APPROVAL OF THE IAG EXECUTIVE SHARE PLAN AND ALLOTMENT OF A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY FOR SHARE AWARDS

8.- APPROVAL OF A NEW SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN OF THE COMPANY.

RESOLUTION 8

"To approve the new share-based remuneration plan of International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. (the "Company" or "IAG") for the executive directors and employees of the Company and the other companies of the IAG Group, which includes the delivery of IAG shares or stock options or remuneration indexed to the value of IAG shares (the "IAG Executive Share Plan 2021" or the "Executive Share Plan"), with the following principle terms:

  • 1. Participants: The executive directors and employees of the Company and of the other companies of the IAG Group who, meeting the requirements established for this purpose from time to time, are invited to participate in the Executive Share Plan.
  • 2. Grant of awards: Under the Executive Share Plan participants can be granted a right to receive shares in the Company in the future subject to them remaining in employment. The right (referred to as an "award") can take the form of rights to free shares or options to acquire shares at an exercise price set at the time of grant (which may be zero). When the participant becomes entitled to the shares the award is said to have vested. Awards under the Executive Share Plan can also be granted to facilitate the deferral of annual bonuses into shares of the Company ("BDA awards").

The number or type of shares subject to an award and/or any exercise price may be adjusted to reflect a rights issue, a corporate event such as a demerger or any variation in the share capital of the Company. Awards are not generally transferable (except to personal representatives on death or with the consent of the Board) and are not pensionable. Participants do not pay for the grant of an award. Any shares issued following the vesting of awards will rank equally with shares of the same class in issue on the date of allotment except in respect of rights arising by reference to a prior record date.

Awards will normally only be granted within 42 days of the announcement of the Company's results for any period or the annual general meeting. Awards may also be granted at other time if the Board determines there are exceptional circumstances

  • 3. Duration of the Executive Share Plan: The Executive Share Plan will have a duration of 10 years from its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting. Therefore, no awards under the Executive Share Plan can be granted more than 10 years after its approval by the Shareholders' Meeting.
  • 4. Awards to executive directors: Awards (other than BDA awards) to executive directors will be in the form of restricted shares so that vesting will normally be subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of one or more underpins determined by the Board normally over a period of three financial years starting with the year in which the award is made. The underpins will be designed to ensure an acceptable level of vesting. The Board will also have regard to the underlying performance of the Company.
  • 5. Awards to employees: Awards to employees may be in the form of restricted shares or the receipt of shares may be subject to the satisfaction of a performance condition tested over at least three financial years of the Company.
  • 6. Individual limits to executive directors: Restricted share awards to executive directors will be subject to the limit set out in the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting and applicable from time to time.
  • 7. Vesting of awards: Awards will only vest if and to the extent that any underpin or if relevant any performance condition is met. However, notwithstanding the extent to which any underpin or performance condition is met, the Board may apply a discretionary downward adjustment to the vesting of an award if it considers it appropriate to do so, including to lapse an award in full.

To the extent the award vests, shares will be issued or transferred to the participant or, in the case of an option, the participant may exercise the option for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant. Instead of issuing or transferring shares, a cash amount equal to the value of those shares (less any exercise price in the case of an option) can be paid.

An award can be granted on the basis that the participant will receive an additional amount on vesting based on the dividends paid on the number of shares in respect of which the award vests or is exercised. This may be paid in cash or additional shares.

8. Retention period: Awards can be granted on the basis that some or all of the shares in respect of which it vests (net of any shares sold to cover tax liabilities on vesting) must be held for a further period. In the case of executive directors, awards will normally be subject to a holding period of 5 years from grant. In limited circumstances such as death the retention period can expire early.

