STRYKER CORPORATION		2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General Information

Management believes the accompanying unaudited Consolidated

Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal

recurring items, considered necessary to fairly present the

financial position of Stryker Corporation and its consolidated

subsidiaries ("Stryker," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") on

June 30, 2025 and the results of operations for the three and six

months 2025. The results of operations included in these

Consolidated Financial Statements may not necessarily be

indicative of our annual results. These statements should be read

in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024 the Financial Accounting Standards Board

(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03

(Subtopic 220-40): Income Statement - Reporting

Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into

specified categories in disclosures within the Notes to the

Consolidated Financial Statements. The new disclosure

requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

We are currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure

requirements.

In December 2023 the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (Topic 740):

Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which

expands the existing rules on income tax disclosures. This

update requires entities to disclose specific categories in the tax

rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling

items that meet a quantitative threshold and disclose additional

information about income taxes paid on an annual basis. The

new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2024 and we will adopt this ASU in

the fourth quarter 2025.

We evaluate all ASUs issued by the FASB for consideration of

their applicability. ASUs not included in our disclosures were

assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not

expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial

Statements.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

Our policies for recognizing sales have not changed from those

described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024.

We disaggregate our net sales by business and geographic

location for each of our segments as we believe it best depicts

how the nature, amount, timing and certainty of our net sales and

cash flows are affected by economic factors.

In the first quarter 2025 we changed the name of our

Neurovascular business to Vascular due the acquisition of Inari

Medical, Inc. (Inari).

In the fourth quarter 2024 we reorganized our Spine business to

align with certain updates to our internal reporting structure. The

spine enabling technologies portfolio (Enabling Technologies)

was reclassified to Other Orthopaedics and Spine, the

interventional spine (IVS) portfolio was reclassified to Neuro

Cranial and the remaining Spine business was renamed to Spinal

Implants. In addition we changed the name of our “Orthopaedics

and Spine” operating segment to “Orthopaedics.” Neuro Cranial

includes sales related to IVS of $129 and $98 for the three

months 2025 and 2024 and $247 and $196 for the six months

2025 and 2024. Other Orthopaedics includes sales related to

Enabling Technologies of $34 and $31 for the three months 2025

and 2024 and $63 and $62 for the six months 2025 and 2024.

We have reflected these changes in all historical periods

presented.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

We typically do not incur costs to fulfill a contract before a

product or service is provided to a customer due to the nature of

our products and services. Our costs to obtain contracts are

typically in the form of sales commissions paid to employees or

third-party agents. Certain sales commissions paid to employees

prior to recognition of sales are recorded as deferred contract

costs. We expense sales commissions associated with obtaining

a contract at the time of the sale or as incurred as the

amortization period is generally less than one year. These costs

have been presented within selling, general and administrative

expenses. On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 deferred

contracts costs recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets

were not significant.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Our contract assets primarily relate to conditional rights to

consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting

date. On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 contract assets

recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were not

significant.

Our contract liabilities arise as a result of consideration received

from customers at inception of contracts for certain businesses or

where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of

our performance obligations. This occurs primarily when payment

is received upfront for certain multi-period extended service

contracts. Our contract liabilities of $1,061 and $978 on June 30,

2025 and December 31, 2024 are classified within accrued

expenses and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in

our Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of when

we expect to complete our performance obligations.

Changes in contract liabilities during the six months 2025 were as

follows:


	June 30
	2025
Beginning contract liabilities	$978
Revenue recognized from beginning of year contract liabilities	(348)
Net advance consideration received during the period	431
Ending contract liabilities	$1,061

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets

We sell certain customer lease agreements and the related

leased assets to third-party financial institutions to accelerate our

cash collection cycle. The lease receivables are sold without

recourse and are derecognized from our Consolidated Balance

Sheets at the time of sale. Under the terms of our arrangements,

we collect lease payments on behalf of the financial institutions

but maintain no other form of continuing involvement. Sales of

these lease agreements are classified as operating activities in

our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Fees earned for our

servicing activities are immaterial. Revenue related to customer

lease agreements sold under these arrangements represented

less than 4% of our total revenue for the three and six months

2025 and 2024.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We use operational and economic hedges, foreign currency

exchange forward contracts, net investment hedges (both

derivative and non-derivative financial instruments) and interest

rate derivative instruments to manage the impact of currency

exchange and interest rate fluctuations on earnings, cash flow

and equity. We do not enter into derivative instruments for

speculative purposes. We are exposed to potential credit loss in

the event of nonperformance by counterparties on our

outstanding derivative instruments but do not anticipate

nonperformance by any of our counterparties. Should a

counterparty default, our maximum loss exposure is the asset

balance of the instrument. We have not changed our hedging

strategies, accounting practices or objectives from those

disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024.

Total fair value	$15	$55	$78	$148

We had €2.3 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 in

certain forward currency contracts designated as net investment

hedges, for which the maximum term is 9.2 years, to hedge a

portion of our investments in certain of our entities with functional

currencies denominated in Euros. In addition to these derivative

financial instruments designated as net investment hedges, we

had €5.0 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 of

senior unsecured notes designated as net investment hedges to

selectively hedge portions of our investment in certain

international subsidiaries. The currency effects of our Euro-

denominated senior unsecured notes are reflected in AOCI within

shareholders' equity where they offset gains and losses recorded

on our net investment in international subsidiaries.

In the six months 2024 we settled certain foreign currency

forward contracts designated as net investment hedges resulting

in cash proceeds of $99. The amounts in AOCI related to settled

net investment hedges will remain in AOCI until the hedged

investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

The total after-tax gain (loss) recognized in OCI related to

designated net investment hedges was ($699) in the six months

2025.

Non- Designated	Other income (expense), net	15	10	28	13
	Total	$29	$28	$55	$49

Pretax gains (losses) on derivatives designated as cash flow

hedges of $29 and net investment hedges of $38 recorded in

AOCI are expected to be reclassified to cost of sales and other

income (expense), net in earnings within 12 months of June 30,

2025. This cash flow hedge reclassification is primarily due to the

sale of inventory that includes previously hedged purchases. A

component of the AOCI amounts related to net investment

hedges is reclassified over the life of the hedge instruments as

we elected to exclude the initial value of the component related to

the spot-forward difference from the effectiveness assessment.

