SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “toward,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:
•our expectations regarding, and potential fluctuations in, our future operating and financial performance, including our ability to achieve, maintain and increase long-term future profitability;
•our ability to successfully execute our business and growth strategy;
•the continued growth of the retail market, changes in consumer preferences and spending patterns, and the increased acceptance of online transactions by potential customers;
•the size of our addressable market segments, market share, and market trends;
•our ability to compete in our industry;
•our ability to maintain and improve our market position;
•our ability to manage expansion into new geographies and offerings;
•our ability to effectively manage the continued growth of our workforce and operations;
•our planned investments in new products and offerings, and the effect of these investments on our results of operations;
•our ability to effectively integrate acquisitions, including our acquisition of Farfetch Holdings plc (“Farfetch”), and realize the anticipated benefits of such transactions;
•the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, and investments, to meet our liquidity needs;
•our ability to retain existing suppliers and merchants and to add new suppliers and merchants;
•our suppliers’ and merchants’ ability to supply high-quality and compliant merchandise to our customers;

•our estimates and assumptions related to our effective tax rate;
•the impact of world events such as natural disasters, acts of war or geopolitical conflicts, terrorism or disease outbreaks;
•the effects of global macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, inflationary pressures, a general economic slowdown or recession, interest rate fluctuations, the imposition of additional or increased tariffs or other trade barriers, and changes in monetary policy;
•our ability to attract, retain, and motivate skilled personnel, including key members of our senior management;
•our ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations, including tax laws, that currently apply or may become applicable to our business both in Korea and internationally and our expectations regarding various laws, regulations, and restrictions that relate to our business;
•the outcomes of any claims, litigation, governmental audits, inspections, and investigations; and
•the other factors set forth in Part 1, Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in Part 1, Item 1A, under the section titled “Risk Factors,” of our 2024 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements such as “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Form 10-Q. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect new information, actual results, revised expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Among other things, our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Investors and others should note that we may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (https://ir.aboutcoupang.com), our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), webcasts, press releases, conference calls, and social media. We use these mediums to communicate with investors and the general public about our company, our products, and other issues. It is possible that the information that we make available on our investor relations website may be deemed to be material information. We therefore encourage investors and others interested in our company to review the information that we make available on our investor relations website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the information contained on our investor relations website as referenced in this paragraph is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q or any other report or document we file with the SEC.

COUPANG, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.     Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Coupang, Inc. (“Coupang” or the “Company”) together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
The unaudited interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the results of the interim period. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Farfetch Acquisition
In January 2024, we acquired the business and assets of Farfetch Holdings plc (“Farfetch”), a leading global marketplace for the luxury fashion industry (the “Farfetch Acquisition”). Refer to Note 11 — "Business Combinations - Farfetch" for additional information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard requires disclosure of specific categories of an entity’s income tax expenses and income taxes paid among other disclosures. Early adoption is allowed under the standard. The ASU is effective for our 2025 annual period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements, and we expect the adoption of the standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”, which requires public entities to disaggregate significant expense categories within functional line items to enhance transparency and comparability in financial reporting. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date and provides additional implementation guidance for ASU 2024-03 to ensure consistent application. Both standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning with the period ending March 31, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of adopting these standards on our financial reporting and disclosures.
2.    Net Revenues
Details of total net revenues were as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)
2025 2024 2025 2024
Net retail sales $ 6,507  $ 5,779  $ 12,595  $ 11,674 
Third-party merchant services 1,755  1,374  3,317  2,421 
Other revenue 262  170  520  342 
Total net revenues $ 8,524  $ 7,323  $ 16,432  $ 14,437 
This level of revenue disaggregation takes into consideration how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Net retail sales are recognized from owned inventory product sales to consumers. Third-party merchant services represent commissions, advertising, and delivery fees from merchants and restaurants that sell their products through our online businesses. Other revenue includes revenue from our Rocket WOW membership program and various other offerings.
Contract liabilities consist of payments in advance of delivery and customer loyalty credits, which are included in “Deferred revenue” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognized revenue of $139 million and $92 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily related to payments in advance of products and services delivered which were included in “Deferred revenue” on the consolidated balance sheets as of the beginning of the respective years.
3.    Segment Reporting
We own and operate a retail business that primarily serves the Korean retail market along with other international markets. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. We have two operating and reportable segments: Product Commerce and Developing Offerings. These segments are based on how the CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance.
Product Commerce primarily includes our core Korean retail (owned inventory) and marketplace offerings (third-party merchants) and Rocket Fresh, our fresh grocery category offering, as well as advertising products associated with these offerings. Revenues from Product Commerce are derived primarily from online product sales of owned inventory to customers in Korea, commissions and logistics and fulfillment fees from merchants that sell products through our mobile application and website, and from our Rocket WOW membership program.
Developing Offerings includes our more nascent offerings and services, including Eats, our restaurant ordering and delivery service, Play, our online content streaming service in Korea, fintech, our retail operations in Taiwan, as well as advertising products associated with these offerings, and also includes Farfetch, our global luxury fashion marketplace. Revenues from Developing Offerings are primarily generated from Farfetch, Eats, and retail operations in Taiwan.
The CODM uses two profitability measures, Segment Gross Profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, in assessing segment performance and allocating resources to each segment. Segment Gross Profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated on a monthly basis by our CODM by monitoring actual results versus prior periods. This comparison is performed to make strategic assessments and decisions regarding segment profitability, resource allocation, pricing strategies and cost optimization, and whether to reinvest profits into each of these segments or into other initiatives.
Segment Gross Profit is defined as total net revenues less cost of sales attributable to each reportable segment.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes for a period before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, and other income (expense), net. Segment adjusted EBITDA also excludes impairments and other items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations.
We generally allocate operating expenses to the respective segments based on usage. The CODM does not evaluate segments using asset information and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by segment.

