EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

No Payment for Shares.

No payment is required for Shares that you receive under this Award.

Restricted Stock Units.

Each RSU represents a right to receive one Share subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.

Vesting.

The RSUs will vest on the Vesting Dates as set forth in this Award Agreement, subject to your continued Service through each Vesting Date and to the sections below entitled “Termination”.

Adjustment for Certain Events.

If and to the extent that it would not cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law, if any Corporate Event described in Section 5(d) of the Plan shall occur, the Committee shall make an adjustment as described in such Section 5(d) in such manner as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate and equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights provided under this Award.

Termination.

Upon termination of your Service prior to any Vesting Date, you will forfeit all of your RSUs that are unvested at the time of termination without any consideration due to you. For the purposes of the Plan and this Award Agreement, your Service will not be deemed to be terminated in the event that you transfer employment from the Company to any Affiliate or from an Affiliate to the Company or another Affiliate, as the case may be.

Except in case of your death, your Service terminates on the day you receive written notice of termination or provide notice of resignation. For greater clarity, the date of termination of your Service will not be extended by any period of notice of termination of employment, payment in lieu of notice or severance mandated under local law, whether statutory, contractual or at common law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law) regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of laws in the jurisdiction where you are rendering Service or the terms of your employment agreement, if any. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to

determine the date of termination of your Service for purposes of this Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement regarding the effect of a termination of your Service on this Award and the terms of any employment agreement, the terms of your employment agreement will govern.

Subject to any terms and conditions that the Committee may impose in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in the event that a Change in Control occurs and, within twelve (12) months following the date of such Change in Control, your Service is terminated by your employer (the “Employer”) Without Cause (as defined herein), this Award shall vest in full upon such termination. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement regarding the effect of a Change in Control on this Award and the terms of any employment agreement, the terms of this Award Agreement will govern.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Cause” means (i) a material breach by you of any of your obligations under any written employment agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a material violation by you of any of the policies, procedures, rules and regulations of the Company or any of its Affiliates applicable to employees or other service providers generally or to employees or other service providers at your payband; (iii) the failure by you to reasonably and substantially perform your duties to the Company or its Affiliates (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury); (iv) your willful misconduct or gross negligence that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the business, reputation or prospects of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (v) your fraud or misappropriation of funds; or (vi) the commission by you of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude; provided that if you are a party to an employment agreement at the time of termination of your Service and such employment agreement contains a different definition of “cause” (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such employment agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement.

If you are terminated Without Cause and, within the twelve (12) month period subsequent to such termination of your Service, the Company determines that your Service could have been terminated for Cause, subject to anything to the contrary that may be contained in your employment agreement at the time of termination of your Service, your Service will, at the election of the Company, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause, effective as of the date the events giving rise to Cause occurred.

“Disability” means (i) a physical or mental condition entitling you to benefits under the long-term disability policy of the company covering you or (ii) in the absence of any such policy, a physical or mental condition rendering you unable to perform your

duties for the Company or any Affiliate for a period of six (6) consecutive months or longer; provided that if you are a party to an employment agreement at the time of termination of your Service and such employment agreement contains a different definition of “disability” (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such employment agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement.

“Vesting Date” means December 31, ____, ____ and ____ or such earlier vesting date as may be provided in this Award Agreement.

“Without Cause” means a termination of your Service by you for “Good Reason,” if you have an employment agreement that defines the term “Good Reason,” or by the Employer other than any such termination by the Employer for Cause or due to your death or Disability; provided that if you are a party to an employment agreement at the time of termination of your Service and such employment agreement contains a different definition of “without cause” (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such employment agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a party to an employment agreement at the time of termination of your Service and such employment agreement provides that a termination of your Service by you for “Good Reason” constitutes termination of your Service “Without Cause,” such termination for Good Reason shall not constitute termination Without Cause for purposes of the acceleration of your RSUs following a Change in Control.

Settlement of RSUs.

The Company shall deliver to you (or your Beneficiary, if applicable) a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs that vest in accordance with this Award Agreement as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 60 days) following the applicable Vesting Date. You will have no rights of a shareholder with respect to the RSUs until such Shares have been delivered to you.

Dividend Equivalents.

During the term of this Award Agreement, you shall be automatically granted additional RSUs with respect to a number of Shares (rounded to six decimal places) having a Fair Market Value as of the applicable dividend payment date equal to the value of any dividends or other distributions that would have been distributed to you if each of the Shares to be delivered to you upon settlement of the RSUs instead was an issued and outstanding Share owned by you (“Dividend Equivalents”). The additional RSUs granted to you as Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions under this Award Agreement as the RSUs to which they relate, and shall vest and be settled (rounded down to the nearest whole number) in the same manner and at the same times as the RSUs to which they relate. Each Dividend Equivalent shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Taxes.

