Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("this report") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in USD and comparisons are to comparable prior periods. Our primary operating currencies, other than the USD, include the CAD, the GBP and our Central European operating currencies such as the EUR, CZK, RON and RSD.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report, and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, except as noted in Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements".
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any other future period.
Anti-Dilutive Securities
Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted EPS were 1.1 million and 1.7 million as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Dividends
On February 13, 2024, our Company's Board of Directors ("Board") declared a dividend of $0.44 per share, paid on March 15, 2024, to shareholders of Class A and Class B common stock of record on March 1, 2024. Shareholders of exchangeable shares received the CAD equivalent of dividends declared on Class A and Class B common stock, equal to CAD 0.59 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2023, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of our Company's Class B common stock excluding brokerage commissions and excise taxes, with an expected program term of five years. This repurchase program replaces and supersedes any repurchase program previously approved by our Board, including the program approved during the first quarter of 2022.
The following table presents the shares repurchased and aggregate cost, including brokerage commissions and excise taxes incurred, under the current and superseded share repurchase programs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Non-Cash Activity
Non-cash investing activities include movements in our guarantee of indebtedness of certain equity method investments. See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion. We also had non-cash activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $182.1 million and $203.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. In addition, we had non-cash activities related to certain issuances of share-based awards.
Other than the activity mentioned above and the supplemental non-cash activity related to the recognition of leases further discussed in Note 6, "Leases," there was no other significant non-cash activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we granted stock options, RSUs and PSUs to certain officers and other eligible employees. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $12.8 million and $9.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Supplier Financing
We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. with $136.3 million and $147.5 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables was $13.5 million and $12.7 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the guidance should be applied prospectively. We are permitted to early adopt and can choose to apply the guidance retrospectively. When adopted, we expect the guidance to have an impact on disclosures only and to not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We are still considering if we will apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosures and to enhance disclosures about significant reportable segment expenses. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim periods and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Because the amendments do not change the methodology for the identification of operating segments, the aggregation of those operating segments or the application of the quantitative thresholds to determine reportable segments, we do not expect the guidance to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Investments
Our investments include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as VIEs have been evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. The VIEs included under "Consolidated VIEs" below are those for which we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and accordingly, we have consolidated these entities. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide. Amounts due to and due from our equity method investments are recorded as affiliate accounts payable and affiliate accounts receivable which are presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities and trade receivables, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12

Authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs requires that we continually reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in which we have an interest. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and we continually evaluate circumstances that could require consolidation or deconsolidation. Our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K." or "CBPL"), Rocky Mountain Metal Container ("RMMC"), and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company ("RMBC"), as well as other immaterial entities. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI"), Brewers Distributor Ltd. ("BDL") and The Yuengling Company LLC ("TYC"), as well as other immaterial investments. Under our CBPL U.K. partnership agreement, our partner has exercised an option which will result in our acquisition of the remaining 49.9% ownership interest, with the transaction anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2024 pending finalization of terms.
Both BRI and BDL have outstanding third party debt which is guaranteed by their respective shareholders. As a result, we had a guarantee liability of $31.9 million and $35.4 million recorded as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of these debt instruments. The offset to the guarantee liability was recorded as an adjustment to our respective equity method investment within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting change in our equity method investments during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.
Consolidated VIEs
The following summarizes the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs (including noncontrolling interests):
  As of
  March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
  Total Assets Total Liabilities Total Assets Total Liabilities
  (In millions)
RMMC/RMBC $ 243.1  $ 22.5  $ 261.6  $ 24.7 
Other $ 3.2  $ 3.3  $ 2.8  $ 3.3 
As of March 31, 2024, for RMMC/RMBC, $93.8 million and $116.7 million were recorded in inventories, net and property, plant and equipment, net, respectively on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, for RMMC/RMBC, $108.2 million and $120.7 million were recorded in inventories, net and property, plant and equipment, net, respectively on the consolidated balance sheets.

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The changes in the carrying value of goodwill is presented in the table below by segment.
Americas EMEA&APAC
Consolidated(1)
(In millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 5,325.3  $ —  $ 5,325.3 
Foreign currency translation, net (4.0) —  (4.0)
Balance as of March 31, 2024 $ 5,321.3  $ —  $ 5,321.3 
(1)Accumulated impairment losses for the Americas segment was $1,513.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The EMEA&APAC goodwill balance was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2020 with an accumulated impairment loss of $1,484.3 million.
13

As of the date of our annual impairment test performed as of October 1, 2023, the fair value of the Americas reporting unit goodwill balance was in excess of its carrying value by slightly less than 15%, and as such, the reporting unit continues to be at heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions. We continue to focus on growing our core power brand net sales, aggressively premiumizing our portfolio and scaling and expanding beyond beer. While progress has been made on these strategies over recent years, including the strengthening of our core brands, the growth targets included in management’s forecasted future cash flows are inherently at risk given that the strategies are still in progress. These growth targets have factored in current expectations of the beer industry environment and broader macroeconomic conditions. However, the fair value determinations are sensitive to changes in forecasted cash flows, macroeconomic conditions, market multiples or discount rates that could negatively impact future analyses, including the impacts of cost inflation, further increases to interest rates and other external industry factors impacting our business.
We determined that there was no triggering event that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that would indicate the carrying value of our goodwill was greater than its fair value.

