•Automatically settled on the fifth or seventh anniversary of the grant but vest on the third anniversary of the grant, after which time there is no longer a substantial likelihood of forfeiture.

•For PPSs granted during the period presented, the awards vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date and the number of shares paid, if any, depends on the achievement of predetermined goals related to Pfizer’s long-term product portfolio during a five-year performance period from the year of the grant date.
•The number of shares that may be earned ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial award depending on goal achievement over the performance period.
As of the grant date using the intrinsic value method using the closing price of our common stock
Amortized on a straight-line basis over the probable vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate, and adjusted each reporting period, as necessary, to reflect changes in the price of our common stock, changes in the number of shares that are probable of being earned and changes in management’s assessment of the probability that the specified performance criteria will be achieved and/or changes in management’s
assessment of the probable vesting term.
Performance Share Awards (PSAs)
Senior and other key management
•Entitle the holder to receive, at the end of the performance period, shares of our common stock, if any, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents, dependent upon the achievement of predetermined goals related to two measures:
a.Adjusted operating income (for performance years through 2018) or adjusted net income (for 2019 and later years, except for the 2017 PSAs) over three one-year periods; and
b.TSR as compared to the NYSE ARCA Pharmaceutical Index (DRG Index) over the three-year performance period.
•PSAs vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date.
•The number of shares that may be earned ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial award depending on goal achievement over the performance period.
As of the grant date using the intrinsic value method using the closing price of our common stock
Amortized on a straight-line basis over the probable vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses, and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate, and adjusted each reporting period, as necessary, to reflect changes in the price of our common stock, changes in the number of shares that are probable of being earned and changes in management’s assessment of the probability that the specified performance criteria will be achieved.
Stock Options
Select employees
•Entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of our common stock at a price per share equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, when vested.
•Beginning in 2016, only a limited set of non-U.S. employees received stock option grants. No stock options were awarded to senior and other key management in any period presented.
•Stock options vest after three years of continuous service from the grant date and have a contractual term of 10 years.
As of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model
Amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term into Cost of sales, Selling, informational and administrative expenses, and/or Research and development expenses, as appropriate.
(a)Retirement-eligible holders, as defined in the grant terms, can convert their TSRUs, when vested, into Profit Units (PTUs) with a conversion ratio based on a calculation used to determine the shares at TSRU settlement. The PTUs are entitled to earn Dividend Equivalent Units (DEUs), and the PTUs and DEUs will be settled in our common stock on the TSRUs’ original settlement date and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the original grant including forfeiture provisions.
(b) In 2017, Performance Total Shareholder Return Units (PTSRUs) were awarded to the Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (1,444,395 PTSRUs) and 361,099 PTSRUs were awarded to the Group President, Chief Business Officer (former role Group President Pfizer Innovative Health) at a grant price of $30.31 and at a GDFV of $5.54 per PTSRU. All these amounts have been adjusted for the Upjohn spin-off discussed in Note 2B. In addition to having the same characteristics and valuation methodology of TSRUs, PTSRU grants require special service and performance conditions.

(c)In connection with the Upjohn Business spin-off, the Company made adjustments to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately before and after the spin-off. The terms of the outstanding awards remain the same and continue to vest over the original vesting periods. Certain outstanding awards at the time of the spin-off held by employees of Upjohn were prorated for services performed and the remaining portion forfeited at the time of the separation. The share-based awards held as of November 16, 2020 were adjusted as follows:
•The number of outstanding TSRUs was increased and the grant price was decreased.
•The number of shares of common stock subject to each outstanding RSUs, PPSs, and PSAs was increased.
The adjustments to the stock-based compensation awards did not result in additional compensation cost.
