performance below 90%: no vesting of shares allocated out of the V annual tranche; performance equal to 90%: 80% of the shares of the annual V tranche shallvest; performance equal to 100%: 100% of the shares of the annual V tranche shallvest; performance greater than or equal to 120%: 110% of the shares V of the annual tranche shallvest. The ratio varies in a linear manner between each performance category. CSR objectivesare based on the change in Natixis’ CSR performance over the four-year vesting period as assessedby the three CSR rating agencies. The vesting process includes a rating scale corresponding to the CSR assessments of each agency, with requirements becomingmore stringent over the lasttwo years. At the end of the four years, the average of the overall annual ratings shall determine the percentage of shares that vest in addition to those vesting under the TSR criteria. In the event that TSR and CSR performance is substantially above target, the percentage of shares of the annualtranche that shallvest is capped at120%. 30% of the shares issued to the executive corporate officer at the end of the vesting period will be subject to a lock-in period ending upon the terminationof his office.
