F1 Restricted stock units convert into shares of Whole Earth Brands, Inc.'s common stock on a one-for-one basis.
F2 Subject to the reporting person's continuous employment through the vesting date, the restricted stock units shall vest one-third (1/3) annually over the next three (3) years, commencing on the grant date of March 24, 2022, except in the case of the reporting person's earlier involuntary termination. In the event of a voluntary termination by the reporting person prior to the vesting date, all restricted stock units will be forfeited.
