PART

INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
Not required
to be included in this Form S-8 Registration Statement pursuant to the introductory Note to Part I of Form S-8.
PART
II
INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation
of Documents by Reference.
The following
documents which have been filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are
incorporated herein by reference:
| (a) | Prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) filed with the Commission on July 18, 2014, which contains
the Registrant’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2013 and 2012, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013; |
| (b) | All
other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, since the
end of the fiscal year covered by the document referred to in (a) above; and |
| (c) | Description
of Common Shares of the Registrant contained or incorporated in the registration statements
filed by the Registrant under the Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports filed
for the purpose of updating such description. |
All documents
subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters
all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a
part of this Registration Statement from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description
of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant’s
directors are not held personally liable for the indebtedness or other obligations of Globant S.A. As agents of Globant S.A.,
they are responsible for the performance of their duties. Subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below and mandatory
provisions of law, every person who is, or has been, a director or officer of Globant S.A. will be indemnified by Globant S.A.
to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in
connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his
or her being or having been such a director or officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him or her in the settlement thereof.
The words “claim,” “action,” “suit” or “proceeding” refer to all claims, actions,
suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or otherwise including appeals) actual or threatened and the words “liability”
and “expenses” include without limitation attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and
other liabilities.
No indemnification,
however, will be provided to any director or officer: (i) against any liability to Globant S.A. or its shareholders by reason
of willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office;
(ii) with respect to any matter as to which he or she shall have been finally adjudicated to have acted in bad faith and not in
the interest of Globant S.A.; or (iii) in the event of a settlement, unless the settlement has been approved by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by the Registrant’s board of directors.
The rights of
indemnification described above are severable, do not affect any other rights to which any director or officer may otherwise be
entitled, continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director or officer and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained in Globant S.A.’s Articles of Association affect any rights to indemnification
to which corporate personnel, including directors and officers, may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.
Expenses in
connection with the preparation and representation of a defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described
above will be advanced by Globant S.A. prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the
officer or director, who must repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant
maintains an insurance policy that protects its directors and officers from liabilities incurred as a result of actions taken
in their official capacity.
Item 7. Exemption
from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit
Index, which is incorporated here by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”);
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
Paragraphs
(l)(i) and (l)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to
the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on January 20, 2015.

GLOBANT
S.A. – S-8 Registration Statement – Validity of Shares
Dear Madam,
dear Sir,
We are acting
as Luxembourg counsel for Globant S.A., a société anonyme, having its registered office at 5, rue Guillaume
Kroll, L-1882 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, registered with the Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés
de Luxembourg under number B 173 727 (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filing of
registration statement on Form S-8 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”)
relating to the registration of two million seven hundred twenty-five thousand nine hundred seventy-eight (2,725,978) common shares
of the Company, with a nominal value of USD 1.20 each (the “Plan Shares”), one million fifty-nine thousand
three hundred eleven (1,059,311) of which to be issued or delivered under stock options agreements assumed by the Company (the
“2012 Equity Incentive Plans”) and one million six hundred sixty-six thousand six hundred sixty-seven (1,666,667)
of which to be issued or delivered under the Globant 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Equity Incentive Plan”
and together with the 2012 Equity Incentive Plans, the “Incentive Plans”).
In arriving
to the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on the documents identified in Appendix A hereto
and on such corporate records as have been disclosed to us and the factual matters contained in certifications made to
us or contained in the document reviewed, which we deemed necessary and appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.
We have assumed
for the purposes hereof that the Company will at all times continue to have a sufficient authorised unissued share capital and
sufficient authorised unissued common shares with the relevant waivers in force, and that the Company will at all times have sufficient
available reserves, to issue the common shares to be issued under the Incentive Plans all or partially as the case may be by way
of incorporation of available reserves into the issued share capital. We further assume that the board of directors or its duly
authorised delegates will duly pass the relevant resolutions for the issue of the Plan Shares (including all or partially as the
case may be by way of incorporation of available reserves into the issued share capital), in accordance with the Consolidated
Articles, the terms of the Incentive Plans, the Resolutions and applicable law.
For the purposes
of the present opinion we have further assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures and seals and that all documents reviewed
are duly signed by the persons purported to have signed them; (ii) the completeness and conformity to originals of all documents
supplied to us as certified, photostatic, scanned, electronically transmitted copies or other copies of the documents reviewed
and the authenticity of the originals of such documents and the conformity to originals of the latest drafts reviewed by us; (iii)
that there have been no amendments to the documents in the form delivered to us for the purposes of this opinion; (iv) that there
is no other resolutions, decisions, agreement or undertaking and no other arrangement (whether legally binding or not) which renders
any of the documents or information reviewed or provided to us inaccurate, incomplete or misleading or which affects the conclusions
stated in this opinion and that the documents reviewed accurately record the whole of the terms agreed between the parties thereto
relevant to this opinion; (v) that no proceedings have been instituted or injunction granted against the Company to restrain it
from performing any of its obligations under the Incentive Plans and/or issue the Plan Shares; (vi) that the terms used in the
documents reviewed carry the meaning ascribed to them in vernacular English; (vii) that upon issue of any Plan Shares the Company
will receive payment in cash of an issue price at least equal to the nominal value thereof or that the relevant Plan Shares will
be issued by way of incorporation of available reserves into the issued share capital; (viii) that there will be no amendments
to the authorised share capital of the Company which would adversely affect the issue of the Plan Shares and the conclusions stated
in this opinion and (ix) that the head office (administration centrale), the place of effective management (siège
de direction effective), and, for the purposes of the Council Regulation (EC) N° 1346/2000 of May 29, 2000 on insolvency
proceedings, as amended, the centre of main interests (centre des intérêts principaux) of the Company are
located at the place of its registered office (siège statutaire) in Luxembourg.
