THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
 
2.   Comprehensive Income — Total comprehensive income is composed primarily of net earnings, net currency translation gains and losses, impacts of net investment and cash flow hedges and net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $4,389 million and $2,800 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, total comprehensive income was $12,588 million and $8,976 million, respectively.
 
3.   Segment Information — Following is a summary of segment results. In May 2007, we announced a number of changes to our organization structure and certain of our key leadership positions. The changes became effective on July 1, 2007 and resulted in changes to our GBU and reporting segment structure. The businesses that previously comprised the Gillette GBU are now included within the Beauty and Household Care GBUs. The Braun business has been combined with the Blades and Razors business to form the Grooming reportable segment within the Beauty GBU. The Grooming reportable segment also includes all face and shave prep products which were previously reported within the Beauty reportable segment. Duracell was moved to our Household Care GBU and will be reported as part of our Fabric Care and Home Care reportable segment. Finally, our feminine care business, which previously was part of our Beauty GBU and reportable segment, is now part of our Health and Well-Being GBU and will be reported as part of the Health Care reportable segment. The following segment information reflects the new segment reporting structure.

4.   The Company acquired the Gillette Company in October 2005. At that time, we recognized an assumed liability for Gillette exit costs of $1.23 billion, including $854 million in separations related to approximately 5,500 people, $55 million in employee relocation costs and $320 million in other exit costs. These costs are primarily related to the elimination of selling, general and administrative overlap between the two companies in areas like Global Business Services, corporate staff and go-to-market support, as well as redundant manufacturing capacity. As of March 31, 2008, the remaining liability was $322 million. Total integration plan charges against the assumed liability were $94 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $243 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. A total of $109 million of the liability was reversed to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2008 related to underspending on a number of projects that were concluded during the period. We expect such activities to be substantially complete by June 30, 2008.

8.   New Accounting Standards
 
    On July 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the accounting and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The difference between the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a position in accordance with FIN 48 and the tax benefit claimed in the tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit.
 
    The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a decrease to retained earnings as of July 1, 2007 of $232 million, which was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, with a corresponding increase to the net liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The impact primarily reflects the accrual of additional statutory interest and penalties as required by FIN 48, partially offset by adjustments to existing unrecognized tax benefits to comply with FIN 48 measurement principles. The implementation of FIN 48 also resulted in a reduction in our net tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions related to prior acquisitions accounted for under purchase accounting, resulting in an $80 million decrease to goodwill. Additionally, the Company historically classified unrecognized tax benefits in current taxes payable. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, unrecognized tax benefits not expected to be paid in the next 12 months were reclassified to other non-current liabilities.
 
    The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at July 1, 2007 was $2,971 million, excluding any related accruals for interest and penalties. Included in this total was $1,893 million that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate in future periods. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties as of July 1, 2007 were $589 million and $128 million, respectively, on an after tax basis.
 
    P&G is present in over 140 taxable jurisdictions, and at any point in time, has 30-40 audits underway at various stages of completion. We have tax years open ranging from 1997 and forward. P&G has made a concerted effort to bring its audit inventory to a more current position. We have done this by working with tax authorities to conduct audits for several open years at once. While we may be able to estimate the timing of the resolution we are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts until the close of the audit. Based on information currently available we anticipate that over the next 12 month period net audit activity could favorably impact earnings by a range of up to $150 million to $250 million. On an ongoing basis, adjustments will be made to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits to reflect the impact of audit developments, tax law changes, statute expirations, as well as for the accrual of additional current year tax exposures and for interest and penalties on existing liabilities.
 
    The unrecognized tax benefits described above will be included in the Company’s annual Form 10-K contractual obligations table to the extent the Company is able to make reliable estimates of the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities. If not, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will be disclosed in a footnote to the contractual obligations table. At this time, the Company can not make a reliable estimate as to the timing of cash settlements.
 
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R) and SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160). SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 revise the method of accounting for a number of aspects of business combinations and non-controlling interests, including acquisition costs, contingencies (including contingent assets, contingent liabilities and contingent purchase price), the impacts of partial and

    step-acquisitions (including the valuation of net assets attributable to non-acquired minority interests), and post acquisition exit activities of acquired businesses. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 will be effective for the company during our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009.
   
    In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of 1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; 2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and 3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 161 to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
    No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The purpose of this discussion is to provide an understanding of P&G’s financial results and condition by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is organized in the following sections:
    Overview
 
    Summary of Results
 
    Forward-Looking Statements
 
    Results of Operations — Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
 
    Results of Operations — Nine months Ended March 31, 2008
 
    Business Segment Discussion — Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008
 
    Financial Condition
 
    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Throughout MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including unit volume growth, net outside sales and after-tax profit. We also refer to financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales growth, free cash flow and free cash flow productivity. The explanation of these measures at the end of MD&A provides more details on the use and the derivation of these measures. Management also uses certain market share and market consumption estimates to evaluate performance relative to competition despite some limitations on the availability and comparability of market share information. References to market share and market consumption in MD&A are based on a combination of vendor-reported consumption and market size data, as well as internal estimates.
OVERVIEW
P&G’s business is focused on providing branded consumer goods products. Our goal is to provide products of superior quality and value to improve the lives of the world’s consumers. We believe this will result in leadership sales, profits and value creation, allowing employees, shareholders and the communities in which we operate to prosper.
Our products are sold in more than 180 countries primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores and drug stores. We have also expanded our presence in “high frequency stores,” the neighborhood stores which serve many consumers in developing markets. We compete in multiple product categories and have three global business units (GBUs): Beauty; Health and Well-Being; and Household Care. Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the business units comprising the GBUs are aggregated into six reportable segments: Beauty; Grooming; Health Care; Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care; Fabric Care and Home Care; and Baby Care and Family Care. We have on-the-ground operations in over 80 countries through our Market Development Organization, which leads country business teams to build our brands in local markets and is organized along seven geographic areas comprised of three developed regions (North America, Western Europe and Northeast Asia) and four developing regions (Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa, Greater China and ASEAN/Australasia/India).

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Following are highlights of results for the nine months ended March 31, 2008:
    Net sales grew nine percent to $62.2 billion. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, increased five percent.
 
    Unit volume increased five percent and organic volume, which excludes acquisitions and divestitures, grew six percent. Every reportable segment posted year-on-year volume growth and each geographic region delivered year-on-year organic volume growth.
 
    Net earnings increased 12 percent to $9.1 billion. Net earnings increased behind higher operating profit, a lower tax rate and favorable foreign exchange.
 
    Diluted net earnings per share were $2.72, an increase of 15 percent versus the comparable prior year period.
 
    Operating cash flow was $11.7 billion, an increase of 19 percent versus the prior year period. Free cash flow productivity was 109 percent for the fiscal year to date period. Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of operating cash flow less capital expenditures to net earnings.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We discuss expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes, such as our business outlook and objectives, in annual and quarterly reports, press releases and other written and oral communications. All such statements, except for historical and present factual information, are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on financial data and our business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out-of-date or incomplete. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or other factors. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could be significantly different from our expectations.
Ability to Achieve Business Plans. We are a consumer products company and rely on continued demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers and retail trade customers. Our continued success is dependent on leading-edge innovation with respect to both products and operations and on the continued positive reputations of our brands. This means we must be able to obtain patents and respond to technological advances and patents granted to competition. Our success is also dependent on effective sales, advertising and marketing programs in an increasingly fragmented media environment. Our ability to innovate and execute in these areas will determine the extent to which we are able to grow existing net sales and volume profitably, especially with respect to the product categories and geographic markets (including developing markets) in which we have chosen to focus. There are high levels of competitive activity in the environments in which we operate. To address these challenges, we must respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives and trade terms. We must manage each of these factors, as well as maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, in order to effectively compete and achieve our business plans. Since our goals include a growth component which can be affected by acquisitions and divestitures, we must manage and integrate key company transactions, such as the Gillette and Wella acquisitions, including achieving the cost and growth synergies for those transactions in accordance with stated goals, and the successful separation of the Company’s coffee business while continuing to deliver the Company’s goals.
Cost Pressures. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, cost of labor, foreign exchange and interest rates. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions and certain hedging transactions. We also must manage our debt and currency exposure, especially in volatile countries. We need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements. We must implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including our outsourcing projects and those related to general overhead and workforce rationalization.
Global Economic Conditions. Economic changes, terrorist activity and political unrest may result in business interruption, inflation, deflation or decreased demand for our products. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage continued global political and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographic markets, as well as any political or economic disruption due to terrorist and other hostile activities.
Regulatory Environment. Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business. This includes changes in environmental, competitive and product-related laws, as well as changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements. Accordingly, our ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters (including product liability, patent and intellectual property matters, as well as those related to the integration of Gillette and its subsidiaries) and to resolve pending matters within current estimates may impact our results.

