 

Payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payday coinciding with or immediately following the commencement date of the
Purchase Period and shall terminate on the last payday immediately prior to or coinciding with the termination date of that Purchase Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Paragraphs 7(b) or 9 hereof. The authorized
deductions shall be made over the pay periods of such Purchase Period by deducting from the Participant’s Salary for each such pay period that percentage as specified by the Participant as of the commencement date of the Purchase Period. Except
for a Participant’s rights to reduce or discontinue deductions pursuant to Paragraphs 7(b) and 9 hereof, the same percentage deduction shall be applied against the Participant’s Salary for each pay period during such Purchase Period,
whether or not the Participant’s Salary level increases or decreases after the commencement date of such Purchase Period. 
 The extent
to which a Participant may actually exercise his or her option shall be based upon the amount actually withheld for such Participant as of the termination date of the Purchase Period. 

(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to increase the percentage amount to be deducted in a given Purchase Period after the delivery
deadline specified in Paragraph 6 for filing his or her payroll deduction form. The Participant may elect at any time prior to or during a Purchase Period to decrease the percentage amount to be so deducted or discontinue any further deductions in a
given Purchase Period by filing an amended election form at least ten (10) days prior to the first payroll date as of which such decrease or discontinued deduction is to become effective, or such other date as determined by the Committee or
Senior Vice President, Human Resources (or such other individual as may be designated by the Committee) prior to the start date of a Purchase Period. In the event of such a decrease or discontinuance of deductions, the extent to which such
Participant may exercise his or her option as of the termination date of the Purchase Period shall depend upon the amount actually withheld through payroll deductions for such Participant. A Participant may also completely discontinue participation
in the Plan as provided in Paragraph 9 hereof. 
 (c) Payroll deductions which are authorized by Participants who are paid compensation in
foreign currency shall be maintained in payroll deduction accounts (as provided in Paragraph 11) in the country in which such Participant is employed until exercise of the option. Upon exercise of the option granted to such Participant, the amount
so withheld shall be used to purchase up to the maximum number of ordinary shares which is subject to that Participant’s option pursuant to Paragraph 8(a)(i) below, determined on the basis of the Rate of Exchange for currency as of the exercise
date. Upon exercise of the option, the option price shall be paid to the Company in dollars after having been converted at the Rate of Exchange as of the exercise date, and the extent to which the Participant may exercise his or her option is
dependent, in part, upon the Rate of Exchange as of such date. 
 8. Options. 

(a) Grant of Option. 
  

	 	(i)	Number Of Shares. A Participant who is employed by the Participating Employer as of the commencement date of a Purchase Period shall be granted an option at termination date of that Purchase Period to purchase
that number of whole ordinary shares of the Company by dividing the total amount actually credited to that Participant’s account under Paragraph 7 hereof by the option price set forth in Paragraph 8(a)(ii), provided such option shall be subject
to the limitations in Paragraph 8(a)(iv). 

  
 4 

	 	(ii)	Option Price. The option price per ordinary share shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value per share on the termination date of the Purchase Period. 

 

	 	(iii)	Fair Market Value. The fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares on such date (or the last preceding business day if such date is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday) shall be computed as follows:

 A. If the Company’s ordinary shares shall be listed on any national securities exchange, then such
price shall be computed on the basis of the closing sale price of the ordinary shares on such exchange on such date, or, if no sale of the ordinary shares has occurred on such exchange on that date, on the next preceding date on which there was a
sale of the ordinary shares; 
 B. If the ordinary shares shall not be so listed, then such price shall be the mean between
the highest bid and asked prices quoted by a recognized market maker in the ordinary shares on such date; or 
 C. If the
ordinary shares shall not be so listed and such bid and asked prices shall not be so quoted, then such price shall be determined by an investment banking firm acceptable to the Company. 

 

	 	(iv)	Limitations On Purchase. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: 

A. A Participant shall not have the right to purchase ordinary shares under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company,
its Subsidiaries or its parent, if any, at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) of fair market value of such shares as determined at the time such option is granted (which is equal to $21,250 of shares at 85% of fair market
value on the termination date of the Purchase Period) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. 

B. No Employee shall be granted an option if, immediately after the grant, such Employee would own stock possessing five
percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company, its parent, if any, or of any Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of determining stock ownership under this subparagraph (B), the rules
of Section 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor provision, shall apply, and stock that the Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee. 

