Exhibit 10.64

CBOE GLOBAL MARKETS, INC. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement – Performance Based

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated effective _______________________(the “Award Date”), and is between Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and _______________ (“Participant”). Any term capitalized but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (formerly CBOE Holdings, Inc.) Long-Term Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”).

1. | Award. The Corporation hereby awards to Participant [___] Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a notional amount that represents one unvested share of Stock and entitles Participant, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to receive a share of Stock if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests.

2. | No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of the shares of Stock (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation declares a cash dividend on shares of Stock, on the payment date of the dividend, Participant will be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights equal to the amount of the cash dividend per share multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units held by Participant on the dividend’s record date. The Dividend Equivalent Rights credited to Participant under the preceding sentence will be deemed to be reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units, which will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting, forfeiture, and distribution as Restricted Stock Units awarded to Participant under this Agreement.

3. | Performance Period. The Performance Period for the Restricted Stock Units shall be the three (3) year period commencing on [___] and ending on [___].

4. | Vesting; Effect of Termination of Service; Change in Control.

(a)Subject to Sections 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d) below, Participant’s Restricted Stock Units will vest upon the expiration of the Performance Period, subject to and contingent upon achievement of the Performance Goal described in Exhibit A hereto and Participant’s continued Service through the last day of the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant attains at least age fifty-five (55) and completes at least ten (10) years of Service (“Retirement Vesting”) and subsequently retires prior to expiration of the Performance Period, Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have vested in accordance with the preceding sentence based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goal actually achieved if Participant had continued Service through the last day of the Performance Period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period on which Participant was providing Service, and the denominator of which is 1,095.

(b)The Restricted Stock Units will vest at the Target level of achievement of the Performance Goal (as described in Exhibit A), upon the earlier to occur of (i) Participant’s death or (ii) Participant’s becoming Disabled, provided that such condition qualifies as “disability” as defined for purposes of Section 409A, in each case, if prior to any forfeiture event under Section 4(d) below.
(c)This subsection 4(c) shall apply to this Agreement, this Award and any Replacement Award provided to Participant to replace this Award in lieu of Section 8.2(b) of the Plan. Upon a termination of Participant’s Service by the Corporation or its Affiliate without Cause or by Participant for “Good Reason” (as defined below), in each case, upon or within two years after a Change in Control and prior to any forfeiture event under Section 4(d) below, this Award or any Replacement Award held by Participant shall become fully vested and free of restrictions at the Target level of achievement of the Performance Goal (as described in Exhibit A, as amended by the Replacement Award, if any), except that vesting shall be, to the extent determinable, at the level of achievement of the Performance Goal actually achieved as of the date of termination of Service (with similar performance assumed to be achieved through the remainder of the Performance Period) if greater than the Target level of achievement, and shall be distributed upon or within 60 days of such termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Award or the Replacement Award, as applicable, is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, payment shall be made pursuant to the Award’s original schedule if necessary to comply with Section 409A.

For purposes of this Award “Good Reason” shall be deemed to exist if, and only if, without the Participant’s express written consent:

(i) The Corporation or its Affiliate assigns to Participant authorities, duties or responsibilities (including titles) that are inconsistent in any material and adverse respect with Participant’s immediately preceding authorities, duties or responsibilities with the Corporation or its Affiliate (including any material and adverse diminution of such immediately preceding authorities, duties or responsibilities);

(ii) The Corporation or its Affiliate materially reduces Participant’s base compensation;

(iii) The Corporation or its Affiliate requires Participant to relocate his or her principal business office or principal place of residence outside the metropolitan area in which Participant worked or resided at the time the Restricted Stock Units were awarded (or outside the immediately preceding location of Participant’s principal business office with the Corporation or its Affiliate), or assigns to Participant duties that would reasonably require such relocation;

(iv) The Corporation or its Affiliate materially breaches the terms of any agreement pursuant to which services are provided to the Corporation or its Affiliate by Participant; or

(v) The Corporation or its Affiliate terminates, reduces or limits Participant’s participation in any bonus or incentive compensation arrangement relative to the level of

​

2

participation of other employees of similar rank for a reason that is not reasonably related to Participant’s level of job performance or local legal requirements and provided that such action results in a material reduction in the aggregate value of Participant’s incentive compensation below the aggregate value as of the immediately preceding bonus or incentive compensation performance period and provided further that a mere change in the form of payment of the award (whether cash or shares of Stock) without a reduction in the aggregate grant value of the award shall not be considered a reduction of Participant’s participation.