The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 were primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangible assets, other than goodwill, are denominated in foreign currencies.
14

Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2024, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets was as follows:
Fiscal year Amount
(In millions)
2024 - remaining $ 156.9 
2025 $ 209.2 
2026 $ 190.7 
2027 $ 126.2 
2028 $ 124.7 
Amortization expense of intangible assets was $52.4 million and $51.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. This expense was presented within MG&A expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of the date of our annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets, performed as of October 1, 2023, the carrying value of the Staropramen family of brands in EMEA&APAC was determined to be in excess of its fair value such that an impairment loss was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2023. As this was a partial impairment, the intangible asset is considered to be at a heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions, including forecasted future cash flows based on execution of strategic initiatives for expansion and distribution of the brand, as well as discount rates and other macroeconomic factors.
The fair value of the Coors brands in the Americas, the Miller brands in the U.S. and the Carling brands in EMEA&APAC all exceeded their respective carrying values by over 15% as of the annual testing date.
No triggering events were identified during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that would indicate the carrying values of our indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets were greater than their fair values.
Fair Value Assumptions
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. The key assumptions used to derive the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets are discussed in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in our Annual Report, and represent Level 3 measurements.

(1)Our short-term borrowings include bank overdrafts, borrowings on our overdraft facilities and other items.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $28.6 million in bank overdrafts and $69.8 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $41.2 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had $16.5 million in bank overdrafts and $75.5 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $59.0 million.
In addition, we have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities under which we had no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion related to letters of credit.
16

Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations using observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $5.8 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
We maintain a $2.0 billion amended and restated revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 26, 2028 that allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in commercial paper or make other borrowings at any time at variable interest rates. We use this facility from time to time to fund the repayment of debt upon maturity and for working capital or general purposes.
We had no borrowings drawn on the amended and restated revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Debt Covenants
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets, and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
Under the amended and restated $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, calculated as net debt to EBITDA (as defined in the amended and restated revolving credit facility agreement) of 4.00x, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and covenants, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of March 31, 2024 rank pari-passu.
8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As noted in Part II. - Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report, due to the nature of our counterparty agreements, and the fact that we are not subject to master netting arrangements, we are not able to net positions with the same counterparty and, therefore, present our derivative positions on a gross basis in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Except as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since December 31, 2023.
Derivative Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as our own non-performance risk, as appropriate.

The table below summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value for all derivative contracts as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were valued using significant other observable inputs, also known as Level 2 inputs.

The cumulative translation adjustments related to our net investment hedges remain in AOCI until the respective underlying net investment is sold or liquidated. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, we did not reclassify any amounts related to net investment hedges from AOCI into earnings.
As of March 31, 2024, we expect net losses of approximately $1 million (pretax) recorded in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. For derivatives designated in cash flow hedge relationships, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged as of March 31, 2024 is approximately 3 years, as well as those related to our forecasted debt issuances in 2026.

19

The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in net discrete tax expense. We recognized a $5.7 million discrete tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to recognition of $7.5 million discrete tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Recently, intergovernmental entities such as the Organization for Economic Development ("OECD") and European Union ("EU") have proposed changes to the existing tax laws of member countries, including model rules introduced by the OECD for a new 15% global minimum tax. In December 2022, the EU member states agreed to incorporate the 15% global minimum tax into their respective domestic laws effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. In addition, several non-EU countries, including the U.K., have proposed and/or adopted legislation consistent with the OECD global minimum tax framework. The global minimum tax, which is now effective in countries with enacted legislation, did not materially impact our financial or cash tax position in the three months ended March 31, 2024. We continue to evaluate the impact on future periods as previously-enacting countries issue related guidance and additional countries consider adoption of the global minimum tax rules.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Disputes and Environmental
Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have an aggregate accrued contingent liability of $70.9 million and $70.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for litigation, other disputes and environmental matters in which we are currently involved, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. For all matters unless otherwise noted below, we believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our litigation, other disputes and environmental issues are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Other than those disclosed below, we are also involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, other than as noted, none of these disputes or legal actions are expected to have a material impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
On February 12, 2018, Stone Brewing Company filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of California against Molson Coors Beverage Company USA LLC ("MCBC USA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, alleging that the Keystone brand had “rebranded” itself as “Stone” and was marketing itself in a manner confusingly similar to Stone Brewing Company's registered Stone trademark. In the first quarter of 2022, a jury returned a verdict in which it concluded that trademark infringement had occurred and awarded Stone Brewing Company $56.0 million in damages. After denial of post-trial motions, in the fourth quarter of 2023, MCBC USA filed a notice of appeal in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a recorded accrued liability of $59.0 million and $58.5 million, respectively, within other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the best estimate of probable loss in this case based on the judgment plus associated post-judgment interest. However, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change in the near term based on the progression of the case, including the appeals process. We will continue to monitor the status of the case and will adjust the accrual in the period in which any significant change occurs which could impact the estimate of the loss for this matter.

