PERNOD-RICARD - URD 2020-21

____ 2. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMPENSATION POLICY

The number of performance shares that will ultimately be granted will be determined based on the ratios of achievement of the Group’s profit from recurring operations, adjusted for currency effects and changes in the scope of consolidation as compared with the Group’s budgeted profit from recurring operations over three consecutive financial years (FY21, FY22 and FY23). The number of performance shares is determined according to the following conditions: if the average level of achievement is 0.95 or below: no performance shares will vest; if the average level of achievement is between 0.95 and 1: the number of performance shares that vest is determined by applying the percentage of linear progression between 0 and 100%; and if the average level of achievement is 1 or more: 100% of the performance shares will vest. Performance shares allocated to all beneficiaries have a four-year vesting period, without a lock-in period. In addition, beneficiaries must still be part of the Group on the vesting date, except in the case of retirement, death or invalidity.

ALLOCATION OF PERFORMANCE-BASED SHARES WITH AN EXTERNAL PERFORMANCE CONDITION

At its meeting of 27 November 2020, the Board of Directors granted 7,689 performance shares with an external performance condition (excluding shares related to the supplementary pension scheme). All of the performance shares under the plan are subject to internal and external performance conditions and will vest from November 2024 based on the positioning of the overall performance of Pernod Ricard share compared to the overall performance of a Panel of 12 comparable companies (see above). This external condition will be assessed over a period of three years following the allocation of the plan, i.e. from 27 November 2020 to 27 November 2023 inclusive. The final volumes will be determined at the end of the external condition evaluation period in accordance with subsection “Allocation of stock options”. ALLOCATION OF PERFORMANCE-BASED SHARES WITH INTERNAL CONDITION A total of 262,530 performance shares (excluding shares related to the supplementary pension scheme) were awarded by the Board of Directors at its meeting of 27 November 2020, all subject to the internal performance condition described below.
