Fair values and key assumptions

The fair value of the 2022-2024 PSU awards used for accounting purposes was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of the 2022-2024 RSU awards was measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the present value of future distributions which the recipients will not receive during the vesting period.

The fair value of the PSUs and RSUs that were awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024, which is determined based on actuarial calculations that apply certain assumptions and take into consideration the specific characteristics of the awards granted, is summarized in the following table.
Equity Incentive Plan 2022-2024