Regulatory Contingencies
The Province of Ontario and Molson Canada 2005, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of our Company, Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Sleeman Breweries Ltd. (collectively, the "Representative Owners") and The Beer Store ("TBS") are parties to a Master Framework Agreement ("MFA") that dictates the terms of the beer distribution and retail systems in Ontario. In December 2023, the Province of Ontario notified the Representative Owners and TBS that it would not be renewing the MFA after the initial term expires on December 31, 2025. The Province of Ontario simultaneously announced a set of non-binding key principles ("Key Principles") agreed upon between the Province of Ontario, the Representative Owners and TBS, concerning the intended features of the future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario which are expected to be introduced no later than January 1, 2026. Under the Key Principles, TBS will be permitted to continue its retail operations and will continue to be the primary distributor of beer in the Province of Ontario through at least 2031. The Key Principles also state grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and big-box retailers in the Province of Ontario will be able to apply for licenses to sell beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails starting no later than January 1, 2026. We continue to evaluate the impacts of the Key Principles and the expected future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario on our results of operations.
Guarantees and Indemnities
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include liabilities related to these guarantees of $33.4 million and $36.9 million, respectively.
Separately, related to our Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") indemnities, we accrued $11.4 million and $11.8 million, in aggregate, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. Our Kaiser liabilities are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

13. Segment Reporting
Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate and include the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments. Our Americas segment operates in the U.S., Canada and various countries in the Caribbean, Latin and South America and our EMEA&APAC segment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries and certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
We also have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as "Unallocated" below. Specifically, Unallocated activity primarily includes financing-related costs such as interest expense and income, foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, realized and unrealized changes in fair value on derivative instruments not designated in hedging relationships related to financing and other treasury-related activities and the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment and all other components remain in Unallocated.
Summarized Financial Information
Net sales from transactions with one customer of our Americas segment represented approximately $0.3 billion and $0.2 billion of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 respectively.
Consolidated net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting net sales and income (loss) before income taxes eliminate upon consolidation and are primarily related to the Americas segment royalties received from, and sales to the EMEA&APAC segment.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
For over two centuries, we have been brewing beverages that unite people to celebrate all life’s moments. From our core power brands Coors Light, Miller Lite, Coors Banquet, Molson Canadian, Carling and Ožujsko to our above premium brands including Madri, Staropramen, Blue Moon Belgian White and Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, to our economy and value brands like Miller High Life and Keystone, we produce many beloved and iconic beer brands. While our Company’s history is rooted in beer, we offer a modern portfolio that expands beyond the beer aisle as well, including flavored beverages like Vizzy Hard Seltzer, spirits like Five Trail whiskey as well as non-alcoholic beverages. As a business, our ambition is to be the first choice for our people, our consumers and our customers, and our success depends on our ability to make our products available to meet a wide range of consumer segments and occasions.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 ("Annual Report"), as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this report.

Foreign currency impacts on results
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, foreign currency movements had the following impacts on our USD consolidated results:
•Net sales - Favorable impact of $12.6 million (favorable impact for EMEA&APAC and Americas of $11.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively).
•Cost of goods sold - Unfavorable impact of $8.5 million (unfavorable impact for EMEA&APAC and Americas of $8.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, partially offset by the favorable impact for Unallocated of $0.1 million).
•MG&A - Unfavorable impact of $3.8 million (unfavorable impact for EMEA&APAC and Americas of $3.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively).
•Income (loss) before income taxes - Unfavorable impact of $7.6 million (unfavorable impact for Unallocated, EMEA&APAC and Americas of $4.4 million, $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively).
The impacts of foreign currency movements on our consolidated USD results described above for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were primarily due to the weakening of the USD compared to the GBP.
Included in these amounts are both translational and transactional impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates. We calculate the impact of foreign exchange by translating our current period local currency results at the average exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year period during the respective period throughout the year and comparing that amount with the reported amount for the period. The impact of transactional foreign currency gains and losses, including the impact of undesignated foreign currency forwards, is recorded within other non-operating income (expense), net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Volume
Financial volume represents owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets (net of returns and allowances), as well as contract brewing, wholesale/factored non-owned volume and company-owned distribution volume. This metric is presented on an STW basis to reflect the sales from our operations to our direct customers, generally distributors. We believe this metric is important and useful for investors and management because it gives an indication of the amount of beer and adjacent products that we have produced and shipped to customers. This metric excludes royalty volume, which consists of our brands produced and sold under various license and contract brewing agreements. Factored volume in our EMEA&APAC segment is the distribution of beer, wine, spirits and other products owned and produced by other companies to the on-premise channel, which is a common arrangement in the U.K.
Net Sales
The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023 (in percentages):
Financial Volume Price and Sales Mix Currency Total
Consolidated net sales 5.7  % 4.4  % 0.6  % 10.7  %
Net sales increased 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, driven by higher financial volumes, favorable price and sales mix and favorable foreign currency impacts.
Financial volumes increased 5.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to higher financial volumes in the Americas segment.
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 4.4% primarily due to increased net pricing as well as favorable sales mix as a result of lower contract brewing volume in the the Americas segment.
A discussion of currency impacts on net sales is included in the "Foreign currency impacts on results" section above.
Cost of goods sold
We utilize cost of goods sold per hectoliter, as well as the year over year changes in this metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. This metric is calculated as cost of goods sold per our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations divided by financial volume for the respective period. We believe this metric is important and useful for investors and management because it provides an indication of the trends of sales mix and other cost impacts on our cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold increased 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to higher financial volumes and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by lower cost of goods sold per hectoliter. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter improved 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to prior year, including unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 0.6%, primarily due to the favorable changes in our unrealized mark-to-market derivative positions of $52.6 million, the benefits of cost savings and volume leverage, partially offset by cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses and unfavorable mix driven by lower contract brewing volumes in the Americas segment.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses
MG&A expenses increased 6.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to prior year, primarily due to increased marketing investment to support our brands and innovations and unfavorable foreign currency impacts.
Other operating income (expense), net
See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, "Other Operating Income (Expense), net" for detail of our other operating income (expense), net.
Total non-operating income (expense), net
Total non-operating expense, net improved 13.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to lower net interest expense of 18.1% as a result of higher interest income from higher cash balances and higher interest rates as well as our continued deleveraging actions and higher pension and OPEB non-service net benefit, partially offset by unfavorable transactional foreign currency impacts.
26

Income taxes benefit (expense)
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Effective tax rate 21  % 28  %
The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in net discrete tax expense. We recognized a $5.7 million discrete tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $7.5 million discrete tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Refer to Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9, "Income Tax" for discussion regarding our effective tax rate.

