This document constitutes a binding agreement amending the current employment agreement (Employment Agreement) concluded between the parties on November 1, 2007. The parties agree following terms and conditions:

End of CEO term
Mr. Filliol's position as CEO and president of Mettler-Toledo shall end March 31st, 2021.
As of April 1st, 2021, Mr. Filliol's current full-time employment shall end, and Mr. Filliol shall assume the role of a non-executive director governed by the terms set forth below.
New Role
Mr. Filliol shall continue to be serving the Company as a non-executive director. Should the annual general meetings in 2021 and 2022 not approve his proposed re-election as a director of the Company, his engagement as per the terms of this agreement shall be extended until December 31, 2022.

In addition to the duties of Mr. Filliol as a non-executive director of the Company, he shall, depending on his availability, advise and support the CEO and the Company as and when required, in particular in the areas of sales and marketing, human resources and investor relations. The Company will provide Mr. Filliol with the administrative, IT and other support necessary to fulfill his role.
Remuneration
Mr. Filliol's annual remuneration for his role as non-executive director of the Company shall be in line with the compensation otherwise paid to non-executive directors without committee membership. In addition, and irrespective of his re-election as non-executive director of the Company, Mr. Filliol shall benefit from the vesting of existing LTI grants which he received in his capacity as CEO for the full business years 2021 and 2022. Irrespective of Mr. Filliol's continued service as non-executive director of the Company in 2023 and thereafter, the vesting of these LTI grants for 2023 and any year thereafter will terminate without compensation, unless otherwise decided by the board of directors of the Company in its sole discretion.

Mr. Filliol will participate in POBS Plus up to and including March 31, 2021 but not thereafter.

Non-compete / Non-solicitation
The existing non-compete and non-solicitation provision as provided in the original employment agreement shall stay in place until December 31, 2023. The Company takes note that Mr. Filliol is currently a non-executive director of a Swiss listed company, plans to assume other board memberships and possibly other employments, and to pursue private interests. The non-compete and non-solicit covenant of the original employment agreement shall apply to all these activities.
Termination
This amendment agreement shall apply to Mr. Filliol's relationship with the Company as from April 1, 2021 and last until December 31, 2022.
