Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
A. Terms and Conditions Applicable to PBRSUs

The Award consists of that number of PBRSUs that has been approved for the Award to you by the Committee as the target number of PBRSUs, as set forth in the Notice of Grant (“Target PBRSUs”). Each PBRSU is equivalent to one Share. Your rights to the PBRSUs are subject to this Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein in full) in addition to such other terms and conditions, if any, as may be imposed by law.
2.Vesting of Award.

Company’s long-term disability plan, (B) you terminate your employment with the Company or an Affiliate due to Retirement or (C) your employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to your death, in each case on or before the Certification Date, the remaining portion of the Performance Period shall continue through its last day, and you shall become vested as of the Certification Date in a pro-rata portion of the PBRSUs equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of PBRSUs earned with respect to the Performance Period based on actual performance during the Performance Period as determined in accordance with Exhibit A by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Period during which you are employed by the Company or an Affiliate (or, in the case of (A) above, the number of months during the Performance Period before you began receiving benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan) and the denominator of which is 36.
(3)Vesting Upon a Change in Control. The treatment of your PBRSUs in the event of a Change in Control shall be governed by Section 11 of the Plan.
(4)Forfeiture of Unvested PBRSUs.

In consideration of the grant by the Company of the PBRSUs and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, you and the Company, intending to be legally bound, agree to the provisions regarding “Prohibited Conduct” set forth on Annex A to this Agreement.

The International Appendix hereto describes additional terms and conditions applicable to the PBRSUs in certain foreign countries. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the vesting of the PBRSUs, the issuance or delivery of Shares under this Award or any other action permitted under the Plan to permit the Company, with reasonable diligence, to complete such stock exchange listing or registration or
2

qualification of such Shares or other required action under any federal, state or foreign country law, rule or regulation and may require you to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of the Plan to recognize the vesting of the PBRSUs or to otherwise sell or issue Shares in violation of any such laws, rules or regulations. Neither the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to you caused by any postponement of the vesting or settlement of the PBRSUs (or Shares issuable thereunder).
2.No Stockholder Rights. Except as set forth in the Plan, neither you nor any person claiming under or through you shall be, or have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company (e.g., you have no right to vote or receive dividends) in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to this Award unless and until your Shares shall have been issued.
3.Tax Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in your gross income for federal, state, local or foreign tax purposes with respect to this Award, you shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of this Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement, having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with any such procedures as the Committee may establish. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to you.

If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, in whole or in part, then the parties shall be relieved of their respective obligations arising under such provision only to the extent that it is illegal, unenforceable or void, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the fullest extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same objectives. If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void to any extent, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected.
11.Interpretation. All section titles and captions in this Agreement are for convenience only, shall not be deemed part of this Agreement, and in no way shall define, limit, extend or describe the scope or intent of any provisions of this Agreement.

13.No Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.
14.Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption or exclusion therefrom and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is intended that this Agreement be administered in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

15.Data Privacy. You understand that the Company and the Company subsidiary for which you work may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all PBRSUs. By accepting the PBRSUs, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use, transfer, holding, storage and disclosure in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award grant materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively referred to in this Data Privacy section as the “Company”) and certain third party service providers including, but not limited to, Plan brokers, financial advisers and legal counsel, engaged by the Company (collectively, the “Providers”) for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and complying with applicable laws, regulations and legislation. You understand that the Data which may be collected, used, transferred, held, stored or disclosed by the Company and the Providers consists of certain Data about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other government identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all PBRSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor. The Data may also include information relating to your health (for example, where your employment terminates due to death or Disability). You further understand that such collection, use, transfer, holding, storage or disclosure of the Data may be necessary for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and complying with applicable laws, regulations and legislation. You understand that the Company or the Providers may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the laws of the country in which the Company and the Providers collect, use, transfer, hold, store or disclose the Data may have different legal protections for the Data than your country. However, regardless of the location of the Data, the Company protects the Data through reasonable physical, technical and administrative safeguards and requires that the Providers also have such safeguards in place. You understand that you may, at any time, request a copy of your Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting your local human resources representative in writing. You understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan as more fully described below. You understand that you are providing the consent herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with your employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant PBRSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand 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.

Exhibit A
Performance Criteria for 2024-2026 PBRSU Award under
Colgate Palmolive Company 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan
1.The number of PBRSUs earned will be determined based on (a) Relative Net Income Growth;
(b) Relative Organic Sales Growth; and (c) Free Cash Flow Productivity, subject to adjustment by the TSR modifier, all as set forth below.
2.For purposes of the basic calculation (pre-TSR modifier), (a) the Relative Net Income Growth measure is weighted 30%, (b) the Relative Organic Sales Growth measure is weighted 50%, and (c) the Free Cash Flow Productivity measure is weighted 20%.
3.The Relative Net Income component is calculated as follows:

Company Relative Net Income Growth | Payout as a % of Target Award
High | 200%
75 th percentile | 150%
50 th percentile | 100%
25 th percentile | 50%
Below 25 th percentile | 0%

