Subject: Award of Restricted Stock Units
This is to advise you that The Procter & Xxxxxx Company (“Company”) hereby grants to you Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) of Procter & Xxxxxx Common Stock as follows:
Number of Restricted Stock Units: | [# SHARES] | |
Grant Date: | [GRANT_DATE] | |
Vest Date: | [DATE (Day Before Next Annual Meeting Following Grant)] | |
Original Settlement Date: | One Year Following Termination of Directorship | |
This Award is granted in accordance with and subject to the terms of The Procter & Xxxxxx 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (including any applicable sub-plan) (the “Plan”), the Regulations of the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”), and this Award Agreement, including Attachment A-BOD. Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan.
Voting Rights and Dividend Equivalents
As a holder of RSUs, during the period from the Grant Date until the date the RSUs are paid, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional RSUs (“Dividend Equivalent RSUs”). The number of Dividend Equivalent RSUs will be determined as follows: multiply the number of RSUs and Dividend Equivalent RSUs currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on Common Stock, then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent RSUs will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original RSUs that gave rise to them, including vesting and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent RSUs on the date the RSUs are paid, the Dividend Equivalent RSUs will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of RSUs. This Award represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive payment in the future, and does not entitle you to voting rights or dividend rights as a shareholder.
Vesting and Payment
If you remain a Non-Employee Director through the Vest Date, the Award will be paid on the Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is applicable, except in the case of death or Disability. In the case of death or Disability, the Award will be fully vested and 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 or Disability, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, payment shall be made pursuant to the terms provided in the Plan.
Payment under this Award will be made in the form of Common Stock or such other form of payment as determined by the Committee pursuant to the Plan, subject to applicable tax withholding.
Deferral Election
At any time prior to Termination of Directorship, you and the Company may agree to postpone the Original Settlement Date to such later date (“Agreed Settlement Date”) as may be elected by you, which date shall be at least five years later than the Original Settlement Date and in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
This Award Agreement including Attachment A-BOD, the Plan and Regulations of the Committee together constitute an agreement between the Company and you in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, and no other understanding and/or agreements that have been entered by you with the Company regarding this specific Award. Any legal action related to this Award may be brought in any federal or state court located in Xxxxxxxx County, Ohio, USA, and you hereby agree to accept the jurisdiction of these courts and consent to service of process from said courts solely for legal actions related to this Award.

Finally, I shall pay to P&G any amount of Tax-Related Items that P&G may be required to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plan or my purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. P&G may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.
