SUMMARY OF THE MAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LTIP
Employee Long Term Incentive Plan – 2021
1. PREAMBLE
- (A) This 2021 Employee Long Term Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of AmRest Holdings, SE on December 2021.
- (B) The LTI seeks to encourage the long-term and sustainable growth of the AmRest Group. To this end, the purpose of the LTI is to retain and incentivize the performance of those key individuals who may materially contribute to the creation of value for the Company and its shareholders.
- (C) The LTI offers the Beneficiaries the opportunity to participate in the Group's success through the granting of Performance Shares. A vested Performance Share may entitle the Beneficiary to receive Shares of the Company, depending on AmRest's performance.

3.1 Except for options or other entitlements that they may hold under previous Stock Option or Management Incentive Plans, Beneficiaries are not entitled to participate in any other incentive or remuneration plans under which they could receive Shares, options to acquire Shares or other equivalent rights or benefits. The acceptance by a Beneficiary of an Invitation implies the Beneficiary's automatic and immediate resignation from any other such program
(excluding grants which are prior to the acceptance of the Invitation), as well as waiving any potential or accrued rights or benefits thereunder, without any other consideration than the opportunity to participate in this Plan.

- 3.3 The number of Performance Shares to be finally granted to a Beneficiary will be determined during the month of May 2024, by applying the following formula (the resulting number of Performance Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest integer number):
PS = [(Grant x Performance Shares′ Multiplier ÷ Exchange Rate) ÷ (VWAP ÷ Exchange Rate)]
Where:
Exchange Rate: the Exchange Rate to Euros.
Grant: amount included in the Invitation.
Performance Shares' Multiplier: multiplier included in Annex Błąd! Nie można odnaleźć źródła odwołania..