Interest Rate Hedges

Pretax gains (losses) of $4 recorded in AOCI related to interest

rate hedges closed in conjunction with debt issuances are

expected to be reclassified to other income (expense), net in

earnings within 12 months of June 30, 2025. The cash flow effect

of interest rate hedges is recorded in cash flow from operations.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our policies for managing risk related to foreign currency, interest

rates, credit and markets and our process for determining fair

value have not changed from those described in our Annual

Report on Form 10-K for 2024.

In the six months 2025 we assumed contingent consideration

liabilities with a fair value of $90 related to previous acquisitions

made by Inari Medical Inc. (Inari). Refer to Note 7 for further

information on the acquisition of Inari.

In 2024 we recorded $208 of contingent consideration related to

various acquisitions described in Note 7.

There were no significant transfers into or out of any level of the

fair value hierarchy in 2025.

On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the aggregate

difference between the cost and fair value of available-for-sale

marketable securities was nominal. Interest income on cash and

cash equivalents and short-term investments and income from

marketable securities was $24 and $26 in the three months 2025

and 2024, and $62 in the six months 2025 and 2024, which was

recorded in other income (expense), net.

Our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities had a

minimum credit quality rating of A2 (Moody's), A (Standard &

Poor's) and A (Fitch). We do not plan to sell the investments, and

it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the

investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which

may be maturity.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

We are involved in various ongoing proceedings, legal actions

and claims arising in the normal course of business, including

proceedings related to product, labor, intellectual property and

other matters, the most significant of which are more fully

described below. The outcomes of these matters will generally

not be known for prolonged periods of time. In certain of the legal

proceedings the claimants seek damages as well as other

compensatory and equitable relief that could result in the

payment of significant claims and settlements and/or the

imposition of injunctions or other equitable relief. For legal

matters for which management had sufficient information to

reasonably estimate our future obligations, a liability representing

management's best estimate of the probable loss, or the

minimum of the range of probable losses when a best estimate

within the range is not known, is recorded. The estimates are

based on consultation with legal counsel, previous settlement

experience and settlement strategies. If actual outcomes are less

favorable than those estimated by management, additional

expense may be incurred, which could unfavorably affect future

operating results. We are self-insured for certain claims and

expenses. The ultimate cost to us with respect to product liability

claims could be materially different than the amount of the current

estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse effect

on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We are currently investigating whether certain business activities

in certain foreign countries violated provisions of the Foreign

Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and have engaged outside counsel

to conduct these investigations. We have been contacted by the

United States Securities and Exchange Commission, United

States Department of Justice (DOJ) and certain other regulatory

authorities and are cooperating with these agencies. On April 1,

2025 we were informed by the DOJ that it had closed its inquiry

into potential FCPA violations without further action. At this time

we are unable to predict the outcome of the remaining

investigations or the potential impact, if any, on our financial

statements.

We have conducted voluntary recalls of certain products,

including our Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems

and certain lot-specific sizes and offsets of LFIT Anatomic CoCr

V40 Femoral Heads. Additionally, we are responsible for certain

product liability claims, primarily related to certain hip products

sold by Wright Medical Group N.V. prior to its 2014 divestiture of

the OrthoRecon business.

We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, costs

associated with the defense and settlement of claims and

lawsuits. Based on the information that has been received related

to the matters discussed above, our accrual for these matters

was $164 at June 30, 2025, representing our best estimate of

probable loss. The final outcomes of these matters are

dependent on many factors that are difficult to predict.

Accordingly the ultimate cost related to these matters may be

materially different than the amount of our current estimate and

accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our results

of operations and cash flows.

our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 7 - ACQUISITIONS

We acquire stock in companies and various assets that continue

to support our capital deployment and product development

strategies. In the six months 2025 and 2024 cash paid for

acquisitions, net of cash acquired was $4,814 and $334.

In February 2025 we completed the acquisition of Inari for $80

per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $4,810, net of cash

acquired. Inari's product portfolio includes minimally invasive

products for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. Inari is

part of our Vascular business within MedSurg and

Neurotechnology. The purchase price allocation for Inari is based

on preliminary valuations, primarily related to developed

technology and customer relationships. Goodwill attributable to

the acquisition reflects the strategic benefits of expanding our

market presence, diversifying our product portfolio and advancing

innovations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Share-based awards for Inari employees vested upon our

acquisition and a charge of $139 was recorded in selling, general

and administrative expenses in the six months 2025.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.	9


STRYKER CORPORATION		2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

In 2024 we completed various acquisitions for total consideration

that includes $1,628 in upfront payments, net of cash acquired,

and $400 contingent upon the achievement of certain commercial

or clinical milestones. The combined acquisition-date fair values

of the contingent milestone payments totaled $208. Goodwill of

$303 and $848 was recorded within our Orthopaedics and our

MedSurg and Neurotechnology segments respectively. The

acquired companies expand the product portfolios of our

Instruments, Endoscopy, Medical and Neuro Cranial businesses

within MedSurg and Neurotechnology and our Trauma and

Extremities and Joint Replacement businesses within

Orthopaedics. The purchase price allocation for certain of our

acquisitions are based on preliminary valuations, primarily related

to developed technology and customer relationships. Goodwill

attributable to the acquisitions reflects the strategic benefits of

expanding our market presence, diversifying our product portfolio

and advancing innovations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax

purposes.

The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions completed in

the six months 2025 and full year 2024 are:

NOTE 8 - DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

We have lines of credit issued by various financial institutions that

are available to fund our day-to-day operating needs. Certain of

our credit facilities require us to comply with financial and other

covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants on

June 30, 2025.

In February 2025 we entered into a new revolving credit

agreement that replaces our previous agreement dated October

2021. The primary changes included increasing the aggregate

principal amount of the facility by $750 to $3,000 and extending

the maturity date to February 25, 2030. On June 30, 2025 there

were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility

or our commercial paper program which allows for maturities up

to 397 days from the date of issuance. The maximum amount of

our commercial paper that can be outstanding at any time is

$2,250.

In February 2025 we issued $500 of 4.550% senior unsecured

notes due February 10, 2027, $700 of 4.700% senior unsecured

notes due February 10, 2028, $800 of 4.850% senior unsecured

notes due February 10, 2030 and $1,000 of 5.200% senior

unsecured notes due February 10, 2035. In June 2025 we repaid

$650M of 1.150% senior unsecured notes.

