(3)	The Participant received a grant of PRUs which vested based on the Issuer's achievement of two equally weighted metrices: target total shareholder return (TSR) and target bookings growth and non-GAAP operating margin performance (BGOM), over a performance period of three years. The potential payout ranged from 0% to 200% and the final determination was certified by the Issuer's Compensation and Leadership Development Committee. The initial award of 390,478 shares of PRUs was granted on May 10, 2023, the performance period ended on April 3, 2026 and the performance criteria was subsequently determined to have been met at 178% of the target, resulting in the vesting of 695,051 PRU shares.
