Exhibit 10(i)
STRYKER CORPORATION
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
1.The Options to purchase Shares of Stryker Corporation (the "Company") granted to
you during 2026 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Nonstatutory Stock Options
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. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions,
"Employer" means the Company or any Subsidiary that employs you on the applicable date, 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.Upon the termination of your employment with your Employer, your right to exercise
the Options shall be only as follows:
(a)If your employment is terminated by reason of Disability (as such term is
defined in the 2011 Plan) or death, you, your legal representative or your estate shall have the right,
for a period of one (1) year following such termination, to exercise the Options with respect to all or
any part of the Shares subject thereto, regardless of whether the right to purchase such Shares had
vested on or before the date of your termination by Disability or death.
(b)If your employment is terminated by reason of Retirement (as such term is
defined in the 2011 Plan) prior to the date that your Options become fully vested, you will continue
to vest in your Options in accordance with the vesting schedule as set forth in the award letter as if
you had continued your employment with your Employer. You (or your estate in the event of your
death after your termination by Retirement) shall have the right, at any time on or prior to the 10th
anniversary of the grant date, to exercise the vested portion of the Options.
(c)If you cease to be an Employee for any reason other than those provided in (a)
or (b) above, you or your estate (in the event of your death after such termination) may, within the
30-day period following such termination, exercise the Options with respect to only such number of
Shares as to which the right of exercise had vested on or before the Termination Date. If you are
resident or employed in the United States, "Termination Date" shall mean the last day on which you
are an Employee of your Employer. In conjunction with the foregoing and for the sake of clarity, any
period of services as an independent contractor following your Termination Date shall not extend
your employment period beyond your Termination Date, regardless of whether you are reclassified
as a common law employee. If you are resident or employed outside of the United States,
"Termination Date" shall mean the last day on which you are an Employee of your Employer,
provided that (1) your notice period is 12 months or less, or (2) your employment ends less than 12
months after the date on which you signed your termination agreement. Other than Section 16
officers (as defined below), if your notice period exceeds 12 months, then "Termination Date" will
be 12 months after the date on which notice was given, whether it be by you or your Employer. If
your employment ends more than 12 months after you signed your termination agreement, then
“Termination Date” will be 12 months after the date on which you signed your termination
agreement. If you are an officer of the Company and in such capacity are subject to reporting under
Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a “Section 16 officer”) on the date on which
notice was given, "Termination Date" shall mean the last day on which you are an Employee of your
Employer.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options shall not be exercisable in whole or
in part (i) after the 10th anniversary of the grant date or (ii) except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof
or in the event of termination of employment because of Disability, Retirement or death, unless you
Exhibit 10(i)
shall have continued in the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for one (1) year following
the date of grant of the Options.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are eligible for Retirement but cease to
be an Employee for any other reason before you retire, the right to exercise the Options shall be
determined as if your employment ceased by reason of Retirement.
(f)If you are both an Employee and a Director, the provisions of this Section 2
shall not apply until such time as you are neither an Employee nor a Director.
3.The number of Shares subject to the Options and the price to be paid therefor
shall be subject to adjustment and the term and exercise 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 Options 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 Options shall also be appropriately
amended as to price and other terms 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 Common Stock shall have been exchanged, then if the
Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment
in the Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.
(b)Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the Options may be settled
in cash or otherwise as the Committee 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 Committee shall have the power to amend the Options to permit the
exercise of the Options (and to terminate any unexercised Options) prior to the effectiveness of (i)
any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company or your Employer, (ii) the
shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company or your Employer, or (iii) the
merger or consolidation of the Company or your Employer with or into any other unrelated
corporation.
4.To exercise the Options, you must complete the on-line exercise procedures as
established through the Stock Plan Administrator at www.ubs.com/onesource/SYK or by telephone
at +1 860 727 1515 (or such other direct dial-in number that may be established from time to time).
As part of such procedures, you shall be required to specify the number of Shares that you elect to
purchase and the date on which such purchase is to be made, and you shall be required to make full
payment of the Exercise Price. An Option shall not be deemed to have been exercised (i.e., the
exercise date shall not be deemed to have occurred) until the notice of such exercise and payment in
full of the Exercise Price are provided. The exercise date will be defined by the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") trading hours. If an exercise is completed after the market close or on a
weekend, the exercise will be dated the next following trading day.
The Exercise Price may be paid in such manner as the Committee may specify from time to time in its sole
discretion and as established through Stock Plan Administrator, including (but not limited to) the following
methods: (i) by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares
issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of
purchase sufficient to cover the aggregate Exercise Price; (ii) by a broker- assisted cashless exercise transaction
pursuant to which the Stock Plan Administrator loans funds to you to enable you to pay the aggregate Exercise
Price and purchase Shares, and then sells a sufficient [whole] number of the purchased Shares on your behalf to
enable you to repay the aggregate Exercise Price (with the remaining Shares and/or cash then delivered by
Stock Plan Administrator to you) or (iii) cash payment. In cases where you utilize the net exercise arrangement