The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was estimated using

quoted interest rates, maturities and amounts of borrowings

based on quoted active market prices and yields that took into

account the underlying terms of the debt instruments.

Substantially all of our debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair

value hierarchy.

Interest expense on outstanding debt and credit facilities,

including required fees incurred, that were included in other

income (expense), net, totaled $159 and $96 for the three

months 2025 and 2024 and $296 and $194 for the six months

2025 and 2024.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates were 13.0% and 13.6% in the three and

six months 2025 and 17.3% and 16.0% in the three and six

months 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three and six

months 2025 decreased from three and six months 2024 due to

2025 tax benefit related to the sale of the Spinal Implants

business. The effective tax rates for the three and six months

2025 and 2024 reflect the continued lower effective income tax

rates as a result of our European operations and certain discrete

tax items.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.	10


STRYKER CORPORATION		2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

In the normal course of business, income tax authorities in

various income tax jurisdictions both within the United States and

internationally conduct routine audits of our income tax returns

filed in prior years. These audits are generally designed to

determine if individual income tax authorities are in agreement

with our interpretations of complex income tax regulations

regarding the allocation of income to the various income tax

jurisdictions. Any income tax audit assessment or draft income

tax audit assessment received at the conclusion of an audit is

reviewed and evaluated for proper financial statement treatment.

We have not received any audit assessments or draft

assessments that have not been reviewed and evaluated.

NOTE 10 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

We segregate our operations into two reportable business

segments: (i) MedSurg and Neurotechnology and (ii)

Orthopaedics which aligns to our internal reporting structure and

how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses the

performance of and allocates resources. The CODM is the Chief

Executive Officer. The CODM makes decisions on resource

allocation, assesses performance of the business, and monitors

budget versus actual results using segment operating income.

Our reportable segments and related disclosures reflect certain

reclassifications of prior year amounts from our Orthopaedics

segment to our MedSurg and Neurotechnology segment due to

changes in our internal reporting structure.

STRYKER CORPORATION		2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

NOTE 11 - SALE OF SPINAL IMPLANTS BUSINESS

During the fourth quarter 2024 management committed to a plan

to sell certain assets associated with the Spinal Implants

business (disposal group) and such assets were classified as

held for sale beginning November 2024. As a result we recorded

a valuation allowance of $362 to record the disposal group at its

fair value less cost to sell.

In April 2025 we completed the sale of the disposal group to the

Viscogliosi Brothers, LLC. In the six months 2025 we recognized

immaterial impairment charges to record the disposal group at its

fair value less cost to sell within goodwill and other impairments

in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The fair value of the

disposal group and consideration received was measured using a

discounted cash flow analysis based upon the selling price and

unobservable inputs, such as market conditions and the rate

used to discount the estimated future cash flows to their present

value based on factors including the disposal group’s cost of

equity and market yield rates, which are Level 3 inputs.

Consideration could increase by up to $57 or decrease by up to

$245 based on the amount received.

The assets associated with the disposal group are reported in our

Orthopaedics segment at December 31, 2024. The assets and

liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2024 are classified within

prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued

expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance

Sheets. The assets and liabilities of the disposal group at the

date of sale and at December 31, 2024 were as follows:


		Held for Sale

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ABOUT STRYKER

Stryker is a global leader in medical technologies and, together

with our customers, we are driven to make healthcare better. We

offer innovative products and services in MedSurg,

Neurotechnology, and Orthopaedics that help improve patient

and healthcare outcomes. Alongside our customers around the

world, we impact more than 150 million patients annually.

We segregate our operations into two reportable business

segments: (i) MedSurg and Neurotechnology and (ii)

Orthopaedics. MedSurg and Neurotechnology products include

surgical equipment and navigation systems (Instruments),

endoscopic and communications systems (Endoscopy), patient

handling, emergency medical equipment and intensive care

disposable products (Medical), minimally invasive products for

the treatment of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and

venous thromboembolism (Vascular), a comprehensive line of

products for traditional brain and open skull based surgical

procedures; orthobiologic and biosurgery products, including

synthetic bone grafts and vertebral augmentation products

(Neuro Cranial). Orthopaedics products consist primarily of

implants used in hip and knee joint replacements and trauma and

extremity surgeries.

Macroeconomic Environment

Beginning in 2025, the United States government has announced

new tariffs on goods imported into the United States from dozens

of countries, including China and the European Union member

states. In response, governments have threatened or imposed

reciprocal tariffs or taken other measures, and the United States

is in the process of negotiating with certain governments. We

continue to monitor and evaluate the situation. Tariffs are

expected to result in an increase in certain product costs or have

adverse impacts on, among other things, demand for our

products and supply chains. The overall macroeconomic and

geopolitical environment, including tariffs or changes in trade

policies, slower economic growth or recession, market volatility

and inflation, and uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing, pose

risks that could impact our business and results of operations.

For more information about these risks, see Item 1A. "Risk

Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024.

Overview of the Three and Six Months

In the three months 2025 we achieved sales growth of 11.1%

from 2024. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures,

sales grew 10.2% in constant currency. We reported operating

income margin of 18.5%, net earnings of $884 and net earnings

per diluted share of $2.29. Excluding the impact of certain items,

adjusted operating income margin(1) increased by 110 basis

points to 25.7%, with adjusted net earnings(1) of $1,211 and

adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $3.13, an increase of

11.4% from 2024.

In the six months 2025 we achieved sales growth of 11.5% from

2024. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, sales

grew 10.2% in constant currency. We reported operating income

margin of 16.4%, net earnings of $1,538 and net earnings per

diluted share of $3.98. Excluding the impact of certain items,

adjusted operating income margin(1) increased by 100 basis

points to 24.3%, with adjusted net earnings(1) of $2,308 and

adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $5.97, an increase of

12.4% from 2024.

Recent Developments

In the first quarter 2025 we completed the acquisition of Inari for

total consideration of $4,810, in upfront payments, net of cash

acquired. Refer to Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial

Statements for further information.