This opinion
is confined to Luxembourg law and given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with Luxembourg law
and will be exclusively subject to Luxembourg jurisdiction. We express no opinion with regard to any system of law other than
Luxembourg law.
The opinions
expressed herein are subject to all limitations by reason of gestion contrôlée, concordat, faillite, bankruptcy,
moratorium (sursis de paiement) and other, insolvency, moratorium, controlled management, general settlement with creditors,
reorganisation or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.
On the basis
of the foregoing and subject to any factual matters, documents or events not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:
| 1) | The Plan Shares,
once duly subscribed to, fully paid up and issued in accordance with the Resolutions,
the Consolidated Articles and the respective Incentive Plans, will be validly issued,
fully paid up and non-assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums
are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares). |
This opinion
speaks as of the date hereof and no obligation is assumed to update this opinion occurring after the date hereof.
This opinion
is issued by and signed on behalf of Arendt & Medernach SA, admitted to practice in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and registered
on the list V of lawyers of the Luxembourg Bar.
This opinion
is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Plan Shares by the Company
pursuant to the Incentive Plans. It may not be used, circulated, quoted, referred to or relied upon for any other purpose without
our written consent in each instance. We hereby consent to filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section
7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Yours faithfully,
By and on behalf
of Arendt & Medernach SA

Exhibit 99.1
GLOBANT S.A.
2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
1. Establishment,
Purpose and Types of Awards
GLOBANT S.A., a société
anonyme incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 5, rue Guillaume Kroll, L-1882
Luxembourg, registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register under number B 173 727 (the “Company”),
hereby establishes the GLOBANT S.A. 2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote
the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by (i) providing key people with incentives to improve stockholder value
and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company through their future services, and (ii) enabling the
Company to attract, retain and reward the best-available personnel.
The Plan permits the
granting of stock options (including incentive stock options qualifying under Code section 422 and nonstatutory stock options),
stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, other stock-based
awards, or any combination of the foregoing.
2. Definitions
Under this Plan, except
where the context otherwise indicates, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Administrator”
means the Board or the committee(s) or officer(s) appointed by the Board from time to time that have authority to administer the
Plan as provided in Section 3 hereof.
(b) “Affiliate”
means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company
(including, but not limited to, joint ventures, limited liability companies, and partnerships). For this purpose, “control”
shall mean ownership of 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock or interests of the entity,
or the power to direct the management and policies of the entity, by contract or otherwise.
(c) “Award”
means any stock option, stock appreciation right, stock award, restricted stock unit award, performance award, or other stock-based
award.
(d) “Board”
means the board of directors of the Company as composed from time to time.
(e) “Change
in Control” means: (i) the acquisition (other than from the Company) in one or more transactions by any Person,
as defined in this Section 2(e), of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 50% of (A) the then outstanding shares of the Company, or (B) the combined
voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Company
Voting Stock”); (ii) the closing of a sale or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company; or (iii) the effective time of any merger, share exchange, consolidation, or other business combination involving
the Company if immediately after such transaction persons who hold a majority of the outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors of the surviving entity (or the entity owning 100% of such surviving entity) are not
persons who, immediately prior to such transaction, held the Company Voting Stock; provided, however, that a Change
in Control shall not include any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Company or a public
offering of capital stock of the Company, and provided also that that for purposes of any Award or subplan that constitutes a “nonqualified
deferred compensation plan,” within the meaning of Code section 409A, the Administrator, in its discretion, may specify a
different definition of Change in Control in order to comply with the provisions of Code section 409A. For purposes of this Section 2(e),
a “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than: employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by the Company and by entities controlled
by the Company or an underwriter of the Common Shares in a registered public offering.
(f) “Code”
means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
(g) “Common
Shares” means the common shares of the Company at Par Value.
(h) “Fair
Market Value” means, with respect to the Common Shares, as of any date:
(i) if
the principal market for the Common Shares (as determined by the Administrator if the Common Shares is listed or admitted to trading
on more than one exchange or market) is a national securities exchange or an established securities market, the official closing
price per Common Share for the regular market session on that date on the principal exchange or market on which the Common Shares
are then listed or admitted to trading or, if no sale is reported for that date, on the last preceding day on which a sale was
reported;
(ii) if
the principal market for the Common Shares is not a national securities exchange or an established securities market, the average
of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Shares on that date as reported on a national quotation system or, if
no prices are reported for that date, on the last preceding day on which prices were reported; or
(iii) if
the Common Shares are neither listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or an established securities market,
nor quoted by a national quotation system, the value determined by the Administrator in good faith by reasonable application of
a reasonable valuation method.