Participant’s voluntary termination of Service shall not be considered a termination of Service for Good Reason unless Participant terminates his or her Service within 120 days after the initial existence of the condition constituting Good Reason; provided, Participant provides written notice to the Corporation or its Affiliate of Participant’s intention to resign for Good Reason, which notice specifies in reasonable detail the breach or action giving rise thereto within 90 days of its initial existence, and the Corporation or its Affiliate does not cure such breach or action within 30 days after the date of the Participant’s notice.

(d)If Participant’s Service is terminated for any reason before all of Participant’s Restricted Stock Units have vested under this Agreement (including pursuant to an event described in Section 4(b) or 4(c) above), Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited upon the effective date of such termination of Service. Neither the Corporation nor any Affiliate will have any further obligations to Participant under this Agreement if Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited.

5. | Terms and Conditions of Distribution.

(a)Distribution of a share of Stock that corresponds to a vested Restricted Stock Unit (other than a Restricted Stock Unit that vested due to Retirement Vesting) shall be made to Participant as soon as practicable after the Restricted Stock Unit vests, but not later than two and a half (2½) months after the end of the calendar year in which the Restricted Stock Unit vests.
(b)Distribution of a share of Stock that corresponds to a Restricted Stock Unit that vested due to Retirement Vesting shall be made to Participant during the two and a half (2½) months period after the end of the calendar year in which or with which the Performance Period expired or, if earlier, as soon as practicable following the earlier to occur of the following dates: (i) the date on which such Restricted Stock Unit would otherwise have vested in accordance with Section 4(b), or (ii) Participant’s “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A (or, if Participant is a “specified employee” as defined for purposes of Section 409A on the date of such separation from service, the date that is the first day of the seventh (7th) month following Participant’s separation from service).
(c)If Participant dies before the date on which the Corporation would have distributed shares of Stock in satisfaction of vested Restricted Stock Units, the Corporation will distribute such shares of Stock to Participant’s designated beneficiary(ies) or, if none are designated or surviving, to Participant’s estate or personal representative. The

​

3

Corporation is not required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock before completing the steps necessary to comply with applicable Federal and state securities laws (including any registration requirements) and applicable stock exchange rules and practices. The Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause compliance with those laws, rules and practices. The foregoing provisions are subject in all cases to the requirements of Section 409A.

6. | Nontransferability. Unvested Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, pledged, assigned, garnished, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any effort to assign or transfer the rights under this Agreement will be wholly ineffective, and will be grounds for termination by the Committee of all rights of Participant under this Agreement.

7. | Administration. The Committee administers the Plan. Participant’s rights under this Agreement are expressly subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to any guidelines the Committee adopts from time to time. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of the Plan and this Agreement, and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee for purposes of administering the Plan and this Agreement, will be final and binding upon Participant.

8. | Securities Law Requirements. If at any time the Board or Committee determines that issuing Stock pursuant to this Agreement would violate applicable securities laws, the Corporation will not be required to issue such Stock. The Board or Committee may declare any provision of this Agreement or action of its own null and void, if it determines the provision or action fails to comply with applicable securities laws. The Corporation may require Participant to make written representations it deems necessary or desirable to comply with applicable securities laws.

