Context

• RSUs are a form of equity award that represent a contingent right to receive ordinary shares upon vesting; they are not an immediate purchase or sale. The grant itself does not indicate an immediate cash transaction or a market sale; value realized will depend on NIQ’s share price at each vesting date. Such awards are common for executives as part of compensation packages.