Net sales increased nine percent for the quarter to $20.5 billion. Volume was up four percent, including a negative one percent impact from the divestiture of our Western European family care business. Price increases, taken primarily to offset higher commodity costs, contributed one percent to net sales growth. These were partially offset by a negative one percent mix impact resulting from disproportionate double-digit volume growth in developing regions, where average selling price is below the company average. Favorable foreign exchange added five percent to net sales. Every reportable segment, except Beauty, posted mid-single digit or higher organic volume growth. Volume grew primarily behind initiative activity on our key brands and continued developing region expansion. The Company delivered high-single digit or higher volume growth on Always, Ariel, Dolce & Gabbana, Febreze, Fusion, Gain, Head & Shoulders, Naturella, Pampers, Pringles, Rejoice, Venus and Vicks for the quarter, partially offset by declines on Braun, Folgers and Mach3. Organic volume and sales were both up five percent for the quarter.

Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative formulas that are consistently applied.
Gross margin was down 30-basis points for the quarter to 51.3% of net sales. Commodity and energy cost increases had a negative impact on gross margin of over 220-basis points. These were largely offset by scale leverage from volume growth, pricing and cost savings projects resulting from manufacturing efficiency improvements and product reformulations. The year over year gross margin change was also impacted by a number of base period charges, including net charges related to the integration of Gillette, supply chain restructuring projects and the impacts of the pet food recall, that reduced the base period gross margin approximately 50-basis points.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased six percent to $6.4 billion. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was down 80-basis points as a result of lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales. Total overhead spending increased, but was down as a percentage of net sales for the total Company and in each reportable segment primarily due to scale leverage, a focus on overhead productivity and Gillette synergy savings. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales was in-line with the prior year period.
Interest expense for the quarter was up $85 million versus the year-ago period due to a higher debt level and a higher interest rate driven by the geographic mix of our short-term borrowings. Other non-operating income decreased $159 million versus the prior year period primarily due to lower current period interest income and base period gains on the sale of minor beauty and feminine care brands. Interest income declined primarily due to lower interest rates.
Net earnings increased eight percent for the quarter to $2.7 billion behind a 13 percent increase in operating profit and a lower tax rate, partially offset by lower other non-operating income. Our effective tax rate was down 110-basis points primarily due to a more favorable geographic mix of earnings. There is a possibility of favorable tax audit activity in the April - June quarter that could impact the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year effective tax rate. However, given the uncertainty around such items, we cannot quantify the potential impact at this time. Diluted net earnings per share were up 11 percent to $0.82. Diluted net earnings per share growth exceeded net earnings growth due to share repurchase activity. We repurchased $2.6 billion of treasury shares during the quarter under a previously announced share buyback program that started in July 2007.

Net sales for the fiscal year to date period were up nine percent to $62.2 billion behind five percent volume growth and a favorable five percent foreign exchange impact. This was partially offset by a negative one percent mix impact primarily due to disproportionate double-digit growth in developing regions. Volume growth was broad-based across segments and geographic regions. Each reportable segment posted year-on-year volume growth and each geographic region delivered year-on-year organic volume growth for the fiscal year to date period. Volume grew primarily behind initiative activity on key brands and continued expansion in developing regions. A number of the company’s key brands, including Always, Ariel, Dolce & Gabbana, Downy, Febreze, Fusion, Gain, Head & Shoulders, Hugo Boss, Naturella, Pampers, Pringles, Oral-B, Tide and Venus, posted high-single digit or higher volume growth to offset declines on Actonel, Braun, Iams and Mach3. Organic sales increased five percent for the fiscal year to date period behind six percent organic volume growth.

Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative formulas that are consistently applied.
Gross margin was down 40-basis points fiscal year to date to 52.0% of net sales. Commodity and energy cost increases had a negative impact on gross margin of over 150-basis points. These were largely offset by scale leverage from volume growth and cost savings projects resulting from manufacturing efficiency improvements and product reformulations.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased six percent to $19.1 billion for the fiscal year to date period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was down 70-basis points primarily behind lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by higher marketing spending as a percentage of net sales. Total overhead spending increased, but was down as a percentage of net sales for the total Company and for each reportable segment primarily due to scale leverage, a focus on overhead productivity and Gillette synergy savings.
Interest expense for the fiscal year to date period was up $136 million versus the year-ago period due to a higher interest rate driven by the geographic mix of our short-term borrowings. Other non-operating income was down $34 million primarily due to lower interest income, which more than offset higher current period divestiture gains. Current year gains included a gain on the sale of our Western Europe family care business and our Japanese adult incontinence business. The base period included gains on the sale of Pert in North America, Sure and minor beauty and feminine care businesses.
Net earnings increased 12 percent to $9.1 billion behind higher operating profit, a lower tax rate and favorable foreign exchange. Our tax rate declined from 29.8% to 27.7% due to a one-time tax benefit resulting from a reduction in the German statutory tax rate, which reduced our deferred tax liabilities related to acquired intangible assets, the favorable settlement of tax audits and a more favorable geographic mix of earnings. Diluted net earnings per share were up 15 percent versus the prior year to $2.72 per share. Diluted net earnings per share growth exceeded net earnings growth due to share repurchase activity. We repurchased $8.0 billion of treasury shares during the fiscal year to date period under a previously announced share buyback program that started in July 2007.

BEAUTY GBU
Beauty
Beauty net sales increased nine percent for the quarter to $4.7 billion. Net sales were up on three percent volume growth and a six percent favorable foreign exchange impact. Volume was up mid-single digits in both hair color, behind the Nice ‘N Easy Perfect 10 launch, and in cosmetics, behind the Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara initiative. Retail hair care volume was also up mid-single digits as high-teens growth on Head & Shoulders, double-digit growth on Rejoice and high-single digit growth on Pantene outside of North America more than offset an 11 percent decline on Pantene in North America. Prestige fragrances volume was up low-single digits and organic volume was up mid-single digits as a result of new product launches on Gucci, Hugo Boss and Dolce & Gabbana. Skin care volume was flat versus a base period that grew double-digits behind initiative pipeline volume builds in developing regions and mid-teens growth in North America. Professional hair care volume was in-line with the prior year period as mid-single digit growth in developing regions was offset by a low-single digit decline in developed regions. Volume in deodorants was down low-single digits

due to a double-digit decline in Western Europe resulting primarily from market softness. Net earnings in Beauty declined two percent to $589 million. Net earnings margin was down 140-basis points as lower gross margin and the impact of base period minor brand divestiture gains more than offset lower SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin declined due to higher commodity costs, which more than offset benefits from volume scale leverage and cost savings projects. SG&A improved as a percentage of net sales as lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales more than offset increased marketing spending as a percentage of net sales.
Beauty net sales increased eight percent fiscal year to date to $14.5 billion. Net sales increased behind three percent volume growth and five points of favorable foreign exchange. Product mix was neutral as the favorable impacts of disproportionate growth in prestige fragrances and the launch of premium-priced clinical strength deodorants were offset by the impact of disproportionate growth in developing regions, where selling prices are below the segment average. Skin care volume was up mid-single digits driven by growth on Olay behind the Definity and Regenerist initiatives. Prestige fragrances volume was up mid-single digits and organic volume was up high-single digits behind new product launches on Dolce & Gabbana and Hugo Boss. Retail hair care volume was up mid-single digits, led by high-single digit growth in developing markets. Retail hair care volume in developed regions was flat as a 20% volume increase on Head & Shoulders was offset by a double-digit volume decline on Pantene in North America. Hair color volume increased low-single digits as growth on Nice ‘N Easy behind the Perfect 10 launch more than offset declines on minor color brands. Volume in deodorants was down mid-single digits primarily due to competitive activity and market softness in Western Europe. Net earnings in Beauty increased six percent to $2.2 billion. Net earnings margin was down 40-basis points as lower gross margin and base period divestiture gains on minor brands more than offset improved SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin was down due to higher commodity costs, which more than offset volume scale leverage and cost savings projects. SG&A improved behind lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales, which more than offset higher marketing spending as a percent of net sales.
Grooming
Grooming net sales increased 13 percent for the quarter to $2.0 billion behind six percent volume growth and a seven percent favorable foreign exchange impact. Price increases taken across premium shaving systems added two percent to net sales. Product mix had a negative two percent mix impact on net sales as the positive mix impact from growth on the premium-priced Fusion brand was more than offset by disproportionate growth in developing regions, where selling prices are below the segment average. Blades and razors volume was up high-single digits behind double-digit volume growth in developing regions on the expansion of Fusion and the launch of Venus Embrace in North America. These gains were partially offset by a mid-single digit volume decline in Western Europe, due primarily to base period pipeline volume related to the Fusion launch in several Western European markets, and lower Mach3 shipments resulting from the business’ trade-up strategy to the Fusion line. Braun volume was down mid-single digits globally. High-single digit volume growth in developing regions was more than offset by overall softness in Western Europe, lower volume in home appliances resulting primarily from supply constraints at our contract manufacturer and the previously announced exit of the U.S. home appliance business. Net earnings in Grooming were up 30 percent for the quarter to $403 million behind higher net sales and a 270-basis point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin was up primarily behind lower overhead expenses as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin was up slightly as benefits of volume scale leverage, pricing and a more profitable product mix were largely offset by higher costs incurred at our contract manufacturer on the Braun home appliance business.
Grooming net sales increased 11 percent to $6.2 billion fiscal year to date. Net sales were up behind six percent volume growth, a seven percent favorable foreign exchange impact and a one percent positive pricing impact. Product mix had a negative three percent impact on net sales as positive product mix from growth on the premium-priced Fusion brand was more than offset by the impact of disproportionate growth in developing regions. Blades and razors volume increased high-single digits behind volume growth of over 20% in