9. | Payment of Withholding Taxes. Distribution to Participant of shares of Stock under this Agreement will be subject to Federal income and other tax withholding (and state and local income tax withholding, or non-U.S. tax withholding, if applicable) by the Corporation in respect of taxes on income realized by Participant. The Corporation may withhold the minimum statutorily required amounts from future paychecks to Participant, or may require that Participant deliver to the Corporation the amounts to be withheld. Participant agrees to allow the Corporation, upon any payment of shares of Stock to Participant under this Agreement, to withhold a portion of the shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to Participant having a Fair Market Value of the tax withholding obligation (or, in the discretion of the Corporation, to satisfy up to the maximum tax withholding obligation), in satisfaction of any Federal income and other tax withholding (and any state and local income tax withholding, or non-U.S. tax withholding, if applicable). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event that any Restricted Stock Units become subject to tax withholding before the shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units would otherwise be delivered to the Participant, the Corporation may issue a sufficient number of whole shares of Stock with respect to the Restricted Stock Units that does not exceed the minimum tax withholding obligation, which shares of Stock shall be withheld by the Corporation to satisfy its withholding obligation, in accordance with and subject to the requirements of Section 409A.

10. | Restrictive Covenants. Participant understands the global nature of the Corporation’s businesses and the effort the Corporation and its Affiliates (collectively referred to in this Section as “Cboe”) undertake to develop and protect their business and their competitive advantage. Accordingly, Participant agrees that the scope and duration of the restrictions described in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Cboe. Participant further agrees that during the period of Participant’s Service and for a period of two (2) years following Participant’s separation from Service, Participant shall not, without the express written approval of the Chief Executive Officer:

(a)singly, jointly, or in any other capacity, in a manner that contributes to any research, technology, development, account, trading, marketing, promotion, or sales and that relates to Participant’s Service with Cboe, directly or beneficially, manage, join, participate in the management, operation or control of, or work for (as an employee, consultant or independent contractor), or permit the use of his or her name by, or provide financial or other assistance to, or be connected in any manner with (i) any exchange, facility, electronic communications network (“ECN”), electronic foreign currency exchange market (“FX”) matching platform, multilateral trading facility, or alternative trading system (“ATS”); (ii) the ECN, ATS or FX business lines of any full service broker dealer; or (iii) any business line of any company that is substantially similar to any additional business line developed or entered into by Cboe during Participant’s Service, provided that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), such entity or business line that directly competes with Cboe;
(b)provide any service or assistance that (i) is of the general type of service or assistance provided by Participant to Cboe, (ii) relates to any technology, account, product, project or piece of work with which Participant was involved during his Service, and (iii) contributes to causing an entity to come within the definition described in Section 10(a) above;

(d)directly or indirectly divert or attempt to divert from Cboe any business in which Cboe has been actively engaged during Participant’s Service, nor interfere with the relationships of Cboe or with their sources of business.

11. | Confidentiality. Participant acknowledges that the Corporation or an Affiliate may disclose secret or confidential information to Participant during the period of Participant’s Service to enable Participant to perform his or her duties. Participant agrees that, subject to the following sentence, Participant shall not during his or her Service (except in connection with the proper performance of his or her duties) and thereafter, without the