and the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld or sold, as applicable, is greater than the
Exhibit 10(i)
aggregate Exercise Price, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as
administratively practicable.
5.If you are resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you agree, as a
condition of the grant of the Options, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or
cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds
derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Options) if required by and in
accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and
country of employment, if different). 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 (and country of employment, if different). 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 (and country of employment, if different).
6.If you are resident or employed in a country that is a member of the European Union,
the grant of the Options 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.
7.Regardless of any action the Company and/or your Employer take with respect to any
or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/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 and your Employer (i) make no representations
or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of
the Options, including the grant of the Options, the vesting of the Options, the exercise of the
Options, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Options and the receipt of any
dividends and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Options 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 Employer (or former employer, as
applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.
In connection with the delivery of Shares upon exercise of your Options, if your country of residence (and/or
your country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may
withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Options 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 at the time of
exercise 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 causes adverse consequences to the Company or your Employer, your Employer may
withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares (i) from the proceeds of the
sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory
sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), or (ii)
in cash from your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding
requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your regular salary and/or wages
or any other amounts payable to you by your Employer, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) upon
exercise of the Options unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Board of Directors)
have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company or your
Employer determines, in its sole discretion, should be withheld or collected with respect to such Options. By
accepting these Options, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your
regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related
Items related to the Options and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
Exhibit 10(i)
8.The Options 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.
9.If you were required to sign the "Stryker Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-
Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement" or a similar agreement in order to receive the Options
or have previously signed such an agreement and you breach any non-competition, non-
solicitation or non-disclosure provision or provision as to ownership of inventions contained
therein at any time while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or during the one-year period
following termination of employment, any unexercised portion of the Options shall be rescinded
and you shall return to the Company all Shares that were acquired upon exercise of the Options that
you have not disposed of and the Company shall repay you an amount for each such Share equal to
the lesser of the Exercise Price or the Fair Market Value of a Share at such time. Further, you shall
pay to the Company an amount equal to the profit realized by you (if any) on all Shares that were
acquired upon exercise of the Options that you have disposed of. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the profit shall be the positive difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares at
the time of disposition and the Exercise Price.
10.The Options shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution
and shall be exercisable during your lifetime only by you. If you purport to make any transfer of the
Options, except as aforesaid, the Options and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.
11.The Options shall not be exercisable in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be
obligated to issue any Shares subject to the Options, if such exercise and sale 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 Options 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 Options 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 Options, the Options may not be exercised 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.
12.The grant of the Options shall not confer upon you any right to continue in the employ
of your Employer nor limit in any way the right of your Employer to terminate your employment at
any time. You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the Options until the date of issuance of such Shares.
13.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 Options under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other
right to receive a grant of Options 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, the
vesting provisions and the exercise price. Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011
Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment
with your Employer.
14.Your participation in the 2011 Plan is voluntary. The value of the Options and any
other awards granted under the 2011 Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the
scope of your employment (and your employment contract, if any). Any grant under the 2011 Plan,
including the grant of the Options, is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of
calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, holiday pay,
long-service awards, pension, or retirement benefits or similar payments.
Exhibit 10(i)
15.The Options are granted solely by the Company.  Your Employer and any other
Subsidiary are not a party to these Terms and Conditions, and any rights you may have under these
Terms and Conditions may be raised only against the Company (and may not be raised against your
Employer or any other Subsidiary).
16.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.
17.The Options are Nonstatutory Stock Options and shall not be treated as
Incentive Stock Options.
18.The Company is located at 1941 Stryker Way, Portage, Michigan 49002, U.S.A. and
grants Options under the 2011 Plan to employees of the Company and Subsidiaries in its sole
discretion. In conjunction with the Company's grant of the Options 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 Options, 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, salary, citizenship, job title, any Shares or