Net sales
The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023 (in percentages):
Financial Volume Price and Sales Mix Currency Total
Americas net sales 7.5  % 3.1  % 0.0  % 10.6  %
Net sales increased 10.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, driven by higher financial volumes and favorable price and sales mix.
Financial volumes increased 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to an increase in U.S. volumes driven by volume growth in our core brands, partially offset by lower contract brewing volumes related to the wind down of a contract brewing arrangement leading up to the termination by the end of 2024. The increase in U.S. volume was impacted by the continued shifts in consumer purchasing behavior largely within the premium beer segment and the building of distributor inventory levels to support the peak summer selling season and to mitigate the impact of the Fort Worth brewery strike that commenced in mid-February 2024.
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 3.1% primarily due to increased net pricing and favorable sales mix as a result of lower contract brewing volumes in the U.S. related to the wind down of a contract brewing arrangement leading up to the termination by the end of 2024.
A discussion of currency impacts on net sales is included in the "Foreign currency impacts on results" section above.
27

Income (loss) before income taxes
Income before income taxes improved 37.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to prior year, primarily due to higher financial volumes, increased net pricing, favorable sales mix and cost savings initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses, as well as higher MG&A expense. Higher MG&A spend was primarily due to increased marketing investment to support our brands and innovations.
EMEA&APAC Segment

(2)Excludes royalty volume of 0.218 million hectoliters and 0.156 million hectoliters for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 respectively.
The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to March 31, 2023 (in percentages):
Financial Volume Price and Sales Mix Currency Total
EMEA&APAC net sales (0.2) % 8.2  % 2.9  % 10.9  %
Net sales increased 10.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, driven by favorable price and sales mix as well as favorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by slightly unfavorable financial volumes.
Financial volumes slightly decreased 0.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year primarily due to lower volumes in Western Europe impacted by challenges in the U.K. off-premise, partially offset by increased volumes in Central and Eastern Europe as inflation pressures ease for this market.
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 by 8.2%, primarily due to increased net pricing to customers and favorable sales mix driven by premiumization.
A discussion of currency impacts on net sales is included in the "Foreign currency impacts on results" section above.
Income (loss) before income taxes
Loss before income taxes improved $14.4 million or 56.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior year, primarily due to increased net pricing to customers and favorable sales mix, partially offset by higher MG&A expense. Higher MG&A spend was primarily due to increased marketing to support our brands and innovations as well as cost inflation and unfavorable foreign currency impacts.
Unallocated Segment
We have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as "Unallocated" below. Specifically, "Unallocated" activity primarily includes financing-related costs such as interest expense and income, foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances and realized and unrealized changes in fair value on instruments not designated in hedging relationships related to financing and other treasury-related activities and the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment, and all other components remain unallocated.

Cost of goods sold
The unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity derivatives, which are economic hedges, make up substantially all of the activity presented within cost of goods sold in the table above for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss on our commodity derivatives to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility. See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 8, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further information.
Total non-operating income (expense), net
Total non-operating expense, net improved 19.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to lower net interest expense of 17.8% as a result of higher interest income from higher cash balances and higher interest rates as well as our continued deleveraging actions and higher pension and OPEB non-service net benefit, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of transactional foreign currency impacts.
See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, "Debt" for further details on our debt instruments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash provided by operating activities and access to external capital. We continue to monitor world events which may create credit or economic challenges that could adversely impact our profit or operating cash flows and our ability to obtain additional liquidity. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and cash provided by short-term and long-term borrowings, when necessary, will be adequate to meet our ongoing operating requirements, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, capital expenditures and other obligations for the twelve months subsequent to the date of the issuance of this quarterly report and our long-term liquidity requirements. We do not have any restrictions that prevent or limit our ability to declare or pay dividends.
While a significant portion of our cash flows from operating activities are generated within the U.S., our cash balances include cash held outside the U.S. and in currencies other than the USD. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 54% of our cash and cash equivalents were located outside the U.S., largely denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have had and may continue to have a material impact on these foreign cash balances. Cash balances in foreign countries are often subject to additional restrictions. We may, therefore, have difficulties timely repatriating cash held outside the U.S., and such repatriation may be subject to tax. These limitations may affect our ability to fully utilize our cash resources for needs in the U.S. and other countries and may adversely affect our liquidity. To the extent necessary, we accrue for tax consequences on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as they are earned. We may utilize tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. We periodically review and evaluate these plans and strategies, including externally committed and non-committed credit agreements accessible by our Company and each of our operating subsidiaries. We believe these financing arrangements, along with the cash generated from the operations of our U.S. business, are sufficient to fund our current cash needs in the U.S.
Cash Flows and Use of Cash
Our business historically generates positive operating cash flows each year and our debt maturities are generally of a longer-term nature. However, our liquidity could be impacted significantly by the risk factors we described in Part I—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report, Part II.—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report and the items listed above.
29