​

5

| prior written consent of the Corporation, disclose to any person or entity any material or significant secret or confidential information concerning the business of the Corporation or an Affiliate that was obtained by Participant in the course of Participant’s Service. This paragraph shall not be applicable if and to the extent Participant is required to testify in a legislative, judicial or regulatory proceeding pursuant to an order of Congress, any state or local legislature, a judge, or an administrative law judge, or if such secret or confidential information is required to be disclosed by Participant by any law, regulation or order of any court or regulatory commission, department or agency. Participant further agrees that if Participant’s Service is terminated for any reason, Participant will not take, but will leave with the Corporation or an Affiliate, all records and papers and all matter of whatever nature that bears secret or confidential information of the Corporation or an Affiliate. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “secret or confidential information” shall include, but not be limited to, any and all records, notes, memoranda, data, writings, research, personnel information, customer information, clearing members’ information, the Corporation’s and any Affiliate’s financial information and plans, processes, methods, techniques, systems, formulas, patents, models, devices, compilations or any other information of whatever nature in the possession or control of the Corporation or an Affiliate, that has not been published or disclosed to the general public, the options industry, the equities industry, the foreign currency exchange industry or the commodities futures industry, provided that such term shall not include knowledge, skills, and information that is common to the trade or profession of Participant.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Participant from confidentially or otherwise communicating or filing a charge or complaint with a governmental or regulatory entity, participating in a governmental or regulatory entity investigation, or giving truthful testimony or making other disclosures to a governmental or regulatory entity (in each case, without having to disclose any such conduct to the Corporation or an Affiliate), or from responding if properly subpoenaed or otherwise required to do so under applicable law. In addition, nothing in this Agreement limits Participant’s right to receive an award from a governmental or regulatory entity for information provided to such an entity (and not as compensation for actual or alleged personal injury or damages to Participant).

Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. 1833(b)), Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a violation of law. Participant shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret made in a complaint, or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If Participant files a lawsuit or other action alleging retaliation by the Corporation or an Affiliate for reporting a suspected violation of law, Participant may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding or other action, if Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. This paragraph will govern to the extent it may conflict with any other provision of this Agreement.

12. | Judicial Modification. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Section 10 or 11 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that (a) the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, (b) the parties shall request that the court exercise that power, and (c) this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment or decision may be appealed.

13. | Remedies. Participant agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement, in addition to any other penalties or restrictions that may apply under any employment agreement, state law, or otherwise, Participant shall forfeit, upon written notice to such effect from the Corporation, any and all Awards granted to him or her under the Plan and this Agreement, including vested Awards. The forfeiture provisions of this Section 13 shall continue to apply, in accordance with their terms, after the provisions of any employment or other agreement between the Corporation and Participant have lapsed. Participant consents and agrees that if Participant violates or threatens to violate any provisions of Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement, the Corporation or its successors in interest shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that they may have, including money damages, to an injunction to be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction restraining Participant from committing or continuing any violation of Sections 10 or 11. In the event that Participant is found to have breached any provision set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement, the time period provided for in that provision shall be deemed tolled (i.e., it will not begin to run) for as long as Participant was in violation of that provision. The provisions of Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement shall continue to apply, in accordance with their terms, after the Participant's service has terminated and after provisions of any employment or other agreement between the Corporation and the Participant have lapsed.

14. | Representations and Warranties. Participant represents and warrants to the Corporation that Participant has received a copy of the Plan and this Agreement, has read and understands the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees to be bound by their terms and conditions in all respects.

15. | No Limitation on the Corporation’s Rights. The granting of Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement shall not and will not in any way affect the Corporation’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

16. | Plan and Agreement Not a Contract of Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement is a contract of employment or Service, and no terms of Participant’s employment or Service will be affected in any way by the Plan, this Agreement or related instruments, except to the extent specifically expressed therein. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement will be construed as conferring any legal rights on Participant to continue to be employed or remain in Service, nor will it interfere with the Corporation’s or any Affiliate’s

​

7

| right to discharge Participant or to deal with Participant regardless of the existence of the Plan or this Agreement.

17. | Entire Agreement and Amendment.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, no provision of this Agreement, or any other agreement or arrangement contemplated by this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee by the Corporation of any particular tax effect to Participant.

Further, if Participant transfers residency and/or employment to another country, any special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Restricted Stock Units to the extent the Corporation determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Restricted Stock Units and the Plan (or

​

| the Corporation may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate Participant’s transfer). In all circumstances, the Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.