developing regions driven primarily by Fusion expansion. In developed regions, blades and razors volume was down low-single digits due to a base period that included significant pipeline shipments related to the Fusion launch in Western Europe and Japan and lower current period Mach3 shipments resulting from the business’ trade-up strategy to the Fusion line. Braun volume was down mid-single digits fiscal year to date primarily due to lower home appliance shipments resulting from supply constraints at our contract manufacturer, the previously announced exit of the home appliance business in the U.S. and the divestiture of thermometer and blood pressure devices. Net earnings in Grooming were up 19% fiscal year to date to $1.3 billion behind net sales growth and a 150-basis point earnings margin expansion. Earnings margin improved behind lower SG&A as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a reduction in gross margin. Gross margin declined due to higher costs incurred at our contract manufacturer on the Braun home appliance business, which more than offset higher pricing, benefits from volume scale leverage and a more profitable product mix. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was down due to lower overhead spending, partially offset by higher marketing spending as a percentage of net sales.
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING GBU
Health Care
Health Care net sales were up 11 percent for the quarter to $3.7 billion. Net sales growth was driven by a six percent increase in volume and a six percent favorable foreign exchange impact. Disproportionate growth in feminine care in developing regions, where selling prices are below the segment average, drove a negative one percent mix impact. Feminine care volume was up high-single digits behind double-digit growth on Naturella and high-single digit growth on Always, partially offset by a low-single digit decline on Tampax. Oral care volume increased mid-single digits with both Crest and Oral-B posting mid-single digit growth. Volume in pharmaceuticals and personal health was up mid-single digits as the addition of the Swiss Precision Diagnostics joint venture and high-single digit growth on Vicks, driven by high cold and flu incidence in North America during the quarter, more than offset low-single digit volume growth in pharmaceuticals and on Prilosec OTC. Prilosec OTC volume is expected to decline significantly starting in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the recent loss of marketplace exclusivity and the entry of competing products into the market. This is expected to have an adverse effect on the results of the Health Care segment in future periods. Net earnings in Health Care were up 15 percent to $617 million. Net earnings margin was up 60-basis points primarily due to lower overhead expenses as a percent of net sales, which more than offset lower gross margin. Gross margin was down due to higher commodity costs and a less profitable product mix, primarily from disproportionate growth in developing regions in feminine care and oral care (which have lower gross margin than the segment average).
Health Care net sales increased nine percent fiscal year to date to $11.0 billion behind a five percent increase in volume. Foreign exchange had a positive five percent impact on net sales. Disproportionate growth in developing regions on feminine care and oral care resulted in a negative one percent mix impact. Feminine care volume increased mid-single digits and organic volume was up high-single digits behind double-digit growth on Naturella and high-single digit growth on Always, which more than offset a low-single digit decline on Tampax. Oral care volume was up mid-single digits behind initiative-driven growth on Oral-B toothbrushes and Crest. Volume in pharmaceuticals and personal health was up low-single digits as the impact of adding the Swiss Precision Diagnostics business and mid-single digit growth on Prilosec OTC was largely offset by lower shipments on Actonel. Prilosec OTC volume is expected to decline significantly starting in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the recent loss of marketplace exclusivity and the entry of competing products into the market. This is expected to have an adverse effect on the results of the Health Care segment in future periods. Net earnings in Health Care were up 11 percent to $2.0 billion behind net sales growth and a 30-basis point improvement in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased as reduced SG&A as a percentage of net sales more than offset lower gross margin. Gross margin was down as higher commodity costs and a less profitable mix primarily from disproportionate growth in developing regions in feminine care and oral care more than offset volume scale leverage. SG&A improved primarily behind lower overhead spending as a

percentage of net sales.
Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care
Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care net sales increased 11 percent for the quarter to $1.2 billion on four percent volume growth. Increased pricing in coffee and pet care added five percent to net sales. Favorable foreign exchange added three percent, partially offset by a negative one percent product mix impact from disproportionate growth in Snacks. Snacks volume increased double-digits driven by the Pringles Rice Infusion and Pringles Extreme Flavors initiatives. Coffee volume was up low-single digits behind the Dunkin’ Donuts® license agreement, which was not in the prior year period. Pet care volume was down low-single digits due to continued negative impacts from the voluntary wet pet food recall in the U.S. in March 2007. Net earnings in Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care were $105 million, down nine percent due to the receipt in the base period of a Hurricane Katrina insurance payment. Net earnings margin was down 200-basis points due to lower gross margin and an increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin was down as higher commodity costs more than offset higher pricing and base period impacts related to the pet care recall. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased significantly, despite lower current period overhead spending as a percentage of net sales, due to the Hurricane Katrina insurance receipt in the base period.
Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care net sales increased seven percent to $3.6 billion fiscal year to date. Net sales grew behind a two percent volume increase, a positive two percent price impact resulting from price increases in coffee and pet care and a three percent favorable foreign exchange impact. Snacks volume was up high-single digits behind the launch of Rice Infusion in Western Europe, Extreme Flavors in North America and continued growth on Pringles Minis and Selects. Coffee volume increased low-single digits primarily behind the Dunkin’ Donuts® license agreement. In pet care, volume was down mid-single digits due to continued negative impacts from the voluntary wet pet food recall in the U.S. in March 2007. Net earnings in Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care were down two percent to $345 million. Net earnings margin was down 90-basis points as lower gross margin was partially offset by improved SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin was down as higher commodity costs more than offset price increases and base period pet recall impacts. SG&A decreased as a percentage of net sales due to lower overhead and marketing spending as a percentage of net sales. Hurricane Katrina insurance payments were received in both the current and the base period and, therefore, had minimal impact on the segment’s year-on-year net earnings growth rate.
In January 2008, P&G announced plans to separate its coffee business and create an independent company. The coffee business had net sales of approximately $1.6 billion and operating income of about $350 million in fiscal 2007. Although no decision has been made on the form of the separation, P&G expects to do a spin-off or split-off transaction in the first half of fiscal 2009.
HOUSEHOLD CARE GBU
Fabric Care and Home Care
Fabric Care and Home Care net sales increased 10 percent to $5.8 billion for the quarter on six percent volume growth. Favorable foreign exchange added five percent to net sales, but was partially offset by a negative one percent mix impact resulting from disproportionate growth in developing regions and on large pack sizes in fabric care, both of which have selling prices below the segment average. Fabric care volume was up high-single digits behind double-digit developing region growth and initiative activity on Ariel, Downy, Gain and Tide, including continued growth behind the liquid laundry detergent compaction expansion in North America. Home care volume was up mid-single digits behind growth on Febreze Candles, the expansion of Fairy auto-dishwashing in Western Europe and high-single digit growth on Cascade resulting from high levels of customer orders in advance of a March price increase. Batteries volume was up mid-single digits as high-single digit growth in developing regions more than offset a mid-single digit decline in North America resulting from market softness. Net earnings in Fabric Care and Home Care increased 12 percent to $781 million. Net