In February 2025 we entered into a new revolving credit

agreement that replaces our previous agreement dated October

2021. The primary changes were to increase the aggregate

principal amount of the facility by $750 to $3,000 and extend the

maturity date to February 25, 2030. On June 30, 2025 there were

no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility or

our commercial paper program which allows for maturities up to

397 days from the date of issuance. The maximum amount of our

commercial paper that can be outstanding at any time is $2,250.

In February 2025 we issued $500 of 4.550% senior unsecured

notes due February 10, 2027, $700 of 4.700% senior unsecured

notes due February 10, 2028, $800 of 4.850% senior unsecured

notes due February 10, 2030 and $1,000 of 5.200% senior

unsecured notes due February 10, 2035. In June 2025 we repaid

$650M of 1.150% senior unsecured notes.

Note: In the first quarter 2025 we changed the name of our Neurovascular business to Vascular due the acquisition of Inari. In the fourth

quarter 2024 we reorganized our Spine business to align with certain updates to our internal reporting structure. The spine enabling

technologies portfolio (Enabling Technologies) was reclassified to Other Orthopaedics, the interventional spine portfolio was reclassified

to Neuro Cranial and the remaining Spine business was renamed to Spinal Implants. Neuro Cranial includes sales related to

interventional spine of $129 and $98 for the three months 2025 and 2024 and $247 and $196 for the six months 2025 and 2024. Other

Orthopaedics includes sales related to Enabling Technologies of $34 and $31 for the three months 2025 and 2024 and $63 and $62 for

the six months 2025 and 2024. We have reflected these changes in all historical periods presented.

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased 11.1% in the three months

2025 as reported and 10.3% in constant currency, as foreign

currency exchange rates positively impacted net sales by 0.8%.

Excluding the 0.1% impact of acquisitions and divestitures, net

sales in constant currency increased by 9.7% from increased unit

volume and 0.5% due to higher prices. The unit volume increase

was due to higher product shipments across all MedSurg and

Neurotechnology businesses and most Orthopaedics businesses.

Consolidated net sales increased 11.5% in the six months 2025

as reported and 11.5% in constant currency. Excluding the 1.3%

impact of acquisitions and divestitures, net sales in constant

currency increased by 9.6% from increased unit volume and

0.6% due to higher prices. The unit volume increase was due to

higher product shipments across all MedSurg and

Neurotechnology businesses and most Orthopaedics businesses.

MedSurg and Neurotechnology Net Sales

MedSurg and Neurotechnology net sales increased 17.3% in the

three months 2025 as reported and 16.7% in constant currency,

as foreign currency exchange rates positively impacted net sales

by 0.6%. Excluding the 5.7% impact of acquisitions and

divestitures, net sales in constant currency increased by 10.2%

from increased unit volume and 0.8% from higher prices. The unit

volume increase was due to higher shipments across all

MedSurg and Neurotechnology businesses.

MedSurg and Neurotechnology net sales increased 15.4% in the

six months 2025 as reported and 15.5% in constant currency, as

foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted net sales by

0.1%. Excluding the 4.7% impact of acquisitions and divestitures,

net sales in constant currency increased by 9.8% from increased

unit volume and 1.0% from higher prices. The unit volume


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.	14

increase was due to higher shipments across all MedSurg and

Neurotechnology businesses.

Orthopaedics Net Sales

Orthopaedics net sales increased 2.0% in the three months 2025

as reported and 1.1% in constant currency, as foreign currency

exchange rates positively impacted net sales by 0.9%. Excluding

the (7.9)% impact of acquisitions and divestitures, net sales in

constant currency increased 9.0% from increased unit volume.

The unit volume increase was due to higher shipments across

most Orthopaedics businesses.

Orthopaedics net sales increased 5.8% in the six months 2025 as

reported and 5.8% in constant currency. Excluding the (3.4)%

impact of acquisitions and divestitures, net sales in constant

currency increased 9.2% from increased unit volume. The unit

volume increase was due to higher shipments across most

Orthopaedics businesses.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $3,841 and $3,416 in the three months 2025

and 2024. The key components of the change were:


	Gross Profit Percent Net Sales
Three Months 2024	63.0%
Sales pricing	20 bps
Volume and mix	70 bps
Manufacturing and supply chain costs	40 bps
Structural optimization and other special charges	30 bps
Inventory stepped up to fair value	(80) bps
Three Months 2025	63.8%

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the three months

2025 remained relatively flat with 2024.

Gross profit was $7,585 and $6,749 in the six months 2025 and

2024. The key components of the change were:


	Gross Profit Percent Net Sales
Six Months 2024	63.3%
Sales pricing	20 bps
Volume and mix	80 bps
Manufacturing and supply chain costs	60 bps
Structural optimization and other special charges	(30) bps
Inventory stepped up to fair value	(80) bps
Six Months 2025	63.8%

While segment mix was not a significant driver of the change in

gross profit as a percent of net sales between the six months

2025 and 2024, we generally expect segment mix to have an

unfavorable impact for the foreseeable future as we anticipate

more rapid sales growth in our lower gross margin MedSurg and

Neurotechnology segment than our Orthopaedics segment.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses increased

$44 or 12.1% in the three months 2025. Expenses as a

percentage of net sales in the three months 2025 of 6.8%

remained relatively flat with 6.7% in 2024.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased

$81 or 11.1% in the six months 2025. Expenses as a percentage

of net sales in the six months 2025 of 6.8% remained relatively

flat with 6.9% in 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $248 or

13.5% in the three months 2025. As a percentage of net sales,

expenses increased to 34.5% from 33.8% in 2024, primarily due

to higher acquisition-related costs and continued investments to

support our growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $711 or

19.4% in the six months 2025. As a percentage of net sales,

expenses increased to 36.8% from 34.4% in 2024, primarily due

to higher acquisition-related costs and continued investments to

support our growth. Expenses in the six months 2025 included a

charge of $139 for share-based awards for Inari employees that

vested upon our acquisition.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $187 and $155 in the three

months and $354 and $308 and six months 2025 and 2024.

Refer to Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for

further information.

Goodwill and other impairments

Goodwill and other impairments was $55 and $16 in the three

months and $90 and $19 in the six months 2025 and 2024.

Operating Income

Operating income was $1,113 and $1,051 in the three months

2025 and 2024. Operating income as a percentage of net sales in

the three months 2025 decreased to 18.5% from 19.4% in 2024.