Exhibit A

Vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is contingent on achievement of a Performance Goal tied to Total Shareholder Return of the Corporation as compared to the Total Shareholder Return of the S&P 500 Index during the Performance Period. The number of Restricted Stock Units that may vest shall be determined as set forth below:

​

TSR Percentile Attained | Percentage of Restricted Stock Units That Vest
[__]th percentile (“Maximum”) or greater | [___]%
[__]th percentile (“Target”) | [___]%
[__]th percentile (“Threshold”) | [___]%

​

For TSR Percentile performance levels that fall between the values shown above, the percentage of Restricted Stock Units that vest will be determined by straight line interpolation, provided that no Restricted Stock Units will vest if the Corporation’s TSR Percentile does not equal or exceed the Threshold amount.

​

“Total Shareholder Return” means, with respect to any corporation, the i ncrease in its stock price over the Performance Period plus reinvested dividends, divided by its stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period. For purposes of this definition, the beginning stock price will be the average closing price over the twenty (20) trading days up to and including [___], and the ending stock price will be the average closing price over the twenty (20) trading days up to and including [___].

​

“TSR Percentile” means the Corporation’s Total Shareholder Return during the Performance Period relative to the Total Shareholder Returns for the S&P 500 Index during the Performance Period.

The Corporation and the Employer will collect, process and use certain personal information about Participant, specifically, Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

| (b) | Recipients of Data.

| a. | Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Corporation and the Employer transfer Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC (and/or its affiliates, collectively “Fidelity”), the designated broker assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Corporation may select a different service provider and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner.

| b. | Other Service Provider Data Recipients. The Corporation also may transfer Data to other third party service providers, if necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax, exchange control, securities and labor law. Such third party service providers may include the Corporation’s legal counsel as well as its auditor, human resources consultant and payroll vendor. Wherever possible, the Corporation will anonymize data, but Participant understands that his or her Data may need to be transferred to such providers to ensure compliance with applicable law and/or tax requirements.

| c. | Securities or Other Regulatory Authorities. In addition to the recipients identified herein and where required under applicable law, Data also may be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities, including where the Corporation’s securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made. The legal basis, where required, for such disclosure is compliance with applicable law.

| (c) | International Data Transfers. The Corporation, Fidelity and other service providers described above are located in the United States. The United States may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country of residence (or country of employment, if different).

| (d) | Legal Basis for Collection, Processing and Transfer of Data.

| a. | Participants within the EU / European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland and the United Kingdom

i. |  | The collection, processing and transfer of Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of the Corporation and Employer’s administration of the Plan and Participant’s participation in the Plan.

ii. |  | When transferring Data to potential recipients outside the EU/EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom, the Corporation and the Employer strive to provide appropriate safeguards in accordance

​

15

|  | with Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. For further information on the transfer of the Participant’s personal data outside of the EU/EEA, Switzerland and/or the United Kingdom, the Participant may contact his or her human resources representative.

| b. | Participants outside the EU / EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom

i. |  | Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, processing and use, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s Data by the Corporation and the transfer of Data to the recipients mentioned above, including recipients located in countries which do not adduce an adequate level of protection from a non-U.S. data protection law perspective, for the purposes described above. Upon transfer of Participant’s Data to Fidelity, Participant may be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with Fidelity, with such agreement being a condition of the ability to participate in the Plan.

ii. |  | Participation in the Plan is voluntary and Participant understands that Participant is providing the consent herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected. The only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that Participant may contact his or her human resources representative.

| (e) | Data Retention. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan or comply with applicable laws. When the Corporation no longer needs the Data, the Corporation will remove it from its systems.

| (f) | Data Subject Rights. Participant understands that Participant may have the right under applicable law to (i) access or copy Data that the Corporation possesses, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict processing of Data, (v) opt out of the Plan, or (vi) lodge complaints with the competent supervisory authorities in Participant’s jurisdiction. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, Participant understands that Participant can contact his or her local human resources representative.

5. | No Advice Regarding Grant. The Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding Participant’s

​

16

participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

6. | Imposition of Other Requirements. The Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

7. | Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. By participating in the Plan, Participant agrees to comply with the Corporation’s policy on insider trading (to the extent that it is applicable to Participant). Participant further acknowledges that, depending on Participant’s or the broker’s country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Stock, during such times Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Corporation as defined by the laws or regulations in Participant’s country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Participant places before Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Participant understands that third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Corporation insider trading policy. Participant acknowledges that it is Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that Participant should therefore consult Participant’s personal advisor on this matter.