earnings margin was up 20-basis points behind a lower tax rate resulting from disproportionate growth in developing regions, where tax rates are below the segment average. Lower SG&A as a percentage of net sales offset lower gross margin. Gross margin was down due to higher commodity costs, which more than offset the benefits of volume scale leverage and cost savings projects. SG&A as percentage of net sales improved due to lower overhead expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Fabric Care and Home Care net sales increased 10 percent to $17.7 billion fiscal year to date. Volume was up seven percent and favorable foreign exchange added five percent to net sales growth. This was partially offset by a negative two percent mix impact primarily from disproportionate double-digit growth in developing regions and on large pack sizes in fabric care. Fabric care volume increased high-single digits behind double-digit growth in developing regions, the liquid laundry detergent compaction launch in North America and initiative activity on Tide, Gain, Ariel and Downy. Home care volume was up mid-single digits behind the Dawn restage in North America, the launch of Febreze Candles and continued expansion of auto-dishwashing products in Western Europe. Batteries volume was up high-single digits behind double-digit growth in developing regions and mid-single digit growth in North America. Net earnings in Fabric Care and Home Care increased nine percent to $2.6 billion. Earnings margin was down 20-basis points primarily due to lower gross margin, partially offset by a reduction in SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin was down due to higher commodity costs, which more than offset benefits from volume scale leverage and manufacturing cost savings projects. SG&A improved as a percentage of net sales as lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales more than offset higher marketing spending as a percentage of net sales.
Baby Care and Family Care
Baby Care and Family Care net sales increased eight percent to $3.5 billion for the quarter. Volume was up one percent, including the impact of the Western European Family Care divestiture in October 2007. Price increases in both Baby Care and Family Care and favorable product mix each contributed one percent to net sales and favorable foreign exchange added five percent. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of the Western European family care divestiture and foreign exchange, were up eight percent behind a seven percent increase in organic volume. Baby care volume was up high-single digits behind double-digit growth in developing regions on Pampers and continued growth on Baby Dry and Swaddlers in developed regions. Family care volume was down mid-single digits due to the divestiture of the Western European family care business but was up high-single digits on an organic basis behind growth on both Charmin and Bounty. Net earnings in Baby Care and Family Care were up 23 percent to $471 million. Net earnings margin was up 170-basis point behind higher gross margin and improved SG&A costs. Gross margin was up behind a more profitable product mix following the Western Europe family care divestiture, volume scale leverage, increased pricing and cost savings projects, which more than offset higher commodity and energy costs. SG&A improved as a percentage of net sales due to lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales and the receipt of payments for transitional services performed by P&G for the divested Western European family care business, partially offset by higher marketing spending as a percentage of net sales.
Baby Care and Family Care net sales increased nine percent fiscal year to date to $10.3 billion. Volume was up four percent, including the impact of the Western European family care divestiture. Foreign exchange had a positive five percent impact in net sales. Organic volume and organic sales, which exclude the impacts of the Western European family care divestiture and foreign exchange, both grew eight percent. Organic volume growth was balanced across the segment with high-single digit growth in both baby care and family care. Baby care volume in developed regions was up mid-single digits behind growth on Pampers Baby Stages of Development and on the Baby Dry caterpillar flex initiative. In developing regions, baby care volume was up double-digits behind continued growth on Pampers. Family care volume was down low-single digits due to the divestiture of the Western European family care business. Family care organic volume was up high-single digits behind the Bounty and Charmin product restages. Net earnings in Baby Care and Family Care were up 19 percent to $1.3 billion. Net earnings margin improved 110-basis points behind higher gross margin and

lower SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin was up as a more profitable product mix following the Western Europe family care divestiture, volume scale leverage and cost savings projects more than offset higher commodity and energy costs. SG&A improved as a percentage of net sales due to lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales and the receipt of payments for transitional services performed by P&G for the divested Western European family care business.
CORPORATE

These include: the incidental businesses managed at the corporate level, financing and investing activities, certain restructuring charges, other general corporate items and the historical results of certain divested brands and categories, including certain Gillette brands that were divested as required by the regulatory authorities in relation to the Gillette acquisition. Corporate also includes reconciling items to adjust the accounting policies used in the segments to U.S. GAAP. The most significant reconciling items include income taxes (to adjust from statutory rates that are reflected in the segments to the overall Company effective tax rate), adjustments for unconsolidated entities (to eliminate sales, cost of products sold and SG&A for entities that are consolidated in the segments but accounted for using the equity method for U.S. GAAP) and minority interest adjustments for subsidiaries where we do not have 100% ownership. Since both unconsolidated entities and less than 100% owned subsidiaries are managed as integral parts of the Company, they are accounted for similar to a wholly owned subsidiary for management and segment purposes. This means our segment results recognize 100% of each income statement component through before-tax earnings in the segments, with eliminations for unconsolidated entities in Corporate. In determining segment net earnings, we apply the statutory tax rates (with adjustments to arrive at the Company’s effective tax rate in Corporate) and eliminate the share of earnings applicable to other ownership interests, in a manner similar to minority interest.
Net earnings in Corporate decreased $121 million for the quarter primarily due to higher interest expense, lower interest income and base period divestiture gains. Fiscal year to date, net earnings in Corporate increased $43 million versus the year-ago period. The increase was driven primarily by a lower tax rate partially offset by higher interest expense. Our fiscal year to date tax rate was down 210-basis points primarily due to a one-time tax benefit in the first quarter resulting from a change in the statutory tax rate in Germany and the favorable settlement of tax audits.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Operating Activities
Cash generated from operating activities for the fiscal year to date period was $11.7 billion, an increase of 19 percent versus the comparable prior year period. Operating cash flow, and the increase in operating cash flow versus the prior year period, resulted primarily from increased net earnings and non-cash charges (depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and deferred income tax expense). Working capital balances increased, resulting in a net use of cash, primarily to support business growth. Inventory days increased 10 days during the fiscal year to date period due to foreign exchange, softer than expected shipments in Beauty and higher inventory in fabric care to support the liquid laundry detergent compaction expansion in North America. Accounts payable days were down six days during the fiscal year to date period, but increased six days versus the comparable prior-year period largely due to foreign exchange. Accounts receivable days were down one day during the fiscal year to date period due to Gillette integration benefits, which more than offset foreign exchange impacts. Operating cash flow also benefitted from an income tax benefit associated with net investment hedges that matured or were terminated in the current period.
Investing Activities
Investing activities in both the current and prior fiscal year to date periods used $1.2 billion in cash. Capital expenditures in the current fiscal year to date period were $1.9 billion, or 3.0 percent of net sales. Proceeds

from asset sales in the current period generated $759 million in cash primarily from the sale of our Western European family care business and our adult incontinence business in Japan.
Financing Activities
Total cash used by financing activities was $12.5 billion this fiscal year to date, versus $11.5 billion in the comparable prior year period. We repurchased $8.0 billion of treasury shares under a previously announced share buyback program that started in July 2007. Net changes in the Company’s short and long-term debt balances due to borrowings, maturities and other payments used $2.5 billion of cash during the fiscal year, primarily due to the maturity and termination of instruments designated as net investment hedges. In the prior year period, we repurchased $4.1 billion of treasury shares and reduced our debt position by $5.6 billion.
As of March 31, 2008 the Company’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by $5.5 billion, driven by our short-term debt position. The Company anticipates being able to support its short-term liquidity through cash generated from operations. The Company also has very strong long- and short-term debt ratings which will enable it to continue to refinance this debt at favorable rates in commercial paper and bond markets. In addition, the Company has agreements with a diverse group of creditworthy financial institutions that, if needed, would provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Our discussion of financial results includes several measures not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about the underlying results and trends of the Company, as well as insight to some of the metrics used to evaluate management. When used in MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion.
Organic Sales Growth. Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of net sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment. Free cash flow is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.
Free Cash Flow Productivity. Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. The Company’s long-term target is to generate free cash at or above 90 percent of net earnings. Free cash flow is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management. The reconciliation of free cash flow and free cash flow productivity is provided below (amounts in millions):

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, A. G. Lafley, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Clayton C.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE 2001 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
(as adjusted for stock split on May 21, 2004 and amended on October 10, 2006)
ARTICLE A — Purpose.
     The purposes of The Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) are to strengthen the alignment of interests between those employees of The Procter & Gamble Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries who are largely responsible for the success of the business (the “Participants”) and the Company’s shareholders through ownership behavior and the increased ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), and to encourage the Participants to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries. This will be accomplished through the granting of options to purchase shares of Common Stock, the granting of performance related awards, the payment of a portion of the Participants’ remuneration in shares of Common Stock, the granting of deferred awards related to the increase in the price of Common Stock, and the granting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or other awards that are related to the price of Common Stock.
ARTICLE B — Administration.
     1. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), or such other committee as may be designated by the Board. The Committee shall consist of not fewer than three (3) members of the Board who are “Non-Employee Directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), or any successor rule or definition adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to be appointed by the Board from time to time and to serve at the discretion of the Board. The Committee may establish such regulations, provisions, and procedures within the terms of the Plan as, in its opinion, may be advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan, and may designate the Secretary of the Company or other employees of the Company to assist the Committee in the administration and operation of the Plan and may grant authority to such persons to execute documents on behalf of the Committee. The Committee shall report to the Board on the administration of the Plan not less than once each year.
     2. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority: to grant nonstatutory and incentive stock options; to grant stock appreciation rights either freestanding or in tandem with simultaneously granted stock options; to grant Performance Awards (as defined in Article J); to award a portion of a Participant’s remuneration in shares of Common Stock subject to such conditions or restrictions, if any, as the Committee may determine; to award RSUs or other awards that are related to the price of Common Stock; to determine all the terms and provisions of the respective stock option, stock appreciation right, stock award, RSU, or other award agreements including setting the dates when each stock option or stock appreciation right or part thereof may be exercised and determining the conditions and restrictions, if any, of any shares of Common Stock acquired through the exercise of any stock option; to provide for special terms for any stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, RSUs or other awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries outside of the United States of America in order to fairly accommodate for differences in local law, tax policy or custom and to approve such supplements to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of the Plan as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes (without affecting the terms of the Plan for any other purpose); and to make all other determinations it deems necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. In addition, at the time of grant the Committee shall have the further authority to:
  (a)   waive the provisions of Article F, Paragraph 1(a);