  • 9. Malus and claw back: The Board can reduce (including to zero) or delay the vesting of awards or reduce the shares subject to a holding period in certain circumstances, such as in the event of a material performance failure or a material misstatement of the accounts. The Board may also require repayment of shares (or cash) for a period of two years after vesting in certain circumstances such as misconduct misleading data, material misstatement of accounts, serious reputational damage and corporate failure, material breach of any law, regulation or code of practice.
  • 10. Leaving employment: If a participant leaves employment prior to vesting, their award will normally lapse and any shares will be forfeited. But if the participant leaves (after 12 months from grant (except in the case of DBA Awards)) for reasons such as: disability, ill-health or injury, death, or in other circumstances if the Committee allows, their award will continue in effect and vest on the original vesting date. Alternatively, if the Board so decides, the award will vest, or the shares will be released, on leaving. An award will normally only vest on or after leaving to the extent of any underpin or if relevant any performance condition is satisfied at the date of vesting and unless the Board decides otherwise, the number of shares in respect of which it vests will be reduced to reflect the fact that they left early.
  • 11. Takovers, reorganisations: Awards will generally vest early on a takeover, merger or other corporate event. Alternatively, participants may be allowed or required to exchange their awards for awards over shares in the acquiring company. Where an award vests in these circumstances, any underpin or performance condition will be tested to the date of vesting and, unless the Board decides otherwise, the number of shares in respect of which it vests will be reduced to reflect the fact that it is vesting early.
  • 12. Plan limits: In any 10-year period, not more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company may be issued or be issuable under the Executive Share Plan and any other employee share plans operated by the Company. In addition, the Executive Share Plan includes a further limit whereby in any 10-year period, not more than 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company may be issued or be issuable under award under all discretionary share award plans adopted by the Company that it is determined will apply in due course.

These limits do not include awards which have lapsed but will include awards satisfied with treasury shares as if they were newly issued shares so long as required by applicable institutional investor guidance.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, from time to time the Shareholders' Meeting will approve the maximum number of shares that may be assigned each relevant period under the Executive Share Plan (including the relevant sub-limit for executive directors).

  • 13. Delegation of powers: Without prejudice, and within the framework of, the main terms approved by the Shareholders' Meeting above, to delegate to the Board of Directors, with express powers of sub-delegation (in particular, but not limited to, to the Remuneration Committee) on the broadest terms, so that it may implement, develop, formalize and execute, at such time and in the manner it deems appropriate, the IAG Executive Share Plan 2021, adopting all such resolutions and signing all such documents, public or private, as may be necessary or advisable to ensure the full effectiveness and the successful implementation and operation of the Executive Share Plan, always respecting the main terms approved by the Shareholders' Meeting above, including, without limitation, the following powers:

    • c) To draft, sign and submit all such supplementary documentation and communications as may be necessary or appropriate to any public or private body or to the participants or any other party for the purposes of the implementation and execution of the Executive Share Plan, for the grant of the awards and delivery of the shares, including, where necessary, the corresponding prior communications and prospectuses.
    • d) To perform any step or formality or make any declaration before any body, entity or registry, public or private, in order to obtain any authorisation or verification required for the grant of the awards and the delivery of the shares.
    • e) To negotiate, agree on and execute counterparty and liquidity contracts with the financial institutions it freely determines, on the terms and conditions it deems appropriate, for the purposes of covering the Executive Share Plan.
  • f) To adapt in accordance with, and always respecting, the principal terms approved by the Shareholders' Meeting above, the content of the Executive Share Plan to the corporate transactions or circumstances that may arise during its validity, on the terms it deems appropriate and, to the extent that the legal regime applicable to some of the participants so requires or advises, or it is necessary for legal, regulatory, operating or analogous reasons, to adapt the generally established conditions, including to establish further plans based on the Executive Share Plan but modified to take account of local tax, exchange controls or securities laws territories, provided that any new issue or treasury shares made available under such further plan are treated as counting against the plan limits in the Executive Share Plan.
  • g) To draft and publish all such notices as may be necessary or appropriate.
  • h) To draft, sign, execute and, as required, certify any type of document relating to the Executive Share Plan.
  • i) And, in general, to perform all such steps and execute all such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure the full validity and effectiveness of the establishment, implementation, operation, execution, settlement and successful outcome of the Executive Share Plan and of the resolutions previously adopted."

Otherwise, the proxy shall be deemed not to have been granted for the meeting upon the call for which the aforementioned deadline is not complied with.