directorships held in the Company, and details of all Options or any other equity compensation
awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company
receives from you or your Employer. In granting the Options 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, including, but not limited to, the
Company's outside legal counsel as well as the Company’s auditor. 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 employment or salary; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated
with the 2011 Plan.
(e)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 your local HR manager or the Company's Human Resources
Department.
19.The grant of the Options is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your
country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any
Exhibit 10(i)
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 purchase Shares under the 2011 Plan or provide you with any legal, tax
or financial advice with respect to the grant or exercise of your Options. Investment in Shares
involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase Shares pursuant to the Options, 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 Options 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.
20.All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the Options
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 Options or the 2011 Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the state of
Michigan.
21.The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to
the Options 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.
22.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.
23.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 Options be drawn up
in English. If you have received these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan or any other documents
related to the Options 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.
24.You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker's country of residence or
where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse
laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to
Shares (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times you are considered to
have "inside information" regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in your
country of employment (and country of residence, if different). Local insider trading laws and
regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed
inside information. Furthermore, you 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. 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 Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your
responsibility to comply with any restrictions and are advised to speak to your personal advisor on
this matter.
25.Notwithstanding any provisions of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the
Options shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and
country of employment, if different) set forth in an addendum to these Terms and Conditions (an
"Addendum"). Further, if you transfer your residence and/or employment 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.
Exhibit 10(i)
26.The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Options, any
Shares acquired pursuant to the Options 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.
27.This Section 27 applies only to those persons whom the Company's
Recoupment Policy applies (the corporate officers elected by the Company's Board of
Directors other than Assistant Controllers, Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers).
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, you
acknowledge and agree that your Options, any Shares acquired pursuant thereto and/or any
amount received with respect to any sale of such Shares are subject to potential cancellation,
recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of the Company's
Recoupment Policy as in effect on the date of grant (a copy of which has been furnished to you) and
as the Recoupment Policy may be amended from time to time in order to comply with changes in
laws, rules or regulations that are applicable to such Options and Shares. You agree and consent to
the Company's application, implementation and enforcement of (a) the Recoupment Policy and (b)
any provision of applicable law relating to cancellation, recoupment, rescission or payback of
compensation and expressly agree that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to
effectuate the Recoupment Policy (as applicable to you) or applicable law without further consent
or action being required by you. For purposes of the foregoing, you expressly and explicitly
authorize the Company to issue instructions, on your behalf, to the Stock Plan Administrator and
any other brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your
Shares and other amounts acquired under the 2011 Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return
such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company. In the case of a conflict between these Terms
and Conditions and the Recoupment Policy, the terms of the Recoupment Policy shall prevail.
28.This Section 28 applies only to those persons whom the Company's clawback
policy applies. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the
Options evidenced by these Terms and Conditions may be subject to (i) recoupment in accordance
with or in order to comply with the terms and provisions of the Company's clawback policy, as may
be in effect from time to time (including, but not limited to, the Mandatory Clawback Policy), to the
extent such policies are applicable to you and (ii) any other compensation recovery policy adopted
after the Options are granted to facilitate compliance with applicable law, including in response to
the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s
final rules thereunder, and any applicable listing rules or other rules and regulations implementing
the foregoing. For purposes of the foregoing, you expressly and explicitly authorize the Company to
issue instructions, on your behalf, to the Stock Plan Administrator and any other brokerage firm
and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your Shares and other amounts
acquired under the 2011 Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other
amounts to the Company.
29.By accepting the grant of Options, you acknowledge that you have read these
Terms and Conditions, the Addendum to these Terms and Conditions (as applicable) and the
2011 Plan and specifically accept and agree to the provisions therein.
***********************
Exhibit 10(i)
STRYKER CORPORATION
ADDENDUM TO
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
In addition to the terms of the 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions, the Options are subject to the
following additional terms and conditions (the "Addendum"). The information reflected in this
Addendum is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective
countries as of November 2025. All capitalized terms as contained in this Addendum shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions. Pursuant to Section 25 of the Terms
and Conditions, if you transfer your residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an

