Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled to retain: 2.5.1 his directorship and role as Chairman of Verlinvest; and 2.5.2 his professorship at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (the “Interests”) provided always that the Interests do not interfere with his duties under this Agreement at any point. 2.6 Following the service of notice by either party to terminate the Executive's employment, or if the Executive purports to terminate this Agreement in breach of contract, the Board may by written notice require the Executive not to perform any services for a defined period or until the termination of his employment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the decision whether or not to release the Executive shall be in the absolute discretion of the Company, taking account of whatever circumstances and factors it sees fit. 2.8 The Company shall be able to suspend the Executive for so long as is reasonable, in order to investigate a complaint made against him. 3. SALARY, BONUS AND EQUITY 3.1 The Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary (which shall accrue from day to day) at the rate of £750,000 per annum inclusive of any directors' fees payable to the Executive under the articles of association of the Company or any Associated Company subject to statutory deductions. The salary shall be payable by equal monthly instalments by credit transfer to the Executive's bank or building society account. 3.2 The salary payable to the Executive under clause 3.1 shall increase to £765,000 with effect from 1 April 2020. Subsequently, the said salary shall be reviewed by the compensation committee of the Company annually in April, the next such review to take place in April 2021, and may (if at all) be increased by such amount as the compensation committee may in its absolute discretion decide and notify to the Executive in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive's salary shall not be decreased on any review. 3.3 The Executive shall during the continuance of the employment be eligible to be paid bonuses of such amounts, at such times and subject to the achievement of such financial and other performance targets as the Board and the compensation committee of the Company may in their absolute discretion decide. The Executive's target annual discretionary bonus shall be 3 LON 576853544v18

100% of his base salary. For the avoidance of doubt, no entitlement to any part of a bonus accrues on a daily basis. A payment in one year does not create any entitlement to receive a further bonus payment. Where the Executive’s employment ends during a bonus year, the Company shall (in its absolute discretion and taking account of any such facts or circumstances as it sees fit) give consideration to a pro rata bonus payment. 3.4 The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Nomad Foods Limited Long Term 2015 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and to benefit from any award agreements made under it in accordance with the terms of the Plan and of such award agreements. It is agreed that the Company shall advise the Executive each year by letter of the level of award (if any) that will be made to the Executive under the Plan in the third year following the date of the letter (subject always to the Plan and the vesting and performance provisions set forth in the Plan and/or any relevant award agreements) so that the Executive has visibility at all times of the value of the awards due for the next three years. The award for 2020, 2021 and 2022 has been agreed with the Compensation Committee in December 2019 to be 300,000 shares per annum. 3.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, due to its material noncompliance as a result of the Executive’s misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the United States securities laws, then, and only if Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or a successor provision is then in effect, the Executive shall reimburse the Company for (i) any bonus or other incentive- based or equity-based compensation received by the Executive from the Company during the twelve (12) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) (whichever first occurs) of the financial documents embodying such noncompliant financial reporting and (ii) any profits realised from the sale of securities of the Company during such twelve (12) month period. 4. BENEFITS 4.1 The Company shall pay for the benefit of the Executive an annual contribution of 10% of the salary payable to the Executive pursuant to clause 3 of this Agreement, at the choice of the Executive either into such pension plan (whether personal or company) as the Executive may direct in writing or to the Executive directly in equal monthly instalments. A contracting-out certificate is not currently in force in respect of the employment of the Executive. 4.2 The Company shall pay, in respect of the Executive, premiums to a: 4.2.1 private medical insurance scheme in respect of the Executive and the Executive’s dependants; 4.2.2 permanent health insurance scheme; 4.2.3 life assurance scheme (3 times salary) with such level of benefits as the Board shall in its absolute discretion decide. The Executive's participation in such schemes is subject to (1) the premiums for the Executive's cover being at such a rate that the Company considers reasonable (2) any statutory or other regulatory limit applicable to such premium (3) the insurer accepting the Executive for cover and (4) the rules of the relevant scheme and the rules of the insurance policy of the relevant insurance provider from time to time in force. 4.3 The Company reserves the right to (1) change the provider of any of the benefits available under this clause and (2) alter the level of coverage available to the Executive at any time. The Company shall only be obliged to make payments to the Executive under the permanent health scheme if and to the extent it has received payment from the insurance provider for that purpose. The Company shall have no liability in the event that insurance cover is refused, or any conditions or limitations are applied, by the provider. The Company shall be 4 LON 576853544v18