(i) “Grant
Agreement” means a written document, including an electronic writing acceptable to the Administrator, memorializing the
terms and conditions of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan and which shall incorporate the terms of the Plan.
(j) “Par
Value” means the par value of the Common Shares from time to time, being currently $1.20 per share.
(k) “Performance
Measures” mean criteria established by the Administrator relating to any of the following, as it may apply to an individual,
one or more business units, divisions or subsidiaries, or on a Company-wide basis, and in either absolute terms or relative to

taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); operating income; pre- or after-tax income; cash flow; cash flow per share; net
earnings; earnings per share; price-to-earnings ratio; return on equity; return on invested capital; return on assets; growth in
assets; share price performance; economic value added; total shareholder return; improvement in or attainment of expense levels;
improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; relative performance to a group of companies comparable to the Company,
and strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on the Company’s meeting specified goals relating
to revenue, market penetration, business expansion, costs or acquisitions or divestitures.
3. Administration
(a) Administration
of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or by such committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board
from time to time. To the extent allowed by applicable laws, the Board by resolution may authorize an officer or officers to grant
Awards (other than stock Awards) to other officers and employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and, to the extent of such
authorization, such officer or officers shall be the Administrator.
(b) Powers
of the Administrator. The Administrator shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan and the resolution
of the Board, such powers to include authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, prescribe
Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards and establish programs for granting Awards.
The Administrator
shall have full power and authority to take all other actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including,
but not limited to, the authority to: (i) determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall
be granted; (ii) determine the types of Awards to be granted; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by or
used for reference purposes for each Award; (iv) impose such terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such
Award as the Administrator shall deem appropriate; (v) modify, amend, extend or renew outstanding Awards, or accept the surrender
of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards (provided however, that, except as provided in Section 7 of the Plan, any
modification that would materially adversely affect any outstanding Award shall not be made without the consent of the holder and
no such modification, amendment or substitution that results in repricing the Award shall be made without prior stockholder approval);
(vi) accelerate or otherwise change the time in which an Award may be exercised or becomes payable and to waive or accelerate
the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to such Award, including, but not limited to, any
restriction or condition with respect to the vesting or exercisability of an Award following termination of any grantee’s
employment or other relationship with the Company; provided, however, that no such waiver or acceleration
of lapse restrictions shall be made with respect to a performance-based stock award granted to an executive officer of the Company
if such waiver or acceleration is inconsistent with Code section 162(m); (vii) establish objectives and conditions, if any,
for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid with respect to a performance period; and (viii) for any purpose,
including but not limited to, qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws or otherwise complying with the regulatory
requirements of local or foreign jurisdictions, to establish, amend, modify, administer or terminate sub-plans, and prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to such sub-plans.
The Administrator
shall have full power and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to administer, construe and interpret the Plan, Grant
Agreements and all other documents relevant to the Plan and Awards issued thereunder, to establish, amend, rescind and interpret
such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines and instruments for the administration of the Plan and for the conduct of its business
as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable, and to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency
in the Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent the Administrator shall deem it desirable to carry it into effect.
(c) Non-Uniform
Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the
persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the Grant Agreements
evidencing such Awards, and the ramifications of a Change in Control upon outstanding Awards) need not be uniform and may be made
by the Administrator selectively among Awards or persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether
or not such persons are similarly situated.
(d) Limited
Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or decision
made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.
(e) Indemnification.
To the maximum extent permitted by law and by the Company’s articles of association, the members of the Administrator shall
be indemnified by the Company in respect of all their activities under the Plan except in the case of gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(f) Effect
of Administrator’s Decision. All actions taken and decisions and determinations made by the Administrator on all matters
relating to the Plan pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Administrator’s sole and absolute discretion
and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including the Company, its stockholders, any participants in the
Plan and any other employee, consultant, or director of the Company, and their respective successors in interest.
4. Shares
Available for the Plan
Subject to adjustments
as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan, the Common Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under
the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,666,667 shares, and of those the maximum number of shares that may be issued under
this Plan pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422 is 1,666,667. Subject to the provisions
of the law, the Company shall maintain an authorized capital comprising such number of shares for Awards under the Plan, subject
to adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan. If any Award, or portion of an Award, under the Plan expires
or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is settled in cash without delivery of Common Shares, or is forfeited or otherwise
terminated or canceled as to any shares, the shares subject to such Award shall thereafter be available for further Awards under
the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or tax obligations
shall not be available again for other Awards under the Plan.
Subject to adjustments
as provided in Section 7(d) of the Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares subject to Awards of any combination that may be granted
during any one fiscal year of the Company to any one individual under this Plan shall be limited to 666,667 shares. Such per-individual
limit shall not be adjusted to effect a restoration of Common Shares with respect to which the related Award is terminated, surrendered
or canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restriction contained in this paragraph shall not apply until the earliest of:
(1) the first material modification of the Plan (including any increase in the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance hereunder);
(2) the issuance of all of the Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; (3) the expiration of the Plan; (4) the first
meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third (3rd) calendar year following
the calendar year in which occurred the first registration of an equity security by the Company under Section 12 of the Securities
Act of 1934, as amended; or (5) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code.