 


 

  (b)   waive the provisions of Article F, Paragraph 1(b);
 
  (c)   waive the provisions of Article G, Paragraph 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c); and
 
  (d)   impose conditions in lieu of those set forth in Article G, Paragraphs 4 through 7, for nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, RSUs, or Performance Awards which do not increase or extend the rights of the Participant.
ARTICLE C — Participation.
     The Committee shall select as Participants those employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who, in the opinion of the Committee, have demonstrated a capacity for contributing in a substantial manner to the success of such companies.
ARTICLE D — Limitation on Number of Shares Available Under the Plan.
     1. Unless otherwise authorized by the shareholders and subject to Paragraph 2 of this Article D, the maximum aggregate number of shares available for award under the Plan shall be one hundred ninety million (190,000,000) shares. Any of the authorized shares may be used for any of the types of awards described in the Plan, except that no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the authorized shares may be awarded as restricted or unrestricted stock.
     2. In addition to the shares authorized for award by Paragraph 1 of this Article, the following shares may be awarded under the Plan:
          (a) shares that were authorized to be awarded under The Procter & Gamble 1992 Stock Plan (the “1992 Plan”), but that were not awarded under the 1992 Plan;
          (b) shares awarded under the Plan or the 1992 Plan that are subsequently forfeited in accordance with the Plan or the 1992 Plan, respectively;
          (c) shares tendered by a Participant in payment of all or part of the exercise price of a stock option awarded under the Plan or the 1992 Plan;
          (d) shares tendered by or withheld from a Participant in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations with respect to a stock option awarded under the Plan or the 1992 Plan.
ARTICLE E — Shares Subject to Use Under the Plan.
     1. The shares to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights shall be determined by the Board and may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. In the case of redemption of stock appreciation rights by one of the Company’s subsidiaries, such shares shall be shares acquired by that subsidiary.
     2. For purposes of the Plan, restricted or unrestricted stock awarded or issued following redemption of RSUs under the terms of the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares acquired in the open market by the Company or a subsidiary, as determined by the Board.

 


 

ARTICLE F — Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
     1. In addition to such other conditions as may be established by the Committee, in consideration of the granting of stock options or stock appreciation rights under the terms of the Plan, each Participant agrees as follows:
  (a)   The right to exercise any stock option or stock appreciation right shall be conditional upon certification by the Participant at time of exercise that the Participant intends to remain in the employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries for at least one (1) year following the date of the exercise of the stock option or stock appreciation right (provided that termination of employment due to Retirement or Special Separation shall not constitute a breach of such certification), and,
 
  (b)   In order to better protect the goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries and to prevent the disclosure of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ trade secrets and confidential information and thereby help insure the long-term success of the business, the Participant, without prior written consent of the Company, will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, adviser, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company, in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of the Company or its subsidiaries (including both existing products as well as products known to the Participant, as a consequence of the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries, to be in development):
  (1)   with respect to which the Participant’s work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding termination of employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
 
  (2)   with respect to which during that period of time the Participant, as a consequence of the Participant’s job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of the Company or its subsidiaries.
      For purposes of this paragraph, it shall be conclusively presumed that Participants have knowledge of information they were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memos or documents containing such information, or through actual attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
 
  (c)   The provisions of this Article are not in lieu of, but are in addition to the continuing obligation of the Participant (which Participant hereby acknowledges) to not use or disclose the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ trade secrets and confidential information known to the Participant until any particular trade secret or confidential information become generally known (through no fault of the Participant), whereupon the restriction on use and disclosure shall cease as to that item. Information regarding products in development, in test marketing or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information the Company or one of its subsidiaries is considering for broader use, shall not be deemed generally known until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Article, “generally known” means known throughout the domestic U. S. industry or, in the case of Participants who have job responsibilities outside of the United States, the appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry. As used in this Article, “trade secrets and other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of the Company or its subsidiaries gained in the course of Participant’s

 


 

      employment with the Company or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords the Participant a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with the Company or that subsidiary.
 
  (d)   By acceptance of any offered stock option or stock appreciation rights granted under the terms of the Plan, the Participant acknowledges that if the Participant were, without authority, to use or disclose the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, the Company or one of its subsidiaries would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent the Participant from doing so. The Participant acknowledges that the harm caused to the Company by the breach or anticipated breach of this Article is by its nature irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. The Participant consents that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction shall, at the request of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over the Participant, without prejudice to any rights either party may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
 
  (e)   If any of the provisions contained in this Article F shall for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after the Participant’s acceptance of an offer of the granting of stock appreciation rights or stock options, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, the Participant agrees to join the Company or any of its subsidiaries in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law. If any one or more of the terms, provisions, covenants, or restrictions of this Article shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions of this Article shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated.
     2. The fact that a Participant has been granted a stock option or a stock appreciation right under the Plan shall not limit the right of the employer to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time.
          Because a main purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the alignment of interests between employees of the Company (including all subsidiaries) and its shareholders to ensure the continued success of the Company, the Committee is authorized to suspend or terminate any outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right of a Participant if the Committee determines the Participant has acted significantly contrary to the best interests of the Company or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of the Company or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation 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. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy the Company or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
     3. The maximum number of shares with respect to which stock options or stock appreciation rights may be granted to any Participant in any calendar year shall not exceed 2,000,000 shares.

 


 

     4. The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time when the incentive stock option is exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year) of the shares for which any Participant may be granted incentive stock options under the Plan and all other stock option plans of the Company and its subsidiaries in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other amount as reflected in the limits imposed by Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time).
     5. If the Committee grants incentive stock options, all such stock options shall contain such provisions as permit them to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as may be amended from time to time.
     6. With respect to stock options granted in tandem with stock appreciation rights, the exercise of either such stock options or such stock appreciation rights will result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem stock appreciation rights or stock options, as the case may be.
     7. The exercise price for all stock options and stock appreciation rights shall be established by the Committee at the time of their grant and shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
     8. Unless otherwise authorized by the shareholders of the Company, neither the Board nor the Committee shall authorize the amendment of any outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right to reduce the exercise price.
     9. No stock option or stock appreciation right shall be cancelled and replaced with awards having a lower exercise price without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company. This Article F, Paragraph 9 is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” stock options and stock appreciation rights and shall not be construed to prohibit the adjustments permitted under Article K of the Plan.
     10. The Committee may require any Participant to accept any stock options or stock appreciation rights by means of electronic signature.
ARTICLE G — Exercise of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
     1. All stock options and stock appreciation rights granted hereunder shall have a maximum life of no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
     2. No stock options or stock appreciation rights shall be exercisable within one (1) year from their date of grant, except in the case of the death of the Participant.
     3. Unless a transfer has been duly authorized by the Committee pursuant to Article G, Paragraph 6 of the Plan, during the lifetime of the Participant, stock options and stock appreciation rights may be exercised only by the Participant personally, or, in the event of the legal incompetence of the Participant, by the Participant’s duly appointed legal guardian.
     4. In the event that a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries while holding an unexercised stock option or stock appreciation right:
  (a)   Any unexercisable portions thereof are then void, except in the case of: (1) death of the Participant; (2) Retirement or Special Separation that occurs more than six months from the date the options were granted; or (3) any option as to which the Committee has waived, at the time of grant, the provisions of this Article G, Paragraph 4(a).

 


 

  (b)   Any exercisable portions thereof are then void, except in the case of: (1) death of the Participant; (2) Retirement or Special Separation; or (3) any option as to which the Committee has waived, at the time of grant, the provisions of this Article G, Paragraph 4(b).
 