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $25.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $22.0 million compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher net income and lower interest paid, partially offset by the unfavorable timing of working capital. The unfavorable timing of working capital was primarily driven by the timing of cash receipts on trade receivables as well as higher payments for prior year annual incentive compensation.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $212.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $35.1 million compared to $177.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to higher capital expenditures driven by the timing of capital projects.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $216.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $113.7 million compared to $102.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher Class B common stock share repurchases and higher dividend payments.
Capital Resources, including Material Cash Requirements
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of March 31, 2024, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $458.4 million, compared to $868.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and $328.2 million as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2023 was primarily due to capital expenditures, Class B common stock share repurchases and dividends paid, partially offset by the net proceeds from operating activities. The increase in cash and cash equivalents from March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by capital expenditures, net debt repayments, including the repayment of our CAD 500 million 2.84% notes which matured in July 2023, dividend payments, Class B common stock share repurchases as well as cash paid for acquisitions.

4847
Based on the credit profile of our lenders that are party to our credit facilities, we are confident in our ability to draw on our amended and restated revolving credit facility if the need arises. As of March 31, 2024, we had $2.0 billion available to draw on our $2.0 billion amended and restated revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings drawn on this amended and restated revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings.
We intend to further utilize our cross-border, cross currency cash pool as well as our commercial paper programs for liquidity as needed. We also have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities across several banks should we need additional short-term liquidity.
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
The maximum net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, as defined by the amended and restated revolving credit facility agreement, was 4.00x as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and covenants, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of March 31, 2024 rank pari-passu.
See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, "Debt" for further discussion of our borrowings and available sources of borrowings, including lines of credit.
Guarantees
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. See Part I.Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.
Material Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
There were no material changes to our material cash requirements from contractual and other obligations outside the ordinary course of business or due to factors similar in nature to inflation, changing prices on operations or changes in the remaining terms of the contracts since December 31, 2023, as reported in Part II.— Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, "Material Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations" in our Annual Report.
Credit Rating
Our current long-term credit ratings are BBB/Stable Outlook, Baa2/Positive Outlook and BBB/Stable Outlook with Standard & Poor's, Moody's and DBRS, respectively. Our short-term credit ratings are A-2, Prime-2 and R-2, respectively. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and it may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the applicable rating agency.

These senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries of MCBC, which are listed in Exhibit 22 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Subsidiary Guarantors, and together with the Parent Issuer, the "Obligor Group"). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Issuer. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
None of our other outstanding debt was issued in a transaction that was registered with the SEC, and such other outstanding debt is issued or otherwise generally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Obligor Group or other consolidated subsidiaries of MCBC. These other guarantees are also full and unconditional and joint and several.
As of March 31, 2024, the senior notes and related guarantees rank pari-passu with all other unsubordinated debt of the Obligor Group and senior to all future subordinated debt of the Obligor Group. The guarantees can be released upon the sale or transfer of a Subsidiary Guarantors' capital stock or substantially all of its assets, or if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a guarantor under our other outstanding debt.
See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, "Debt" for details of all debt issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
The following summarized financial information relates to the Obligor Group as of March 31, 2024 on a combined basis, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances between the Obligor Group, and excluding the investments in and equity in the earnings of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

In the event the Committee decides that all or a portion of the Award Amount is to be paid in cash, the Award Amount payable in cash will be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Shares settled in cash, determined as of the close of business on the Vesting Date (or, if the Vesting Date is not a business day, the last day in which Shares were traded prior to the Vesting Date).
(b)    Change in Control. Subject to Article 23 of the Incentive Plan, in the event a Change in Control occurs in accordance with Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement, the Award Amount for an outstanding Award will be payable by your Employer in publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control (“Securities”) or in cash, or in a combination of Securities and cash, at the Committee's discretion, within ninety (90) days following the Vesting Date set forth in the Award Notice. In the event the Committee decides that all or a portion of the Award Amount is to be paid in cash, the Award Amount payable in cash will be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Securities settled in cash, determined as of the close of business on the last day in the Performance Period (as determined in accordance with Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement) in which Securities were traded. Notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, if your employment is terminated in connection with or during the period of two (2) years after a Change in Control, other than for Cause, the Award Amount will be payable as soon as practicable after the date of such termination of employment, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs. Any existing deferrals or other restrictions not waived by the Committee in its sole discretion shall remain in effect.
(c) Eligibility, Clawback. To be eligible for payment of any Award Amount, you must (i) remain continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate through the Vesting Date (except in the case of death, disability, involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or Retirement as described below), and (ii) otherwise have complied with Company and Employer policies (including any applicable restrictive covenants), at all times prior to the actual payment of the Award Amount. The Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy applies to all Awards to executive officers and directors and may apply, at the discretion of the Committee, to other Award recipients, and you are encouraged to review the Policy. In addition, if the Committee determines within twelve (12) months following the date a Performance Share Unit Award is paid that you, prior to the date of payment of such Performance Share Unit Award, failed to comply with Company and Employer policies (including any applicable restrictive covenants), the Performance Share Unit Award may be subject to clawback in accordance with the Company’s policies.