Administrator are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual
obligations to you if your personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company's legal
basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual
obligations to you and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU

required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws.
When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its
systems. If the Company keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory
obligations and the Company's legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or
regulations.

1.Waiver of Termination Rights. As a condition to the grant of the Options, you
hereby waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of
your employment with the Company and your Employer for any reason whatsoever, insofar as
those rights result or may result from (a) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or

NEW ZEALAND
1.WARNING. You are being offered Options in Stryker Corporation. If the Company
runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you may lose some or all your investment. New
Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to
investors before they invest. This requires those offering financial products to have disclosed
information that is important for investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not
apply to this offer because it is an offer made under the Employee Share Scheme exemption. As a
result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other
legal protections for this investment. You should ask questions, read all documents carefully,
and seek independent financial advice before accepting the offer. The Company's Shares are
currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SYK" and Shares
acquired under the 2011 Plan may be sold through this exchange. You may end up selling the
Shares at a price that is lower than the value of the Shares when you acquired them. The price
will depend on the demand for the Company's Shares. The Company's most recent annual report
(which includes the Company's financial statements) is available at https://investors.stryker.com/
financial-information/annual-reports/default.aspx. You are entitled to receive a copy of this
report, free of charge, upon written request to the Company at
STOCKPLANADMINISTRATION@STRYKER.COM.
POLAND
1.Exchange Control Information. If you maintain bank or brokerage accounts
holding cash and foreign securities (including Shares) outside of Poland, you will be required to
report information to the National Bank of Poland on transactions and balances in such
accounts if the value of such cash and securities exceeds PLN 7 million. If required, such reports
must be filed on special forms available on the website of the National Bank of Poland. Further,
any transfer of funds in excess of a certain threshold (generally, €15,000) into or out of Poland
Exhibit 10(i)
must be effected through a bank account in Poland. Finally, you are required to store all
documents connected with any foreign exchange transactions that you engage in for a period of

The grant of the Options under the 2011 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
2011 Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

such information is generally available.
SOUTH AFRICA
1.Withholding Taxes. In addition to the provisions of Section 7 of the Terms and
Conditions, you agree to notify your Employer in South Africa of the amount of any gain realized
upon exercise of the Options. If you fail to advise your Employer of the gain realized upon
exercise, you may be liable for a fine. You will be responsible for paying any difference between
the actual tax liability and the amount withheld.
2.Exchange Control Obligations. You are solely responsible for complying with
applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the "Exchange Control Regulations") in
South Africa. As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, you
should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the 2011 Plan
to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply
with applicable laws. 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.