Net actuarial loss
Net periodic benefit cost $ 59  $ 45  $ 115  $ 90 
5.    Income Taxes
Our tax provision from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. No income tax benefit was accrued for jurisdictions where we anticipate incurring a loss during the full fiscal year as the related deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance. Our resulting effective tax rate differs from the applicable statutory rate, primarily due to tax credits, U.S. taxes on foreign earnings such as the inclusion of the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions, the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in loss making jurisdictions, and other permanent differences.
The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to the loss before income taxes incurred by Farfetch in the prior year period, with no offsetting tax benefit, the impact of the non-deductible KFTC administrative fine (the “administrative fine”) in the prior year period discussed in Note 10 — "Commitments and Contingencies", and the decrease in U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA introduces a broad range of tax reform provisions, including modifications to the international tax framework and changes to certain business-related exclusions, deductions, and credits. Certain provisions are effective starting in 2025. As the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period of enactment, the impacts of the OBBBA are not included in our results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We are currently assessing its impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
6.    Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Coupang stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Coupang stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period.
We have two classes of common stock outstanding, Class A common stock and Class B common stock (collectively “common stock”), with equal rights to dividends and income. Earnings per share attributable to Coupang stockholders are therefore the same for Class A and Class B common stock, both on an individual and combined basis.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period that have yet to be recognized in income. The major components are foreign currency translation adjustments and actuarial gains (losses) on our defined severance benefits. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the ending balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to foreign currency translation adjustments was $(160) million and $(309) million, respectively, and the amount related to actuarial losses on defined severance benefits was $(90) million and $(95) million, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $1 billion of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. We may repurchase shares of Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The program has no expiration date, and we are not obligated to repurchase any portion of our total authorization. There were no repurchases of our Class A common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
9.    Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2025, we entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), replacing our prior revolving credit and guaranty agreement entered into in February 2021, which was terminated in connection with the entry into the new Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for syndicated, unsecured revolving loans with a total borrowing capacity of up to $1.5 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate, including but not limited to Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2025, there was no balance outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.
In July 2025, we borrowed $425 million under the Revolving Credit Facility primarily to finance the redemption of the syndicated term loans assumed by Surpique LP (the “Limited Partnership”) as part of the Farfetch Acquisition (“Farfetch Term Loans”).
Farfetch Term Loans
As of June 30, 2025, $392 million was outstanding under the Farfetch Term Loans.
In July 2025, we fully redeemed the Farfetch Term Loans financed by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Our long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on our current interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates its fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due primarily to the interest rates approximating market interest rates.
We were in compliance with the financial covenants for each of our borrowings and debt agreements as of June 30, 2025.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Long-term contractual commitments primarily include operating leases, long-term debt, and unconditional purchase obligations. Unconditional purchase obligations include legally binding contracts with terms in excess of one year that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. These contractual commitments primarily relate to purchases of technology related services, fulfillment center construction contracts, content, and software licenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into various new unrecognized long-term contract commitments with remaining payments as of June 30, 2025 of $668 million through 2033. For contracts with variable terms, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum pricing as of the reporting date.
Legal Matters
From time to time, we may become party to litigation incidents and other legal proceedings, including regulatory proceedings, in the ordinary course of business. We assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes with respect to these matters and determine loss contingency assessments on a gross basis after assessing the probability of incurrence of a loss and whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, we consider other relevant factors that could impact our ability to reasonably estimate a loss. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analyzing each matter. Our reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in strategy in handling these matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of currently pending legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Litigation
On August 26, 2022, a putative class action was filed on behalf of all purchasers of Coupang Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to Coupang’s registration statement issued in connection with our initial public offering. Choi v. Coupang, Inc. et al. was brought against Coupang and certain of its former and current directors, current officers, and certain underwriters of the offering. The action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging inaccurate and misleading or omitted statements of material fact in Coupang's Registration Statement in violation of Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The action was amended in May 2023, and added allegations of securities fraud under Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The action seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs and expenses. Between August and December 2023, three separate stockholders’ derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in December 2024 and March 2025, derivative actions were filed in Delaware Chancery Court, in each case against certain of Coupang’s former and current directors and current officers. Coupang was named as a nominal defendant in the various derivative actions. Aside from the aforementioned actions, there have been additional Delaware Section 220 records inspection demands. These derivative actions and related demands purport to assert claims on behalf of Coupang and make substantially similar factual allegations to Choi v. Coupang, Inc. et al., bringing claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of securities laws. The actions seek compensatory damages, governance reforms, and other relief. We intend to vigorously defend against the aforementioned actions. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. Accordingly, we can provide no assurances as to the scope and outcome of these matters and no assurances as to whether our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected. In February and March 2025, we received demands on the Board of Directors alleging claims similar to those in the class and derivative actions and demanding civil actions by the Board against certain current and former directors and officers. Those demands have been provided to the Board of Directors to evaluate.
Korean Fair Trade Commission Investigations
In June 2021, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (the “KFTC”) initiated an investigation into a potential violation of the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act by two of our Korean subsidiaries, Coupang Corp. and Coupang Private Label Brands (“CPLB”), including certain alleged treatment of private labelled products provided by CPLB. In June 2024, the KFTC publicly announced that as a result of their investigation, they determined that Coupang Corp.’s product rankings disclosure violated Korean law (a regulatory finding subject to judicial review), and that they would impose an administrative fine on Coupang Corp., direct Coupang Corp. and CPLB to take certain related corrective actions, and refer the matter for criminal prosecution. In the second quarter of 2024, we accrued an administrative fine of approximately $121 million. Coupang Corp. will pay the administrative fine in six installments over two years and made the first payment in October 2024 and will make the last payment in June 2026.
In August 2024, Coupang Corp. and CPLB received the KFTC’s formal written decision, and in September 2024, Coupang Corp. and CPLB appealed such decision. That appeal is pending. Hearings of the administrative litigation action were held in November 2024, March 2025, June 2025, July 2025, and a fifth hearing is scheduled for September 2025. Coupang Corp. and CPLB also filed a preliminary injunction with the Seoul High Court to stay the fine and corrective orders during the pendency of the appeal. In October 2024, the Seoul High Court granted Coupang Corp.’s and CPLB’s request for suspension of the KFTC’s corrective orders,

but dismissed the request for a stay of the KFTC’s administrative fine. The KFTC subsequently appealed the Seoul High Court’s decision to grant a suspension of the corrective orders and in February 2025, the Supreme Court of Korea dismissed the KFTC’s appeal. In response to the KFTC’s criminal referral, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office initiated a criminal investigation into Coupang Corp. and CPLB.
The Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors’ Office issued an indictment dated May 1, 2025, on the same underlying facts as the administrative case, and the first hearing is scheduled for October 2025. The maximum penalty under the indictment is a fine of approximately $200,000. We intend to vigorously defend against these charges in court.
The KFTC is also investigating Coupang Corp. on other matters related to the alleged violations of certain KFTC regulations. Coupang Corp. is diligently cooperating with these investigations, and actively defending its practices as appropriate.
Under Korean law, the issues addressed in the investigations can be resolved through civil, administrative, or criminal proceedings. The ultimate case resolution could include fines, orders to alter our processes or procedures, and criminal investigations or charges against individuals or us. We cannot reasonably estimate any penalties, loss or range of loss that may arise from these other KFTC investigations, in excess of the amounts accrued. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of these matters and no assurance as to whether our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected.
11.    Business Combinations – Farfetch
Farfetch Acquisition
On January 30, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Farfetch. We acquired Farfetch primarily to allow us to expand into luxury retail. We have accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. Total purchase consideration consisted of amounts previously funded to Farfetch under a loan prior to acquisition (the “Bridge Loan”) and required partial repayment of the Farfetch Term Loans at the close of the transaction.

The pro forma results include adjustments related to the business combination, including amortization of acquired intangibles, stock-based compensation, lease expense, and income taxes.
Following the Farfetch Acquisition, we have continued to undertake various restructuring actions, including the early exit of certain assumed contractual obligations. In February 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Authentic Brands Group LLC related to a license agreement that terminated guaranteed minimum royalty payments totaling $264 million over the eight remaining years of the agreement.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
In December 2023, we established the Limited Partnership for the purposes of providing the Bridge Loan and acquiring all of the business and assets of Farfetch. The Limited Partnership was initially owned 80.1% by Coupang, Inc. and 19.9% by certain funds advised or managed by Greenoaks Capital Partners, LLC (“Greenoaks”), a related party. The Limited Partnership is included in the Company’s consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
On April 7, 2025, we entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Greenoaks resulting in the indirect acquisition of the Limited Partnership partner units representing all of Greenoaks’ equity interest in the Limited Partnership, and all rights and obligations associated with such limited partner units. Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, we paid to Greenoaks consideration with a fair value of $122 million consisting of a $14 million cash payment and the issuance of 5,465,099 shares of our Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $108 million based on the closing market price of $19.76 per share on the acquisition date.
Mr. Neil Mehta, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, has served as a Managing Partner of Greenoaks since April 2012. Greenoaks and certain funds and accounts to which Greenoaks serves as the investment adviser and related persons or entities, including Mr. Mehta, have ownership interests in our Class A common stock.

Net Revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer and Constant Currency Net Revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer
Net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is the total Product Commerce net revenues generated in a period divided by the total number of Product Commerce Active Customers in that period. A key driver of growth is increasing the frequency and the level of spend of customers who are shopping on our Product Commerce apps or websites. We therefore view net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer as a key indicator of engagement and retention of our customers and our ability to drive future revenue growth, though there may be a short-term dilutive impact when a large number of new Product Commerce active customers are added in a recent period.