  (c)   In the case of a Special Separation which occurs prior to October 2, 2007, any stock option or stock appreciation right must be exercised within the time specified in the original grant or five (5) years from the date of Special Separation, whichever is shorter. For a Special Separation which occurs on or after October 2, 2007, any stock option or stock appreciation right must be exercised within the time specified in the original grant.
     5. In the case of the death of a Participant, the persons to whom the stock options or stock appreciation rights have been transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the privilege of exercising remaining stock options, stock appreciation rights or parts thereof, whether or not exercisable on the date of death of such Participant, at any time prior to the expiration date of the stock options or stock appreciation rights.
     6. Stock options and stock appreciation rights are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. For the purpose of exercising stock options or stock appreciation rights after the death of the Participant, the duly appointed executors and administrators of the estate of the deceased Participant shall have the same rights with respect to the stock options and stock appreciation rights as legatees or distributees would have after distribution to them from the Participant’s estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may authorize the transfer of stock options and stock appreciation rights upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may require. Such transfer shall become effective only upon the Committee’s complete satisfaction that the proposed transferee has strictly complied with such terms and conditions, and both the original Participant and the transferee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions hereunder as the original Participant.
     7. Upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a redemption differential for each such stock appreciation right which shall be the difference between the then fair market value of one share of Common Stock and the exercise price of one stock appreciation right then being exercised. In the case of the redemption of stock appreciation rights by a subsidiary of the Company not located in the United States, the redemption differential shall be calculated in United States dollars and converted to the appropriate local currency on the exercise date. As determined by the Committee, the redemption differential may be paid in cash, Common Stock to be valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise, any other mode of payment deemed appropriate by the Committee or any combination thereof.
     8. Time spent on leave of absence shall be considered as employment for the purposes of the Plan. Leave of absence means any period of time away from work granted to any employee by his or her employer because of illness, injury, or other reasons satisfactory to the employer.
     9. The Company reserves the right from time to time to suspend the exercise of any stock option or stock appreciation right where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate for corporate purposes. No such suspension shall extend the life of the stock option or stock appreciation 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.
     10. The Committee may require any Participant to exercise any stock options or stock appreciation rights by means of electronic signature.
ARTICLE H — Payment for Stock Options and Tax Withholding.

 


 

     Upon the exercise of a stock option, payment in full of the exercise price shall be made by the Participant. As determined by the Committee, the stock option exercise price may be paid by the Participant either in cash, shares of Common Stock valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise, a combination thereof, or such other method as determined by the Committee. In addition to payment of the exercise price, the Committee may authorize the Company to charge a reasonable administrative fee for the exercise of any stock option. Furthermore, to the extent the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any Participant’s stock option exercise, the Committee may require the Participant to make such arrangements as the Company may deem necessary for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld (including, without limitation, relinquishment of a portion of such stock options or relinquishment of a portion of the proceeds received by the Participant in a simultaneous exercise and sale of stock during a “cashless” exercise). In no event, however, shall the Committee be permitted to require payment from a Participant in excess of the maximum required tax withholding rates.
ARTICLE I — Grant of Unrestricted Stock, Restricted Stock or RSUs.
     The Committee may grant Common Stock or RSUs to Participants under the Plan subject to such conditions or restrictions, if any, as the Committee may determine. To the extent the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with the lapse of restrictions on any Participant’s shares of Common Stock, the Committee may require the Participant to make such arrangements as the Company may deem necessary for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld (including, without limitation, relinquishment of a portion of such shares of Common Stock). In no event, however, shall the Committee be permitted to require payment from a Participant in excess of the maximum required tax withholding rates.
ARTICLE J — Performance Related Awards.
     1. The Committee, in its discretion, may establish performance goals for selected Participants and authorize the granting of cash, stock options, stock appreciation rights, Common Stock, RSUs or other awards that are related to the price of Common Stock, other property, or any combination thereof (“Performance Awards”) to such Participants upon achievement of such established performance goals during a specified time period (the “Performance Period”). The Committee, in its discretion, shall determine the Participants eligible for Performance Awards, the performance goals to be achieved during each Performance Period, the amount of any Performance Awards to be paid, and the method of payment for any Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other grants made under the Plan.
     2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Performance Awards granted under Article J, Paragraph 1 to any Participant subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) shall comply with all of the following requirements:
     (a) Each grant shall specify the specific performance objectives (the “Performance Objectives”) which, if achieved, will result in payment or early payment of the Performance Award. The Performance Objectives may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are related to a subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit of the Company in which the Participant is employed, and may consist of one or more or any combination of the following criteria: stock price, market share, sales revenue, cash flow, earnings per share, return on equity, total shareholder return, gross margin, stock price growth measures, operating total shareholder return, net earnings or net income (before or after taxes), return on assets or capital, earnings (before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization), operating margin, acquisition integration metrics, economic value added, and/or costs. The Performance Objectives may be made relative to the performance of other corporations. The Committee, in its discretion, may change or

 


 

modify these criteria, however, at all times the criterion must be valid performance criterion for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may not change the criteria or Performance Objectives for any Performance Period that has already been approved by the Committee. The Committee may cancel a Performance Period or replace a Performance Period with a new Performance Period, provided that any such cancellation or replacement shall not cause the Performance Award to fail to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.
     (b) Each grant shall specify the minimum level of achievement required by the Participant relative to the Performance Objectives to qualify for a Performance Award. In doing so, the grant shall establish a formula for determining the percentage of the Performance Award to be awarded if performance is at or above the minimum level, but falls short of full achievement of the specified Performance Objectives. Each grant may also establish a formula for determining an additional award above and beyond the Performance Award to be granted to the Participant if performance is at or above the specified Performance Objectives. Such additional award shall also be established as a percentage of the Performance Award. The Committee may decrease a Performance Award as determined by the Performance Objectives, but in no case may the Committee increase any Performance Award as determined by the Performance Objectives.
     (c) The maximum Performance Award that may be granted to any Participant for any one-year Performance Period shall not exceed $20,000,000 or 800,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Annual Maximum”). The maximum Performance Award that may be granted to any Participant for a Performance Period greater than one year shall not exceed the Annual Maximum multiplied by the number of full years in the Performance Period.
ARTICLE K — Adjustments.
     In the event of any future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock of the Company occuring after the date of approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders, (i) the amount of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan and (ii) the number of shares and/or the exercise prices covered by outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights or RSUs shall be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights under the Plan. Following any such change, the term “Common Stock” shall be deemed to refer to such class of shares or other securities as may be applicable.
ARTICLE L — Additional Provisions and Definitions.
     1. The Board may, at any time, repeal the Plan or may amend it except that no such amendment may amend this paragraph, increase the total aggregate number of shares subject to the Plan, reduce the price at which stock options or stock appreciation rights may be granted or exercised, alter the class of employees eligible to receive stock options, or increase the percentage of shares authorized to be transferred as restricted or unrestricted stock. Participants and the Company shall be bound by any such amendments as of their effective dates, but if any outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights are materially affected adversely, notice thereof shall be given to the Participants holding such stock options and stock appreciation rights and such amendments shall not be applicable without such Participant’s written consent. If the Plan is repealed in its entirety, all theretofore granted unexercised stock options or stock appreciation rights shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms and shares subject to conditions or restrictions granted pursuant to the Plan shall continue to be subject to such conditions or restrictions.
     2. In the case of a Participant who is an employee of a subsidiary of the Company, performance under the Plan, including the granting of shares of the Company, may be by the subsidiary. Nothing in

 


 

the Plan shall affect the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate the employment of any employee with or without cause. None of the Participants, either individually or as a group, and no beneficiary, transferee or other person claiming under or through any Participant, shall have any right, title, or interest in any shares of the Company purchased or reserved for the purpose of the Plan except as to such shares, if any, as shall have been granted or transferred to him or her. Nothing in the Plan shall preclude the awarding or granting of shares of the Company to employees under any other plan or arrangement now or hereafter in effect.
     3. “Subsidiary” means any company in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or, if the company does not issue stock, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined ownership interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. In addition, the Board may designate for participation in the Plan as a “subsidiary,” except for the granting of incentive stock options, those additional companies affiliated with the Company in which the Company’s direct or indirect stock ownership is fifty percent (50%) or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of such company’s stock, or, if the company does not issue stock, the Company’s direct or indirect ownership is fifty percent (50%) or less of the company’s total combined ownership interest.
     4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, stock options and stock appreciation rights granted hereunder shall vest immediately and any conditions or restrictions on Common Stock shall lapse upon a “Change in Control.” A “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:
  (a)   An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to this Paragraph 4(a), shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a “Related Entity”), (ii) the Company or any Related Entity, or (iii) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined);
 
  (b)   The individuals who, as of July 10, 2001 are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least half of the members of the Board; or, following a Merger (as hereinafter defined) which results in a Parent Corporation (as hereinafter defined), the board of directors of the ultimate Parent Corporation; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of the Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

 


 

  (c)   The consummation of:
  (i)   A merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued (a “Merger”), unless such Merger is a “Non-Control Transaction.” A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a Merger where:
  (A)   the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such Merger own directly or indirectly immediately following such Merger at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (x) the corporation resulting from such Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly by another Person (a “Parent Corporation”), or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent Corporation;
 