To the extent the Company’s Relative Net Income Growth percentile falls between two applicable values, the applicable payout percentage shall be interpolated on a linear basis.
4.The Relative Organic Sales Growth component is calculated as follows:

Company Relative Organic Sales Growth | Payout as a % of Target Award
High | 200%
75 th percentile | 150%
50 th percentile | 100%

Exhibit A

25 th percentile | 50%
Below 25 th percentile | 0%

To the extent the Company’s Relative Organic Sales Growth percentile falls between two applicable values, the applicable payout percentage shall be interpolated on a linear basis.
5.The Free Cash Flow Productivity component is calculated as follows:

Company’s Free Cash Flow Productivity | Payout as a % of Target Award
110% or above | 200%
102.5% | 150%
95% | 100%
75% | 50%
Below 75% | 0%

To the extent the Company’s Free Cash Flow Productivity percentage falls between two applicable values, the applicable payout percentage shall be interpolated on a linear basis.
6.The number of PBRSUs determined based on the immediately preceding paragraphs 3 through 5 will increase or decrease by up to 25% based on the Company’s TSR relative to the Compensation Peer Group, as follows:

Company’s TSR Relative to Compensation Peer Group | Award Modifier
Greater than or equal to the 75 th percentile | +25%

Exhibit A-2

Exhibit A

Greater than the 60 th but less than the 75 th percentile | +10%
From the 40 th to the 60 th percentile | 0
Greater than the 25 th but less than the 40 th percentile | -10%
Less than or equal to the 25 th percentile | -25%

7.The maximum number of Shares that may be earned shall equal 250% of the Target PBRSUs.
8.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Company’s TSR is negative, the maximum number of Shares that may be earned shall equal the number of Target PBRSUs.
9.Sample Calculation (for illustrative purposes only)
If the Company achieves Relative Net Income performance at the 50th percentile, Relative Organic Sales Growth performance at the 75th percentile, Free Cash Flow Productivity at 75% and TSR at the 61st percentile:

| Performance Achieved | Award Payout | Weight | % of Target Award Earned | Pre-TSR Modifier Payout | Total Payout (with TSR Modifier)
Relative Net Income Growth | 50 th Percentile | 100% of Target Award | 30% | 100% * 30% = 30% | (30% + 75% +10%) 115% of Target Award | 115%*110%= 126.5% of Target Award
Relative Organic Sales Growth | 75 th Percentile | 150% of Target Award | 50% | 150% * 50% = 75%
Free Cash Flow Productivity | 75% | 50% of Target Award | 20% | 50% * 20% = 10%

e.Equitable Relief. You acknowledge that the services you provide to the Company and/or its Affiliate(s) are of a unique nature and that it would be difficult to replace such services. You also acknowledge that a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement may cause irreparable damage to the Company and its Affiliate(s), the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain, and that any remedies, including the repayment and forfeiture remedies set forth in Paragraph 4 of this Annex A and any remedies permissible under law, for any such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate. Accordingly, in the event the Company determines that you have breached or attempted or threatened to breach any of the Restrictive Covenants, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, it is agreed that the Company will be entitled to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court, tribunal or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (without the necessity of (i) proving irreparable harm, (ii) establishing that monetary damages are inadequate or (iii) posting any bond with respect thereto) against you prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach by proving only the existence of such breach or attempted or threatened breach.
f.Extension of Restrictive Period. You agree that the Restricted Time will be extended by any time during which you are in violation of any of the Restrictive Covenants.
g.Acknowledgments. You and the Company agree that it is our mutual intent to enter into a valid and enforceable agreement. You and the Company acknowledge the reasonableness of the Restrictive Covenants, including the reasonableness of the geographic area, duration as to time and scope of activity restrained. You further acknowledge that your skills are such that you can be gainfully employed in noncompetitive employment and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent you from earning a living. You acknowledge that the remedies set forth in this Agreement are not the exclusive remedies and the Company may avail itself of other remedies at law or in equity in the event you breach any of the Restrictive Covenants.
h.Provisions Independent. The Restrictive Covenants will be construed as an agreement independent of any other agreement, including any employee benefit agreement, and independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action you bring against the Company or an Affiliate, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.
Annex A-3

Annex A
i.Notification of Subsequent Employer. You agree that the Company and/or Affiliate may notify any person or entity hiring or engaging you, or considering hiring or engaging you, to serve as a director, officer, employee, consultant, contractor or advisor, or to provide services or advice in any capacity, of the existence and provisions of this Agreement.
j.THE SCOPE OF THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS ANNEX A ARE SUBJECT TO THE SEVERABILITY OR REFORM BY COURT PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION C.10 OF THE AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE, THE SCOPE OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO REFORMULATION BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE LEGITIMATE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS ANNEX A IS SEVERABLE AND WILL NOT APPLY TO, AND WILL NOT BE ENFORCED BY THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO, POST–TERMINATION ACTIVITY IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THIS PROHIBITION IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