Constant currency net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is the total Product Commerce net revenues generated in a period translated using the prior period exchange rate to exclude the effect of foreign exchange rate movements divided by the total number of Product Commerce Active Customers in that period. Constant currency net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer is a key indicator to evaluate net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer between periods as it excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of customer engagement and retention.
Product Commerce Active Customers
As of the last date of each quarterly reported period, we determine our number of Product Commerce Active Customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered at least once directly from our Product Commerce apps or websites during the relevant quarterly period. A customer is anyone who has created an account on our apps or websites, identified by a unique email address. The change in Product Commerce Active Customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the period. We view the number of Product Commerce Active Customers as an indicator of future growth in our net revenue, the reach of our network, the awareness of our brand, and the engagement of our customers.

Total Net Revenues
We categorize our total net revenues as (1) net retail sales and (2) net other revenue. Total net revenues incorporate reductions for estimated returns, promotional discounts, and earned loyalty rewards and exclude amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as value added taxes. We periodically provide customers with promotional discounts to retail prices, such as percentage discounts and other similar offers, to incentivize increased customer spending and loyalty. These promotional discounts are discretionary and are reflected as reductions to the selling price and revenue recognized on each corresponding transaction. Loyalty rewards are offered as part of revenue transactions to all retail customers, whereby rewards are earned as a percentage of each purchase, for the customer to apply towards the purchase price of a future transaction. We defer a portion of revenue from each originating transaction, based on the estimated standalone selling price of the loyalty reward earned, and then recognize the revenue as the loyalty reward is redeemed in a future transaction, or when the reward expires. The amount of the deferred revenue related to these loyalty rewards is not material.

Net retail sales represent the majority of our total net revenues which we earn from online product sales of our owned inventory to customers. Net other revenue includes revenue from commissions from merchants that sell their products through our apps or websites. We are not the merchant of record in these transactions, nor do we take possession of the related inventory. Net other revenue also includes consideration from online restaurant ordering and delivery services performed by us, as well as advertising services provided on our apps or websites. We also earn subscription revenue from memberships to our Rocket WOW membership program, which is also included in net other revenue.
The following table presents our total net revenues by segment.

Total net revenues $ 8,524  $ 7,323  16  % 19  % $ 16,432  $ 14,437  14  % 20  %
The increase in Product Commerce net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to continued growth in our Product Commerce Active Customers and total net revenues per Product Commerce Active Customer, increasing 10% and 6%, year-over-year, respectively, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates, driven by increased customer engagement within and across more product categories. The growth rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were partially offset by 3% and 6%, respectively, from the negative impact of foreign exchange.
The increase in Developing Offerings net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is due to an increase in total net revenues of our growth initiatives in Developing Offerings, as we are seeing greater levels of customer engagement in these early-stage offerings.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales primarily consists of the purchase price of products sold directly to customers where we record revenue gross, and includes logistics costs. Inbound shipping and handling costs to receive products from suppliers are included in inventory and recognized in cost of sales as products are sold. Additionally, cost of sales includes outbound shipping and logistics related expenses, delivery costs from our restaurant delivery business, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Cost of sales increased $782 million or 15% and $1.2 billion or 11% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, mainly due to higher volume from increased sales and customer demand. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased from 70.7% and 71.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to 70.0% and 70.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue is due to a decrease for Product Commerce from 69.7% and 70.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to 67.4% and 68.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting from an increased percentage of revenues earned from higher margin revenue categories and offerings, including revenue earned from Fulfillment and Logistics by Coupang (“FLC”) as we see greater levels of merchant adoption and customer engagement, as well as continued supply chain optimization and further operational efficiencies including automation, innovation, and technology enhancements.
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating, general and administrative expenses include all our operating costs excluding cost of sales, as described above. More specifically, these expenses include costs incurred in operating and staffing our fulfillment centers (including costs attributed to receiving, inspecting, picking, packaging, and preparing customer orders), customer service-related costs, payment processing fees, costs related to the design, execution, and maintenance of our technology infrastructure and online offerings, advertising costs, general corporate function costs, and related depreciation and amortization expense.
The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily reflects increases in technology and infrastructure costs to support our continued growth. Operating, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 29.6% and 28.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 to 28.3% and 27.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is due primarily to the KFTC administrative fine (the “administrative fine”) of $121 million in the prior year periods, partially offset by increased technology and infrastructure costs.
Interest Income
Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our deposits held with financial institutions.
Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 remained relatively flat when compared with the prior year periods.

Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes predominantly in Korea, as well as in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. Foreign jurisdictions have different statutory tax rates than those in the United States. Additionally, certain of our foreign earnings may also be taxable in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate is subject to significant variation and can vary based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss, the relative proportion of foreign to domestic income, use of tax credits, and changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to the loss before income taxes incurred by Farfetch in the prior year periods, with no offsetting tax benefit, the impact of the non-deductible administrative fine in the prior year periods discussed in Note 5 — "Income Taxes" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, and the decrease in U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.
Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 differed from the federal statutory rate due to the impact of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, tax credits used for the period, and the mix of our income before income taxes generated across the various jurisdictions in which we operate, including the impact of international provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and permanent differences from non-deductible expenses. We expect that our effective tax rate in future periods will continue to differ significantly from the applicable statutory rate.
Segment Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
Segment gross profit is defined as net revenues less cost of sales attributable to each reportable segment. Gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by net revenues attributable to each reportable segment.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes for a period before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, and other income (expense), net. Segment adjusted EBITDA also excludes impairments and other items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations.

Product Commerce
The increase in gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in revenue of $903 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Gross profit grew at a faster rate than net revenues due to an increased percentage of revenues earned from higher margin revenue categories and offerings, including revenue earned from FLC as we see greater levels of merchant adoption and customer engagement, as well as continued supply chain optimization and further operational efficiencies including automation, innovation, and technology enhancements.
The increase in Product Commerce adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to the increase in gross profit described above.
Developing Offerings
The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 resulted from a larger portion of our revenue growth in the quarter that was generated from offerings currently experiencing negative gross profit margins. The increase in gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily the result of the increase in revenue described above.
The increased loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 in Developing Offerings adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of increased investments in our Developing Offerings initiatives, including Taiwan, in both the three and six month periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP Measure Definition How We Use The Measure
Free Cash Flow • Cash flow from operations
Less: purchases of property and equipment,
Plus: proceeds from sale of property and equipment.
• Provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our ongoing operations that, after purchases and sales of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet, including paying down debt, repurchasing shares of our Class A Common stock, and paying dividends to stockholders.
Adjusted EBITDA • Net income (loss), excluding the effects of:
- depreciation and amortization,
- interest expense,
- interest income,
- other income (expense), net,
- income tax expense (benefit),
- equity-based compensation,
- impairments, and
- other items not reflective of our ongoing operations.
• Provides information to management to evaluate and assess our performance and allocate internal resources.

• We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies in the retail industry for period-to-period comparisons as they remove the impact of certain items that are not representative of our ongoing business, such as material non-cash items, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs, significant costs related to certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and certain variable charges.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total net revenues.
Constant Currency Revenue • Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant.
• We define constant currency revenue as total revenue excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements, and use it to determine the constant currency revenue growth on a comparative basis.
• Constant currency revenue is calculated by translating current period revenues using the prior period exchange rate.
• The effect of currency exchange rates on our business is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons. Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) and changes in foreign exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results and consolidated trends. For example, our business generates sales predominantly in Korean Won (“KRW”), which are favorably affected as the USD weakens relative to the KRW, and unfavorably affected as the USD strengthens relative to the KRW.