Refer to the discussion above for the primary drivers of the

change.

Operating income was 1,950 and 2,023 in the six months 2025

and 2024. Operating income as a percentage of net sales in the

six months 2025 decreased to 16.4% from 19.0% in 2024. Refer

to the discussion above for the primary drivers of the change.

MedSurg and Neurotechnology operating income as a

percentage of net sales increased to 28.3% in the three months

2025 from 28.1% in 2024. Orthopaedics operating income as a

percentage of net sales increased to 30.1% in the three months

2025 from 28.7% in 2024. The key components of the change

were:


	Operating Income Percent Net Sales
	MedSurg and Neurotechnology	Orthopaedics
Three Months 2024	28.1%	28.7%
Sales pricing	30 bps	0 bps
Volume	100 bps	10 bps
Manufacturing and supply chain costs	130 bps	(50) bps
Research, development and engineering expenses	(50) bps	50 bps
Selling, general and administrative expenses	(200) bps	130 bps
Three Months 2025	28.3%	30.1%

The increase in MedSurg and Neurotechnology operating income

as a percentage of net sales for the three months was primarily

driven by lower manufacturing and supply chain costs and higher

unit volumes and prices offset by higher selling, general and

administrative expenses primarily due to the acquisition of Inari

and continued investments to support our growth.

The increase in Orthopaedics operating income as a percentage

of net sales for the three months was primarily driven by higher

unit volumes, lower selling, general and administrative expenses

and lower research, development and engineering expenses

partially offset by higher manufacturing and supply chain costs

MedSurg and Neurotechnology operating income as a

percentage of net sales increased to 28.0% in the six months

2025 from 27.7% in 2024. Orthopaedics operating income as a

percentage of net sales increased to 28.6% in the six months

2025 from 27.5% in 2024. The key components of the change

were:

Research, development and engineering expenses	(30) bps	50 bps
Selling, general and administrative expenses	(200) bps	30 bps
Six Months 2025	28.0%	28.6%

The increase in MedSurg and Neurotechnology operating income

as a percentage of net sales for the six months was primarily

driven by lower manufacturing and supply chain costs and higher

unit volumes and prices offset by higher selling, general and

administrative expenses primarily due to the acquisition of Inari

and continued investments to support our growth.

The increase in Orthopaedics operating income as a percentage

of net sales for the six months was primarily driven by higher unit

volumes, lower research, development and engineering

expenses and lower selling, general and administrative

expenses.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was ($97) and ($53) in the three

months and ($170) and ($102) in the six months 2025 and

2024. The increase in net expense in the three months and six

months 2025 from 2024 was primarily due to higher interest

expense in 2025.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 13.0% and 13.6% in the three and

six months 2025 and 17.3% and 16.0% in the three and six

months 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three and six

months 2025 decreased from the three and six months 2024 due

to the 2025 tax benefit related to the sale of the Spinal Implants

business. The effective tax rates for the three and six months

2025 and 2024 reflect the continued lower effective income tax

rates as a result of our European operations and certain discrete

tax items.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development

(OECD), which represents a coalition of member countries, has

put forth two proposed base erosion and profit shifting

frameworks that revise the existing profit allocation and nexus

rules (Pillar One) and ensure a minimal level of taxation (Pillar

Two). On December 12, 2022 the European Union member

states agreed to implement the Inclusive Framework’s global

corporate minimum tax rate of 15%, and various countries within

and outside the European Union have either enacted or proposed

new tax laws implementing Pillar Two in 2024. The OECD

continues to release additional guidance and we anticipate more

countries will enact similar tax laws. Some of the new tax laws

became effective in 2024 while others will be effective in 2025

and future years. These tax law changes and any additional

contemplated tax law changes could increase tax expense in

future periods.

On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was

enacted into United States law. We are currently evaluating the

impact of the OBBBA and do not expect the tax-related

provisions to have a material impact on our Consolidated

Financial Statements.

Net Earnings

Net earnings increased to $884 or $2.29 per diluted share in the

three months 2025 from $825 or $2.14 per diluted share in 2024.

Net earnings decreased to $1,538 or $3.98 per diluted share in

six months 2025 from $1,613 or $4.19 per diluted share in 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information

determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the

United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures,

including percentage sales growth in constant currency;

percentage organic sales growth; adjusted gross profit; adjusted

selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted research,

development and engineering expenses; adjusted operating

income; adjusted other income (expense), net; adjusted income

taxes; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings;

and adjusted net earnings per diluted share (Diluted EPS). We

believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful

information to assist investors and shareholders in understanding

our financial results and assessing our prospects for future

performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in

constant currency and the other adjusted measures described

above are important indicators of our operations because they

exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our

core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends

in our underlying businesses. Management uses these non-

GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results of

reportable business segments and analyzing potential future

business trends in connection with our budget process and bases

certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP

financial measures. To measure percentage sales growth in

constant currency, we remove the impact of changes in foreign

currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend

of sales. Percentage sales growth in constant currency is

calculated by translating current and prior year results at the

same foreign currency exchange rate. To measure percentage

organic sales growth, we remove the impact of changes in

foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures,

which affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage

organic sales growth is calculated by translating current year and

prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rates

excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. To measure

earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, we

exclude certain items that affect the comparability of operating

results and the trend of earnings. The income tax effect of each

adjustment was determined based on the tax effect of the

jurisdiction in which the related pre-tax adjustment was recorded.

These adjustments are irregular in timing and may not be

indicative of our past and future performance. The following are

examples of the types of adjustments that may be included in a

period:

1.Acquisition and integration-related costs. Costs related to

integrating recently acquired businesses (e.g., costs

associated with the termination of sales relationships,

employee retention and workforce reductions, manufacturing

integration costs and other integration-related activities),

changes in the fair value of contingent consideration,

amortization of inventory stepped-up to fair value, specific

costs (e.g., deal costs and costs associated with legal entity

rationalization) related to the consummation of the

acquisition process and legal entity rationalization and

acquisition-related tax items.

2.Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Periodic

amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets.

