Vesting of awards is subject to the satisfaction over the three-year period,

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.