• We use constant currency revenue and constant currency revenue growth for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate comparisons between periods. We believe the presentation of our results on a constant currency basis in addition to U.S. GAAP results helps improve the ability to understand our performance because they exclude the effects of foreign currency volatility that are not indicative of our actual results of operations.
Constant Currency Revenue Growth • Constant currency revenue growth (as a percentage) is calculated by determining the increase in current period revenue over prior period revenue, where current period foreign currency revenue is translated using prior period exchange rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, supplemented through various debt financing arrangements and sales of our equity securities. We had total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $6.9 billion as of June 30, 2025, the majority of which was held by foreign subsidiaries and may not be freely transferable to the United States due to local laws or other restrictions. Additionally, we had $1.5 billion available under our revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2025. See Note 9 — "Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for information on the July 2025 borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and repayment of the Farfetch Term Loans.
The ability of certain subsidiaries to transfer funds or pay dividends to Coupang, Inc. is also restricted due to terms which require the subsidiaries to meet certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain a positive net equity balance or having current period income.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had stockholders’ equity of $4.7 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively. We may incur losses in the future. We expect that our investment into our growth strategy will continue to be significant, particularly with respect to our Developing Offerings segment, which will continue to focus on our newer offerings and entrance into new geographies, as well as overall expansion of our fulfillment, logistics, and technology capabilities. As part of this expansion to fulfill anticipated future customer demand and planned expansion of services, we plan to acquire and build new fulfillment centers. We have entered into various new construction contracts for capital projects which are expected to be completed over the next two years. These contracts have remaining capital expenditures commitments of $374 million as of June 30, 2025. We expect that our future expenditures for both infrastructure and workforce-related costs will exceed several billion dollars over the next several years.
Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $1 billion of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. We may repurchase shares of Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The program has no expiration date, and we are not obligated to repurchase any portion of our total authorization. There were no repurchases of our Class A common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Changes in our cash flows were as follows:

Change in operating assets and liabilities
(192) 85  (277)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 899  $ 876  $ 23 
The year-over-year change in operating cash flow was driven by a $274 million increase in net income, which resulted in net income for the current period, compared to a net loss for the prior-year period. Cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by certain working capital fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities, including $144 million from other assets and $166 million from accrued expenses primarily due to increases in deposits and contract assets and the non-cash administrative fine that was accrued during the prior year period.
Investing Activities
The increase in cash outflow was mainly driven by a $253 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, primarily related to investments made in our fulfillment and logistics infrastructure.
Coupang, Inc.
profile img - icon.jpg
Q2 2025 Form 10-Q
28



Financing Activities
The cash inflow was primarily driven by a $677 million increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt and short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $587 million increase in repayments of debt and short-term borrowings, both of which were due to the timing of maturities. The year-over-year change in financing cash flow is due primarily to the $178 million share repurchase in the prior year period.
We believe that our liquidity requirements, including our operating, investing, and financing needs, will be met by our cash flow from operations, as well as by our balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and our credit facilities for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future if we find and pursue other opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation, or other similar actions, which may include investing in technology, our logistics and fulfillment infrastructure, or related talent. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash on hand or if we decide to change our capital structure, we may seek to issue additional debt or equity securities or obtain credit facilities or other sources of financing. This financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Capital Resources
Long-term contractual commitments primarily include operating leases, long-term debt, and unconditional purchase obligations. We have entered into material unconditional purchase obligations. These contractual commitments primarily relate to the purchase of technology related services, fulfillment center construction contracts, content, and software licenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into various new unrecognized long-term contract commitments with remaining payments as of June 30, 2025 of $668 million through 2033. For contracts with variable terms, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum pricing as of the reporting date.
We generally enter into term loan facility agreements to finance the acquisition of property or construction of our fulfillment centers. These agreements may require that we provide for collateral equal to or greater than the amount borrowed under the arrangement. As we continue to build additional fulfillment centers, we expect our borrowings under debt financing arrangements to continue to increase.
Refer to Note 14 — "Commitments and Contingencies" of our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2024 Form 10-K for disclosure of our minimum contractual commitments.
Our short-term and long-term borrowings generally include lines of credit with financial institutions available to be drawn upon for general operating purposes.
Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2025, we entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), replacing our prior revolving credit and guaranty agreement entered into in February 2021, which was terminated in connection with the entry into the new Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for syndicated, unsecured revolving loans with a total borrowing capacity of up to $1.5 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate, including but not limited to Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2025, there was no balance outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.
In July 2025, we borrowed $425 million under the Revolving Credit Facility primarily to finance the redemption of the syndicated term loans assumed by Surpique LP (the “Limited Partnership”) as part of the Farfetch Acquisition (“Farfetch Term Loans”).
Farfetch Term Loans
As of June 30, 2025, $392 million was outstanding under the Farfetch Term Loans.
In July 2025, we fully redeemed the Farfetch Term Loans financed by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Refer to Note 13 — "Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt" of our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2024 Form 10-K for disclosure of our debt obligations and collateral.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparing these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency, and credit.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $6.9 billion. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Our interest rate risk arises primarily from our variable rate debt as well as our undrawn revolving credit agreements. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose us to variability in cash flows. Our policy, in the management of interest rate risk, is to structure a reasonable balance between fixed and floating rate financial instruments as well as our cash and cash equivalents and any short-term investments we may hold. The balance struck by our management is dependent on prevailing interest rate markets at any point in time.
Our borrowings generally include lines of credit with financial institutions, some of which carry variable interest rates, and the Farfetch Term Loans which carry a variable interest rate. As of June 30, 2025, there was a balance of $648 million outstanding on credit facilities with variable interest rates. Any future borrowings incurred under our revolving credit facilities would accrue interest at rates subject to current market conditions.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have accounts on our foreign subsidiaries’ ledgers, which are maintained in the respective subsidiary’s local currency and translated into USD for reporting of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of various currencies against the USD and other currencies, predominantly the KRW.
Transactional
We generate the majority of our revenue from customers within Korea. Typically, we aim to align costs with revenue denominated in the same currency, but we are not always able to do so. As a result of the geographic spread of our operations and due to our reliance on certain products and services priced in currencies other than KRW, our business, results of operations, and financial condition have been and will continue to be impacted by the volatility of the KRW against foreign currencies.
Translational
Coupang, Inc.’s functional currency and reporting currency is the USD. The local and functional currency for our Korean subsidiary, Coupang Corp., which is our primary operating subsidiary, is the KRW. The other subsidiaries predominantly utilize their local currencies as their functional currencies. Increases or decreases in the value of the USD affect the value of financial statement line items with respect to the non-USD-denominated businesses in the consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. For example, a stronger USD will reduce the reported results of operations of non-USD-denominated businesses and conversely a weaker USD will increase the reported results of operations of non-USD-denominated businesses. An assumed hypothetical 10% adverse change in average exchange rates used to translate foreign currencies to USD would have resulted in a decline in total net revenues of approximately $748 million and $1.4 billion, and an immaterial impact on net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our results of operations.
Credit Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents, deposits, and loans with banks and financial institutions are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. We place cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. The degree of credit risk will vary based on many factors, including the duration of the transaction and the contractual terms of the agreement. As appropriate, management evaluates and approves credit standards and oversees the credit risk management function related to investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to assess whether they are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Farfetch
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Farfetch Limited disclosed the existence of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in Item 15 of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The unremediated material weakness identified and disclosed by Farfetch Limited preceded the Farfetch Acquisition and related to the operating effectiveness of certain business process and information technology controls in the New Guards business. As previously disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K, in accordance with the interpretive guidance issued by the SEC staff, management excluded Farfetch from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. While we did not include Farfetch in our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, we determined the material weakness previously disclosed by Farfetch Limited was not fully remediated as of December 31, 2024 and, based on our preliminary assessment, could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as a result of the ongoing business restructuring and divestiture activities related to the New Guards business, and upon further review and assessment of the impact of Farfetch on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, we now believe that it is not reasonably possible for the material weakness previously disclosed by Farfetch Limited to result in a material misstatement such that the combination of deficiencies previously identified is not a material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Your RSU Award is subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth herein and in the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Global RSU Award Agreement, including any additional terms and conditions for your country set forth in the appendix thereto (the “Appendix” and, together with the Global RSU Award Agreement, the “Agreement”), all of which are incorporated herein in their entirety.