Options nor the underlying Shares shall be publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in

foreign exchange bank, provided the proceeds are in excess of USD5,000 (per transaction)
and deposited into a non-Korean bank account. A report may not be required if proceeds

are deposited into a non-Korean brokerage account. It is your responsibility to ensure
compliance with any applicable exchange control reporting obligations.  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.

financial accounts (e.g., non-Korean bank accounts, brokerage accounts) to the Korean tax
authority and file a report with respect to such accounts in June of the following year if
the monthly balance of such accounts exceeds KRW 500 million (or an equivalent amount
in foreign currency) on any month-end date during a calendar year. You should consult
with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax

SPAIN
1.Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the 2011 Plan; No Vested Rights. In
accepting the Options, you acknowledge that you consent to participation in the 2011 Plan and
have received a copy of the 2011 Plan. You understand that the Company has unilaterally,
gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Options under the 2011 Plan to individuals who
may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a
limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant
will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing
basis. Consequently, you understand that the Options are granted on the assumption and
condition that the Options and the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options shall not
become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)
and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance
compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that this grant would
not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above. Thus, you
acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should
any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Options shall be null and void.  You
understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the Options, any unvested Options as of
the date you cease active employment and any vested portion of the Options not exercised
within the post- termination exercise period set out in the Terms and Conditions will be
forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in
the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, (i) material
modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute or (ii)
relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statute. You acknowledge that you have read and
specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Terms and Conditions regarding the impact
of a termination of employment on your Options.
2.Exchange Control Information. If you hold 10% or more of the Share capital of the
Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Company's board of directors,
the acquisition, ownership and disposition of such Shares must be declared for statistical
purposes to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the Bureau for Commerce
and Investments), which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. The
declaration (via Form 6) must be made in January for Shares acquired or disposed of during the
prior calendar year and/or for Shares owned as of December 31 of the prior calendar year;
provided, if the value of the Shares acquired or sold exceeds €1,502,530, the declaration
must be filed within one month of the acquisition or disposition of the Shares, as applicable.
Exhibit 10(i)
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.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. To the extent you hold rights or
assets (e.g., cash or the Shares held in a bank or brokerage account) outside of Spain with a value
in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset as of December 31 each year (or at any time
during the year in which you sell or dispose of such right or asset), you are required to report
information on such rights and assets on your tax return for such year. After such rights or
assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the
value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000 per type of
right or asset as of each subsequent December 31, or if you sell Shares or cancel bank accounts
that were previously reported. Failure to comply with this reporting requirement may result in
penalties to the Spanish residents. In addition, you may be required to electronically declare to
the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign
instruments (including Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan), and any transactions with non-
Spanish residents (including any payments of Shares made pursuant to the 2011 Plan),
depending on the balances in such accounts together with the value of such instruments as of
December 31 of the relevant year, or the volume of transactions with non-Spanish residents
during the relevant year. 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.

(d)for a person mentioned in column 2 of item 3 or 4 of the table in section C
above - the person proves that they publicly withdrew their consent to being

17.WHAT ARE THE U.S. TAXATION CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN?
Participants will not be subject to U.S. tax consequences by reason only of the acquisition of
Shares and/or the sale of Shares.  However, liability to U.S. taxes may accrue if the Eligible
Participants are otherwise subject to U.S. taxes.
Again, the above is an indication only of the likely U.S. tax consequences for Eligible
Participants who accept Options granted under the Plan.  Employees should seek advice as
to the U.S. taxation consequences of participation from their personal tax advisers.

