Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously announced, effective November 20, 2017, Irene B. Rosenfeld stepped down from the position of CEO of Mondelēz International, Inc. (the “Company”). She continued to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) for a transition period through March 31, 2018, after which she retired from the Company and resigned from the Board.

On April 30, 2018, the Company provided Ms. Rosenfeld with a retirement letter (the “Letter”). The Letter provides Ms. Rosenfeld benefits in connection with her retirement as outlined in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 18, 2017. Following Ms. Rosenfeld’s retirement on April 1, 2018 (the “Retirement Date”), all of her unvested performance share units as of the Retirement Date continue to vest per the normal vesting schedule. The actual number of shares awarded will be based on the actual financial results as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board at the end of the relevant performance cycle.

As part of the Letter, Ms. Rosenfeld agreed to restrictive covenants including non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions. The Letter provides for a release of claims and is intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