3.Structural optimization and other special charges. Costs

associated with employee retention and workforce


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.	16


STRYKER CORPORATION		2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

reductions, the closure or transfer of manufacturing and

other facilities (e.g., site closure costs, contract termination

costs and redundant employee costs during the work

transfers), product line exits (primarily inventory, long-lived

asset and specifically-identified intangible asset write-offs),

certain long-lived and intangible asset write-offs and

impairments and other charges.

4.Medical device regulations. Costs specific to updating our

quality system, product labeling, asset write-offs and product

remanufacturing to comply with the new medical device

reporting regulations and other requirements of the

European Union.

5.Recall-related matters. Changes in our best estimate of the

probable loss, or the minimum of the range of probable

losses when a best estimate within a range is not known, to

resolve the Rejuvenate, LFIT V40, Wright legacy hip

products and other product recalls.

6.Regulatory and legal matters. Changes in our best estimate

of the probable loss, or the minimum of the range of

probable losses when a best estimate within a range is not

known, to resolve certain regulatory or other legal matters

and the amount of favorable awards from settlements.

7.Tax matters. Impact of accounting for certain significant and

discrete tax items.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it

may not be possible to compare these financial measures with

other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same

or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not

be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales

growth, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses,

research, development and engineering expenses, operating

income, other income (expense), net, income taxes, effective

income tax rate, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share,

the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These

non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing

aspects of our operations when viewed with our GAAP results

and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial

measures at the end of the discussion of Consolidated Results of

Operations below. We strongly encourage investors and

shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed

reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial

measure.

The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding used in the

calculation of adjusted net earnings per diluted share are the

same as those used in the calculation of reported net earnings

per diluted share for the respective period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY


	Six Months
Net cash provided by (used in):	2025	2024
Operating activities	$1,361	$837
Investing activities	(4,240)	(525)
Financing activities	1,545	(1,384)
Effect of exchange rate changes	57	(25)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$(1,277)	$(1,097)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $1,361 and $837 in the

six months 2025 and 2024. The increase was primarily due to the

timing of payments and collections in working capital accounts.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $4,240 and $525 in the six

months 2025 and 2024. The six months 2025 included cash paid

to acquire Inari and purchases of property, plant and equipment

partially offset by proceeds from the sale of short-term

investments and the sale of the Spinal Implants business. The six

months 2024 included cash paid for the Serf acquisition. Refer to

Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further

information on acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,545 in the six

months 2025 and cash used in financing activities was $1,384 in

the six months 2024. In 2025, cash provided was primarily driven

by proceeds from the issuance of various senior unsecured notes

as described in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

This was partially offset by dividend payments and cash paid for

taxes on withheld shares. Cash used in 2024 was primarily driven

by dividend payments and cash paid for taxes on withheld

shares. We did not repurchase any shares in the six months

2025 and 2024.

Liquidity

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable

securities were $2,464 and $4,493 on June 30, 2025 and

December 31, 2024. Current assets exceeded current liabilities

by $5,715 and $7,231 on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

We anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and

operating needs from a variety of sources including cash from

operations, commercial paper and existing credit lines.

We have raised funds in the capital markets and have accessed

the credit markets in the past and may continue to do so from

time-to-time. We continue to have strong investment-grade short-

term and long-term debt ratings that we believe should enable us

to refinance our debt as needed.

Our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and

marketable securities held in locations outside the United States

was 43% on June 30, 2025 compared to 20% on December 31,

2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There were no changes to our critical accounting policies and

estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-

K for 2024, except as follows.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.	20


STRYKER CORPORATION		2025 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

discussion of estimates related to the Spinal Implants assets

classified as held for sale at December 31, 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Refer to Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for

information.

Guarantees and Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing

arrangements, including variable interest entities, of a magnitude

that we believe could have a material impact on our financial

condition or liquidity.

OTHER MATTERS

Legal and Regulatory Matters

We are involved in various ongoing proceedings, legal actions

and claims arising in the normal course of our business, including

proceedings related to product, labor, intellectual property and

other matters. Refer to Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial

Statements for further information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements that are not historical facts and

are considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning

of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These

statements are based on current projections about operations,

industry conditions, financial condition and liquidity. Words that

identify forward-looking statements include, without limitation,

words such as "may," "could," "will," "should," "possible," "plan,"

"predict," "forecast," "potential," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect,"

"project," "intend," "believe," "may impact," "on track," "goal,"

"strategy" and words and terms of similar substance used in

connection with any discussion of future operating or financial

performance, an acquisition or our businesses. In addition, any

statements that refer to expectations, projections or other

characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any

underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Those

statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks,

uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely

from these forward-looking statements, historical experience or

our present expectations. Some important factors that could

cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any

forward-looking statements include the risks discussed in Item

1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024.

This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our

Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to

our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on

Form 10-K for 2024. While we believe that the assumptions

underlying such forward-looking statements are reasonable,

there can be no assurance that future events or developments

will not cause such statements to be inaccurate. All forward-

looking statements contained in this report are qualified in their

entirety by this cautionary statement. We expressly disclaim any

intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-

looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or in

events, conditions or circumstances on which those expectations

may be based, or that affect the likelihood that actual results will

differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We consider our greatest potential area of market risk exposure

to be exchange rate risk on our operating results. Quantitative

and qualitative disclosures about exchange rate risk are included

in Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market

Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024. There were

no material changes from the information provided therein.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive

Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Certifying Officers),

evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls

and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)

promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended) on June 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the

Certifying Officers concluded the Company's disclosure controls

and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change to our internal control over financial

reporting during the six months 2025 that materially affected, or is

reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over

financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

We are not aware of any material changes to the risk factors

included in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form

10-K for 2024.


ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We issued 3,045 shares of our common stock In the three

months 2025 as performance incentive awards to employees.

These shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933

based on the conclusion that the awards would not be events of

sale within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Act.

In March 2015 we announced that our Board of Directors had

authorized us to purchase up to $2,000 of our common stock.

