The shares granted with performance conditions are dependent on the performance indicators below: • current operating margin (current operating income • divided by consolidated sales); shareholder return (variation in the share price over the • period plus dividends compared with the average performance of companies belonging to the same index as Neopost). For the free shares allocated before July 2016, the vesting period is three years divided in two blocks of 50% each: the first block is delivered at the end of the second year and the second block at the end of the third year. Since July 2016 attribution, the vesting period is three years in one block. Free share attributions made before 2016 are submitted to a lock-up period, starting at the delivery date, of two years for French tax resident beneficiaries. growth in consolidated sales;

attracting and retaining high potential employees; • acknowledging exceptional performance; • fostering strong motivation and commitment to the • Company’s performance by granting specific free share plans based on the Group’s future results. The fair value of the shares thus granted is calculated based on the share price on the allocation date from which anticipated dividend are deducted. The overall expense was calculated by estimating a number of shares whose ownership will be transferred corresponding to a percentage of the maximum attributable amount. This assumption is considered the most likely on the date of allocation. This expense is spread out over the vesting period. The number of shares is adjusted at each closing date and the expense is revaluated consequently to ensure that the period expense corresponds to the number of shares effectively attributed.
