For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was increased to take into consideration the effect of potential ordinary shares relating to equity awards granted by the Group, to the extent to which they are dilutive. Potential ordinary shares are assumed to be converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the period, except for new potential ordinary shares relating to awards granted during the period, which are considered to be converted from their grant date. The adjustments for the calculation of the weighted average number of shares for diluted earnings per share are further explained below. For additional information related to the Group’s equity incentive arrangements, see Note 20 — Share-based payments.
(1)Long-term incentive awards — Potential ordinary shares of the Company represented by performance share units (“PSUs”) and retention restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted to the Group’s senior management (the “Senior Management Team”) and other employees of the Group, which in the case of the PSUs are considered to be potential ordinary shares if the related performance conditions would have been met based on the Group’s performance up to the reporting date, and in the case of the RSUs are considered to be potential ordinary shares if the recipient was still employed by the Group at the reporting date.
(2)Former CEO share awards — Potential ordinary shares of the Company granted to the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Group (currently the Group Executive Chairman) in respect of his service up to December 31, 2025, arising from (i) PSUs granted to him, which are considered to be potential ordinary shares if the related performance conditions would have been met based on the Group’s performance up to the reporting date, and (ii) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 only, the exercise of share purchase rights for his 2024 fixed remuneration. This right was not subsequently exercised.
(3)Non-executive directors remuneration in shares — Potential ordinary shares of the Company granted to the non-executive directors for 50% of their annual base remuneration for services provided and which, under the related terms and conditions, will be delivered to the recipients in the second year subsequent to the year in which the services are provided.
