The rights attaching to the B Ordinary Shares provide the holders with value that is linked to the market capitalisation of Gresham House.

Subject to satisfying the conditions set out below, the B Ordinary Shareholders shall, in aggregate, be entitled to up to 2.88% of the shareholder value which, for the purposes of the plan, is:

- the market capitalisation of the Company as at the date of the exercise of the put option (described in further detail below), together with the aggregate value of any distribution and returns of capital to Shareholders from the date on which the B Ordinary Shares are issued to them (the "Date of Award") to the date of the exercise of the Put Option; less

- the market capitalisation of the Company on the date before the relevant Date of Award, plus the aggregate subscription price of all shares issued by Gresham House (excluding any shares issued in exchange for A Ordinary Shares or B Ordinary Shares) from the Date of Award to the date of the exercise of the Put Option.

B Ordinary Shareholders may sell their B Ordinary Shares to Gresham House by exercising a put option at any time between the second anniversary from their Date of Award and 31 December 2023, provided that the following conditions have been met:

- If the market capitalisation of Gresham House has reached or exceeded a value equivalent to 7% pa compound growth from the Date of Award to any time after the Second Anniversary of the relevant Date of Award (the "Hurdle Condition"), and the growth in the market capitalisation of Gresham House has been at least equal to the growth in the FTSE All Share Index (as measured from the Date of Award to the date of exercise of the put option, the "Performance Condition"), B Ordinary Shareholders may sell their B Ordinary Shares and receive their pro rata share of the shareholder value on the date that the put option is exercised;

- If the Hurdle Condition has been met, but the Performance Condition has not been met, B Ordinary Shareholders may sell their B Ordinary Shares and receive their pro rata share of 50% of the shareholder value on the date that the put option is exercised;

- If both the Hurdle Conditions and the Performance Condition have not been met or in the event that the Performance Condition has been met but the Hurdle Condition has not been met, the B Ordinary Shares will become worthless deferred shares or be bought back by Gresham House for no consideration.

The B Ordinary Shares also contain customary good leaver and bad leaver provisions as well as drag along and tag along rights that apply on a sale of GHHL or a takeover of Gresham House.
