SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION NOTE 16 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 401,662 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
("PSUs") to selected employees of the Group. The fair value of PSU awards with performance and service conditions is
estimated using the value of Constellium SE’s ordinary shares on the date of grant. The fair value of PSU awards with market
conditions is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.
These units vest if the following conditions are met:
A vesting condition under which the beneficiaries must be continuously at the service of the Company through the
end of a three-year vesting period; and
A performance condition, contingent on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance of Constellium SE
shares over the vesting period compared to the TSR of specified indices. PSUs will ultimately vest based on a
vesting multiplier which ranges from 0% to 200%.
The following table lists the inputs to the valuation model used for the PSUs granted during the six months ended June
30, 2026:

market price at grant date.
