Schedule of Number of RSU Awards Granted by Award Type

The following table presents the number of RSU awards granted by award type:

(in thousands)	Nine months ended June 30, 2021
Performance-based RSUs⁽¹⁾		90
Service-based RSUs⁽²⁾		1,259
Total Shareholder Return RSUs⁽³⁾		90

(1)

The performance-based RSUs were granted to our executives and are eligible to vest based upon annual performance measures over a three-year period. To the extent earned, those performance-based RSUs will vest in three substantially equal installments on November 15, 2021, 2022 and 2023, or the date the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been achieved for each performance period. Up to a maximum of two times the number of RSUs can be earned (a maximum aggregate of 179,000 RSUs).

(2)	The service-based RSUs were granted to employees, including our executive officers. Substantially all service-based RSUs will vest in three substantially equal annual installments on or about the anniversary of the date of grant.

(3)

The Total Shareholder Return RSUs (TSR RSUs) were granted to our executives and are eligible to vest based on the performance of PTC stock relative to the stock performance of an index of PTC peer companies established as of the grant date, as determined at the end of three measurement periods ending on September 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The RSUs earned for each period will vest on November 15, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Up to a maximum of two times the number of TSR RSUs eligible to be earned for the period (up to a maximum aggregate of 179,000 RSUs) may vest. If the return to PTC shareholders is negative for a period but still meets or exceeds the peer group indexed return, a maximum of 100% of the eligible TSR RSUs may vest for the measurement period.
