STRYKER CORPORATION
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
1.The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") with respect to Common Stock of Stryker Corporation (the "Company") granted to you during 2024 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Restricted Stock Units Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "Terms and Conditions") and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "2011 Plan"), which is incorporated herein by reference. In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan, and "Stock Plan Administrator" means UBS Financial Services Inc. (or any other independent service provider engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, operation and administration of the 2011 Plan).
2.Your right to receive the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs shall be only as follows:
(a)If you continue to be a Director, you will receive the Shares underlying the RSUs that have become vested as soon as administratively possible following the vesting date as set forth in the award letter.
(b)If you cease to be a Director by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) or death prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you or your estate will become fully vested in your RSUs, and you, your legal representative or your estate will receive all of the underlying Shares as soon as administratively practicable following your termination by Disability or death.
(c)If you cease to be a Director by reason of Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you (or your estate in the event of your death after your termination by Retirement) will continue to vest in your RSUs in accordance with the vesting schedule as set forth in the award letter as if you had continued your service as a Director.
(d)If you cease to be a Director prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested for any reason other than those provided in (b) or (c) above, you shall cease vesting in your RSUs effective as of your Termination Date, which shall be the last day of your active service as a Director.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle your RSUs in the form of: (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law, (2) would require you or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence or (3) is administratively burdensome; or (ii) Shares, but require you to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, the Company shall have the authority to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf).
(f)You may elect to defer delivery of the Shares that are otherwise issuable upon the vesting date by completing a prescribed deferral election form and returning it to the Company according to the instructions on such deferral election form. The deferral election form will be distributed to you separately. If made, the deferral election shall be irrevocable. You generally shall receive your Shares at such time(s) specified in the deferral election form.

3.The number of Shares subject to the RSUs shall be subject to adjustment and the vesting dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:
(a)In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the RSUs the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled. The other terms of the RSUs shall also be appropriately amended as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Shares shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the RSUs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.
(b)Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the RSUs may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion. Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.
(c)The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the RSUs to permit the immediate vesting of the RSUs (and to terminate any unvested RSUs) and the distribution of the underlying Shares prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other unrelated corporation.
4.If you are resident outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence. In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence. Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.
5.If you are resident in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the RSUs and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the "Age Discrimination Rules"). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.
6.Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do

not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.
Prior to any taxable event (or such later date(s) as specified in a valid deferral election form), if your country of residence (and/or the country services as a director occur, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a number of whole Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value that the Company, taking into account local requirements and administrative issues, determines in its sole discretion is appropriate to cover withholding for Tax-Related Items with respect to the Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the amount required to be paid to the relevant government authorities with respect to withholding for Tax-Related Items, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable. In the event that withholding in Shares is prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company, the Company shall withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your director fees or other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your director fees or other amounts payable to you by the Company, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) unless and until satisfactory arrangements have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, should be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs. By accepting these RSUs, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your director fees or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
7.The RSUs are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A.
8.The RSUs shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If you purport to make any transfer of the RSUs, except as aforesaid, the RSUs and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.
9.The RSUs shall not be vested in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the RSUs, if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the time. The RSUs are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the RSUs under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of Shares pursuant to the RSUs, the RSUs may not be vested in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.
10.The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon you any right to serve as a Director of the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your service as a Director at any time.

You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs until the date of issuance of such Shares.
11.You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the 2011 Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your service as a Director of the Company.
12.These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.
13.The Company is located at 1941 Stryker Way, Portage, Michigan 49002, U.S.A. and grants RSUs under the 2011 Plan to employees and directors of the Company and Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company's grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices ("Personal Data Activities"). In accepting the grant of the RSUs, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.
(a)The Company collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, citizenship, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you. In granting the RSUs under the 2011 Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the 2011 Plan. The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data is your consent.
(b)The Company transfers your personal data to the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you, if an account is not already in place, to receive and trade Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.
(c)The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.
(d)Your participation in the 2011 Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the 2011 Plan. This would not affect your existing directorship or your annual cash retainer; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the 2011 Plan.
You may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country or residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification

regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact the Company's Human Resources Department.
14.The grant of the RSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing(s) with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should acquire Shares under the 2011 Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the RSUs. The acquisition of Shares involves certain risks, and you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan or the disposition of them. Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the RSUs and the 2011 Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.
15.All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the RSUs and the 2011 Plan shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the state of Michigan, without regard to the application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any disputes regarding the RSUs or the 2011 Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the state of Michigan.
16.The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSUs or other awards granted to you under the 2011 Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the 2011 Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
17.The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions.
18.If you are resident outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the RSUs be drawn up in English. If you have received these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan or any other documents related to the RSUs translated into a language other than English and the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
19.Notwithstanding any provisions of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence set forth in an addendum to these Terms and Conditions (an "Addendum"). Further, if you transfer your residence to another country reflected in an Addendum to these Terms and Conditions at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such special terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer). In all circumstances, any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of these Terms and Conditions.
20.The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs, any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, and your participation in the 2011 Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award

and the 2011 Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

The Company's collection, processing, use and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company's contractual obligations under the 2011 Plan and pursuant to the Company's legitimate interest of managing and generally administering equity awards.

For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant's personal data.

2.Securities Law Information. This grant of RSUs is being made under Division 1A Part 7.12 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If Shares acquired under the Plan are offered for sale to a

3.Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD 10,000 and international fund transfers. The Australian bank assisting with the transaction will file the report. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transfer, you personally will be required to file the report. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal legal, regulatory or foreign exchange obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.
AUSTRIA
1.Exchange Control Information. If you hold securities (including Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of Shares) outside Austria, you will be required to report certain information to the Austrian National Bank if certain thresholds are exceeded. Specifically, if you hold securities outside Austria, reporting requirements will apply if the value of such securities meets or exceeds a certain threshold or, as of December 31, meets or exceeds a certain threshold. If the former threshold is exceeded, quarterly obligations are imposed, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, annual reports must be submitted. If quarterly reporting is required, the reports must be filed by the fifteenth day of the month following the last day of the respective quarter. The annual reporting date is as of December 31 and the deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year. Further, if you hold cash in accounts outside Austria, monthly reporting requirements will apply if the aggregate transaction volume of such cash accounts meets or exceeds a certain threshold. In this case, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month, on a prescribed form (Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichtungen).

You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal legal, regulatory or foreign exchange obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.
BELGIUM
1.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Belgian residents are required to report any security (e.g, Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan) or bank account established outside of Belgium on their personal annual tax return. In a separate report, Belgian residents also are required to provide a central contact point of the National Bank of Belgium with the account number of those foreign bank accounts, the name of the bank with which the accounts were opened and the country in which they were opened in a separate report. This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under the Kredietcentrales / Centrales des credits caption. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.
2.Stock Exchange Tax Information. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by Belgian residents through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax will apply when Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs are sold. You should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
3.Annual Securities Account Tax. An annual securities accounts tax may be payable if the total value of securities held in a Belgian or foreign securities account (e.g., Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan) exceeds a certain threshold on four reference dates within the relevant reporting period (i.e., December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30). In such case, the tax will be due on the value of the qualifying securities held in such account. You should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the annual securities account tax.

BRAZIL
1.Compliance with Law. By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to pay any and all applicable taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, the issuance and/or sale of Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan and the receipt of any dividends.
2.Exchange Control Information. If you are resident or domiciled in Brazil, you will be required to submit an annual declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank of Brazil if the aggregate value of such assets and rights is greater than US$1 million as of December 31 of each year. If the aggregate value exceeds US$100 million as of the end of each quarter, a declaration must be submitted quarterly. Assets and rights that must be reported include Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal legal, regulatory or foreign exchange obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.
3.Tax on Financial Transaction (IOF). Repatriation of funds (e.g., the proceeds from the sale of Shares) into Brazil and the conversion of USD into BRL associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial Transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Tax on Financial Transactions arising from your participation in the 2011 Plan. You should consult with your personal tax advisor for additional details.
CANADA
1.Settlement in Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms and Conditions or the 2011 Plan, the RSUs shall be settled only in Shares (and may not be settled in cash).
2.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including the RSUs, Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan, and other rights to receive shares of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident generally must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the unvested portion of the RSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because you holds other specified foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB ordinarily will equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you owns other Shares, the ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.
BY SIGNING BELOW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE 2011 PLAN, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THIS ADDENDUM.