Exhibit 10.4
4.2 Termination of Employment Status and Other Events. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
(a)    Termination of Employment Status (other than by reason of death, disability, involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or Retirement). If you initiate a termination of employment (other than in the event of Retirement, involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or disability), or if the Employer initiates your termination of employment whether or not for Cause, in either case prior to the Vesting Date, then the Performance Share Unit Award will thereupon be forfeited and will be cancelled on the date that you cease to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate.
(b)    Death, Disability, Involuntary Termination with Severance due to Restructure or Reduction in Force or Retirement. If you have a Separation from Service triggered by your death, disability (as determined in the discretion of the Committee), involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, then the Award Amount will not be adjusted unless such Separation from Service occurs before the last day of the Vesting Period, in which case the Award Amount for the Performance Share Unit Award will be adjusted by multiplying the Award Amount as of the last day of the Vesting Date (as though you had remained employed) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed in the Vesting Period (from grant date to vest date) prior to the Separation from Service, and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Vesting Period. The adjusted Award Amount will be paid at the same time as for other Performance Share Unit Awards for the Performance Period.
(c)    Change in Control. The Performance Period will end on the effective date of a Change in Control with respect to your Employer. In that event the Award Amount will be determined by assuming that the Final Award Percentage for the Performance Period equals 100%.
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1    Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of vested Performance Share Units, you will accrue dividend equivalents on Performance Share Units equal to any cash dividend or cash distribution that would have been paid on the Performance Share Unit had that Performance Share Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Class B common stock of the Company on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Performance Share Unit to which they relate, including any modification for Performance Level (and will be payable with respect to any Shares that are issued or that are withheld pursuant to Section 5.5 in order to satisfy your tax withholding obligations), (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash and paid in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, and (iii) will not bear or accrue interest.

5.3    Performance Share Unit Awards Not Transferable. The Performance Share Unit Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

5.4    Beneficiary Designation. In the event of your death prior to the payment of any Performance Share Unit Award to which you are otherwise entitled, payment shall be made to yours then-effective beneficiary or beneficiaries under the Employer-paid group term life insurance arrangement, unless you are

Your Employer shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to your Employer, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law, or regulation to be withheld with respect to any payments under this Agreement. To satisfy any such payment obligation with respect to the issuance or delivery of Shares in settlement of any Performance Share Unit Award, you agree that the Company shall have the right to withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise deliverable to you in settlement of the Performance Share Unit Award having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Incentive Plan), as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. Alternatively, the Company may require you, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Company or any Affiliate with respect to the Performance Share Unit Award.

(a)    Determination of the Preliminary Award Percentage. The “Preliminary Award Percentage” shall be the percentage of the Target Performance Share Unit Award attributable to the Company's percentage achievement of the Target Cumulative Underlying EPS over the Performance Period, as set forth on Appendix A attached to this Agreement.

4. SETTLEMENT OF PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD.
4.1    If the Threshold Performance Target for the Performance Share Unit Award is satisfied and certified by the Committee, then, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Incentive Plan, the Award Amount will be paid as follows:
(a)    Usual Timing. If you are subject to U.S. federal income tax, the Award Amount will be paid by your Employer in Shares or in cash, or in a combination of Shares and cash, at the Committee's discretion, as soon as practicable after the Vesting Date, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs. In the event the Committee decides that all or a portion of the Award Amount is to be paid in cash, the Award Amount payable in cash will be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Shares settled in cash, determined as of the close of business on the Vesting Date (or, if the Vesting Date is not a business day, the last day in which Shares were traded prior to the Vesting Date).
(b)    Change in Control. Subject to Article 23 of the Incentive Plan, in the event a Change in Control occurs in accordance with Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement, the Award Amount for an outstanding Award will be payable by your Employer in publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control (“Securities”) or in cash, or in a combination of Securities and cash, at the Committee's discretion, within ninety (90) days following the Vesting Date set forth in the Award Notice. In the event the Committee decides that all or a portion of the Award Amount is to be paid in cash, the Award Amount payable in cash will be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Securities settled in cash, determined as of the close of business on the last day in the Performance Period (as determined in accordance with Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement) in which Securities were traded. Notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, if your employment is terminated in connection with or during the period of two (2) years after a Change in Control, other than for Cause, the Award Amount will be payable as soon as practicable after the date of such termination of employment, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs. Any existing deferrals or other restrictions not waived by the Committee in its sole discretion shall remain in effect.