STRYKER CORPORATION
Exhibit 10(i)
EXHIBIT B
STRYKER CORPORATION
2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYER INFORMATION STATEMENT – DENMARK
STOCK OPTION GRANT
Pursuant to section 3(1) of the Danish Act on the Use of Rights to Purchase or Subscribe for Shares
etc. in Employment Relationships (the "Stock Option Act"), Stryker Corporation (the “Company”)
is providing you with the following information regarding the Company’s stock option (“Option”)
grant in a separate written statement. This statement contains only the information mentioned in
the Stock Option Act; the other terms and conditions of your Option grant are described in detail
in the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated  (the "2011
Plan"), the Terms and Conditions Related to Nonstatutory Stock Options Granted Pursuant to the
2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Option Agreement”) and the CEO Award Letter for the
Option grant, all of which have been provided to you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Stock Option Act only applies to Options granted under the 2011 Plan to
employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and does not apply to individuals, including
managers, who are not regarded as "employees" as defined under the Stock Option Act. If you are
not an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries within the meaning of the Stock Option
Act, this Employer Information Statement shall not apply to you, you may not rely upon any of the
information contained herein and the provisions described herein shall be void and ineffective.
1.Date of Grant
The Grant Date of the Option is the date that the Compensation and Human Capital
Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved a grant for you and
determined it would be effective.
2.Terms and Conditions of the Grant
The grant of the Option is made at the sole discretion of the Committee.  In its assessment,
the Committee has considered a number of factors in granting the Options to you, including
(but not limited to) the Company’s latest annual results, your personal performance and
your value for the future growth, development and operation of the Company. 
Notwithstanding your personal performance and the development of the Company, the
Company may decide, in its sole discretion, not to grant an Option to you in the future. 
Under the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, you have no entitlement or claim to receive
future Option grants.
3.Vesting Dates and Exercise Period
Your Option shall vest over a period of time (“vesting period”), provided you remain
employed by or in the service of the Company or a Subsidiary and any performance or
other vesting conditions set forth in the Plan and the Agreements are satisfied, unless the
Exhibit 10(i)
Option is vested or terminated earlier for the reasons set forth in the Plan and the
Agreements and subject to Section 5 of this statement.
4.Exercise Price
During the Option exercise period, your Option can be exercised to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock at a price corresponding to the fair market value of the stock at
the time of grant, as determined by the Company.
5.Your Rights upon Termination
The treatment of your Option awards upon termination of your employment will be
determined in accordance with the following unless the terms contained in the Agreement
and in the 2011 Plan are more favorable to you. 
Your Option will survive and will not be forfeited if your employment is terminated by your
employer for any reason other than your breach of contract (as determined under Danish
law) or summary dismissal. This means that you may be entitled to continue to vest in the
Option award as if you were still an employee in accordance with your Agreement and the
2011 Plan. Also, you may be entitled to receive an additional Option grant, proportionate to
the length of your employment in the accounting year in which your employment is
terminated, to which you would have been entitled according to agreement or custom had
you still been employed at the end of the accounting year. This provision will not apply if
the termination is due to your breach of your employment contract or in case of your
justified summary dismissal, in which case the Option will lapse to the extent the Option
has not vested on the effective date of termination of your employment. Such lapse will
take place automatically without notice on the effective date of termination of your
employment.
If you terminate your employment due to your employer's material breach (as determined
under Danish law), or if your employment terminates because you reach the age of
retirement for employees of your employer or because you are entitled to receive old-age
pension from the Danish state or your employer, the Option award shall continue on
unchanged terms as if you had still been employed. Also, you may be entitled to receive an
additional Option grant, proportionate to the length of your employment in the accounting
year in which your employment is terminated, to which you would have been entitled
according to agreement or custom had you still been employed at the end of the accounting
year or at the date of grant.
If you terminate your employment for other reasons,  your Option award will be forfeited
as per the effective date of termination of your employment unless otherwise set out in the
terms of the Agreement. In addition, you will be ineligible to receive any additional Option
grants after your resignation.
6.Financial Aspects of Participating in the 2011 Plan
Exhibit 10(i)
The Option grant has no immediate financial consequences for you. The value of the Option
award will not be taken into account when calculating holiday allowances, pension
contributions or other statutory consideration calculated on the basis of salary. The tax
treatment of the Option award depends on a number of aspects and thus, you are
encouraged to seek particular advice regarding your tax position.
Shares of stock are financial instruments and investing in stock will always have financial
risk. The possibility of profit at the time of vesting will not only be dependent on the
Company’s financial development, but inter alia also on the general development of the
stock market. In addition, before or after you vest in your Option award, the shares of
Company stock could decrease in value even below the price of such stock on the Date of
Grant.
7.Other Issues
Apart from Clause 5 in this Statement (regarding your rights upon termination of
employment), this Statement does not intend to alter any provisions of the 2011 Plan or the
Agreement (or any related document), and the 2011 Plan and the Agreement (and any
related document) shall prevail in case of any ambiguities. However, your mandatory rights
under the Stock Option Act shall prevail in case of any ambiguities.

