AUB Group Limited Annual Report 2023

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

21 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS (CONTINUED) (d) Performance Period - 200,000 CEO 5 year PSRs In FY20, a sign-on bonus of 200,000 PSRs was granted to the CEO that vest over 5 years. In the previous year, one third of the PSRs were tested over the three year performance period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022. The TSR and EPS hurdles for the sign-on PSR grant are as shown in part (a) and (b). Based on the TSR and EPS outcomes (see previous year remuneration report), all 66,667 PSRs (both TSR PSRs and EPS PSRs) satisfied the performance hurdles and will therefore remain on foot and vest at the end of the 5 year period ended 30 June 2024, subject to the CEO’s employment conditions. The remaining balance of 133,333 PSRs (TSR and EPS) will be tested after the completion of the 5 year period ended 30 June 2024. Any unvested PSRs at that time will lapse. The SARs granted in FY22, have five-year performance period which is intentionally longer than the 3 year performance period for other performance options granted under the LTI Plan. Additionally there is a further post exercise holding lock of two years which is designed to act as an additional mechanism with executives having additional AUB Group equity ownership. SARs will be tested against a CAGR of the EPS of the Company during the five-year performance period covering 1 July 21 to 30 June 2026. Vested SARs Vesting will require stretch performance exceeding regular LTI plan maximum, as well as peer LTI maximum, together with 5 years of ongoing employment from 1 July 2021. Shares allocated on vesting and conversion of SARs are subject to the terms of AUB Group’s Share Trading Policy and carry full dividend and voting rights upon allocation. SARs will automatically vest and convert into Shares if the vesting conditions have been satisfied, expected to be on or around 31 August 2026. Vested SARs will be converted to shares in AUB Group Limited based on the formula below. There is no conversion price or exercise price payable for the conversion of any vested SARs.