5. Participation
Participation in the
Plan shall be open to all employees, officers, and directors of, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for,
the Company, or of any Affiliate of the Company, as may be selected by the Administrator from time to time. The Administrator may
also grant Awards to individuals in connection with hiring, recruiting or otherwise, prior to the date the individual first performs
services for the Company or an Affiliate, provided that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable, and no shares shall
be issued to such individual, prior to the date the individual first commences performance of such services.
6. Awards
The Administrator,
in its sole discretion, establishes the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan. Awards may be granted individually or in tandem
with other types of Awards, concurrently with or with respect to outstanding Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions
provided in the Grant Agreement.
(a) Stock
Options. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of incentive stock options as that term
is defined in Code section 422 or nonstatutory stock options; provided, however, that Awards of incentive stock
options shall be limited to employees of the Company or of any current or hereafter existing “parent corporation”
or “subsidiary corporation,” as defined in Code sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Company and any
other individuals who are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the provisions of Code section 422. Options must
have an exercise price at least equal to Fair Market Value as of the date of grant and not lower than Par Value and may not have
a term in excess of ten years’ duration. No stock option shall be an incentive stock option unless so designated by the Administrator
at the time of grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such stock option.
(b) Stock
Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible participants Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights
(“SAR”). An SAR entitles the grantee to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement,
a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of
one Common Share over (B) the base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified
by the SAR, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement shall not be less
than the lower of the Fair Market Value on the grant date (but in no case lower than Par Value) or the exercise price of any tandem
stock option Award to which the SAR is related. No SAR shall have a term longer than ten years’ duration. Payment by the
Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery of Common Shares or cash, or any combination
of Common Shares and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. If upon settlement of the exercise of an
SAR a grantee is to receive a portion of such payment in Common Shares, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such
portion by the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the exercise date, it being understood that no Common Shares shall be issued
below Par Value. No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be
given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated. The Administrator shall obtain a
report from an independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) confirming that the in-kind
consideration upon exercise of a SAR has a value at least equivalent to the number and value of Shares issued in counterpart.
(c) Stock Awards.
(i) The
Administrator may from time to time grant stock awards to eligible participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions,
and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine.
A stock award may be denominated in Common Shares or other securities, stock-equivalent units or restricted stock units, securities
or debentures convertible into Common Shares, or any combination of the foregoing and may be paid in Common Shares or other securities,
in cash, or in a combination of Common Shares or other securities and cash, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
(ii) The
Administrator may grant stock awards in a manner constituting “qualified performance-based compensation” within the
meaning of Code section 162(m). The grant of, or lapse of restrictions with respect to, such performance-based stock awards shall
be based upon one or more Performance Measures and objective performance targets to be attained relative to those Performance Measures,
all as determined by the Administrator. Performance targets may include minimum, maximum, intermediate and target levels of performance,
with the size of the performance-based stock award or the lapse of restrictions with respect thereto based on the level attained.
A performance target may be stated as an absolute value or as a value determined relative to prior performance, one or more indices,
budget, one or more peer group companies, any other standard selected by the Administrator, or any combination thereof. The Administrator
shall be authorized to make adjustments in the method of calculating attainment of Performance Measures and performance targets
in recognition of: (A) extraordinary or non-recurring items; (B) changes in tax laws; (C) changes in generally accepted accounting
principles or changes in accounting policies; (D) charges related to restructured or discontinued operations; (E) restatement of
prior period financial results; and (F) any other unusual, non-recurring gain or loss that is separately identified and quantified
in the Company’s financial statements; provided that the Administrator’s decision as to whether such adjustments will
be made with respect to any “covered employee,” within the meaning of Code section 162(m), is determined when the performance
targets are established for the applicable performance period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may, at its sole
discretion, modify the performance results upon which Awards are based under the Plan to offset any unintended results arising
from events not anticipated when the Performance Measures and performance targets were established; provided, that such modifications
may be made with respect to an Award granted to any “covered employee,” within the meaning of Code section 162(m),
only to the extent permitted by Code section 162(m) if the Award was intended to constitute “qualified performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Code section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator
is not authorized to waive or accelerate the lapse of restrictions on a performance-based stock award granted to any “covered
employee,” within the meaning of Code section 162(m), except upon death, disability or a change of ownership or control of
the Company. In the event that a Change in Control occurs after a performance-based stock award has been granted but before completion
of the applicable performance period, a pro rata portion of such Award shall become payable (or a pro rata portion of the lapse
restrictions shall lapse, as applicable) as of the date of the Change in Control to the extent otherwise earned on the basis of
achievement of the pro rata portion of the Performance Measures and performance targets relating to the portion of the performance
period completed as of the date of the Change in Control.
7. Miscellaneous
(a) Withholding
of Taxes. Grantees and holders of Awards shall pay to the Company or its Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator
for payment of, any taxes required to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating
the tax liability. The Company or its Affiliate may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment
of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or holder of an Award. In the event that payment to the Company or its Affiliate of such
tax obligations is made in Common Shares, such shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the applicable date for such purposes
and shall not exceed in amount the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation.
(b) Loans.
