Executive Incentive Plans | Executive Incentive Plans Executive Bonus Plan For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the incentive compensation, including cash payments, election to receive shares of fully vested Class B common stock, and deferred compensation to plan participants, recognized under the amended and restated Bentley Systems, Incorporated Bonus Pool Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) (net of all applicable holdbacks) was $1,460 and $5,081, respectively, and $14,858 and $17,326 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As part of Gregory S. Bentley’s transition to the role of Executive Chair of the Board of Directors effective July 1, 2024, on June 26, 2024, the Sustainability Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved Amendment No. 2 to the Bonus Plan pursuant to which (in addition to other conforming changes) Mr. Bentley’s fractional interest under the Bonus Pool Plan was reduced from 12/33 to 4/33 effective July 1, 2024. Career Stock Program In connection with Nicholas H. Cumins’ transition to the role of Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2024, on June 26, 2024, the Committee adopted a compensatory program (the “Career Stock Program”) pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awards under the Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). As of the date of adoption, Mr. Cumins is the sole participant in the Career Stock Program. Under the Career Stock Program, the Committee may from time to time grant RSU awards to program participants, the amount of which is to be determined based upon the Company’s Adjusted operating income inclusive of stock-based compensation expense (“Adjusted OI w/SBC”) growth in the year preceding the date of grant (the “Performance Year”), specifically, an amount equal to 10 percent of the difference between realized Adjusted OI w/SBC growth during the Performance Year and an inflation-adjusted target growth level for such Performance Year. Any such awards, if made, would thereafter cliff vest five years following the end of the Performance Year and would otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Plan. As of September 30, 2024, the Committee has not yet made any awards to Mr. Cumins with respect to the Career Stock Program.

- Definition The entire disclosure for compensation costs, including compensated absences accruals, compensated absences liability, deferred compensation arrangements and income statement compensation items. Deferred compensation arrangements may include a description of an arrangement with an individual employee, which is generally an employment contract between the entity and a selected officer or key employee containing a promise by the employer to pay certain amounts at designated future dates, usually including a period after retirement, upon compliance with stipulated requirements. This type of arrangement is distinguished from broader based employee benefit plans as it is usually tailored to the employee. Disclosure also typically includes the amount of related compensation expense recognized during the reporting period, the number of shares (units) issued during the period under such arrangements, and the carrying amount as of the balance sheet date of the related liability. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/disclosureRef -Topic 710 -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org/710/tableOfContent Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/disclosureRef -Topic 710 -SubTopic 10 -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org/1943274/2147482969/710-10-50-1 + Details