8. | Foreign Asset/Account Reporting; Exchange Controls. Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and/or exchange controls which may affect Participant’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside Participant’s country. Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.

9. | Language. If Participant is resident in a country where English is not an official language, Participant acknowledges that the Participant is sufficiently proficient in English to

​

17

understand the terms and conditions of the Agreement or has had the ability to consult with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in the English language. The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that it is Participant’s express intent that the Agreement, the Addendum and the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units be drawn up in English. If Participant has received the Agreement, the Addendum or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

10. | Annex to Addendum. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or Addendum to the contrary, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such special terms and conditions for Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as are set forth in the annex to this Addendum (the “Annex”). Further, if Participant transfers residency and/or employment to another country, the Corporation may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate Participant’s transfer. In all circumstances, the Annex shall constitute part of this Addendum.

​

18

ANNEX

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex have the meanings set forth in the Agreement (including the Addendum) or the Plan.

Australia

1. | Tax Notification. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (the “Act”) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).

2. | Offer Document. The Corporation is pleased to provide this offer to participate in the Plan. This offer document sets out information regarding the award for Australian-resident Participants (“Australian Participants”).

| 1. | the Plan; and

| 2. | the Plan Prospectus describing the terms of the Plan (the “Plan Prospectus”); and

​

These additional documents provide further information to help Participant make an informed investment decision about participating in the Plan. Neither the Plan nor the Plan Prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001.

Participant should not rely upon any oral statements made in relation to this offer. Participant should rely only upon the statements contained in the Agreement and the additional documents when considering participation in the Plan.

General Information Only

Any information given by the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate in relation to the Restricted Stock Units is general and does not take into account an Australian Participant’s objectives, financial situation and needs. Australian Participants should consider obtaining their own financial product advice from an independent person who is licensed by ASIC to give such advice.

​

19

Acquisition Price

No acquisition price is payable by Participant for the Corporation to grant Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Agreement or for Participant to acquire shares of Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

Shares of Stock

A share of common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to an ordinary share of an Australian Corporation. Each holder of a share of common stock is entitled to one vote for every share held.

The shares of Stock are traded on Cboe BZX in the United States of America under the symbol “CBOE”.

Shares of Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Corporation and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.

Risks of Acquiring Shares of Stock

This paragraph provides Australian Participants with general information about the risks of acquiring and holding shares of Stock. Before accepting the grant of Restricted Stock Units, Australian Participants should satisfy themselves that they have a sufficient understanding of these matters and should consider whether shares of Stock are a suitable investment for them, having regard to their own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position.

(a)Price of shares of Stock may fluctuate: The price at which a share of Stock is quoted on the Cboe BZX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. Some of the factors that may affect the price of the shares of Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Corporation operates and general operational and business risks.

More information about potential factors that could affect the Corporation’s business and financial results is included in the Corporation’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Copies of these forms are available at http://www.sec.gov/ and upon request to the Corporation.

In addition, Participant should be aware that the value of the shares of Stock Participant may acquire will be affected by the U.S./Australian dollar exchange rate. Participation in the Plan involves certain risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.

(b)Trading in shares of Stock may not be liquid: There can be no guarantee that an active market in shares of Stock will continue or that the price of shares of Stock will increase. The number of potential buyers or sellers of shares of Stock on the Cboe BZX

​

20

may vary at any time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of shares of Stock. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their shares of Stock. This may result in shareholders receiving a market price for their shares of Stock that is less than the price that shareholders paid.

(c)Risk of dilution: In the future, the Corporation may elect to issue stock (or securities convertible into stock) including in connection with fundraisings for acquisitions that the Corporation may decide to make. Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such issues of stock or securities or such issues may reduce the market price of shares of Stock.