To the extent otherwise permitted by law, the Company or its Affiliate may make or guarantee loans to grantees to assist grantees
in exercising Awards and satisfying any withholding tax obligations.
(c) Transferability.
Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and in any event in the case of an incentive stock option or a stock appreciation
right granted with respect to an incentive stock option, no Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a grantee otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accord with the provisions
of the immediately preceding sentence, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee, only by the grantee or, during
the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by the grantee’s guardian or legal representative.
(d) Adjustments
for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.
| (i) | Stock Dividend, Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split.
In the event of a stock dividend of, or stock split or reverse stock split affecting, the Common Shares, (A) the maximum number
of shares of such Common Shares as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan and the maximum number of shares with respect
to which Awards may be granted during any one fiscal year of the Company to any individual, as provided in Section 4 of the
Plan, and (B) the number of shares covered by and the exercise price and other terms of outstanding Awards, shall, without
further action of the Board, be adjusted to reflect such event. The Administrator may make adjustments, in its discretion, to
address the treatment of fractional shares and fractional cents that arise with respect to outstanding Awards as a result of the
stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split. |
| (ii) | Non-Change
in Control Transactions. Except with respect to the transactions set forth in Section 7(d)(i), in the event of any change
affecting the Common Shares, the Company or its capitalization, by reason of a spin-off, split-up, dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation or share exchange, other than any such change that is part of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control
of the Company, the Administrator, in its discretion and without the consent of the holders of the Awards, may make (A) appropriate
adjustments to the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be granted under
the Plan, in the aggregate and with respect to any individual during any one fiscal year of the Company, as provided in Section 4
of the Plan; and (B) any adjustments in outstanding Awards, including but not limited to modifying the number, kind and price
of securities subject to Awards as the Administrator determines
to be appropriate and equitable. |
| (iii) | Change in Control Transactions. In the event of
any transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, outstanding stock options and other Awards that are payable in
or convertible into Common Shares under this Plan will terminate upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision
is made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Awards by, or for the substitution of the
equivalent awards, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent
thereof. In the event of such termination, the holders of stock options and other Awards under the Plan will be permitted, immediately
before the Change in Control, to exercise or convert all portions of such stock options or other Awards under the Plan that are
then exercisable or convertible or which become exercisable or convertible upon or prior to the effective time of the Change in
Control. |
| (iv) | Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Administrator
is authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, adjustments in the terms and conditions
of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial
statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever
the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits
or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. |
(e) Substitution
of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions. Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for awards held
by employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become or are about to become employees, officers, consultants
or directors of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company
or an Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of the assets or stock of the employing entity. The terms and
conditions of any substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein to the extent that the Administrator
deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform the substitute Awards to the provisions of the awards for which they are substituted.
(f) Other
Agreements. As a condition precedent to the grant of any Award under the Plan, the exercise pursuant to such an Award, or to
the delivery of certificates for shares issued pursuant to any Award, the Administrator may require the grantee or the grantee’s
successor or permitted transferee, as the case may be, to become a party to a stock restriction agreement, shareholders’
agreement, voting trust agreement or other agreements regarding the Common Shares of the Company in such form(s) as the Administrator
may determine from time to time.
(g) Termination,
Amendment and Modification of the Plan. The Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan or any portion thereof at any time.
Except as otherwise determined by the Board, termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
(h) Non-Guarantee
of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual
to continue in the service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such service
at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such termination results in (i) the failure of any Award to
vest; (ii) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any Award; and/or (iii) any other adverse effect on the
individual’s interests under the Plan.
(i) Compliance
with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration. If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Shares
under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or Federal, state or foreign securities laws,
the right to exercise an Award or receive Common Shares pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines
that such delivery is lawful. If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Shares under the Plan is
or may violate the rules of the national exchange on which the shares are then listed for trade, the right to exercise an Award
or receive Common Shares pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery would not
violate such rules. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Shares under
Federal, state or foreign laws.
The Company
may require that a grantee, as a condition to exercise of an Award, and as a condition to the delivery of any share certificate,
make such written representations (including representations to the effect that such person will not dispose of the Common Shares
so acquired in violation of Federal, state or foreign securities laws) and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel
for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to issue the Common Shares in compliance with applicable Federal, state or
foreign securities laws. The stock certificates for any Common Shares issued pursuant to this Plan may bear a legend restricting
transferability of the Common Shares unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state or foreign securities laws.
(j) No
Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any
kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a grantee or any other person. To the extent that any grantee or other
person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right
of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(k) Governing
Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules,
regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights
of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance
with applicable United States federal laws and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Any dispute arising from the interpretation, validity or performance of this Plan or any Grant Agreement or any of their terms
and provisions shall be submitted to the courts of the State of Delaware in the United States.
(l) Section
409A. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Code section 409A.
The Plan and all Awards granted under the Plan shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Code
section 409A to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Code section 409A(a)(1)(B). Should any provision
of the Plan, any Award Agreement, or any other agreement or arrangement contemplated by the Plan be found not to comply with, or
otherwise be exempt from, the provisions of Code section 409A, such provision shall be modified and given effect (retroactively
if necessary), in the sole discretion of the Administrator, and without the consent of the holder of the Award, in such manner
as the Administrator determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with, or to effectuate an exemption from, Code section
409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrator exercise its discretion to accelerate
the payment or settlement of an Award where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of
Code section 409A unless, and solely to the extent that, such accelerated payment or settlement is permissible under Treasury Regulation
section 1.409A-3(j)(4) or any successor provision.
