Total Compensation Approach. Pay and rewards are considered in their totality.

more senior the role; use a mix of metrics; and motivate executives to have an ownership mindset and to align with shareholder interests by providing them the opportunity to own Company stock.

In 2024 and earlier years, the Company prepared consolidated audited financial statements solely under IFRS and euros. As
such, the metrics used to set the 2024 EPA targets are based on the Company’s 2024 EPA Adjusted EBITDA and EPA Adjusted Free Cash Flow prepared under IFRS and presented in euros (as set forth in the following EPA table).
|
(2)
|
EPA Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income / (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures,
net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation, amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions that do not
qualify for hedge accounting, metal price lag, share-based compensation expense, non-operating gains / (losses) on pension and other post-employment benefits, expenses on factoring arrangements, effects of certain purchase accounting
adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items, and as may be further adjusted by the Company on an
annual basis to remove the impact of certain one-off or non-recurring events.
|
(3)
|
EPA Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures, net of property,
plant and equipment inflows excluding factoring impacts and may be further adjusted by the Company on an annual basis to remove the impact of certain one-off or non-recurring events.
|
(4)
|
The adjustments taken for EPA Adjusted EBITDA and EPA Adjusted Free Cash Flow are reviewed and approved by the Human Resources
Committee. In fiscal year 2024 no additional adjustments were made.

Cash severance amounts exclude potential additional payments in respect of restrictive covenant
agreements, as described above for Messrs. Guo and Jurkovic and Ms. Joerg.
|
(2)
|
PSU calculations, in each case, assume target performance. As described above, upon a
termination following a change in control, PSU payouts are based on the greater of target or actual performance as of the change in control, and upon a termination due to permanent disability, PSU payouts will be based on actual
performance at the end of the vesting period.
|
(3)
|
Continued health payment represents 6 months of COBRA coverage for Mr. Guo if health care
continuation coverage is elected. For Mr. Jurkovic continued health includes 6 months of medical, dental and vision care at Constellium’s expense.