Number of Restricted Stock Units:

Vesting Schedule:    [________________________].
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise set forth herein, vesting shall terminate upon the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, as described in Section 7(m) of the Agreement.
If the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case within twelve (12) months following a Corporate Transaction, then fifty percent (50%) of the then-unvested portion of the RSU Award (or any award into which it was converted in connection with the Corporate Transaction) shall become fully vested.
“Good Reason” means the occurrence after a Corporate Transaction of any of the following events or conditions unless consented to by the Participant (and the Participant shall be deemed to have consented to any such event or condition unless the Participant provides written notice of the Participant’s non-acquiescence within 30 days of the effective time of such event or condition): (a) a change in the Participant’s responsibilities or duties which represents a material and substantial diminution in the Participant’s responsibilities or duties as in effect immediately preceding the consummation of a Corporate Transaction; (b) a reduction in the Participant’s base salary to a level below that in effect at any time within six (6) months preceding the consummation of a Corporate Transaction or at any time thereafter; provided that an across-the-board reduction in the salary level of substantially all other individuals in positions similar to the Participant’s by the same percentage amount shall not constitute such a salary reduction; or (c) requiring the Participant to be based at any place outside a 50-mile radius from the Participant’s job location or residence prior to the Corporate Transaction except for reasonably required travel on business which is not materially greater than such travel requirements prior to the Corporate Transaction.



Issuance Schedule:     One share of Common Stock will be issued for each restricted stock unit which vests at the time set forth in Section 6 of the Agreement.

•The RSU Award Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the acquisition of Common Stock and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements, promises and/or representations on that subject with the exception of: (i) other equity awards previously granted to you, and (ii) any written employment agreement, offer letter, severance agreement, written severance plan or policy, or other written agreement between the Company and you in each case that specifies the terms that should govern this RSU Award.
•You acknowledge and agree that unless otherwise required to comply with Applicable Law, the restricted stock units covered by the RSU Award will be subject to recoupment under any clawback policy that the Company adopts pursuant to Section 9(i) of the Plan.

COUPANG, INC.
2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
GLOBAL RSU AWARD AGREEMENT
As reflected by your Global RSU Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”), Coupang, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you a RSU Award under its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of restricted stock units as indicated in your Grant Notice (the “RSU Award”). The terms of your RSU Award as specified in this Global RSU Award Agreement for your RSU Award, including any additional terms and conditions for your country set forth in the appendix hereto (the “Appendix” and, together with the Global RSU Award Agreement, the “Agreement”) and the Grant Notice constitute your “RSU Award Agreement”. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Grant Notice or the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable.
The general terms applicable to your RSU Award are as follows:
1.GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your RSU Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan. Your RSU Award is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Subject to Section 7(b)(vii) of the Plan, in the event of any conflict between the RSU Award Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
2.GRANT OF THE RSU AWARD. This RSU Award represents your right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of restricted stock units indicated in the Grant Notice subject to your satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth therein (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Any additional Restricted Stock Units that become subject to the RSU Award pursuant to Capitalization Adjustments as set forth in the Plan and the provisions of Section 4 below, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units covered by your RSU Award.
3.FORFEITURE UPON TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. Unless specifically provided otherwise in the RSU Award Agreement or other written agreement authorized by the Board or its applicable Committee between you and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or parents, as applicable, governing the terms of this RSU Award, if your Continuous Service ceases for any reason, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company upon the date of such cessation and you will have no further rights to such Restricted Stock Units or the underlying shares of Common Stock.
4.RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER . Neither you nor any person claiming under or through you will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such shares of Common Stock (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to you (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, you will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such shares of and receipt of dividends and distributions on such shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your RSU Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a Capitalization Adjustment as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your RSU Award after such shares have been delivered to you.
1



5.RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES.
(a)Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate to which you provide Continuous Service (the “Service Recipient”) with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items associated with the grant or vesting of the RSU Award or sale of the underlying Common Stock or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to you (the “Tax Liability”), you hereby acknowledge and agree that the Tax Liability is your ultimate responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. You further acknowledge that the Company and the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding any Tax Liability in connection with any aspect of this RSU Award, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the RSU Award, the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to such vesting, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the payment of any dividends on the shares; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU Award to reduce or eliminate your Tax Liability or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax Liability in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Liability in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax Liability. As further provided in Section 8 of the Plan, you hereby authorize the Company and any applicable Service Recipient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to the Tax Liability by one or a combination of the following methods: (i) causing you to pay any portion of the Tax Liability in cash or cash equivalent in a form acceptable to the Company and/or the Service Recipient; (ii) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company or the Service Recipient; (iii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award; provided, however, that to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will be subject to the express prior approval of, as applicable, the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), the Section 16 Equity Committee of the Board (the “Section 16 Equity Committee”), or another appropriate sub-committee of the Board; (iv) permitting or requiring you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment, if applicable, with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”), pursuant to this authorization and without further consent, whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with your Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the Tax Liability and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax Liability directly to the Company or the Service Recipient; and/or (v) any other method determined by the Company to be in compliance with Applicable Law. Furthermore, you agree to pay or reimburse the Company or the Service Recipient any amount the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold, collect or pay as a result of your participation in the Plan or that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. In the event it is determined that the amount of the Tax Liability was greater than the amount withheld by the Company and/or the Service Recipient (as applicable), you agree to indemnify and hold the Company and/or the Service Recipient (as applicable) harmless from any failure by the Company or the applicable Service Recipient to withhold the proper amount.
2



(c)The Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for your Tax Liability by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates in your jurisdiction(s); provided, however, that to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such higher withholding rate will be subject to the express prior approval of, as applicable, the Board, the Compensation Committee, the Section 16 Equity Committee, or another appropriate sub-committee of the Board. In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash from the Company or the Service Recipient (with no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent), or if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under- withholding, you may be required to pay any Tax Liability directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. If the Tax Liability withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the RSU Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying such Tax Liability.
(d)You acknowledge that the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock until you have fully satisfied any applicable Tax Liability, as determined by the Company. Unless any withholding obligation for the Tax Liability is satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver to you any Common Stock in respect of the RSU Award.
(e)Depending on the country to whose laws you are subject, the Company or Service Recipient may report information on income subject to personal income tax in connection with the RSU Award, including, but not limited to, information needed to calculate such income, to the relevant tax authorities, and you agree that the Company or Service Recipient may provide such information to satisfy related requests and/or obligations. You also agree that the Company or Service Recipient has no obligation to respond on your behalf to any question, investigation, claim, or challenge against you from the tax authorities, which may arise from the filing of information. You should speak with your personal tax, legal, and/or financial advisors regarding the same.
6.ISSUANCE OR DELIVERY OF SHARES. Subject to Section 23 and except as otherwise provided for herein, within 70 days after the vesting date or vesting event, as applicable, as specified in the Grant Notice, the Company shall issue or deliver, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the vested shares of Common Stock to you. Such issuance or delivery shall be evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such issuance or delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 5. Prior to the issuance to you of the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU Award, you shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or in such shares of Common Stock, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. In no event will you be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year or date of settlement of any Restricted Stock Units.
7.NATURE OF GRANT. In accepting the RSU Award, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of the RSU Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future RSU Awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the RSU Award and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or other service relationship with the Company;
3