  (B)   the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Merger constitute at least half of the members of the board of directors of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent Corporation; and
 
  (C)   no Person other than (1) the Company, (2) any Related Entity, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to such Merger was maintained by the Company or any Related Entity, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization had Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities or shares, has Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities or common stock of (x) the Surviving Corporation if there is no Parent Corporation, or (y) if there is one or more Parent Corporations, the ultimate Parent Corporation;
  (ii)   A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or
 
  (iii)   The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Related Entity or under conditions that would constitute a Non-Control Transaction with the disposition of assets being regarded as a Merger for this purpose or the distribution to the Company’s stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets).
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of shares or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional shares or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

 


 

     5. The term “Special Separation” shall mean any termination of employment that occurs prior to the time a Participant is eligible to retire, except a termination for cause or a voluntary resignation that is not initiated or encouraged by the Company.
     6. The term “Retirement” shall mean: (a) retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) termination of employment under the permanent disability provision of any retirement plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
ARTICLE M — Consent.
     Every Participant who receives a stock option, stock appreciation right, RSU, or grant of shares pursuant to the Plan shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Plan and of the stock option, stock appreciation right, RSU, or grant of shares agreement referable thereto, and the acceptance of any stock option, stock appreciation right, RSU, or grant of shares pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a binding agreement between the Participant and the Company and its subsidiaries and any successors in interest to any of them. Every Person who receives a stock option, stock appreciation right, RSU, or grant of shares from a Participant pursuant to the Plan shall, in addition to such terms and conditions as the Committee may require upon such grant, be bound by the terms and provisions of the Plan and of the stock option, stock appreciation right, RSU, or grant of shares agreement referable thereto, and the acceptance of any stock option, stock appreciation right, RSU, or grant of shares by such Person shall constitute a binding agreement between such Person and the Company and its subsidiaries and any successors in interest to any of them. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States of America.
ARTICLE N — Purchase of Shares or Stock Options.
     The Committee may authorize any Participant to convert cash compensation otherwise payable to such Participant into stock options or shares of Common Stock under the Plan upon such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such conversion the shares of Common Stock shall be valued at no less than one hundred percent (100%) of their fair market value.
ARTICLE O — Duration of Plan.
     The Plan will terminate on July 10, 2011 unless a different termination date is fixed by the shareholders or by action of the Board of Directors, but no such termination shall affect the prior rights under the Plan of the Company (or any subsidiary) or of anyone to whom stock options or stock appreciation rights were granted prior thereto or to whom shares or RSUs have been transferred prior to such termination.

 


 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1.   Shares Awarded as a Portion of Remuneration
     Any shares of Common Stock of the Company awarded as a portion of a participant’s remuneration shall be valued at not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the award. These shares may be subject to such conditions or restrictions as the Committee may determine, including a requirement that the participant remain in the employ of the Company or one of its subsidiaries for a set period of time, or until retirement. Failure to abide by any applicable restriction will result in forfeiture of the shares.
2.   U.S. Tax Effects
     Incentive Stock Options
     With regard to tax effects which may accrue to the optionee, counsel advises that if the optionee has continuously been an employee from the time an option has been granted until at least three months before it is exercised, under existing law no taxable income results to the optionee from the exercise of an incentive stock option at the time of exercise. However, the spread at exercise is an “adjustment” item for alternative minimum tax purposes.
     Any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of stock acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option is considered as long-term capital gain for tax purposes if the stock has been held more than two years after the date the option was granted and more than one year after the date of exercise of the option. If the stock is disposed of within one year after exercise, the lesser of any gain on such disposition or the spread at exercise (i.e., the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the option price) is treated as ordinary income, and any appreciation after the date of exercise is considered long-term or short-term capital gain to the optionee depending on the holding period prior to sale. However, the spread at exercise (even if greater than the gain on the disposition) is treated as ordinary income if the disposition is one on which a loss, if sustained, is not recognized—e.g., a gift, a “wash” sale or a sale to a related party. The amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee is treated as a tax deductible expense to the Company. No other amount relative to an incentive stock option is a tax deductible expense to the Company.
     Nonstatutory Stock Options
     With regard to tax effects which may accrue to the optionee, counsel advises that under existing tax law gain taxable as ordinary income to the optionee is deemed to be realized at the date of exercise of the option, the gain on each share being the difference between the market price on the date of exercise and the option price. This amount is treated as a tax deductible expense to the Company at the time of the exercise of the option. Any appreciation in the value of the stock after the date of exercise is considered a long-term or short-term capital gain to the optionee depending on whether or not the stock was held for the appropriate holding period prior to sale.
     Stock Appreciation Rights
     With regard to tax effects which may accrue to the recipient, counsel advises that “United States persons,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “I.R.C.”), must recognize ordinary income as of the date of exercise equal to the amount paid to the recipient, i.e., the difference between the grant price and the value of the shares on the date of exercise.

 


 

     Shares Awarded as a Portion of Remuneration
     With regard to tax effects which may accrue to the recipient, counsel advises that “United States persons” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “I.R.C.”), must recognize ordinary income in the first taxable year in which the recipient’s rights to the stock are transferable or are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever is applicable. Recipients who are “United States persons” may also elect to include the income in their tax returns for the taxable year in which they receive the shares by filing an election to do so with the appropriate office of the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the date the shares are transferred to them.
     The amount includable in income is the fair market value of the shares as of the day the shares are transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever is applicable; if the recipient has elected to include the income in the year in which the shares are received, the amount of income includable is the fair market value of the shares at the time of transfer.
     For non-United States persons, the time when income is realized, its measurement and its taxation, will depend on the laws of the particular countries in which the recipients are residents and/or citizens at the time of transfer or when the shares are first transferable and not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as the case may be. “United States persons” who receive shares awarded as a portion of remuneration may also have tax consequences with respect to the receipt of shares or the expiration of restrictions or substantial risk of forfeiture on such shares under the laws of the particular country other than the United States of which such person is a resident or citizen.
     Notwithstanding the above advice received by the Company, it is each individual recipient’s responsibility to check with his or her personal tax adviser as to the tax effects and proper handling of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and Common Stock acquired. The above advice relates specifically to the U.S. consequences of stock options, stock appreciation rights and Common Stock acquired, including the U.S. consequences to “United States persons” whether or not resident in the U.S. In addition to U.S. tax consequences, for all persons who are not U.S. residents, the time when income, if any, is realized, the measurement of such income and its taxation will also depend on the laws of the particular country other than the U.S. of which such persons are resident and/or citizens at the time of grant or the time of exercise, as the case may be.
     The Plan is not subject to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the I.R.C.
3.   Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.
4.   Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
     The following documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-434) pursuant to the 1934 Act are incorporated into this document by reference:
  1.   The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year ended June 30;
 
  2.   The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the most recent quarter(s); and
 
  3.   All other documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Prospectus and prior to the filing of a post-effective

 


 

      amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold.
     The Company will provide without charge to each participant in the Plan, upon oral or written request, a copy of any or all of these documents other than exhibits to such documents, unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference into such documents. In addition, the Company will provide without charge to such participants a copy of the Company’s most recent annual report to shareholders, proxy statement, and other communications distributed generally to security holders of the Company. Requests for such copies should be directed to Mr. Jay A. Ernst, Manager, Shareholder Services, The Procter & Gamble Company, P.O. Box 5572, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201, (513) 983-3413.

Responsibility for Taxes

In this regard, I authorize P&G and/or my Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by P&G and/or my Employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, P&G may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that I acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that P&G only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, I shall pay to P&G or my Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that P&G or my Employer 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.

2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the

 


 

immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to Dividend Equivalents).

In the event of your Disability during the Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Disability. In the event of your retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble during the Forfeiture Period, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.

3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is,

 


 

by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
     As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However,

 


 

regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.

 


 

10. Data Privacy.
     By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
11. Notices.
(a) Any notice to Procter & Gamble that is required or appropriate with respect to Restricted Stock Units held by you must be in writing and addressed to:
The Procter & Gamble Company
ATTN: Corporate Secretary’s Office
P.O. Box 599
Cincinnati, OH 45201
or such other address as Procter & Gamble may from time to time provide to you in writing.
(b) Any notice to you that is required or appropriate with respect to Restricted Stock Units held or to be awarded to you will be provided to you in written or electronic form at any physical or electronic mail address for you that is on file with Procter & Gamble.
12. Successors and Assigns.
     These Terms and Conditions are binding on, and inure to the benefit of, (a) The Procter & Gamble Company and its successors and assigns; and (b) you and, if applicable, the representative of your estate.

