鶹app—Incentive Plans

鶹app grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, “Awards”). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the GDFV of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Pursuant to the 鶹app 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), the Company may grant Awards in respect of approximately 21.3 million shares of Series A, Series B and Series C 鶹app common stock plus the shares remaining available for Awards under the prior 鶹app 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), as of close of business on May 24, 2022, the effective date of the 2022 Plan. Any forfeited shares from the 2017 Plan shall also be available again under the 2022 Plan. Awards generally vest over 1-5 years and have a term of 7-10 years. 鶹app issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards.

In connection with the Formula One Distribution, for 鶹app employees, directors, and Formula 1 employees, the number of shares subject to stock options of Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock as well as the corresponding exercise price were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock options and the ratio of the exercise price to the Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock market price pre-ex-dividend date.

In connection with the Reclassification, and with respect to 鶹app employees and directors, each holder of an outstanding option award to purchase shares of Series C common stock of 鶹app SiriusXM or 鶹app Formula One received a new option award to purchase shares of Series C common stock of 鶹app SiriusXM or 鶹app Formula One, respectively, along with new option awards to purchase Series C 鶹app Live common stock with appropriate adjustments being made to determine the number of shares and applicable exercise price subject to each such award after giving effect to the Reclassification. These adjustments were designed to preserve the intrinsic value and the ratio of the exercise price to market price associated with each original Series C common stock of 鶹app SiriusXM or 鶹app Formula One option award prior to the Reclassification.

In connection with the Reclassification, and with respect to Formula 1 employees, each holder of an outstanding option award to purchase shares of Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock received a new option award to purchase shares of Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock with appropriate adjustments being made to determine the number of shares and applicable exercise price subject to each such award after giving effect to the Reclassification. These

adjustments were designed to preserve the intrinsic value and the ratio of the exercise price to market price associated with each original Series C 鶹app Formula One common stock option award prior to the Reclassification.

(1) Mainly vests between one and three years for employees and in one year for directors.
(2) Grant made in March 2023 cliff vested in December 2023. Grants made in March 2022 cliff vested in December 2022. Grant made in March 2021 cliff vested in December 2021. See discussion in note 13 regarding the compensation agreement with the Company’s CEO.
(3) Grants made in 2023, 2022 and 2021 vested in equal quarterly installments over one year.

In addition to the stock option grants to the CEO, and in connection with his employment agreement, the Company granted PRSUs. During the years ended December31, 2023 and 2021, the Company granted 81 thousand and 65 thousand PRSUs of SeriesC common stock of 鶹app Formula One, respectively, and 31 thousand PRSUs of Series C common stock of 鶹app Braves during each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021 to the CEO. Such PRSUs had a GDFV of $75.12 per share and $45.88 per share, respectively, and $34.44 per share and $31.24 per share, respectively, and cliff vest one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives and based on an amount determined by the compensation committee. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is re-measured at each reporting period.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of SeriesA or SeriesB 鶹app SiriusXM, 鶹app Formula One, 鶹app Live or 鶹app Braves common stock during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For grants made

in 2023, 2022 and 2021, the range of expected terms was 5.3 to 5.6 years. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of 鶹app’s stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded 鶹app options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.