Exhibit 10.7
(c) Eligibility, Clawback. To be eligible for payment of any Award Amount, you must (i) remain continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate through the Vesting Date (except in the case of death, disability, involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or Retirement as described below), and (ii) otherwise have complied with Company and Employer policies (including any applicable restrictive covenants), at all times prior to the actual payment of the Award Amount. The Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy applies to all Awards to executive officers and directors and may apply, at the discretion of the Committee, to other Award recipients, and you are encouraged to review the Policy. In addition, if the Committee determines within twelve (12) months following the date a Performance Share Unit Award is paid that you, prior to the date of payment of such Performance Share Unit Award, failed to comply with Company and Employer policies (including any applicable restrictive covenants), the Performance Share Unit Award may be subject to clawback in accordance with the Company’s policies.
4.2    Termination of Employment Status and Other Events. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
(a)    Termination of Employment Status (other than by reason of death, disability, involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or Retirement). If you initiate a termination of employment (other than in the event of Retirement, involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or disability), or if the Employer initiates your termination of employment whether or not for Cause, in either case prior to the Vesting Date, then the Performance Share Unit Award will thereupon be forfeited and will be cancelled on the date that you cease to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate.
(b)    Death, Disability, Involuntary Termination with Severance due to Restructure or Reduction in Force or Retirement. If you have a Separation from Service triggered by your death, disability (as determined in the discretion of the Committee), involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, then the Award Amount will not be adjusted unless such Separation from Service occurs before the last day of the Vesting Period, in which case the Award Amount for the Performance Share Unit Award will be adjusted by multiplying the Award Amount as of the last day of the Vesting Date (as though you had remained employed) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed in the Vesting Period (from grant date to vest date) prior to the Separation from Service, and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Vesting Period. The adjusted Award Amount will be paid at the same time as for other Performance Share Unit Awards for the Performance Period.
(c)    Change in Control. The Performance Period will end on the effective date of a Change in Control with respect to your Employer. In that event the Award Amount will be determined by assuming that the Final Award Percentage for the Performance Period equals 100%.
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1    Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of vested Performance Share Units, you will accrue dividend equivalents on Performance Share Units equal to any cash dividend or cash distribution that would have been paid on the Performance Share Unit had that Performance Share Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Class B common stock of the Company on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Performance Share Unit to which they relate, including any modification for Performance Level (and will be payable with respect to any Shares that are issued or that are withheld pursuant to Section 5.5 in order to satisfy your tax withholding obligations), (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash and paid in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, and (iii) will not bear or accrue interest. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local taxes, domestic or foreign income withholding taxes as provided in Section 5.5. Upon the forfeiture of the Performance Share Units, any accrued dividend equivalents attributable to such Performance Share Units will also be forfeited.
5.2    No Rights as a Stockholder. Unless otherwise provided in Section 4.4 of the Incentive Plan, you shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Performance Share Units or underlying Shares unless and until such Performance Share Units vest and Shares have been delivered to you upon settlement of the Performance Share Units.
5.3    Performance Share Unit Awards Not Transferable. The Performance Share Unit Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted assignment or transfer shall be null and void and shall extinguish, in the Committee's sole discretion, the Employer's obligation to pay any portion of your Performance Share Unit Award.


Exhibit 10.7
5.4    Beneficiary Designation. In the event of your death prior to the payment of any Performance Share Unit Award to which you are otherwise entitled, payment shall be made to yours then-effective beneficiary or beneficiaries under the Employer-paid group term life insurance arrangement, unless you are a resident of Quebec, Canada. In that case, any beneficiary designation or revocation of such beneficiary designation made by you must be made through a will, a copy of which should be filed with the Committee.
5.5    Withholding Taxes. Your Employer shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to your Employer, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law, or regulation to be withheld with respect to any payments under this Agreement. To satisfy any such payment obligation with respect to the issuance or delivery of Shares in settlement of any Performance Share Unit Award, you agree that the Company shall have the right to withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise deliverable to you in settlement of the Performance Share Unit Award having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Incentive Plan), as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. Alternatively, the Company may require you, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Company or any Affiliate with respect to the Performance Share Unit Award.
5.6    Personal Information. You agree that the Company and its suppliers or vendors may collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes of the implementation, management, administration and termination of the Performance Share Unit Award and the Incentive Plan.
5.7    Non-Guarantee of Employment Relationship or Future Awards. Nothing in the Plan, the Award Notice or this Agreement will alter your at-will or other employment status with the Company or an Affiliate, nor be construed as a contract of employment between you and the Company or an Affiliate, or as a contractual right for you to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge you at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such discharge results in the forfeiture of any of your PSUs, or as a right to any future Awards.
5.8    Amendment. The Committee may amend, alter, modify, suspend or terminate the Award Notice or this Agreement at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part. Termination of this Agreement shall be subject to the consideration of the effects thereof under Section 409A of the Code.

Except for termination of employment due to Retirement (defined in the Agreement), involuntary termination with severance due to restructure or reduction in force, death or disability, any unvested portion of the Award will be forfeited and/or cancelled on the date you cease to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate.

Settlement Date: Each vested RSU will be settled in Shares as soon as practicable following vesting but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs.

Effect of Termination
of Employment: To the extent not already vested or previously forfeited, a portion of the unvested RSUs will vest based on the ratio of the number of full months of employment completed during the period from the Grant Date to the date of your death, disability or Retirement divided by the total number of months remaining until the Award would have been fully vested. Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this paragraph or any other agreement between you and the Company to the contrary, in the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date due to your Retirement, the Award will continue to vest in accordance with its terms so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (a) you work with the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") in good faith to arrive at a mutually agreeable time period for giving the Board prior notice of your intention to retire and a mutually agreeable transition plan for your Retirement; (b) you enter into an extended Confidentiality and Noncompete Agreement on or before your Retirement date; and (c) you continue to comply with the terms and conditions of such Confidentiality and Noncompete Agreement through the Settlement Date of the Award. If such conditions are not satisfied, the provisions of the first sentence of this paragraph will govern. For the avoidance of doubt, if you breach the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality and Noncompete Agreement, the reversion to the first sentence of this paragraph will occur as of the date the Board first notifies you of its determination that such a breach has occurred.