under no obligation to take any action to enforce the terms of any insurance policy or challenge any decision of the relevant policy provider. 4.4 The Company shall pay to the Executive a car allowance of £14,400 per annum paid by equal monthly instalments in arrears. 4.5 The Executive shall be entitled to 25 days paid holiday in each of the Company's holiday years in addition to the usual public and bank holidays. On termination the Executive shall be paid in lieu of any untaken holiday entitlement (if any) or shall be obliged to repay any holiday pay received in excess of the Executive's entitlement (if any). One day's pay for the purposes of this clause shall be calculated at the rate of 1/260th of the Executive's annual salary. 4.6 Holiday shall be taken at such times as are approved by the Board and may not be carried forward from one holiday year to the next without the approval of the Board (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company may require the Executive to take any holiday due to him at any time after notice of termination has been served by either party. 4.7 In the event that the Executive is unable to carry out his duties by reason of sickness or injury he shall, subject to compliance with the Company's procedures relating to notification and certification periods, be entitled to statutory sick pay in accordance with the relevant statutory rules. In addition, the Company will continue to make payments of salary to the Executive (subject to credit for any statutory sick pay and any payment to the Executive of benefit under any permanent health insurance scheme provided by the Company) and continue to provide the benefits provided for in this Agreement for all periods of such incapacity up to a maximum of 26 weeks of such incapacity in any period of 52 weeks. To the extent that any sickness or injury is caused by the negligence or breach of duty of any third party and the Executive makes a claim for damages against such third party any payments or benefits provided under this clause shall be deemed a loan by the Company and recoverable to the extent that a judgement is obtained and satisfied. 4.8 The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable vouched for travelling and similar out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the discharge of his duties subject to the Company's expenses policy in force from time to time. 4.9 The Executive shall undergo an examination by a registered medical practitioner nominated by the Company at such times as the Company may reasonably request and at the expense of the Company, and hereby consents to the medical adviser disclosing the results of the examination to the Company and shall provide the Company with such formal consents as may be reasonably requested for this purpose and shall co-operate in ensuring the prompt delivery to the Company of any such report. 4.10 If the Executive shall be a director of the Company or any Associated Company (save for Nomad), the Company shall pay premiums to a directors and officers liability insurance policy which offers cover for the Executive in respect of any office he may hold in the Company or any Associated Company. Such cover shall be on no less favourable terms than are applicable to other offices of the Company or any Associated Company. The terms of the cover in respect of his appointment as a director of Nomad are set out in the Schedule to this Agreement. 5.

For the avoidance of doubt, such payment shall not include (1) any bonus that might otherwise be due during the relevant period; (2) any benefits which the Executive might have been entitled to receive during the period; or (3) any payment in respect of holiday entitlement which may have accrued during that period. 6.3 The Company shall at all times be entitled to terminate this Agreement and the Executive's employment forthwith without any payment by way of compensation, damages, payment in lieu of notice or otherwise if the Executive: 6.3.1 is guilty of any gross misconduct; or 6.3.2 commits any serious, material or repeated breach or non-observance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement; or 7 LON 576853544v18

The rights of the Company under clause are without prejudice to any other rights that it may have at law to terminate this Agreement or to accept a breach by the Executive as having brought it to an end. Any delay by the Company in exercising its rights to terminate shall not constitute a waiver thereof. 6.4 If the employment of the Executive is transferred to an Associated Company by reason of the liquidation of the Company for the purposes of reconstruction or amalgamation or as part of any arrangement for the amalgamation or reconstruction of the Company not involving insolvency and the Executive is offered employment with any concern or undertaking resulting from such reconstruction or amalgamation on the same terms and conditions (save for the identity of the employer) as this Agreement the Executive shall have no claim against the Company in respect of such transfer or termination. 6.5 On termination (or once notice has been served by either party and the Company has exercised its rights under clause 2.6 of this Agreement), the Executive shall: (a) at the request of the Board immediately resign from any office held by him in the Group (including Nomad) without claim for compensation (without prejudice to any claims he may have for damages for breach of this Agreement) and in the event of his failure to do so the Company is irrevocably authorised to appoint some person in his name and on his behalf to sign and deliver such resignations to the Board; and (b) immediately repay all outstanding debts and loans due to the Company or any Associated Company and the Company is hereby authorised to deduct from any monies due to the Executive a sum in repayment of all or any part of any such debts or loans. 8 LON 576853544v18