  • 4. The Board of Directors has the power to further elaborate upon the foregoing provisions by establishing rules, means and procedures adjusted to current techniques in order to organise the grant of proxies by electronic means, in accordance with the rules and regulations issued for such purpose, if any. Specifically, the Board of Directors may (i) establish rules for the use of mechanisms other than electronic signatures for the granting of proxies by electronic correspondence, and (ii) reduce the advance period established above for receipt by the Company of proxies granted by postal or electronic correspondence.

  • 9. If the proxy has been validly granted pursuant to the applicable law and these Shareholders' Meeting Regulations but does not include voting instructions, it shall be deemed that the proxy (i) is granted in favour of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) refers to all of the items included in the agenda for the Shareholders' Meeting, (iii) contains the instruction to vote favourably on all proposals made by the Board of Directors and (iv) also extends to matters that may be raised outside of the agenda, in respect of which the proxy-holder shall cast his vote in the direction he deems most favourable to the interests of the shareholder granting the proxy.
  • 10. Unless otherwise indicated by the shareholder granting the proxy, in the event that the proxy-holder is subject to a conflict of interest, it shall be deemed that the shareholder granting the proxy has also appointed as proxy-holders, jointly and severally and successively, the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting and, if such Chairman is also subject to a conflict of interest, the Company Secretary for the Shareholders' Meeting and, if such Company Secretary is subject to a conflict of interest as well, the Company Deputy Secretary, if any.""

4.- Scope of authorisation.- This authorisation extends as broadly as is required under law, to the establishment of the various terms and conditions of each issuance. By way of example and not of limitation, the Board of Directors shall be authorised to do the following with respect to each issuance: determine the amount thereof, always within the aforementioned overall quantitative limit; the place of issuance (in Spain or abroad); the domestic or foreign currency, and in the case of a foreign currency, its equivalence in euros; the name or form of the securities, whether they be bonds or debentures, including subordinated debentures, warrants (which may in turn be settled by means of the physical delivery of the shares or, if applicable, through the payment of differences in price), or any other name or form permitted by law; the date or dates of issuance; the number of securities and the par value thereof, which, in the case of convertible and/or exchangeable bonds or debentures, shall not be less than the par value of the shares; in the case of warrants and similar securities, the issue price and/or premium, the exercise price (which may be fixed or variable) and the procedure, period and other terms and conditions applicable to the exercise of the right to subscribe for the underlying shares or, if applicable, the exclusion of such right; the interest rate (whether fixed or variable), and the dates and procedures for payment of the coupon; whether the issuance is perpetual or subject to repayment and, in the latter case, the repayment period and the maturity date or dates; guarantees, reimbursement rate, premiums and lots; the form of representation, as securities or book entries; antidilution provisions; the rules applicable to subscription; the rank of the securities and the subordination clauses, if any; the law applicable to the issuance; the power to make application, where appropriate, for the listing of the securities to be issued on Spanish or foreign, official or unofficial, organised or other secondary markets, subject to the requirements established by applicable regulations in each case; and, in general, any other terms of the issuance as well as, if applicable, the appointment of the securityholders' syndicate representative (comisario) and the approval of the basic rules that are to govern the legal relationships between the Company and the syndicate of holders of the securities to be issued, in the event that such syndicate must or is decided to be created.

5.- Basis for and terms and conditions applicable to the conversion and/or exchange.- In the case of issuance of convertible and/or exchangeable debentures or bonds, and for purposes of determining the basis for and terms and conditions applicable to the conversion and/or exchange, it is resolved to establish the following criteria:

