Fair values and key assumptions

The fair value of the PSUs and RSUs that were awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan 2023-2025, 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 2023-2025
PSUs€236.30
RSUs€253.76
The fair value of the 2023-2025 PSU awards was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The fair value of the 2023-2025 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 key assumptions utilized to calculate the grant-date fair values of the PSUs that were awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan 2023-2025 are summarized below:
Equity Incentive Plan 2023-2025
Grant date share price€259.60
Expected volatility27.9%
Dividend yield0.75%
Risk-free rate2.90%
The expected volatility was based on the observed volatility of the defined peer group. The risk-free rate was based on the iBoxx sovereign Eurozone yield.

Broad-based employee share ownership plan

If the employee holds the shares for at least 36 months, the Company will grant them an additional tranche of shares worth up to 15 percent of the value of the first allocation.

Other share-based compensation

During 2022, the Company awarded 15,271 share awards, which each represent the right to receive one Ferrari common share, to certain employees, of which 6,643 share awards vested immediately at the grant date.

At December 31, 2023, 481 share awards remained outstanding and will vest in 2024, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting.
