Vesting of awards is subject to the satisfaction over the three-year period, beginning 1 April 2025 of specified performance conditions, based on the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in respect of half of the award, and growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in respect of the other half.  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.