(e)the RSU Award and your participation in the Plan shall not be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company or the Service Recipient, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company or the Service Recipient, as applicable, to terminate your Continuous Service (if any);
(f)the RSU Award and your participation in the Plan shall not entitle you to any privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU Award unless and until, and only to the extent, such shares become vested pursuant to the Grant Notice and you become a stockholder of record with respect to such shares;
(g)you are voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(h)the RSU Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU Award, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(i)the RSU Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU Award, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(j)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the RSU Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSU Award, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of an Affiliate;
(k)the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(l)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSU Award resulting from the termination of your Continuous Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are providing service or the terms of your employment or other service agreement, if any);
(m)for purposes of the RSU Award, your Continuous Service will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are providing service or the terms of your employment or other service agreement, if any), and such date will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of Continuous Service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are providing service or the terms of your employment or other service agreement, if any); the Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your RSU Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence); and
(n)neither the Company nor the Service Recipient shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the RSU Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.
8.TRANSFERABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, your RSU Award is not transferable, except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
9.CORPORATE TRANSACTION. Your RSU Award is subject to the terms of any agreement governing a Corporate Transaction involving the Company, including, without limitation, a provision for the appointment of a stockholder representative that is authorized to act on your behalf with respect to any escrow, indemnities and any contingent consideration.
4

As a condition to accepting the RSU Award, you hereby (a) agree to not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates related to any Tax Liability arising from the RSU Award and (b) acknowledge that you were advised to consult with your own personal tax, financial and other legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of the RSU Award and have either done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY YOUR CONTINUOUS SERVICE, WHICH UNLESS PROVIDED OTHERWISE UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS IS AT THE WILL OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE RECIPIENT AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS RSU AWARD OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER.

13.GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. The RSU Award and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles that would result in any application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware. For purposes of any action, lawsuit or other proceedings brought to enforce this Agreement, relating to it, or arising from it, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.
14.SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of this Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid will, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
15.COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares of Common Stock.
5



16.LANGUAGE. You acknowledge that you are proficient in the English language, or have consulted with an advisor who is proficient in the English language, so as to enable you to understand the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. If you have received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
17.ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND PARTICIPATION. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
18.APPENDIX. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Global RSU Award Agreement, the RSU Award shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix for your country. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
19.IMPOSITION OF OTHER REQUIREMENT. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the RSU and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
20.WAIVER. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.
21.INSIDER TRADING/MARKET ABUSE. You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker’s country or where the Company shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to shares (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares (e.g., phantom awards, futures) during such times you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Keep in mind third parties includes fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. You are responsible for complying with any restrictions and should speak to your personal advisor on this matter.
22.EXCHANGE CONTROL, FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT AND/OR TAX REPORTING. Depending upon the country to which laws you are subject, you may have certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements that may affect your ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country of residence. Your country may require that you report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in your country. You also may be required to repatriate cash received from participating in the Plan to your country within a certain period of time after receipt. You are responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and should speak with your personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding same.

23.SECTION 409A. This RSU Award is intended to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed accordingly, and each payment hereunder shall be considered a separate payment. To the extent this Agreement provides for the Award to become vested and be settled your termination of employment, the applicable shares of Common Stock shall be transferred to you or your beneficiary upon your “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; provided that if you are a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent the RSU Award constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such shares of Common Stock shall be transferred to you or your beneficiary upon the earlier to occur of (i) the day following the six-month anniversary of such separation from service and (ii) the date of your death. In no event will the Company, any Service Recipient or any Affiliate of the Company have any responsibility, liability, or obligation to reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless you (or any other person) for any taxes, penalties and interest that may be imposed, or other costs that may be incurred, as a result of Section 409A of the Code.

The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2021. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, you should not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time you vest in the Restricted Stock Units, acquire shares of Common Stock, or sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained below is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation. You should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
If you are a citizen or resident (or are considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which you are currently residing and/or working, or if you relocate to another country after the grant of the RSU Award, the notifications herein may not apply to you in the same manner.

CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following provisions apply only to participants who are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Award Conditioned on Satisfaction of Regulatory Obligations. In addition to the vesting requirements set forth in the Grant Notice and the Agreement, settlement of the Restricted Stock Units is also conditioned on the Company’s completion of a registration of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Units with SAFE and on the continued effectiveness of such registration. If or to the extent the Company does not complete or maintain the registration, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units, and the Company may decide to cancel and forfeit any outstanding Restricted Stock Units if it determines that it is not feasible or practical to complete or maintain a SAFE registration.
Shares Must Remain with Company’s Broker. You agree to hold any shares of Common Stock received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units with the broker designated by the Company for this purpose until the shares of Common Stock are sold. The limitation shall apply to all shares of Common Stock issued to you under the Plan, whether or not you remain in service or employment.
Forced Sale of Shares. The Company has the discretion to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, either immediately upon settlement or at any time thereafter. In any event, if your Continuous Service is terminated, you will be required to sell all shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units within such time period as required by the Company in accordance with SAFE requirements. Any shares of Common Stock remaining in the brokerage account at the end of this period shall be sold by the broker (on your behalf without further consent). You agree to sign any additional agreements, forms and/or consents that reasonably may be requested by the Company (or the Company’s broker) to effectuate the sale of shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, as to the transfer of the sale proceeds and other exchange control matters noted below) and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters. You acknowledge that neither the Company nor the broker is under any obligation to arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock at any particular price and that broker’s fees and similar expenses may be incurred in any such sale. In any event, when the shares of Common Stock are sold, the sale proceeds, less any withholding for any Tax Liability, any broker’s fees or commissions, and any similar expenses of the sale will be remitted to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.
Exchange Control Restrictions. You understand and agree that you will be required to immediately repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and any cash dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock. You further understand that such repatriation of proceeds may need to be effected through a special bank account established by the Company or the Service Recipient, and you hereby consent and agree that any sale proceeds and cash dividends may be transferred to such special account by the Company or the Service Recipient on your behalf prior to being delivered to you and that no interest shall be paid with respect to funds held in such account.
The proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you understand that a U.S. dollar bank account in China must be established and maintained so that the proceeds may be deposited into such account. If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Service Recipient are/is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company and/or the Service Recipient may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of Common Stock are sold and the time the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company and/or the Service Recipient in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

Administration. Neither the Company nor the Service Recipient shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses that you may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of these Terms and Conditions or otherwise from the Company’s operation of the Plan, the Agreement, the Grant Notice and the Restricted Stock Units in accordance with any Applicable Laws.

2.GRANT OF THE PSU AWARD.