(m) Effective
Date; Termination Date. The Plan is effective as of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board, subject to approval
of the stockholders within twelve months before or after such date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the close of
business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, or if earlier, the tenth anniversary
of the date this Plan is approved by the stockholders. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under
the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance
with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.

and only to the extent required by applicable law, the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding anything in the Plan or
a Grant Agreement to the contrary:

is entitled to exercise on the date employment terminates, will continue until the earlier of the option expiration date, or:
(1) At least 6 months from the
date of termination if termination was caused by death or disability.
(2) At least 30 days from the date

delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Shares under
federal or state laws.
Exhibit 99.2
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is hereby entered into as of this ______ day of _____, 2013 (the “Effective Date”),
by and among “Globant S.A.”, a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
having its registered office at 5, rue Guillaume Kroll, L-1882 Luxembourg, registered with the Luxembourg trade and companies register
under number B 173 727 (the “Company”); “[name of original employer].”, a _________ organized under
the laws of ______________ which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Employer”), and [Name
of Beneficiary] (hereinafter, the “Beneficiary” and, together with the Company and the Employer, the “Parties”).
WHEREAS, Beneficiary
is an employee of the Employer;
WHEREAS, the Employer
is an indirectly owned subsidiary of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company
desires to grant the Beneficiary an option to acquire the Company´s Equity Interests upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, for
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant
of Option. The Company herby grants to the Beneficiary an option (the “Stock Option”) to acquire ______
Equity Interests (as adjusted for any applicable share splits, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalization or the like) on the
terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.
3. Vesting
of Stock Option. The Stock Option will become vested as set forth on Schedule A; provided, however, that the Beneficiary
is in the continuous employ of the Globant Group from the date on which this Agreement is entered into through the applicable date
upon which vesting is scheduled to occur.
3. Exercisability
of Stock Option. To the extent vested, the Stock Option shall become exercisable subject to the terms of this Agreement upon
the earliest of the following dates: (a) an Event of Liquidity and/or (b) an IPO, provided that the Beneficiary has been in the
continuous employ of the Globant Group through such date. Unless earlier terminated as a result of the Beneficiary’s termination
of employment as provided in Section 4, below, this Stock Option shall terminate and shall not be exercisable after June 30, 2019
(the “Expiration Date”).
4. Termination
of Employment. If the Beneficiary’s employment by the Globant Group terminates on account of the Beneficiary’s
resignation or termination of the Beneficiary’s employment with Justified Cause, then: a) this Stock Option will terminate
immediately upon such termination of employment, whether any portion has been vested or not; and b) the Company shall have the
right to repurchase from the Beneficiary any Globant stock issued to the Beneficiary under the Stock Option, at a price equal to
the Exercise Price paid by the Beneficiary for such stock, plus interest accrued at 6-month LIBOR plus 3% (the “Repurchase
Price”). The repurchase shall be effective, and the Globant stock repurchased shall be recorded in the name of the Company
as treasury stock, upon the Company’s delivery of a notice of repurchase to the Beneficiary to its domicile of record and
transfer of the Repurchase Price to the Beneficiary or, in the absence of a valid or current bank account in the name of the Beneficiary
on record with the Company, upon further delivery of notice requesting the Beneficiary to provide the wire transfer details of
a valid and current bank account opened in the name of the Beneficiary. If the Beneficiary fails to respond within 30 days of notice
to such effect, indicating in writing to the Company the wire transfer instructions of a bank account opened in its name for the
transfer of the Repurchase Price, then the Company may choose to pay the Repurchase Price by transferring the corresponding amount
to any bank account of the Beneficiary that is on record with any Affiliate of the Company, or by delivering a check to the domicile
of record the Beneficiary. In the case of the Beneficiary’s resignation, this Stock Option shall terminate, and the right
of the Company to repurchase the Beneficiary’s issued Globant shares shall become executable, upon the communication, by
any means, of the Beneficiary’s intention to resign or leave its employment with the Globant Group. This right of repurchase
by the Company shall not be exercisable after the occurrence of an IPO of Globant stock. If the Beneficiary’s employment
by the Globant Group terminates for any reason other than the Beneficiary’s resignation or termination for Justified Cause,
the portion of this Stock Option that is vested upon such termination of employment will be exercisable subject to the terms of
this Agreement as if the Beneficiary had remained in the employ of the Globant Group during the one-year period following such
termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date.
5. Exercise
Procedure. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the vested portion of this Stock Option may be exercised
by delivery of written notice of exercise on any business day to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, in such form as the Company
may require from time to time. Such notice shall specify the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Option is being exercised
and shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for such shares in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.
The exercise will be effective upon receipt by the Company’s Corporate Secretary of such written notice accompanied by the
required payment or properly executed, irrevocable instructions to effectuate a broker-assisted cashless exercise or net exercise
as provided in Section 6 below. The Stock Option may be exercised only in multiples of whole shares.
