In connection with Jill Griebenow’s previously reported appointment to the role of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Chief Accounting Officer of Cboe Global Markets, Inc.

For 2023, this will include awards with a value of $325,000 that were previously granted on February 19, 2023 and special awards with a value of $587,500 (representing a pro rata portion of the increase in the targeted annual equity incentive award for the remainder of 2023) to be granted on August 19, 2023 and to be equally split between (i) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that will vest in three equal annual installments on February 19, 2024, February 19, 2025, and February 19, 2026 and (ii) performance share units subject to the achievement of (A) earnings per share and (B) total shareholder return (each 25% of the total award) that will vest at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, each subject to Ms. Griebenow’s continuous employment with the Company through such dates.