5.RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES.
(a)Regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate to which you provide Continuous Service (the “Service Recipient”) with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items associated with the grant or vesting of the PSU Award or sale of the underlying Common Stock or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed applicable to you (the “Tax Liability”), you hereby acknowledge and agree that the Tax Liability is your ultimate responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. You further acknowledge that the Company and the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding any Tax Liability in connection with any aspect of this PSU Award, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the PSU Award, the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to such vesting, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock, and the payment of any dividends on the shares; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSU Award to reduce or eliminate your Tax Liability or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax Liability in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Liability in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax Liability. As further provided in Section 8 of the Plan, you hereby authorize the Company and any applicable Service Recipient to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to the Tax Liability by one or a combination of the following methods: (i) causing you to pay any portion of the Tax Liability in cash or cash equivalent in a form acceptable to the Company and/or the Service Recipient; (ii) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company or the Service Recipient; (iii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award; provided, however, that to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will be subject to the express prior approval of, as applicable, the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), the Section 16 Equity Committee, or another appropriate sub-committee of the Board; (iv) permitting or requiring you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment, if applicable, with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”), pursuant to this authorization and without further consent, whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with your Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the Tax Liability and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Tax Liability directly to the Company or the Service Recipient; and/or (v) any other method determined by the Company to be in compliance with Applicable Law. Furthermore, you agree to pay or reimburse the Company or the Service Recipient any amount the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold, collect or pay as a result of your participation in the Plan or that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

(c)The Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for your Tax Liability by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates in your jurisdiction(s); provided, however, that to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such higher withholding rate will be subject to the express prior approval of, as applicable, the Board, the Compensation Committee, the Section 16 Equity Committee, or another appropriate sub-committee of the Board. In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash from the Company or the Service Recipient (with no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent), or if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under- withholding, you may be required to pay any Tax Liability directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient. If the Tax Liability withholding obligation is satisfied by withholding shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the PSU Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of paying such Tax Liability.
(d)You acknowledge that the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock until you have fully satisfied any applicable Tax Liability, as determined by the Company. Unless any withholding obligation for the Tax Liability is satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver to you any Common Stock in respect of the PSU Award.
(e)Depending on the country to whose laws you are subject, the Company or Service Recipient may report information on income subject to personal income tax in connection with the PSU Award, including, but not limited to, information needed to calculate such income, to the relevant tax authorities, and you agree that the Company or Service Recipient may provide such information to satisfy related requests and/or obligations. You also agree that the Company or Service Recipient has no obligation to respond on your behalf to any question, investigation, claim, or challenge against you from the tax authorities, which may arise from the filing of information. You should speak with your personal tax, legal, and/or financial advisors regarding the same.
6.ISSUANCE OR DELIVERY OF SHARES. Subject to Section 23 and except as otherwise provided for herein, within 30 days after the Vesting Date specified in the Grant Notice (or if you vest upon a termination of employment, within 70 days following your qualifying termination of employment), the Company shall issue or deliver, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the vested shares of Common Stock to you. Such issuance or delivery shall be evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.

The terms of your RSU Award as specified in this Global RSU Award Agreement for your RSU Award (the “Agreement”) and the Grant Notice constitute your “RSU Award Agreement”. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Grant Notice or the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable.
The general terms applicable to your RSU Award are as follows:
1.GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your RSU Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan. Your RSU Award is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. Subject to Section 7(b)(vii) of the Plan, in the event of any conflict between the RSU Award Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
2.GRANT OF THE RSU AWARD. This RSU Award represents your right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of restricted stock units indicated in the Grant Notice subject to your satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth therein (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Any additional Restricted Stock Units that become subject to the RSU Award pursuant to Capitalization Adjustments as set forth in the Plan and the provisions of Section 4 below, if any, shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Board, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units covered by your RSU Award.
3.FORFEITURE UPON TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. Unless specifically provided otherwise in the RSU Award Agreement or other written agreement authorized by the Board or its applicable Committee between you and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or parents, as applicable, governing the terms of this RSU Award, if your Continuous Service ceases for any reason, the then-unvested Restricted Stock Units will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company upon the date of such cessation and you will have no further rights to such Restricted Stock Units or the underlying shares of Common Stock.
4.RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Neither you nor any person claiming under or through you will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such shares of Common Stock (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to you (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, you will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such shares of and receipt of dividends and distributions on such shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall receive no benefit or adjustment to your RSU Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution that does not result from a Capitalization Adjustment as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to you in connection with your RSU Award after such shares have been delivered to you.

Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as “Base Salary”. Executive’s position with the Company is an exempt position and will be full-time.
RSU Award. The Company shall grant Executive an initial RSU award under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time or succeeded, the “Plan”), with a grant date total fair value of KRW 6 billion with a third vesting annually over a three-year vesting schedule as outlined below, subject to the approval of the Board (or applicable committee of the Board thereof) and subject to the terms referenced herein. Executive’s restricted stock unit award, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “RSU Award”.

The RSU Award is being recommended as a benefit that is intended to encourage the best talent to deliver excellent performance through his/her continuous service. The RSU Award service based condition will be met annually over 3 years with a third vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date set forth in the related RSU award grant notice (the “Vesting Commencement Date”) and a third vesting on each of the second and third year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.

2


Note that the Company may grant the RSU Award to you only if and as long as it is permitted and feasible under the laws of the country in which you reside or to which laws you may be subject. If local laws make the grant of the RSU Award illegal or impractical, the Company will inform you as soon as possible.
You should be aware that the Company, in its sole discretion, may change or end the operation of the Plan at any time. If the Company decides to change or terminate the Plan, you will not have any claims against the Company, the Service Recipient, and/or any other subsidiaries of the Company to receive the RSUs or any other benefits equivalent to the RSUs. You acknowledge that the Company is not obligated to continue to grant any additional RSUs or any other benefits to you.
Your participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary. Any RSU Award granted to you and any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock acquired pursuant to the RSU Award are an additional benefit that may be given to you by the Company. Therefore, the RSU Award and any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting of the RSUs are not part of your local employment or service relationship and are completely separate from your local salary or any other remuneration or benefits provided to you by the Company; rather, the RSUs constitute an additional form of compensation paid at the sole discretion of the Company that is part of your total reward package. This means that any gain you realize from the RSUs will not be included if or when any such salary, remuneration or benefits, including but not limited to severance payments or similar termination compensation or indemnity, payments during a notice period or payments in lieu of notice, are calculated.
If the RSUs are granted to you, you will be responsible for complying with any applicable legal requirements in connection with your participation in the Plan and for any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items associated with the grant or vesting of the RSUs or sale of the underlying Class A common stock of the Company or other tax-related items or obligations either arising from the RSUs and any shares received pursuant to the RSUs, related to your participation in the Plan, and/or otherwise legally applicable or deemed applicable to you, including any employer obligations that the Company has determined may legally be transferred to you and regardless of any withholding and/or reporting obligation of the Company, the Service Recipient, or any other subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company (the “Tax Liability”). You expressly acknowledge and agree that if the RSUs are granted to you, the Company, or any other subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company, as applicable, may report the RSUs and any income resulting therefrom to governmental or regulatory authorities and other appropriate third party entities and that such report may include personal information relating to the RSUs and any income resulting therefrom (including but not limited to personal tax identification numbers and RSU grant details and vesting schedules). You further expressly acknowledge and agree, and expressly authorize the Company, or any other subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company to, withhold or otherwise account for your Tax Liability by (i) withholding from your salary or other compensation payable to you, (ii) withholding or requiring you to sell a portion of the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock delivered in connection with your RSUs, (iii) any other means described in the Plan or any related RSU award grant agreement or notice, or (iv) any other method determined by the Company to be in compliance with applicable law.
You agree to seek advice from your personal accountant or tax adviser at your own expense regarding the tax and other legal implications of any RSUs granted to you.
3


The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
You understand that, in order for the Company to administer the grant of the RSU Award and any future participation in the Plan, the Company and any other subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company must collect, process, transfer, or store certain of your personal data. You hereby agree to such collection, processing, transfer, and storage in electronic or other form, of your personal data, as further set forth in the Coupang Employee Privacy Notice, which has been provided to you separately.
Benefits. Executive will be eligible to participate in such employee benefit plans as may be maintained by the Company for its employees from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such plans. Nothing in this Section shall limit the Company’s right to change or modify or terminate any benefit plan or program as it sees fit from time to time in the normal course of business. For purposes of clarity, on and following the Effective Date, Executive will not be eligible to receive any benefits pursuant to Section 2 of the Prior Agreement or as otherwise previously awarded by the Company or Board (or any committees of the Board thereof), except as specified in this Agreement.
Business Expenses. Executive shall be reimbursed for Executive’s necessary and reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties in accordance with the Company’s (or any of their respective subsidiaries’) applicable expense reimbursement policy. Executive must promptly submit an itemized account of expenses and appropriate supporting documentation, in accordance with the Company’s generally applicable guidelines.

