A* 30% + B* 25% + C* 25% + [(D1 + D2 + D3)* 20%] = Average Vesting Rate (The Average Vesting Rate may not exceed 100%)

Depending on the achievement of internal and external conditions, as described above, the maximum applicable vesting multiplier is capped at 100%, with the understanding that: I. If the achievement rate for one of the internal financial ● performance conditions is nil; or II. If the achievement rate of the non-financial performance ● condition relating to Corporate Social Responsibility is nil, the maximum vesting amount would be capped at 90%. The targets for the financial performance conditions and non-financial performance conditions relating to “Environment, People and diversity” will be defined by the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, at least on the date of grant of the 2021 Long Term Incentive Plans foreseen shortly after the Annual General Meeting. Such targets will be challenging and in line with the market guidance and the strategic plan communicated to the market. The indicated objectives will be set by the Board of Directors on recommendation of the Remuneration Committee on at constant consolidation scope and exchange rate. The Board of Directors may make adjustments to neutralize the

consequences of any events such as changes in scope, accounting method or currency effects. At the end of the performance assessment period, Worldline will report on the level of satisfaction for each of the criteria.
