Share-based Payments

Share-based Payments
Share-based payments include stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Expense for stock options and time-based RSUs is
recognized based on the grant date fair value of these awards. Performance-based RSUs to executives are treated as liability awards
and the related expense is recognized based on reporting date fair value up until settlement date.
Share-based Payment Expense
The Group's share-based payment expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, was $8,222, $22,850, and
$4,415, respectively. The following table provides the classification of the Group’s consolidated share-based payment expense as
reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income/(Loss):

The Performance Share Plan
In June 2015, the Group adopted the Performance Stock Plan (the “2015 PSP”). Under the 2015 PSP and subsequent amendments,
awards of ordinary shares may be made to the Directors, senior managers and employees, and other individuals providing services
to the Group up to a maximum authorized amount of 10% of the total ordinary shares outstanding.
In June 2023, the Group adopted a new Performance Stock Plan (the "2023 PSP") that has the same terms as the 2015 PSP but
instituted for all new awards a limit of 10% of the total ordinary shares outstanding over a five-year period.
The awards granted under these plans have various vesting terms over a period of service between one and four years, provided the
recipient remains continuously engaged as a service provider. The options awards expire 10 years from the grant date.
The share-based awards granted under these plans are generally equity-settled (see cash settlements below). As of December 31,
2025, the Group has issued 32,199,101 units of share-based awards under these plans.

*For liability awards - based on fair value at reporting date or settlement date.
Each RSU entitles the holder to one ordinary share on vesting and the RSU awards are generally based on a vesting schedule over a
one to three-year requisite service period in which the Group recognizes compensation expense for the RSUs. Following vesting,
each recipient will be required to make a payment of one pence per ordinary share on settlement of the RSUs.
RSUs granted to the non-executive directors and employees are time-based and equity-settled. The grant date fair value on such
RSUs is recognized over the vesting term.

Share-based Payments continued
RSUs granted to executives are performance-based and vesting of such RSUs is subject to the satisfaction of both performance and
market conditions. The performance condition is based on the achievement of the Group's strategic targets. The market conditions
are based on the achievement of the absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”), TSR as compared to the FTSE 250 Index, and TSR as
compared to the MSCI Europe Health Care Index. The RSU award performance criteria have changed over time as the criteria are
continually evaluated by the Group’s Remuneration Committee.
The Group recognizes the estimated fair value of performance-based awards with non-market conditions as share-based compensation
expense over the performance period based upon its determination of whether it is probable that the performance targets will be
achieved. The Group assesses the probability of achieving the performance targets at each reporting period. Cumulative adjustments,
if any, are recorded to reflect subsequent changes in the estimated outcome of performance-related conditions.
The fair value of the performance-based awards with market conditions is based on the Monte Carlo simulation analysis utilizing
a Geometric Brownian Motion process with 100,000 simulations to value those shares. The model considers share price volatility,
risk-free rate and other covariance of comparable public companies and other market data to predict distribution of relative
share performance.
The RSUs to executives are treated as liability awards as the Group has a historical practice of settling these awards in cash, and as
such adjusted to fair value at every reporting date until settlement with changes in fair value recorded in earnings as share-based
compensation expense.
The Group recorded $5,713, $4,388, and $827, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 in respect of all
restricted stock units, of which $1,127, $909, and $402, respectively, were in respect of liability settled share-based awards.
As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the RSU liability awards was $3,044 with $1,827 current and $1,217 non-current, out
of which $1,827 related to awards that have met all their performance and market conditions and were settled in March 2026. As of
December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the RSU liability awards was $3,736 with $1,875 current and $1,861 non-current, out of
which $1,875 related to awards that met all their performance and market conditions and were settled in February 2025.

The fair value of the stock options awarded by the Group was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation
model, considering the terms and conditions upon which options were granted, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

These assumptions resulted in an estimated weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of stock options granted during the
years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 of $0.80, $1.18 and $1.37, respectively.

Subsidiary Plans
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the subsidiaries incurred share-based payment expense of $758, $17,372
and $277, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Gallop recognized share-based payment expense of $758. The share-based payment
expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 is related to 6,309,087 shares of restricted stock issued to Gallop executives under
the Gallop 2025 Stock Option and Grant Plan  (the “Gallop Plan”) approved by the Gallop Board of Directors in September 2025.
These awards vest over 25 months and have weighted average grant date fair value of $0.46. As of December 31, 2025, all of these
awards were unvested and outstanding.
The share-based payment expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily related to awards granted under the Seaport
2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Seaport Plan") approved by the Seaport Board of Directors in 2024. Seaport was deconsolidated from
the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements as of October 18, 2024. See Note 8. Gain/(loss) on Deconsolidation of Subsidiary.
The options granted under the Seaport Plan are equity settled and expire 10 years from the grant date. Typically, the awards vest in
four years but vesting conditions can vary based on the discretion of Seaport’s Board of Directors. The estimated grant date fair
value of the equity awards is recognized as an expense over the awards’ vesting periods. See tables below for Seaport option-
related activities.
Before its deconsolidation on October 18, 2024, Seaport granted 7,200,000 shares of restricted stock awards and restricted stock
units to certain officers and directors, of which 6,227,778 shares were fully vested as of the deconsolidation date. The fair value of
these awards was measured on the date of grant at the estimated fair value of the Seaport common stock using the market
backsolve and probability adjusted expected return model. See Note 19. Financial Instruments. The weighted average fair value of
these awards was $0.97. As the substantial majority of these awards were fully vested as of the deconsolidation date, the stock-
based compensation expense for these awards was recognized in the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income/
(Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Seaport also granted options to its employees, officers and directors in 2024. The fair value of the stock options awarded by Seaport
was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The weighted average fair value of these awards
was $0.92 and the weighted average exercise prices for the options was $1.28.
