Vesting criteria have been set as follows:
· TSR of no less than median performance against the selected benchmark for minimum vesting, with a sliding scale above this level, up to full vesting for top-quartile performance.
· 20% annual compound growth in Celebrus ARR** to achieve minimum award vesting, with a sliding scale above this level, up to full vesting at 25% compound growth, as shown in the calculation below . The awards will benefit from dividend equivalents in accordance with the LTIP Rules.
The awards are subject to an exercise price of £0.02 per share.
** 'ARR' (Annual Recurring Revenue, or 'Group ARR') is defined as the amount of revenue contracted at a point in time, derived from Celebrus software, and Celebrus and non-Celebrus managed services, that is expected to recur within the next twelve months. It excludes third-party software license revenue. 'Celebrus ARR' excludes non-Celebrus managed services from the total.