6. Payment
of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by (i) delivery of cash, certified or cashier’s check, money
order or other cash equivalent acceptable in the Company’s discretion, (ii) following an IPO, by a broker-assisted cashless
exercise through a brokerage firm approved by the Company, or, (iii) to the extent allowed by applicable law, by withholding of
Option Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise which have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise
Price, or a combination of the foregoing.
7. Delivery
of Shares upon Exercise. Upon due exercise of the Stock Option, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Company will deliver to the beneficiary, the brokerage firm specified in the Beneficiary’s delivery instructions pursuant
to a broker-assisted cashless exercise, or such other person exercising the Stock Option following the Beneficiary’s death,
as the case may be, the number of shares of Stock so paid for, in the form of fully paid and nonassessable Stock. The Stock certificates
delivered hereunder will, unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under applicable law,
bear a legend restricting transferability of such shares, and if such shares are subject to restrictions pursuant to Section 9
hereof, will bear a legend referencing such restrictions. No fractional shares will be delivered pursuant to this Stock Option.
8. Adjustments
and Business Combinations.
(a) Adjustments
for Events Affecting the Company or the Stock. In the event of changes affecting the Company, the capitalization of the Company
or the Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, consolidation,
business combination or exchange of shares and the like, the Company may, in its discretion and without the consent of the Beneficiary,
either (i) cancel the Stock Option in exchange for a payment to the Beneficiary for each Stock Option outstanding equal the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the vested portion of the Stock Option over the Exercise Price, or (ii)
make appropriate adjustments to the number, kind and exercise price of shares covered by the Stock Option, preserving the terms
and benefits provided hereunder, and will, in its discretion and without the consent of the Beneficiary, make any other adjustments
in this Stock Option, including but not limited to mandating alternative settlement methods such as settlement of the Stock Option
in cash or in other securities of the Company or of any other entity, as the Company, in its sole discretion, determines to be
necessary or appropriate. Appropriate adjustments to the number, kind and exercise price of shares covered by the Stock Option
as described above shall be made in a manner consistent with United States Treasury Regulation Section 409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D), which
sets forth rules regarding the substitution of new stock options for an existing stock options pursuant to a corporate transaction,
including rules that govern the aggregate value of the new stock options and the ratio of the exercise price to the value of the
stock subject to the new stock options.
(b) Adjustments
for Unusual Events. The Company is authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of the Beneficiary, equitable
adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, the Stock Option in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations,
or accounting principles, whenever the Company determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Stock Option.
(c) Binding
Nature of Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 8 will be made by the Company, whose determination as to what adjustments,
if any, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive without any action or consent by the Beneficiary
or any other person. No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to this Stock Option on account of any such adjustments.
9. Agreement
to Execute Other Agreements. As a condition to the receipt of this Stock Option, the Beneficiary hereby agrees to execute and
abide by the terms of (i) any “lock-up” or similar agreement required by the Company that restricts the Beneficiary’s
right to exercise the Stock Option or sell Shares during any lock-up period either in connection with an IPO or as otherwise necessary
to comply with any applicable laws governing the Stock Option, the Stock, or the Company, and, (ii) if the Stock Option is exercised
before an IPO, the shareholders agreement of the Company titled "Convenio de Socios", dated as of February 23,
2011 (as amended and supplemented from time to time) and/or a voting trust agreement, copies of which are available from the Company’s
Corporate Secretary.
10. Non-Guarantee
of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement will alter the Beneficiary’s employment status with the Employer or any member
of the Globant Group, nor be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between the Beneficiary and the Employer
or any member of the Globant Group, or as a contractual right for the Beneficiary to continue in the employ of, or in a service
relationship with, the Employer or any member of the Globant Group for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the
Employer or any member of the Globant Group to discharge the Beneficiary at any time with or without Justified Cause or notice
and whether or not such discharge results in the failure of any of the Stock Options to become exercisable.
11. No
Rights as a Stockholder. The Beneficiary shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares until
such Shares have been issued to upon the due exercise of the Stock Options. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.
12. Nontransferability.
The Stock Options and, before exercise, the underlying Option Shares, are nontransferable otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution and, during the Beneficiary’s lifetime, the Stock Options may be exercised only by the Beneficiary.
Except as provided above, the Stock Options and, before exercise, the underlying Option Shares, may not be assigned, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated, or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process.
13. The
Company’s Rights. The existence of the Stock Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or
its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's
capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred
or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company's assets or business, or any other corporate
act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. Any reference herein to the Company shall include any successor
to the rights of Company hereunder.
14. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Beneficiary, Employer and the Company with respect to the
Stock Options. Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other communications made prior
to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Stock Options shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.
15. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not
be modified in a manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the Stock Options or Shares, except as provided in a written
document signed by the Beneficiary and the Company.
16. Section
409A. With respect to Beneficiaries who are US Persons subject to United States income tax, this Agreement and the Stock Options
granted hereunder are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue
Code, which governs the taxation of gross income attributable to arrangements that are deemed to be nonqualified deferred compensation
plans. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as including any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral
of recognition of income until the exercise of the Stock Options. Should any provision of this Agreement be found not to comply
with, or otherwise be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code, it may be modified
and given effect, in the sole discretion of the Company and without requiring the Beneficiary’s consent, in such manner as
the Administrator determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with, or to effectuate an exemption from, Section 409A of
the United States Internal Revenue Code. The foregoing, however, shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular
tax effect to the Beneficiary.
