The awards were granted as conditional awards and will ordinarily vest on 5 April 2025, subject to the grantee's continued service and the Remuneration Committee's assessment of the extent to which the award's performance conditions are satisfied. The awards granted to Peter Mühlmann and Hanno Damm are subject to a two year post vesting holding period.

The vesting of 55 per cent. of such awards (the "TSR Part") is subject to the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance over a three year period that commenced on 5 April 2022 relative to the TSR performance over the same period of the constituents of the FTSE 250 Index (excluding investment trusts and the Company) as at 5 April 2022. One quarter of the TSR Part will vest for median ranking performance and thereafter on a straight line basis to full vesting of the TSR Part for upper quartile ranking (or better) relative TSR performance.

The vesting of 25 per cent. of such awards (the "ARR Part") is subject to the compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") in the Group's annual recuring revenue ("ARR") over the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024. One quarter of the ARR Part will vest for CAGR in ARR over the measurement period of 20 percent and thereafter on a straight line basis to full vesting of the ARR Part for CAGR in ARR over the measurement period of 30 percent (or better).

The vesting of 20 per cent. of such awards (the "TrustScore Part") is subject to targets set for the average of the TrustScores (trust performance measures) taken at the end of 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively. The TrustScore Part target will be stepped between 3.5 and 3.75 (at which point 50 per cent of the TrustScore Part will vest), and thereafter it will be measured on a straight line basis up to the maximum. 

As an additional condition, a term of the performance conditions include that no part of such LTIP awards will vest unless the Remuneration Committee is satisfied as to overall Company performance over the period until vesting, and, as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Committee will retain a power to moderate the vesting levels from awards if this is appropriate in all of the circumstances, including consideration of shareholder experience.