In the event the Committee decides that all or a portion of the Award Amount is to be paid in cash, the Award Amount payable in cash will be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Shares settled in cash, determined as of the close of business on the Vesting Date (or, if the Vesting Date is not a business day, the last day in which Shares were traded prior to the Vesting Date).
(b)    Change in Control. Subject to Article 23 of the Incentive Plan, in the event a Change in Control occurs in accordance with Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement, the Award Amount for an outstanding Award will be payable by your Employer in publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control (“Securities”) or in cash, or in a combination of Securities and cash, at the Committee's discretion, within ninety (90) days following the Vesting Date set forth in the Award Notice. In the event the Committee decides that all or a portion of the Award Amount is to be paid in cash, the Award Amount payable in cash will be an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Securities settled in cash, determined as of the close of business on the last day in the Performance Period (as determined in accordance with Section 4.2(c) of this Agreement) in which Securities were traded. Notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, if your employment is terminated in connection with or during the period of two (2) years after a Change in Control, other than for Cause, the Award Amount will be payable as soon as practicable after the date of such termination of employment, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year in which such termination of employment occurs. Any existing deferrals or other restrictions not waived by the Committee in its sole discretion shall remain in effect.


Exhibit 10.10
(c) Eligibility, Clawback. To be eligible for payment of any Award Amount, you must (i) remain continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate through the Vesting Date (except in the case of death, disability, or Retirement as described below), and (ii) otherwise have complied with Company and Employer policies (including any applicable restrictive covenants), at all times prior to the actual payment of the Award Amount. The Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy applies to all Awards to executive officers and directors and may apply, at the discretion of the Committee, to other Award recipients, and you are encouraged to review the Policy. In addition, if the Committee determines within twelve (12) months following the date a Performance Share Unit Award is paid that you, prior to the date of payment of such Performance Share Unit Award, failed to comply with Company and Employer policies (including any applicable restrictive covenants), the Performance Share Unit Award may be subject to clawback in accordance with the Company’s policies.
4.2    Termination of Employment Status and Other Events. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
(a)    Termination of Employment Status (other than by reason of death, disability, or Retirement). If you initiate a termination of employment (other than in the event of Retirement or disability), or if the Employer initiates your termination of employment whether or not for Cause, in either case prior to the Vesting Date, then the Performance Share Unit Award will thereupon be forfeited and will be cancelled on the date that you cease to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate.
(b)    Death, Disability, or Retirement. If you have a Separation from Service triggered by your death, disability (as determined in the discretion of the Committee), or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, then the Award Amount will not be adjusted unless such Separation from Service occurs before the last day of the Vesting Period, in which case the Award Amount for the Performance Share Unit Award will be adjusted by multiplying the Award Amount as of the last day of the Vesting Date (as though you had remained employed) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed in the Vesting Period (from grant date to vest date) prior to the Separation from Service, and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Vesting Period. The adjusted Award Amount will be paid at the same time as for other Performance Share Unit Awards for the Performance Period.
(c)    Change in Control. The Performance Period will end on the effective date of a Change in Control with respect to your Employer. In that event the Award Amount will be determined by assuming that the Final Award Percentage for the Performance Period equals 100%.
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1    Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of vested Performance Share Units, you will accrue dividend equivalents on Performance Share Units equal to any cash dividend or cash distribution that would have been paid on the Performance Share Unit had that Performance Share Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Class B common stock of the Company on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Performance Share Unit to which they relate, including any modification for Performance Level (and will be payable with respect to any Shares that are issued or that are withheld pursuant to Section 5.5 in order to satisfy your tax withholding obligations), (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash and paid in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, and (iii) will not bear or accrue interest. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local taxes, domestic or foreign income withholding taxes as provided in Section 5.5. Upon the forfeiture of the Performance Share Units, any accrued dividend equivalents attributable to such Performance Share Units will also be forfeited.
5.2     No Rights as a Stockholder. Unless otherwise provided in Section 4.4 of the Incentive Plan, you shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Performance Share Units or underlying Shares unless and until such Performance Share Units vest and Shares have been delivered to you upon settlement of the Performance Share Units.
5.3    Performance Share Unit Awards Not Transferable. The Performance Share Unit Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted assignment or transfer shall be null and void and shall extinguish, in the Committee's sole discretion, the Employer's obligation to pay any portion of your Performance Share Unit Award.
5.4    Beneficiary Designation. In the event of your death prior to the payment of any Performance Share Unit Award to which you are otherwise entitled, payment shall be made to yours then-effective beneficiary or beneficiaries under the Employer-paid group term life insurance arrangement, unless you are


Exhibit 10.10
a resident of Quebec, Canada. In that case, any beneficiary designation or revocation of such beneficiary designation made by you must be made through a will, a copy of which should be filed with the Committee.
5.5    Withholding Taxes. Your Employer shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to your Employer, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law, or regulation to be withheld with respect to any payments under this Agreement. To satisfy any such payment obligation with respect to the issuance or delivery of Shares in settlement of any Performance Share Unit Award, you agree that the Company shall have the right to withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise deliverable to you in settlement of the Performance Share Unit Award having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Incentive Plan), as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. Alternatively, the Company may require you, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Company or any Affiliate with respect to the Performance Share Unit Award.
5.6    Personal Information. You agree that the Company and its suppliers or vendors may collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes of the implementation, management, administration and termination of the Performance Share Unit Award and the Incentive Plan.
5.7    Non-Guarantee of Employment Relationship or Future Awards. Nothing in the Plan, the Award Notice or this Agreement will alter your at-will or other employment status with the Company or an Affiliate, nor be construed as a contract of employment between you and the Company or an Affiliate, or as a contractual right for you to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge you at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such discharge results in the forfeiture of any of your PSUs, or as a right to any future Awards.
