(a) Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units

Precision has various cash-settled share-based incentive plans for officers and other eligible employees. Under the Restricted Share Unit (

RSU

) incentive plan, shares granted to eligible employees vest annually over a three-year term. Vested shares are automatically paid out in cash at a value determined by the fair market value of the shares at the vesting date. Under the Performance Share Unit (

PSU

) incentive plan, shares granted to eligible employees vest at the end of a three-year term. Vested shares are automatically paid out in cash in the first quarter following the vested term at a value determined by the fair market value of the shares at the vesting date and based on the number of performance shares held multiplied by a performance factor

that ranges from zero to two times. The performance factor is based on Precision’s share price performance compared to a peer group over the three-year period.

A summary of the RSUs and PSUs outstanding under these share-based incentive plans is presented below:


	RSUs Outstanding			PSUs Outstanding
December 31, 2019		316,904			166,768

December 31, 2021		598,156			983,734

(b) Executive Performance Share Units

Precision grants Executive PSUs to certain senior executives. Executive PSUs vest over a three-year period and incorporate performance criteria established at the date of grant that can adjust the number of performance share units available for settlement from zero to two times the amount originally granted.

A summary of the activity under this share-based incentive plan is presented below:


Executive Performance Share Units	Outstanding
December 31, 2019		368,845

in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 is an expense of $18 million (2020 – $15 million). Subsequent to December 31, 2021, Precision settled 131,950 vesting Executive PSUs in 263,900 common shares.

(c)

Non-Management

Directors

Precision has a deferred share unit (

DSU

) plan for

non-management

directors whereby fully vested DSUs are granted quarterly based on an election by the

non-management

director to receive all or a portion of his or her compensation in DSUs. These DSUs are redeemable in cash or for an equal number of common shares upon the director’s retirement. The redemption of DSUs in cash or common shares is solely at Precision’s discretion.

Non-management

directors can receive a lump sum payment or two separate payments any time up until December 15 of the year following retirement. If the

non-management

director does not specify a redemption date, the DSUs will be redeemed on a single date six months after retirement. The cash settlement amount is based on the weighted average trading price for Precision’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five days immediately prior to payout.

A summary of the DSUs outstanding under this share-based incentive plan is presented below:


Deferred Share Units	Outstanding
Balance December 31, 2019		89,613
Redeemed		(12,039	)
Balance December 31, 2020		77,574
Granted		27,017
Balance December 31, 2021		104,591

Equity Settled Plans

(d) Option Plan

Under this plan, the exercise price of each option equals the fair market value of the option at the date of grant determined by the weighted average trading price for the five days preceding the grant. The options are denominated in either Canadian or

U.S. dollars, and vest over a period of three years from the date of grant, as employees render continuous service to the Corporation, and have a term of seven years.
