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

On October 28, 2015, we announced David A. Brearton, our Executive Vice President, Strategic Initiatives would retire at the end of 2015.

On December 15, 2015, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”), entered into a retirement agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Brearton, which is typical for the retirement of a senior executive. The Agreement provides Mr. Brearton receives benefits in connection with his retirement, including: a full 2015 Management Incentive Program award based on target performance for the individual performance component and actual performance for the company performance component; early retirement eligibility for purposes of stock options; vesting of his entire 2013 restricted stock grant and two-thirds of his 2014 restricted stock grant on December 31, 2015, his last day of employment with Mondelēz Global (Mr. Brearton will forfeit all other unvested restricted stock); and eligibility to receive his entire award of performance share units subject to the 2013-2015 performance cycle and a pro-rated award of performance share units subject to each of the 2014-2016 performance cycle and the 2015-2017 performance cycle, if any, in all cases based on actual company performance against the applicable performance goals.

The Agreement also subjects him to restrictive covenants, including a non-compete, and confidentiality provisions, 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.

The forgoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
