The awards are contingent on the company's performance and the overall shareholder experience during the vesting period. This move aligns with the company's strategy to incentivize and retain top talent, ensuring their commitment to the long-term success of the organization. The notification and public disclosure of these transactions comply with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014.

The awards reflect the company's confidence in its long-term prospects and its commitment to delivering value to its shareholders.

This strategic move not only serves as a means to reward and motivate key individuals within the organization but also underscores the company's confidence in its future performance. It also demonstrates the company's commitment to aligning the interests of its leadership with those of its shareholders, fostering a culture of accountability and long-term value creation.
