On August 17, 2022, Whirlpool Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a retention agreement (the “Retention Agreement”) with Gilles Morel, the Company’s Executive Vice President and President, Whirlpool EMEA. The Retention Agreement was entered into in connection with the Company’s publicly announced plan to conduct a strategic review of the EMEA region. Under the Retention Agreement, Mr. Morel will be entitled to receive a cash retention bonus from the Company equal to Euro 3 million, which will vest and become payable in two installments as follows: (1) 35% on the closing date of a transaction divesting the EMEA business (the “Transaction”) and (2) following the Transaction, 65% on June 30, 2024, subject in each case to Mr. Morel’s continued satisfactory employment with the Company or any successor company prior to the applicable installment date, subject to certain exceptions as further set forth in the Retention Agreement. Mr. Morel will not receive the retention bonus if the Company ceases to pursue the Transaction or, if the Transaction fails to close by June 30, 2024.

The description of the Retention Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Retention Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
