subsidiary for employees who elect to participate in the Edwards Lifesciences
Corporation 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan For International Employees (the
“International Plan”), and (ii) employees who elect to participate in Edwards
Lifesciences Corporation 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan For United States Employees
(the "US Plan").
The International Plan was initially adopted by the Company’s Board of
Directors on February 8, 2001. The International Plan was then amended and restated by

restated by the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time and most recently on
November 19, 2020.

The Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common
stock at a discount through voluntary payroll deductions.
If an employee elects to participate, the employee must indicate the percentage
of his or her base pay that the employee elects to have deducted for the purchase of
shares by exercise of the Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan. An employee may elect
1-12% (1-15%, effective January 1, 2021), in whole percentages only, of the employee’s
base pay to be applied to the purchase of shares under the Plan.
Payroll deductions are accumulated during each calendar quarter and applied to
the purchase of shares on each exercise date (hereinafter "Purchase Date" as defined in
the Plan). Shares may be purchased only with voluntary payroll deductions.

The number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not
exceed 9,600,000 shares.

but to encourage and facilitate stock ownership by employees by providing an opportunity
to purchase common stock through voluntary payroll deductions.
The Company does not have the right to purchase the Options.

reason by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(d) Upon termination of the Plan, the date of termination shall be

automatically be deemed to be a Subscription for the Offering that
commences immediately following such Offering End Date, provided that
the Participant is still an Eligible Employee and has not withdrawn
the Subscription. Under the foregoing automatic enrollment provisions,
payroll deductions or contributions, as applicable, will continue at
the level in effect immediately prior to the new Offering Commencement

be used to purchase shares of Stock at the next Purchase Date for the
Offering to which the Subscription related, in accordance with this

reason that results in the Participant not qualifying as an Eligible
Employee, any Subscription then in effect will be deemed to have been
withdrawn and any payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s
account will be used to purchase Stock on the next Purchase Date for
the Offering with respect to which such deductions relate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant has a Subscription
in effect on the Participant’s termination of employment, payroll
deductions (at the rate in effect on the termination date) shall
continue to be made from Base Pay earned prior to termination of
employment, if any, that is paid to the Participant after such
termination of employment and before the earlier of (i) the three-
month anniversary of such termination of employment, or (ii) the
Offering End Date of such Offering. Any such payroll deduction shall
be used to purchase Stock on the next Purchase Date for the Offering
after the deduction is made.

and authority to terminate or amend the Plan at any time and for any
reason; provided, however, that the Company’s Board of Directors

number of shares which may be issued under any Offering (except

otherwise by the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon termination of

establish administrative procedures regarding the exercise of
outstanding rights to purchase Stock or to determine that such rights
shall not be exercised.

Aggregate Amount of the Rough Estimate of the Rough Estimate of the Net
Paid in Money (Note) Expenses on the Issuance Proceeds Deducted
Approx. $ 59,043,596 Not Applicable Approx. $ 59,043,596
(Approx. ¥6,714,437,737) (Approx. ¥6,714,437,737)
(Note) The above amount is an aggregate of the money to be paid upon exercise
of all Stock Purchase Rights reported under this document.
With respect to the matter of expenses, the issuance is not being
delegated to a third party and there are no specific fees (e.g.,
underwriting fees) associated therewith. The issuance did generate
certain internal administration expenses, however, it is difficult to
allocate such expenses appropriately.
Breakdown, Amount and Timing of Use of Proceeds
All funds received upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Rights will be
used for general corporate purposes and for any other purposes as
determined from time to time. It is difficult for the Company to
decide at this stage the specific purposes and the specific amount of
money allotted for each purpose, as well as the timing of such use.
(xiv) Date of the issuance of new Stock Purchase Rights
The Stock Purchase Rights are issued upon subscription.
(xv) If the relevant securities are to be listed on a stock exchange, the name of
the relevant stock exchange
Not applicable.
(xvi) Matters pertaining to the bond etc. with stock option having the term to
modify the execution price
1) The reason for the Company's raising funds by issuing Options with
Amendments of the Exercise Price
The primary goal of the Company is to increase the number of employee
ownership by providing an opportunity to purchase common stock through
voluntary payroll deductions. The Company does not specially offer the
International Plan and the US Plan to raise the funds, even though it
does actually raise the funds by such offering. The issuance of shares
under the International Plan and the US Plan results in dilution of
the ownership interest of existing shareholders. However, this
dilution is limited by the restrictions on the maximum amount of share
issuance under the International Plan and the US Plan as described
herein.
The Company believes that encouraging stock ownership by employees of
Company and its affiliates through the International Plan and the US
Plan is an effective method of aligning the interests of employees and
Company shareholders in a way that is beneficial to employees,
shareholders, and the Company.
2) Derivatives trading under Article 19, Paragraph 9 of the Cabinet Office
Ordinance Concerning Disclosure of Information on Companies

3) Agreement to be made between the Company and the holders of the Options
in connection with exercising the Options (including money or other
property which is paid in order to limit the persons' exercising the
Options)

4) Agreement to be made between the Company and the holders of the Options
in connection with selling and buying Company stock
Not applicable.
5) Agreement to be made between the Company's stake holders or any other
interested parties and the holders of the Options in connection with
borrowing and lending of Company stock
Not applicable.
6) Other matters for protection of investors
Not applicable.