In addition, following such period, the Company will pay or reimburse Executive (subject to Section 14 and the Company’s applicable expense reimbursement policies) for housing support in New York in the amount of USD $240,000 per year paid in $20,000 monthly instalments.

a. Executive shall be an at-will employee of the Company, which means the employment relationship can be terminated by either the Company or Executive for any reason, at any time, with or without prior notice and with or without Cause. The at-will nature of Executive’s employment also applies to all terms and conditions, including without limitation that Executive’s job duties, title and responsibility and reporting level, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may be changed at any time, with or without notice, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company.
5


Any statements or representations to the contrary (and any statements contradicting any provision in this Agreement) shall be regarded by Executive as ineffective. Further, Executive’s participation in any equity or benefit program is not to be regarded as assuring Executive of continuing employment for any particular period of time. Any modification or change in Executive’s at will employment status may only occur by way of a written employment agreement signed by Executive and the CAO. Should either Executive or the Company terminate Executive’s employment for any reason or no reason, the Company shall have no obligation to Executive other than as set forth in Sections 3(b) and (c) below.
b. “Cause” shall mean any of the following reasons as determined within the sole discretion of the : (a) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or willful dishonesty by Executive which adversely affects the business of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates; (b) any unauthorized use or disclosure by Executive of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates; (c) the refusal or omission by Executive to perform any lawful duties properly required of Executive under this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates and Executive, provided that any such failure or refusal has been communicated to Executive in writing and Executive has been provided a reasonable opportunity (not to exceed twenty (20( days) to correct it, if correction is possible; (d) any act or omission by Executive involving malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of Executive’s duties to, or material deviation from or violation of any of the policies or directives of, the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates; (e) conduct on the part of Executive which constitutes the breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates; (f) any illegal act by Executive which adversely affects the business of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, or any felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude committed by Executive, as evidenced by conviction thereof (or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere thereto), or (g) any breach by Executive of any restrictive covenant obligation to the Company, including the noncompetition, nondisparagement and nonsolicitation obligations set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below).
c. In the event that Executive’s employment hereunder terminates for any reason, Executive shall be entitled to (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination, payable on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following such termination (or such earlier or later date as may be required by applicable law), (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination, in accordance with Section 2(d), and (iii) any accrued and vested benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans (including, but not limited to, settlement of any vested portion of the RSU Award), in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans (other than any rights under the Company’s Executive Severance Policy, as may be in effect and/or amended and/or restated from time to time in accordance with its terms (the “Policy”) unless such Policy provides more favorable benefits than those provided in this Agreement). Executive will be eligible to participate in the Policy (provided, that, to the extent that any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement are more favorable than the severance payments or benefits under the Policy, Executive shall receive the severance payments or benefits under this Agreement rather than the severance payments or benefits provided for under the Policy); notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the Executive’s severance payments or benefits under the Policy, any payments or benefits Executive may receive or may have in the past received under the Country Addendum Korea (as defined in the Policy) pursuant to Interim Severance (as defined in the Policy) will not affect any severance payments or benefits under the Policy that Executive may receive under the Country Addendum (US) (as defined in the Policy) pursuant to Executive’s last-in-time Qualifying Separation. For purposes of clarity, this Section 3(c) supersedes Section 3(a)(iii)(B) of the Policy.
d. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees to resign from all positions that Executive holds with the Company and any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
6


e.

f. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive may receive or may have in the past received interim severance under the Policy and the laws of the Republic of Korea in connection with Executive entering into the Separation Agreement and this Agreement.
4.Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business or assets that becomes bound by this Agreement.
5.Confidentiality Commitment to Company and Invention Assignment Agreement. Executive covenants and agrees that Executive will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) that the Executive is entering into in connection with this Agreement. Such agreement restricts Executive’s future flexibility, and its restrictions are in addition to and in no way subtract from the restrictions imposed on Executive by this Agreement.
6.Compliance. Executive further agrees to comply with all laws, rules and regulations of the Company and any regulatory authority or agency.
7.Withholdings. The Company may make such deductions, withholdings and other payments from all sums payable to Executive under this Agreement that are required by law.
8.No Assignment. This Agreement and all of Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder are personal to Executive and may not be transferred or assigned by Executive at any time. The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to the extent any entity assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder in connection with any sale or transfer or all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets to such entity.
9.Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Executive to the full extent provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the laws of the State of Delaware in connection with Executive’s activities as an officer or director of the Company. Executive will be covered as an insured on the director and officer liability insurance policy maintained by the Company or as may be maintained by the Company from time to time.
10.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Policy and the Equity Award Agreements express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the terms of Executive’s provision of services to the Company, and supersedes any prior oral or written agreement, understanding or the like, including the Prior Agreement. No modification or amendment of this Agreement, and no waiver of any provision hereof may be made unless such modification, amendment, or waiver is set forth in writing by the parties hereto.
11.Arbitration. IN CONSIDERATION OF EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, ITS PROMISE TO ARBITRATE ALL EMPLOYMENT-RELATED DISPUTES AND EXECUTIVE’S RECEIPT OF THE COMPENSATION, PAY RAISES AND OTHER BENEFITS PAID TO EXECUTIVE BY THE COMPANY, AT PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE, EXECUTIVE AGREES THAT ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, OR DISPUTES WITH ANYONE (INCLUDING THE COMPANY AND ANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, SHAREHOLDER OR BENEFIT PLAN OF THE COMPANY, IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH OR OTHERWISE), WHETHER BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, COLLECTIVE, OR CLASS BASIS, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY OR THE TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH IN THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AGREEMENT.
7


12.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.
13.Miscellaneous. If any provision in this Agreement or compliance by Executive or the Company with any provision of this offer constitutes a violation of any law, or is or becomes unenforceable or void, it will be deemed modified to the extent necessary so that it is no longer in violation of law, unenforceable or void, and such provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If such modification is not possible, said provision, to the extent that it is in violation of law, unenforceable or void, will be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which provisions and terms will remain in effect.
14.Section 409A. The payments and benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from (and if not exempt from, compliant with) the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and this Agreement will be construed accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Executive’s right to receive any installment payments will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of Executive’s separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, and if any of the payments upon separation from service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A then, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A and the related taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of separation from service, (ii) the date of Executive’s death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of taxation thereunder. With respect to payments to be made upon execution of an effective release, if the release revocation period spans two calendar years, payment will be made in the second of the two calendar years to the extent such amounts are “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and necessary to avoid taxation under Section 409A. Any taxable reimbursements due under the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company shall be paid no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense is incurred, and all taxable reimbursements and in-kind benefits shall be provided in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) of the regulations under Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement or any payments or benefits hereunder are determined not to be compliant with Section 409A
15.Section 280G. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” will be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction will occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata.

16.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party.