C. The Committee may, in its discretion, limit the number of shares available for option grants during any Purchase Period, as
it deems appropriate. 
 (b) Exercise of Option. Except as otherwise specified in Paragraph 9, the Participant’s option for the
purchase of such number of ordinary shares as determined pursuant to Paragraph 8(a) will be exercised automatically for him or her as of the termination date of that Purchase Period. In no event shall a Participant be allowed to exercise his or her
option for more shares than can be purchased with the payroll deductions actually credited to his or her account during such Purchase Period, whether or not the deductions actually credited are less than the full amount to be credited as determined
on the commencement date of the Purchase Period pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) hereof, it being intended that the sufficiency of amounts actually credited to a Participant’s account be a condition to the exercise of the option by such Participant.

  

	 	(i)	 Fractional ordinary shares will not be issued under the Plan. For Participants who use their funds to purchase the maximum amount of shares
permissible at the 

  
 5 

	 	
end of a Purchase Period, any cash amount that remains in the Participant’s account because it is insufficient to purchase a whole ordinary share shall be held in the account until the
exercise date of the next subsequent Purchase Period, at which time it will be included in the funds used to purchase ordinary shares for that Purchase Period, except as set forth in Paragraph 9 or the Committee, in its discretion, elects to pay out
such cash amount to Participants. 

  

	 	(ii)	Upon issuance of the ordinary shares to the Participant at the end of a Purchase Period, the dividends payable on such shares will be automatically reinvested in the Company’s ordinary shares under the Medtronic
plc Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRP”) unless the Committee, in its discretion, determines otherwise. The Participant has the right, upon written notice to the Company’s designated agent, to elect instead to receive the dividends
directly by check. 

 (c) Issuance And Delivery Of Shares. As promptly as practicable after the termination date of any
Purchase Period, the Company will issue the ordinary shares purchased under the Plan. The Company may determine, in its discretion, the manner of delivery of ordinary shares purchased under the Plan, which may be by electronic account entry into new
or existing accounts, delivery of share certificates or such other means as the Company, in its discretion, deems appropriate. The Company may, in its discretion, hold such shares on behalf of the Participants during the restricted period set forth
in Paragraph 8(d) below. 
 (d) Restrictions On Resale Or Transfer Of Shares. Ordinary shares acquired by a Participant hereunder may
not be sold or transferred until after the earlier of: (1) the one-year anniversary of the date on which the shares were issued; or (2) the death of the Participant. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Committee may require that
the Participant not transfer such shares for any additional period determined by the Committee to be necessary to ensure that the Company or any Participating Employer is able to meet its reporting requirements pursuant to Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code. 
 Any attempt by the Participant to sell or transfer such shares in violation of this Paragraph 8(d) shall be
considered null and void and of no force or effect. During such restricted transfer period, each certificate and account evidencing such shares shall bear an appropriate legend or stop transfer order, respectively, referring to the terms,
restrictions and conditions applicable to the transfer of such shares. 
 9. Withdrawal Or Termination Of Participation. 

(a) Withdrawal. A Participant may, preceding the termination date of a Purchase Period, withdraw all payroll deductions then credited
to his or her account by giving written notice to his or her Participating Employer. Upon receipt of such notice of withdrawal, all payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account will be paid to him or her and no further payroll
deductions will be made for such Participant during that Purchase Period. In such case, no option shall be granted the Participant under that Purchase Period. Partial withdrawals of payroll deductions may not be made. In order to be effective, this
notice must be provided to the Participating Employer by the date during the Purchase Period specified by the Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer (or such other individual as may be designated by the Committee). 

(b) Termination Of Employment. If a Participant’s employment shall be terminated for any reason prior to the termination date of
any Purchase Period in which he or she is participating, no option shall be granted to such Participant under the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to his or her account shall be returned to him or her. 

(c) Death. If the Participant dies before the termination date of any Purchase Period of the Plan in which he or she is
participating, the payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.  

  
 6 

 10. Shares Reserved For Options. 

(a) Twenty-two million (22,000,000) ordinary shares of the Company, $.0001 par value per share (or the number and kind of securities to
which such shares may be adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 12), are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan. Shares subject to the unexercised portion of any lapsed or expired option may again be subject to
option under the Plan. 
 (b) If, as of the beginning of a Purchase Period, the total number of ordinary shares for which options are to be
granted for the Purchase Period exceeds the number of shares then remaining available under the Plan (after deduction of all shares for which options have been exercised or are then outstanding) and if the Committee does not elect to cancel such
Purchase Period pursuant to Paragraph 4, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available in as nearly a uniform and equitable manner as practicable. In such event, the payroll deductions to be made pursuant to the
Plan that would otherwise become effective on such commencement date shall be reduced accordingly. The Committee shall give written notice of such reduction to each Participant affected. 

(c) The Participant (or, if permitted pursuant to Paragraph 10(d) hereof, the joint tenant named thereunder) shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares subject to the Participant’s option until the date of issuance of such shares to such Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance date of such shares, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Paragraph 12. 

