Restricted Share Unit Awards

In March 2023, NCLH granted 5.8 million time-based restricted share unit awards to our employees, which primarily vest in substantially equal installments over three years. Additionally, in March 2023, NCLH granted 0.8 million performance-based restricted share units to certain members of our management team, which vest upon the achievement of certain pre-established performance targets established through 2025 and the satisfaction of an additional time-based vesting requirement that generally requires continued employment through March 1, 2026.

The following is a summary of restricted share unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