Exhibit 10(i)
STRYKER CORPORATION
2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, SOM REVIDERET OG GENFREMSAT
ARBEJDSGIVERERKLÆRING – DANMARK
TILDELING AF AKTIEOPTIONER
I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret til aktier m.v. i ansættelsesforhold
("Aktieoptionsloven") giver Stryker Corporation ("Selskabet") dig hermed i en særskilt skriftlig
erklæring følgende oplysninger om Selskabets tildeling af aktieoptioner ("Optioner"). Denne
erklæring indeholder kun de oplysninger, der er nævnt i Aktieoptionsloven. De øvrige vilkår og
betingelser for din Optionstildeling er nærmere beskrevet i Selskabets 2011 Long-Term Incentive
Plan, som revideret og genfremsat  ("2011-Planen"), Terms and Conditions Related to Nonstatutory
Stock Options Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Optionsaftalen"), og CEO-
tildelingsbrevene vedrørende henholdsvis Optionstildelingen, hvilke dokumenter alle er blevet
udleveret til dig.
VIGTIGT: Aktieoptionsloven gælder kun for Optioner, der i henhold til 2011-Planen er tildelt til
lønmodtagere i Selskabet og dets Datterselskaber, og gælder ikke for personer, herunder ledere,
der ikke anses for at være "lønmodtagere" som defineret i Aktieoptionsloven. Hvis du ikke er
lønmodtager i Selskabet eller i et af dets Datterselskaber i Aktieoptionslovens forstand, gælder
denne Arbejdsgivererklæring ikke for dig, hvorfor du ikke vil kunne henholde dig til nogen af
oplysningerne heri, og de heri anførte bestemmelser vil ikke have virkning.
1.Tidspunkt for tildeling
Tidspunktet for Optionstildelingen er den dato, hvor det af Bestyrelsen nedsatte Udvalg for
Vederlag og Menneskelig Kapital ("Udvalget") godkendte tildelingen til dig og besluttede, at
den skulle træde i kraft.
2.Kriterier og betingelser for tildeling
Optionstildelingen sker alene efter Udvalgets eget skøn.  Udvalget har i sin vurdering
inddraget en række faktorer i forbindelse med Optionstildelingen til dig, herunder (men
ikke begrænset til) Selskabets seneste årsresultat, din personlige performance og din
betydning for Selskabets fremtidige vækst, udvikling og drift.  Uanset din personlige
performance og Selskabets udvikling kan Selskabet frit vælge ikke at tildele dig Optioner
fremover.  I henhold til bestemmelserne i Planen og Aftalen har du ikke nogen ret til eller
noget krav på fremover at modtage Options tildelinger.
3.Modningstidspunkter og udnyttelsesperiode
Din Option modnes over en periode ("modningsperioden"), forudsat at du fortsat er ansat i
eller arbejder for Selskabet eller et Datterselskab, og forudsat at alle de i Planen og
Aftalerne beskrevne performance- og modningsbetingelser er opfyldt, medmindre
Optionen modnes eller bortfalder på et tidligere tidspunkt som følge af de i Planen og
Aftalerne anførte årsager og med forbehold for pkt. 5 i denne erklæring.
4.Udnyttelseskurs
Exhibit 10(i)
I udnyttelsesperioden for Optioner kan din Option udnyttes til køb af ordinære aktier i
Selskabet til en kurs svarende til aktiernes markedsværdi på tildelingstidspunktet som
fastsat af Selskabet.
5.Din retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden
I forbindelse med din fratræden vil dine Optionstildelinger blive behandlet som følger,
medmindre vilkårene i Aftalen og i 2011-Planen er mere fordelagtige for dig. 
Din Option bortfalder ikke, hvis din fratræden skyldes opsigelse fra din arbejdsgivers side,