(d) The ordinary shares to be delivered to a Participant pursuant to the exercise of an option under the Plan will be registered in the name
of the Participant or, if the Committee permits and the Participant so directs by written notice to the Committee prior to the termination date of that Purchase Period of the Plan, in the names of the Participant and one other person as joint
tenants with rights of survivorship, to the extent permitted by law. Any shares so registered in the names of the Participant and his or her joint tenant shall be subject to any applicable restrictions on the right to transfer such shares during
such Participant’s lifetime as otherwise provided in Paragraph 8 hereof. 
 11. Accounting And Use of Funds. 

Payroll deductions for each Participant shall be credited to an account established under the Plan. A Participant may not make any separate
cash payments into such account. Such account shall be solely for bookkeeping purposes and no separate fund or trust shall be established hereunder. All funds from payroll deductions received or held by the Participating Employers under the Plan may
be used, without limitation, for any corporate purpose by the Participating Employers who shall not be obligated to segregate such funds. Such accounts shall not bear interest. 

12. Adjustment Provision. 

Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event that (i) the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of
the Company are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company or of another issuer, (ii) additional shares or new or different securities are distributed with respect to the outstanding ordinary
shares of the Company or any other alteration to the capital structure of the Company whether through a reorganization or merger to which the Company is a party, or through a combination, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, spin-off transaction, stock consolidation or other capital change or adjustment, effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) should the value of outstanding ordinary shares be
substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, then equitable adjustments shall automatically be made to (a) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the Plan,
(b) the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect under each outstanding option, and (c) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable by each Participant (or, in total by all Participants if any such
limitation is in effect) under the Plan on any one purchase date, provided that in no event shall the price per share of an option be reduced to an amount that is lower than the nominal value of a share. 

  
 7 

 In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Board of Directors may either: (i) amend or
adjust the provisions of this Plan to provide for the acceleration of the current Purchase Period and the exercise of options thereunder; or (ii) continue the Plan with respect to completion of the then current Purchase Period and the exercise
of options thereunder. In the event of such continuance, Participants shall have the right to exercise their options as to an equivalent number of shares of stock of the corporation succeeding the Company by reason of such sale, merger,
consolidation, liquidation or other event, as provided pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor provision. The grant of an option pursuant to the Plan shall not limit in any way the right or power of the Company
or Board of Directors to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes in the Company’s capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 13. Non-Transferability Of Options. 

Options granted under any Purchase Period of the Plan shall not be transferable and shall be exercisable only by the optionee. 

Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s account, nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or the receipt of
ordinary shares under any Purchase Period of the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be null and void and
without effect, except that a Participating Employer may, at its option, treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Paragraph 9(a). 

14. Amendment and Termination. 

The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors provided that, except as permitted pursuant to Paragraph 12, no such
termination will take effect with respect to any completed Purchase Period. Also, the Board may, from time to time, amend the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company or as may be necessary to comply with Section 423
of the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable laws or regulations, provided that no such amendment shall, without prior approval of the shareholders of the Company: (a) increase the total number of shares for which options may be granted
under the Plan (except as provided in Paragraph 12); (b) permit payroll deductions at a rate in excess of ten percent (10%) of a Participant’s compensation or such other permissible maximum contribution established by the Committee or
Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer (or such other individual as may be designated by the Committee); (c) impair any outstanding option without the consent of the optionee (except as provided in Paragraph 12); (d) change
the Employees or class of Employees eligible to participate under the Plan; or (e) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan. 

15. Notices. 
 All
notices or other communications in connection with the Plan or any Purchase Period thereof shall be in the form specified by the Committee and shall be deemed to have been duly given when sent to the Participant at his or her last known address, or
the Participant’s designated personal representative or beneficiary, or to the Participating Employer or its designated representative, as the case may be. 

16. Alteration of Plan Terms to Comply with Foreign Law; Establishment of Non-Statutory Plans. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, the Committee or the Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company (or such other individual as may be designated by the Committee) may, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries operate or have participants, (i) modify the terms and conditions of the 

  
 8 

 
Plan as applicable to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (ii) establish sub-plans and modify administrative procedures and other terms and
procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable (any such sub-plans and/or modifications shall be attached to this Plan as appendices); and (iii) take any action deemed advisable to comply with any necessary local
governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals; provided, however, that no action may be taken hereunder that would violate any securities law, tax law or any other applicable law or cause the Plan not to comply with Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 17. Irish Conditions for Issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,
the Company shall not obliged to issue or deliver any shares until all legal and regulatory requirements associated with such issue or delivery have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee.
