The Performance Stock Units are due to vest in 2029 following a three-year performance period. Vesting depends on achievement of specified performance criteria, aligning executive rewards with longer-term company results over that period rather than short-term share price movements alone.

Transition share awards are based on a three-year backward-looking performance period ended 31 December 2025. They will vest in 2029 for executive directors and in 2028 for other executive officers, representing the final awards used to move from an older incentive plan to the current one.

The number of PSUs, RSUs, and Transition shares was calculated using a six-month trailing volume-weighted average price to 31 January 2026 of US$74.49. This VWAP methodology smooths short-term price volatility when determining the size of the equity awards granted.