17. Electronic
Delivery of Documents. By signing this Agreement, the Beneficiary (i) consents to the electronic delivery of this Agreement,
all information with respect to the Stock Options, and any reports of the Company provided generally to the Company’s stockholders;
(ii) acknowledge that he or she may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no
cost by contacting the Company by telephone or in writing; (iii) further acknowledge that he or she may revoke this consent to
the electronic delivery of documents at any time by notifying the Company of such revoked consent by telephone, postal service
or electronic mail; and (iv) further acknowledge that he or she understands that his or her consent to electronic delivery of documents
is not required.
18. Personal
Data. For the purpose of implementing, administering and managing these Stock Options, the Beneficiary consents to the collection,
receipt, use, retention and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data by and among the Company and its third party
vendors or any potential party to any transaction or capital raising transaction involving the Company. The Beneficiary understands
that personal data (including but not limited to, name, home address, telephone number, employee number, employment status, social
security number, tax identification number, date of birth, nationality, job and payroll location, data for tax withholding purposes
and shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested and unvested) may be transferred to third parties assisting in the implementation,
administration and management of this Stock Option and the Beneficiary expressly authorizes such transfer as well as the retention,
use, and the subsequent transfer of the data by the recipient(s). The Beneficiary understands that these recipients may be located
in his or her country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections
than Beneficiary’s country. The Beneficiary understands that data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement,
administer and manage this Stock Option. The Beneficiary understands that he or she may, at any time, request a list with the names
and addresses of any potential recipients of the personal data, 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 the Company’s Corporate Secretary. The Beneficiary also understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing
consent may affect his or her ability to accept or maintain the Stock Option.
19. Risk
and Financial Information Disclosure. For purposes of claiming an exemption from registration under Rule 701 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (which provides an exemption for offers and sales of securities pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and
contracts relating to compensation), the Beneficiary agrees that any information required by that exemption may be provided either
by physical or electronic delivery or by written notice of the availability of the information on an Internet site that may be
password-protected and of any password needed to access the information. The Beneficiary may be required to execute an agreement
to keep the information confidential as a condition precedent to the provision of the information, and any such agreement shall
be executed in such manner and form as the Company may require from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
have no initial or continuing obligation to provide the Beneficiary with the information described in this Section, except as otherwise
required by applicable law.
20. Governing
Law. The validity, construction, and effect of this Agreement, and of any determinations or decisions made by the Company relating
to this Agreement, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest under this Agreement, shall be
determined exclusively in accordance with the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, without regard to its provisions concerning
the applicability of laws of other jurisdictions.
21. Arbitration.
The parties hereto agree that all questions or matters in dispute with respect to this Agreement shall be subject to arbitration
pursuant to the following terms and conditions: (i) it shall be a condition precedent to the right of any party hereto to submit
any matter to arbitration to give prior written notice of its intention to do so to the other party explaining the matter in dispute.
After 10 days from the notice the party who gave such notice may proceed to refer the dispute to arbitration; (ii) the party desiring
arbitration shall appoint one arbitrator and shall notify the other party of such appointment, and the other party shall, within
15 days after such notice is deemed delivered, appoint an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so named, before proceeding to act,

with them and be chairman of the arbitration herein provided for. If the other party shall fail to appoint an arbitrator within
15 days after notice of the appointment of the first arbitrator is deemed delivered, the first arbitrator shall be the only arbitrator.
If the two arbitrators appointed by the parties by the parties shall be unable to agree on the appointment of the chairman, the
chairman shall be appointed under the provisions of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"); and (iii) except as
specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the
ICC. The chairman or the arbitrator as the case may be shall fix a time and place in the city of Luxembourg, for the purpose of
hearing the parties. After the hearing the arbitrator or arbitrators shall make an award and deliver a copy to the parties. Each
party shall pay its own cost and expenses of the arbitration. The parties agree that the award shall be final and binding upon
the parties
22. Taxes.
All payments of Stock or cash hereunder shall be subject to such withholding taxes and other taxes as may be provided by law. The
Beneficiary shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes attributable to the economic rights provided by this Agreement.
23. Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
24. Definitions.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Affiliate” means any
entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company (including,

Liquidity.
“Fair Market Value”

furnished by a professional market maker for the Stock, or by such other source, selected by the Company. If no public trading
of the Stock occurs on the relevant date but the shares are so listed, then Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the last
date before the relevant date on which trading of the Stock did occur. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “relevant
date” as used in this definition means either the date as of which Fair Market Value is to be determined or the next

of any of the Globant Group’s assets, commission of an intentional or grossly negligent act that has a detrimental effect
on the Globant Group’s business, assets or reputation, or Beneficiary’s failure to perform one or more of his duties
and responsibilities promptly following receipt of written notice of Beneficiary’s failure to perform such duties and responsibilities,
or any other statutory cause or cause pursuant to the law governing the Beneficiary’s employment contract (if any).
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the Parties hereto have read, understood, and voluntary executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.