 


 

13. Governing Law.
     The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions, the Plan and your Restricted Stock Units will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, U.S.A. without giving effect to any other jurisdiction’s conflicts of law principles. With respect to any dispute concerning these Terms and Conditions, the Plan and your Restricted Stock Units, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Hamilton County, Ohio, U.S.A.
14. The Plan.
     All Restricted Stock Units awarded to you have been awarded under the Plan. Certain provisions of the Plan may have been repeated or emphasized in these Terms and Conditions; however, all terms of the Plan apply to you and your Restricted Stock Units whether or not they have been called out in these Terms and Conditions.
15. Effect of These Terms and Conditions.
     These Terms and Conditions and the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, describe the contractual rights awarded to you in the form of Restricted Stock Units, and the obligations imposed on you in connection with those rights. No right exists with respect to Restricted Stock Units except as described in these Terms and Conditions and the Plan.

(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is,

 


 

by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
     As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However,

 


 

regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.

 


 

10. Data Privacy.
     By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
11. Notices.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY
STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE 2001 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
     The Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter you received from the Company (your “Award Letter”), and your ownership thereof, are subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions.
     For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Units (“Terms and Conditions”), all capitalized terms not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meanings described in The Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and the following terms will have the following meanings.
(a) “Data” has the meaning described in Section 10;
(b) “Disability” means termination of employment under the permanent disability provision of any retirement plan of Procter & Gamble;
(c) “Dividend Equivalents” has the meaning described in Section 4;
(d) “Forfeiture Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter;
(e) “Forfeiture Period” means the period from the Grant Date until the Forfeiture Date.
(f) “Grant Date” means the date a Restricted Stock Unit was awarded to you, as identified in your Award Letter;
(g) “Original Settlement Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter, as adjusted, if applicable, by Section 2;
(h) “Post-Forfeiture Period” means the period from the Forfeiture Date until the Original Settlement Date;
(i) “Procter & Gamble” means the Company and/or its Subsidiaries;
(j) “Restricted Stock Unit” means an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Plan, to issue to you one share of Common Stock on the Original Settlement Date.
2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents).

 


 

(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) your Disability; or (ii) in certain circumstances, your Special Separation. In the event of your Disability during the Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Disability. In the event of your Special Separation during the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.
(c) During the Post-Forfeiture Period, if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason other than: (i) Disability; (ii) Special Separation; or (iii) retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your termination of employment. In the event of your Disability or Special Separation during the Post-Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Disability or Special Separation, as applicable. In the event of your retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble during the Post-Forfeiture Period, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(d) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):

 


 

(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in

 


 

Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
     As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.

 


 

9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
10. Data Privacy.
     By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be

 


 

located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY
STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE 2001 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
     The Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter you received from the Company (your “Award Letter”), and your ownership thereof, are subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions.

2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit.
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) your Disability; or (ii) in certain circumstances, your Special Separation. In

 


 

the event of your Disability during the Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Disability. In the event of your Special Separation during the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.
(c) During the Post-Forfeiture Period, if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason other than: (i) Disability; (ii) Special Separation; or (iii) retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your termination of employment. In the event of your Disability or Special Separation during the Post-Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Disability or Special Separation, as applicable. In the event of your retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble during the Post-Forfeiture Period, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(d) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect.
3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job

 


 

performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.

 


 

4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Adjustments in Case of Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
7. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
8. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature,

 


 

and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
9. Data Privacy.
     By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
10. Notices.
(a) Any notice to Procter & Gamble that is required or appropriate with respect to Restricted Stock Units held by you must be in writing and addressed to:

(i) “Settlement Period” means the period from the Grant Date until the later of the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date.
2.   Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to Dividend Equivalents).
(b) At any time at least one calendar year prior to the Original Settlement Date, you and the Company may agree to postpone the date on which you are entitled to receive

 


 

one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit you hold, according to the deferral terms in place at the time, and provided the new date (the “Agreed Settlement Date”) is at least five years from the Original Settlement Date. During the Settlement Period, if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason other than: (i) Disability; (ii) Special Separation; or (iii) retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble, your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your termination of employment. In the event of your Disability or Special Separation during the Settlement Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your Disability or Special Separation, as applicable. In the event of your retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate retirement plan of Procter & Gamble during the Settlement Period, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(c) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(d) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(e) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3.   Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job

 


 

performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.

 


 

4. Dividend Equivalents.
     As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the Settlement period, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or

 


 

precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
10. Data Privacy.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY
STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR KEY MANAGER RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE 2001 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
     The Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter you received from the Company (your “Award Letter”), and your ownership thereof, are subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions.
     For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Units (“Terms and Conditions”), all capitalized terms not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meanings described in The Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and the following terms will have the following meanings.
(a) “Data” has the meaning described in Section 9;
(b) “Forfeiture Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter;
(c) “Forfeiture Period” means the period from the Grant Date until the Forfeiture Date.
(d) “Grant Date” means the date a Restricted Stock Unit was awarded to you, as identified in your Award Letter;
(e) “Original Settlement Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter, as adjusted, if applicable, by Section 2;
(f) “Procter & Gamble” means the Company and/or its Subsidiaries;
(g) “Restricted Stock Unit” means an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Plan, to issue to you one share of Common Stock on the Original Settlement Date.
2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit.
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) Retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate Retirement plan of Procter & Gamble that occurs more than six months from the Grant Date; or (ii) Special Separation that occurs more than six months from the Grant Date. In the event of your Retirement or Special Separation that occurs more than six months from the Grant Date, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these terms and conditions.

 


 

(c) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(d) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(e) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect.
3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other

 


 

confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Adjustments in Case of Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken

 


 

by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
7. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
8. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
9. Data Privacy.

 


 

     By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative.

     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken

 


 

by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
7. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
8. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
9. Data Privacy.

 


 

     By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY
STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR KEY MANAGER RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE 2001 STOCK AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
     The Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter you received from the Company (your “Award Letter”), and your ownership thereof, are subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Definitions.
     For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Units (“Terms and Conditions”), all capitalized terms not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meanings described in The Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and the following terms will have the following meanings.
(a) “Data” has the meaning described in Section 9;
(b) “Forfeiture Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter;
(c) “Forfeiture Period” means the period from the Grant Date until the Forfeiture Date.
(d) “Grant Date” means the date a Restricted Stock Unit was awarded to you, as identified in your Award Letter;
(e) “Original Settlement Date” is the date identified as such in your Award Letter, as adjusted, if applicable, by Section 2;
(f) “Procter & Gamble” means the Company and/or its Subsidiaries;
(g) “Restricted Stock Unit” means an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Plan, to issue to you one share of Common Stock on the Original Settlement Date.
2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit.
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) Retirement in accordance with the provisions of any appropriate Retirement plan of Procter & Gamble; or (ii) Special Separation. In the event of your Retirement or Special Separation, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these terms and conditions.

 


 

(c) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(d) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(e) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect.
3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, “trade secrets or other confidential information” also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or

 


 

managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Adjustments in Case of Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6. Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax,

 


 

by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
7. Suspension Periods and Termination.
     The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate.
8. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you 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 Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
9. Data Privacy.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY
STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE 2003 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ STOCK PLAN
     The Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter you received from the Company (your “Award Letter”), and your ownership thereof, are subject to the following terms and conditions.
1.   Definitions.
     For purposes of this Statement of Terms and Conditions for Restricted Stock Units (“Terms and Conditions”), all capitalized terms not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the meanings described in The Procter & Gamble 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Plan (the “Plan”), and the following terms will have the following meanings.

(i) “Procter & Gamble” means the Company and/or its Subsidiaries;
(j) “Restricted Stock Unit” means an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of the Plan, to issue to you one share of Common Stock on the later of the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date.
2.   Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents).

 


 

(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your position as a Director of the Company for any reason, except due to your: (i) disability; (ii) retirement after attaining the age of sixty-nine (69); (iii) resignation following retirement from your principal employer in good standing under the terms or your principal employer’s retirement plan; or (iv) resignation for reasons of antitrust laws or the Company’s conflict of interest, corporate governance or continued service policies. In the event of your disability during the Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date shall automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your disability. In the event of any of the other above exceptions occurring, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(c) At any time at least one calendar year prior to the Original Settlement Date, you and the Company may agree to postpone the date on which you are entitled to receive one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit you hold until January 15th of any later year (the “Agreed Settlement Date”). During the Post-Forfeiture Period, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions if you leave your position as a Director for any reason, except due to your disability. In the event of your disability during the Post-Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, shall automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your disability.
(d) Upon your death or the occurrence of a Change in Control at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, as applicable, will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or of the Change in Control, as applicable.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3.   Dividend Equivalents.
     As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them,

 


 

including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
4.   Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
     A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5.   Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
     In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6.   Tax Withholding.
     To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you.
