(1) Concerns French employees, who are, in addition, subject to a two-year lock-in period.
(2) The Sapient Plan 2016 consists of two different plans. One plan is conditional only upon continued employment and gives rise to the delivery of one-quarter of the shares awarded on the dates of the first four anniversaries of the plan (i.e. in April 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020). The second plan, in addition to the condition of continued employment, was subject to performance criteria, such that the total number of shares delivered depended on the level of achievement of targets in respect of 2016, 2017 and 2018. The shares ultimately awarded based on the level of achievement of these performance targets were delivered at the end of a three-year period, i.e. in April 2019.
(3) The Sapient Plan 2017 consists of two different plans. One plan is conditional upon continued employment only and gives rise to the delivery of one-quarter of the shares awarded on the dates of the first four anniversaries of the plan (i.e. in June 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021). In addition to the condition of continued employment, the second plan is conditional upon performance criteria, such that the total number of shares delivered shall depend on the level of targets attained in respect of 2017, 2018 and 2019. The shares ultimately awarded in accordance with the level of achievement of these performance targets will be delivered at the end of a three-year period, i.e. in June 2020.
(4) The Sapient Plan 2018 consists of two different plans. One plan is conditional only upon continued employment and gives rise to the delivery of one-quarter of the shares awarded on the dates of the first four anniversaries of the plan (i.e. in April 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022). The second plan, in addition to the condition of continued employment, is subject to performance criteria, such that the total number of shares delivered shall depend on the level of achievement of targets in respect of 2018, 2019 and 2020. The shares ultimately awarded in accordance with the level of attainment of these performance targets will be deliverable at the end of a three- year period, i.e. in April 2021.
(5) The Sprint to the Future Plan is a one-off award of performance share covering the 2018-2020 period and offered to 20 key Groupe managers.
(6) The Special Plan is a retention plan conditional only upon continued employment and introduced for certain employees with a direct impact on growth.
(7) The Sapient Plan 2019 consists of two different plans. One plan is conditional upon continued employment only, and gives rise to the delivery of one-quarter of the shares awarded on the dates of the first four anniversaries of the plan (i.e. in May 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023). The second plan, in addition to the condition of continued employment, is subject to performance criteria, such that the total number of shares delivered shall depend on the level of achievement of targets in respect of 2019, 2020 and 2021. The shares ultimately awarded in accordance with the level of attainment of these performance targets will be deliverable at the end of a three-year period, i.e. in May 2022. (8) Awards consisting of replacements for awards made by the ADS Group in 2019 that had lapsed as a result of Epsilon’s acquisition by Publicis Groupe. The share awards are subject to continued employment (20%) and performance conditions (80%). Shares vest in tranches over the three years of the plan (i.e. in March 2020, 2021 and 2022).
(9) Retention plan offered to ten Groupe managers. The shares are subject to individualised performance conditions for 2020 to 2022.