The manner, timing and amount of repurchases are determined

by management based on an evaluation of market conditions,

stock price, and other factors and are subject to regulatory

considerations. Purchases are made from time-to-time in the

open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

In the six months 2025 we did not repurchase any shares of our

common stock under our authorized repurchase program. The

total dollar value of shares of our common stock that could be

acquired under our authorized repurchase program was $1,033

as of June 30, 2025.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.	21

STRYKER CORPORATION

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

1.The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") with respect to Common Stock of Stryker Corporation (the "Company") granted to you during 2025 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Restricted Stock Units Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "Terms and Conditions") and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the "2011 Plan"), which is incorporated herein by reference. In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan, and "Stock Plan Administrator" means UBS Financial Services Inc. (or any other independent service provider engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, operation and administration of the 2011 Plan).

2.Your right to receive the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs shall be only as follows:

(a)If you continue to be a Director, you will receive the Shares underlying the RSUs that have become vested as soon as administratively possible following the vesting date as set forth in the award letter.

(b)If you cease to be a Director by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) or death prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you or your estate will become fully vested in your RSUs, and you, your legal representative or your estate will receive all of the underlying Shares as soon as administratively practicable following your termination by Disability or death.

(c)If you cease to be a Director by reason of Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you (or your estate in the event of your death after your termination by Retirement) will continue to vest in your RSUs in accordance with the vesting schedule as set forth in the award letter as if you had continued your service as a Director.

(d)If you cease to be a Director prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested for any reason other than those provided in (b) or (c) above, you shall cease vesting in your RSUs effective as of your Termination Date, which shall be the last day of your active service as a Director.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle your RSUs in the form of: (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law, (2) would require you or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence or (3) is administratively burdensome; or (ii) Shares, but require you to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, the Company shall have the authority to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf).

(f)You may elect to defer delivery of the Shares that are otherwise issuable upon the vesting date by completing a prescribed deferral election form and returning it to the Company according to the instructions on such deferral election form. The deferral election form will be distributed to you separately. If made, the deferral election shall be irrevocable. You generally shall receive your Shares at such time(s) specified in the deferral election form.

3.The number of Shares subject to the RSUs shall be subject to adjustment and the vesting dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:

(a)In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the RSUs the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled. The other terms of the RSUs shall also be appropriately amended as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Shares shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the RSUs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.

(b)Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the RSUs may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion. Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.

(c)The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the RSUs to permit the immediate vesting of the RSUs (and to terminate any unvested RSUs) and the distribution of the underlying Shares prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of operations or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other unrelated corporation.

4.If you are resident outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence. In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence. Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.

5.If you are resident in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the RSUs and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the "Age Discrimination Rules"). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

6.Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do

not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.

Prior to any taxable event (or such later date(s) as specified in a valid deferral election form), if your country of residence (and/or the country services as a director occur, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a number of whole Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value that the Company, taking into account local requirements and administrative issues, determines in its sole discretion is appropriate to cover withholding for Tax-Related Items with respect to the Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the amount required to be paid to the relevant government authorities with respect to withholding for Tax-Related Items, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable. In the event that withholding in Shares is prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company, the Company shall withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your director fees or other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your director fees or other amounts payable to you by the Company, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) unless and until satisfactory arrangements have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, should be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs. By accepting these RSUs, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your director fees or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.

7.The RSUs are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A.

8.The RSUs shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If you purport to make any transfer of the RSUs, except as aforesaid, the RSUs and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.

9.The RSUs shall not be vested in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the RSUs, if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the time. The RSUs are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the RSUs under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of Shares pursuant to the RSUs, the RSUs may not be vested in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.

10.The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon you any right to serve as a Director of the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your service as a Director at any time.

You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs until the date of issuance of such Shares.

11.You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the 2011 Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your service as a Director of the Company.

12.These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.

13.The Company is located at 1941 Stryker Way, Portage, Michigan 49002, U.S.A. and grants RSUs under the 2011 Plan to employees and directors of the Company and Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company's grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices ("Personal Data Activities"). In accepting the grant of the RSUs, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.

(a)The Company collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, citizenship, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you.

The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data is your consent.

(b)The Company transfers your personal data to the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you, if an account is not already in place, to receive and trade Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.

(c)The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company's legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.

(d)Your participation in the 2011 Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the 2011 Plan. This would not affect your existing directorship or your annual cash retainer; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the 2011 Plan.

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.

No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should acquire Shares under the 2011 Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the RSUs. The acquisition of Shares involves certain risks, and you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan or the disposition of them. Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the RSUs and the 2011 Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.

15.All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the RSUs and the 2011 Plan shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the state of Michigan, without regard to the application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any disputes regarding the RSUs or the 2011 Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the state of Michigan.

16.The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSUs or other awards granted to you under the 2011 Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the 2011 Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

17.The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions.

18.If you are resident outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the RSUs be drawn up in English. If you have received these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan or any other documents related to the RSUs translated into a language other than English and the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

19.Notwithstanding any provisions of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence set forth in an addendum to these Terms and Conditions (an "Addendum"). Further, if you transfer your residence to another country reflected in an Addendum to these Terms and Conditions at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such special terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer). In all circumstances, any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of these Terms and Conditions.

20.The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs, any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, and your participation in the 2011 Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award

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

21. By accepting the grant of the RSUs, 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.

In granting the RSUs under the 2011 Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the 2011 Plan. The Company's collection, processing, use and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company's contractual obligations under the 2011 Plan and pursuant to the Company's legitimate interest of managing and generally administering equity awards. Your refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.

(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers participant data to the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator

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)International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan 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.

(d)Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the 2011 Plan or as 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.

(e)Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under 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 of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant's personal data.

When the Shares are sold, you may be required to comply with certain exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds from the sale is held outside Austria, as a separate reporting requirement applies to any non-Austrian cash accounts.

BELGIUM

1.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Belgian residents are required to report any security (e.g, Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan) or bank account established outside of Belgium on their personal annual tax return. In a separate report, Belgian residents also are required to provide a central contact point of the National Bank of Belgium with the account number of those foreign bank accounts, the name of the bank with which the accounts were opened and the country in which they were opened in a separate report. This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under the Kredietcentrales / Centrales des credits caption. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.

2.Stock Exchange Tax Information. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by Belgian residents through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax will apply when Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs are sold. You should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.

3.Annual Securities Account Tax. An annual securities accounts tax may be payable if the total value of securities held in a Belgian or foreign securities account (e.g., Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan) exceeds a certain threshold on four reference dates within the relevant reporting period (i.e., December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30). In such case, the tax will be due on the value of the

qualifying securities held in such account. You should consult with a personal tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the annual securities account tax.