Regardless of any action the Company or your Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security or insurance, fringe benefits tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by the Company and/or the Employer. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may in its sole and absolute discretion (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that you acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), and/or (2) withhold the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the Tax-Related Items.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction. In the event of over-withholding, you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares, or if not refunded, you may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, you may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company and/or Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSU, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

No Guarantee of Continued Service.

You acknowledge and agree that vesting of this Award on the applicable Vesting Dates is earned only by performing continuing Service (not through the act of being hired or being granted this Award). You further acknowledge and agree that this Award Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Dates shall not be construed as giving you the right to be retained in the employ of, or to continue to provide services to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss you, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in any other agreement binding you, the Company or the applicable Affiliate. The receipt of this Award is not intended to confer any rights on you except as set forth in this Award Agreement.

Termination for Cause; Restrictive Covenants.

In consideration for the grant of this Award and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by you, you agree as follows:

Upon (i) a termination of your Service for Cause, (ii) a retroactive termination of your Service for Cause as permitted herein or under your employment agreement, or (iii) a violation of any post-termination restrictive covenant (including, without limitation, non-disclosure, non-competition and/or non-solicitation) contained in your employment agreement, or any separation or termination or similar agreement you may enter into with the Company or one of its Affiliates in connection with termination of your Service, any Award you hold shall be immediately forfeited and the Company may require that you repay (with interest or appreciation (if any), as applicable, determined up to the date payment is made), and you shall promptly repay to the Company the Fair Market Value (in cash or in Shares) of any Shares received upon the settlement of RSUs during the period beginning on the date that is one year before the date of your termination and ending on the first anniversary of the date of your termination. The Fair Market Value of any such Shares shall be determined as of the date on which the RSUs were settled.

Company’s Right of Offset.

If you become entitled to a distribution of benefits under this Award, and if at such time you have any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company or its Affiliates, upon a determination by the Committee, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and not causing a violation of Section 409A of the Code, may offset such amount so owing against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Committee.

Acknowledgment of Nature of Award.

In accepting the grant of this Award, you acknowledge that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;

(b) the grant of this Award is voluntary, occasional and discretionary and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs even if RSUs have been awarded in the past;

(d) your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) this Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(f) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(g) if you receive Shares, the value of such Shares acquired upon settlement may increase or decrease in value; and

(h) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of this Award, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from any diminution in value of the RSUs or Shares received upon settlement of the RSUs resulting from termination of your Service, and you irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise.

Securities Laws.

By accepting this Award, you acknowledge that Canadian or other applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, U.S. securities laws and/or the Company’s policies regarding trading in its securities, may limit or restrict your right to buy or sell Shares, including, without limitation, sales of Shares acquired in connection with this Award. You agree to comply with all Canadian and any other applicable securities law requirements, including, without limitation, any U.S. securities law requirements and Company policies, as such laws and policies are amended from time to time.

Data Privacy Notice and Consent.

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other

Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company, the Employer and/or other Affiliates hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or social security number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to Solium Capital or such other third party assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in Canada, the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that, if you reside in the European Economic Area, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that, if you reside in the European Economic Area, you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or Service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you RSUs or other awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future.

Section 409A Compliance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without your consent, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant to this Award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to you that this Award is exempt from, or satisfies, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless you or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that you or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws.

You acknowledge that, depending on your country or the designated broker’s country, or the countr(ies) in which the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect your

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2014 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPANTS IN CANADA

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit C have the meanings set forth in the Restaurant Brands International Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and/or the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”).

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Exhibit C includes additional terms and conditions that govern this Award granted to you under the Plan if you reside and/or work in Canada. If you are a citizen or resident of a country other than Canada, transfer employment and/or residency after this Award is granted or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to you.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Exhibit C also includes information regarding securities, exchange controls, tax and certain other issues of which you should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in Canada as of December 2020. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you not rely on the information in this Exhibit C 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 the RSUs subject to this Award vest and settle or you sell Shares acquired under the Plan.

Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than Canada, transfer employment and/or residency after this Award is granted or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to you.

NOTIFICATIONS

Securities Law Information.

You are permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Plan through the designated broker, if any, provided the sale of the Shares acquired under the Plan takes place through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (i.e., the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange), subject to applicable laws and Company policies.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.

You must report annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) any foreign specified property you hold (including any Shares acquired under the Plan, if held outside Canada), if the total value of such foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. The unvested portion of this Award also must be reported (generally at nil cost) on Form 1135 if the C$100,000 threshold is exceeded due to other foreign specified property you hold. If Shares are acquired, the cost generally is their adjusted cost base (the “ACB”). The ACB would normally equal the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you own other Shares, the ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other Shares. The form must be filed with your annual tax return by April 30 of the following year. You should consult with a personal advisor to ensure you comply with the applicable reporting obligation.