medmindre der er tale om misligholdelse fra din side (som defineret i dansk ret) eller
bortvisning. Dette betyder, at du måske vil være berettiget til, at din Option fortsat modnes
i overensstemmelse med din Aftale og 2011-Planen, som om du stadig var ansat. Endvidere
vil du måske være berettiget til at modtage en yderligere Optionstildeling, som beregnes
forholdsmæssigt i forhold til, hvor længe du er ansat i det regnskabsår, hvori du fratræder,
og som du ville have været berettiget til i henhold til aftale eller sædvane, såfremt du stadig
havde været ansat ved udgangen af regnskabsåret. Denne bestemmelse gælder ikke,
såfremt din fratræden skyldes opsigelse på grund af din misligholdelse af
ansættelseskontrakten eller berettiget bortvisning, i hvilket tilfælde Optionen bortfalder, i
det omfang de ikke er modnet ved ansættelsesforholdets ophør. Bortfaldet sker automatisk
uden varsel ved ansættelsesforholdets ophør.
Hvis du fratræder din stilling som følge af væsentlig misligholdelse fra din arbejdsgivers
side (som defineret i dansk ret), eller hvis du fratræder, fordi du når pensionsalderen for
lønmodtagere hos din arbejdsgiver, eller fordi du har ret til at modtage alderspension fra
den danske stat eller din arbejdsgiver, vil din Optionstildeling fortsætte på uændrede
vilkår, som om du stadig var ansat.  Endvidere vil du måske være berettiget til at modtage
en yderligere Optionstildeling, som beregnes forholdsmæssigt i forhold til, hvor længe du
er ansat i det regnskabsår, hvori du fratræder, og som du ville have været berettiget til i
henhold til aftale eller sædvane, såfremt du stadig havde været ansat ved udgangen af
regnskabsåret eller på tildelingstidspunktet.
Hvis du fratræder din stilling af andre årsager, vil din Optionstildeling bortfalde ved
ansættelsesforholdets ophør, medmindre andet fremgår af Aftalen. Endvidere vil du ikke
være berettiget til at få tildelt yderligere Optioner efter din fratræden.
6.Økonomiske aspekter ved at deltage i 2011-Planen
Optionstildelingen har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for dig. Værdien af
Optionstildelingen indgår ikke i beregningen af feriepenge, pensionsbidrag eller andre
lovpligtige, vederlagsafhængige ydelser. Den skattemæssige behandling af
Optionstildelingen afhænger af flere forhold, og du opfordres derfor til at søge særskilt
rådgivning vedrørende din skattemæssige situation.
Aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i aktier vil altid være forbundet med en
økonomisk risiko. Muligheden for en gevinst på modningstidspunktet afhænger ikke alene
af Selskabets økonomiske udvikling, men også af bl.a. den generelle udvikling på
Exhibit 10(i)
aktiemarkedet. Derudover kan værdien af Selskabets aktier både før og efter modningen af
din Optionstildeling falde til en værdi, der måske endda ligger under kursen på
tildelingstidspunktet.
7.Øvrige oplysninger
Med undtagelse af pkt. 5 i denne erklæring (vedrørende din retsstilling i forbindelse med
fratræden) har denne erklæring ikke til formål at ændre nogen af bestemmelserne i 2011-
Planen eller Aftalen (eller i tilhørende dokumenter), og 2011-Planen og Aftalen (og
eventuelle tilhørende dokumenter) har forrang i tilfælde af uoverensstemmelser. Dine
ufravigelige rettigheder i henhold til Aktieoptionsloven har dog forrang i tilfælde af
uklarhed.
