Ownership Shares

Ownership Shares is an annual award in shares to compensate the overall STI target reduction of 3-6% of annualized gross salary under the Company’s 2019 STI plan awarded to employees based on seniority. The Ownership Shares have no performance conditions, only a service condition. The Ownership Shares are subject to a three-year holding requirement after the grant date. This means that a fixed population of onshore employees, based on seniority in the Company, are eligible to the Ownership Shares equal to 4-8% of annualized gross salary. The Ownership Shares program ceased by December 2025 and no further shares will be awarded under the program going forward.

The total number of Ownership Shares that vested during 2025 was 62,443 shares (2024: 92,115). The fair value of the Ownership Shares is measured at the opening share price of January 2, 2025.