BRAZIL

1.Compliance with Law. By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to pay any and all applicable taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, the issuance and/or sale of Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan and the receipt of any dividends.

2.Exchange Control Information. If you are resident or domiciled in Brazil, you will be required to submit an annual declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank of Brazil if the aggregate value of such assets and rights is greater than USD1 million as of December 31 of each year. If the aggregate value exceeds USD100 million as of the end of each quarter, a declaration must be submitted quarterly. Assets and rights that must be reported include Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal legal, regulatory or foreign exchange obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.

3.Tax on Financial Transaction (IOF). Repatriation of funds (e.g., the proceeds from the sale of Shares) into Brazil and the conversion of USD into BRL associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial Transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Tax on Financial Transactions arising from your participation in the 2011 Plan. You should consult with your personal tax advisor for additional details.

CANADA

1.Settlement in Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms and Conditions or the 2011 Plan, the RSUs shall be settled only in Shares (and may not be settled in cash).

2.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Specified foreign property, including the RSUs, Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan, and other rights to receive shares of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident generally must be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Thus, the unvested portion of the RSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because you holds other specified foreign property. When Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB ordinarily will equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you owns other Shares, the ACB may need to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.

CHILE

(h)Esos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública mientras no sean inscritos en el registro de valores correspondiente.

2.Exchange Control Information. If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile (including the value of Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan) are equal to or greater than USD5,000,000, you must provide the Central Bank with updated information accumulated for a three-month period within 45 calendar days of March 31, June 30 and September 30 and within 60 calendar days of December 31.

You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of Shares or the receipt of any dividends to Chile. However, if you decide to repatriate such funds, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the funds exceed USD10,000. In such case, you must report the payment to a commercial bank or the registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. If you do not repatriate the funds and instead use such funds for the payment of other obligations contemplated under a different Chapter of the Foreign Exchange Regulations, you must sign Annex 1 of the Manual of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations and file it directly with the Central Bank within the first 10 days of the month immediately following the transaction. 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. The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (a) any taxes paid abroad which they will use as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (b) the results of foreign investments. These annual reporting obligations must be complied with by submitting a sworn statement setting forth this information before July 1 of each year. The sworn statement disclosing this information (or Formularios) must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website, www.sii.cl, using Form 1929. 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.

COLOMBIA

1.Securities Law Information. The Shares subject to the RSUs are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores)

and therefore the Shares may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.

2.Exchange Control Information. Investments in assets located outside Colombia (including Shares) are subject to registration with the Central Bank (Banco de la República), as foreign investments held abroad, regardless of value. In addition, all payments related to the liquidation of such investments must be transferred through the Colombian foreign exchange market (e.g. local banks), which includes the obligation of correctly completing and filing the appropriate foreign exchange form (declaración de cambio). 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. An annual informative return must be filed with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets held abroad (including the Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan). If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, each asset must be described (e.g., its nature and its value) and the jurisdiction in which it is located must be disclosed. You acknowledge that you personally are responsible for complying with this tax reporting requirement. You should consult with your personal advisor(s) regarding any personal foreign asset/foreign account tax obligations you may have in connection with your participation in the 2011 Plan.

2.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Finland has not adopted any specific reporting requirements with respect to foreign assets/accounts. However, you should check your pre-completed tax return to confirm that the ownership of Shares and other securities (foreign or domestic) are correctly reported. If you find any errors or omissions, you must make the necessary corrections electronically or by sending specific paper forms to the local tax authorities. 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.

FRANCE

1.Non-Qualified Nature of RSUs. The Award granted pursuant to the Terms and Conditions is not intended to be “French-qualified” and is ineligible for specific tax and/or social security treatment in France under Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-5 and Sections L. 22-10-59 to L. 22-10-60 of the French Commercial Code, as amended.

2.Exchange Control Information.

Failure to report triggers a significant penalty. 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.

4.Use of English Language.

NEW ZEALAND

1.WARNING. You are being offered RSUs to be settled in the form of shares of Stryker Corporation common stock. 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/sec- filings/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.

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, EUR 15,000) into or out of Poland 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 five years, as measured from the end of the year in which such transaction occurred.

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.

RUSSIA

1.IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION. You may be required to repatriate certain cash amounts received with respect to the RSUs to Russia as soon as you intend to use those cash amounts for any purpose, including reinvestment. If the repatriation requirement applies, such funds must initially be credited to you through a foreign currency account at an authorized bank in Russia. After the funds are initially received in Russia, they may be further remitted to foreign banks in accordance with Russian exchange control laws. Under the Directive N 5371-U of the Russian Central Bank (the "CBR"), the repatriation requirement may not apply in certain cases with respect to cash amounts received in an account that is considered by the CBR to be a foreign brokerage account. Statutory exceptions to the repatriation requirement also may apply. You should contact your personal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable exchange control requirements prior to vesting in the RSUs and/or selling the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs.

2.SECURITIES LAW NOTIFICATION. The grant of RSUs and the issuance of Shares upon vesting are not intended to be an offering of securities with the Russian Federation, and the Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan, this Addendum and all other materials that you receive in connection with the grant of RSUs and your participation in the 2011 Plan (collectively, "Grant Materials") do not constitute advertising or a solicitation within the Russian Federation. In connection with your grant of RSUs, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the Russian Federal Bank or any other governmental or regulatory body within the Russian Federation, and the Grant Materials expressly may not be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of making a securities offering or public circulation of Shares within the Russian Federation.

Moreover, you will not be permitted to sell or otherwise alienate any Shares directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals.

3.EXCHANGE CONTROL NOTIFICATION. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable Russian exchange control regulations. Since 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 regulations. As noted, it is your personal responsibility to

comply with Russian exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

4.ANTI-CORRUPTION NOTIFICATION. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company). Accordingly, you should inform the Company if you are covered by these laws as this relates to your acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan.

In addition, you must notify the Singapore company when you sell Shares (including when you sell Shares acquired at vesting of the Restricted Stock Units). These notifications must be made within two business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of your interests in the Company or any related company within two business days of becoming a director.

3. Insider Trading Notice. You acknowledge that you should be aware of the Singapore insider-trading rules, which may impact your ability to acquire or dispose of Shares.

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.

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 sells 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.