  • a) The securities issued pursuant to this resolution shall be convertible into shares of the Company and/or exchangeable into shares of the Company, in accordance with a fixed or variable conversion and/or exchange ratio determined or to be determined, with the Board of Directors being authorised to decide whether they are convertible and/or exchangeable, as well as to determine whether they are mandatorily or voluntarily convertible and/or exchangeable, and if voluntarily, at the option of the holder thereof and/or of the Company, at the intervals and during the period established in the resolution providing for the issuance.
  • b) In the event that the issuance is convertible and exchangeable, the Board may also provide that the issuer reserves the right at any time to elect between conversion into new shares or the exchange thereof for outstanding shares of the Company, with the nature of the shares to be delivered being determined at the time of conversion or exchange, and may also elect to deliver a combination of newly-issued shares and existing shares of the Company and even to settle the difference in cash.
  • c) For purposes of the conversion and/or exchange, the securities shall be valued at the nominal amount thereof (including, should it be the case, accrued and not paid interests), and the shares at the fixed exchange ratio established in the resolution of the Board of Directors whereby this authorisation is exercised, or at a variable ratio to be determined on the date or dates specified in such resolution of the Board, based on the listing price of the Company's shares on the date(s) or during the period(s) used as a reference in such resolution, at a premium or at a discount, provided, however, that if a discount is established on the price per share, it shall not be greater than 25 per cent of the value of the shares used as a reference value as set forth above.
  • d) In no event may the value of the share for purposes of the ratio for conversion of debentures into shares be less than the par value thereof. In addition, pursuant to the provisions of Article 415 of the Companies Law, debentures may not be converted into shares when the nominal value of the former is less than the par value of the latter.

6.- Basis and terms and conditions for the exercise of warrants.- In the case of issuances of warrants, to which the provisions of the Companies Law on convertible debentures shall apply by analogy, the Board of Directors is authorised to determine, in the broadest terms, in connection with the basis for and terms and conditions applicable to the exercise of such warrants, the criteria applicable to the exercise of rights to subscribe for or of rights to acquire shares of the Company arising from the securities of this kind issued under the delegation granted hereby. The criteria set forth in section 5 above shall apply to such issuances, with such adjustments as may be necessary in order to bring them into compliance with the legal and financial rules governing these kinds of securities.

7.- Other powers delegated.- This authorisation to the Board of Directors also includes, without limitation, the delegation thereto of the following powers:

  • a) The power to increase the share capital to the extent required to attend requests for conversion and/or for exercise of the right to subscribe for new shares. These powers may only be exercised so long as the capital increase the Board of Directors approves for the issue of convertible securities or warrants does not exceed the unused limit authorised in each moment by the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with Article 297.1.b) of the Companies Law. This authorisation to increase the share capital includes the authorisation to issue and float, on one or more occasions, the shares representing such capital that are necessary to carry out the conversion and/or to exercise the right to subscribe for new shares, as well as the power to amend the article of the bylaws relating to the amount of the share capital and the number of shares and, if appropriate, to cancel the portion of such capital increase that was not required for the conversion of shares and/or the exercise of the right to subscribe for new shares.
  • b) The power to elaborate on and specify the basis for and terms and conditions applicable to the conversion, exchange and/or exercise of the rights to subscribe for and/or acquire shares arising from the securities to be issued, taking into account the criteria set out in sections 5 and 6 above.
  • c) The delegation to the Board of Directors includes the broadest powers that may be required by law in order to interpret, apply, implement and develop the resolutions providing for the issuance of securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Company, on one or more occasions, and to carry out the corresponding capital increase, as well as the power to correct and supplement such resolutions as to all matters that may be necessary and to comply with all legal requirements for the successful implementation thereof. To such end, the Board of Directors may correct any omissions or defects in the aforementioned resolutions that may be identified by any Spanish or foreign authorities, officers or bodies, and may also adopt all such resolutions and execute all such public or private documents as it may deem necessary or appropriate in order to adjust the preceding resolutions for the issuance of convertible or exchangeable securities and the corresponding capital increase to the oral or written assessment of the Commercial Registrar or, in general, of any other Spanish or foreign competent authorities, officers or entities.

8.- Admission to trading.- The Company shall, where appropriate, apply for listing on regulated markets, multilateral trading systems or other secondary markets, organised or otherwise, official or unofficial, Spanish or foreign of the securities issued by the Company under this delegation, and the Board of Directors is authorised, as fully as is required by law, to conduct all acts and formalities that may be necessary for admission to listing before the appropriate authorities of the various Spanish or foreign securities markets.

The Board of Directors is expressly authorised to sub-delegate the powers delegated thereto under this resolution, as permitted by Article 249 bis l) of the Companies Law."