(d)Dividends on shares of Stock: The Corporation may pay dividends on shares of Stock. Payment of future dividends, and the timing and amount of any dividends the Corporation determines to pay, are at the discretion of the Board.

Market Price of shares of Stock in Australian Dollars

An Australian Participant can, from time to time, ascertain the market price of the shares of Stock by obtaining that price from the Corporation website or The Wall Street Journal. The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at the website of the Reserve Bank of Australia (http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html).

This will not be a prediction of what the market price per share will be when the Restricted Stock Units vest and the shares of Stock are issued or of the applicable exchange rate on the actual vesting date or the date the shares of Stock are issued.

Canada

1. | Settlement of Restricted Stock Units: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or any related document, if Participant is resident or employed in Canada, the Corporation shall have absolute discretion to settle the Restricted Stock Units in shares of Stock or in the form of a cash payment or in any combination of the foregoing.

​

2. | Securities Law Notification: Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is permitted to sell shares of Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, provided the resale of shares of Stock takes place outside of Canada through facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed. The shares of Stock currently are listed on Cboe BZX in the United States.

​

3. | Termination of Employment: Except as may be determined by the Committee and except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, for purposes of Section 4(d) of the Agreement, Participant’s Service will be considered terminated as of the date Participant ceases to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if different, the Affiliate to which Participant provides Service) for any reason, whether lawful or otherwise (including, without limitation, by reason of resignation, death, frustration of contract, termination for cause, termination without cause, or constructive dismissal), without regard to any pay in lieu of notice (whether by way of lump sum or salary continuance), benefits continuance, or other termination related payments or benefits, whether pursuant to the common law or otherwise, to which Participant may then be

​

21

| entitled (the “Termination Date”). In the event that the Termination Date cannot reasonably be determined under the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, the Committee and its delegate shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Termination Date occurs for purposes of the Plan (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing Service while on any leave of absence).

​

Unless otherwise extended by the Corporation, or as may be required to satisfy the minimum requirements of applicable employment or labour standards legislation, any portion of the award that is not vested on the Termination Date shall terminate immediately and be null and void, and Participant will have no entitlement to further vesting in the Restricted Stock Units or compensation in lieu thereof following the Termination Date, and Participant waives any claim to damages in respect thereof whether related or attributable to any contractual or common law termination entitlements or otherwise. For additional clarity, if applicable employment or labour standards legislation specifically requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be allowed to continue for that minimum notice period but then immediately terminate effective as of the last day of Participant’s minimum statutory notice period.

The Agreement, the Plan and other incidental communication materials have not been prepared in accordance with and are not intended to constitute a “prospectus” for a public offering of securities under the applicable securities legislation in Hong Kong.

Netherlands

| 1. | Exclusion of Claim: Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from Participant ceasing to have rights under the Plan, whether or not as a result of termination of Participant’s Service (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss of diminution in value of the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably such entitlement.

1. | Securities Law Information. The grant of the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”). The Plan has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore

​

23

United Kingdom (Including Northern Ireland)

1. | Payment of Withholding Taxes. The following provision supplements the section of the Agreement titled “Payment of Withholding Taxes”:

Without limitation to the section of the Agreement titled ‘Payment of Withholding Taxes’, Participant agrees that Participant is liable for all income tax and employee national insurance contributions or other social contributions or withholding taxes (“Tax-Related Items”) and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Corporation, the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Corporation and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on Participant’s behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that Participant is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by Participant within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. Participant acknowledges that Participant ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC

​

24

under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Corporation or the Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Corporation and/or the Employer may recover from Participant at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in section of the Agreement titled “Payment of Withholding Taxes”.

2. | Exclusion of Claim. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from Participant’s ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Restricted Stock Units, whether or not as a result of termination of Service (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units. Upon the award of the Restricted Stock Units, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.

3. | Section 2 of the Addendum. Section 2 of the Addendum (Participants in the European Union) shall not apply to the Restricted Stock Units.
