CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We refer to IBEX Limited as the "Company," "ibex," "us," "we," or "our" in this Proxy Statement.

Board of Directors

Our Bye-laws provide that our Board of Directors (the "Board") shall consist of no less than one and no more than ten directors, with such number to be determined at each annual general meeting. The size of our Board is currently set at eight directors. Our Board currently consists of the following directors:

Daniella Ballou-AaresJohn (Jack) Jones
Karen BatungbacalShuja Keen
Fiona BeckPatrick McGinnis
Robert DechantMingzhe (JJ) Zhuang

Our directors generally hold office for such terms as our shareholders may determine or, in the absence of such determination, until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated.

On December 4, 2025, the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Mohammed Khaishgi, notified the Company of his decision to withdraw as a nominee for election as a director at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting"). Mr. Khaishgi withdrew as a nominee for personal reasons and not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices. As a result of his decision not to stand for re-election, Mr. Khaishgi's service on the Board ended immediately after the 2025 Annual Meeting.

On December 19, 2025, in accordance with our Bye-laws, the Board unanimously appointed Mr. Shuja Keen to fill the vacancy on the Board. Mr. Keen previously served on the Company's Board from March 2018 through December 2024. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Keen and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Keen was appointed as a director of the Company.

Also on December 19, 2025, the Board appointed current director Mr. John Jones to serve as the Chairman of the Board. Since Mr. Jones is not considered independent under Nasdaq rules, the Board appointed Mr. Mingzhe (JJ) Zhuang to serve as Lead Independent Director, which further enhances the Board's governance structure.

All of the above appointments were made by the Board after careful consideration, following the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board (the "Nominating Committee"), for a term that lasts until the earlier of the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders or the appointee's resignation, death, or removal. Our Board currently consists of 37.5% female directors and 62.5% male directors, with 37.5% of our directors self-reporting as racially/ethnically diverse.

Director Independence

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors in light of the Nasdaq listing standards and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning such director’s background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board affirmatively determined that Mses. Ballou-Aares, Batungbacal, and Beck and Messrs. McGinnis and Zhuang are "independent directors" under the listing standards of Nasdaq. This represents five of our eight current directors and will represent five of our eight directors after the Annual Meeting. In making these determinations, our Board considered

1


the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with us and our affiliates, and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our share capital by each non-employee director, the transactions involving them, and other boards upon which they serve.

In addition, the Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the applicable independence requirements under the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and the Nasdaq listing standards for such members. Our Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee are also solely comprised of independent directors, in line with the Nasdaq listing standards.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a formal policy on whether the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") should be separate or combined. Mr. John Jones was appointed as the Chairman of the Board in December 2025. Mr. Jones has served as a Board member since March 2018. Based on his depth of industry experience and long-term involvement with the Company, the Board determined that Mr. Jones should serve as Chairman, maintaining responsibility for coordinating board activities, including the scheduling of meetings and executive sessions of the non-employee directors and managing the relevant agenda items in each case (in consultation with the CEO as appropriate). This structure also enables Mr. Robert Dechant, the CEO to focus on leading and managing the Company. As Mr. Jones is not an independent director, the Board appointed Mr. Mingzhe (JJ) Zhuang as Lead Independent Director ("LID").

The Chairman and the LID work together to support the effective functioning of the Board and its oversight of the Company. The Chairman leads the Board, presides at Board meetings and works with the LID to develop meeting agendas and identify matters for Board consideration. The Chairman also facilitates communication between the Board and management and helps ensure that directors receive the information needed to perform their responsibilities.

The LID provides independent leadership and serves as a point of coordination for the independent directors. In consultation with the Chairman, the LID reviews proposed agendas and meeting materials and may request that additional matters be included for discussion. The independent directors meet in executive sessions without management and non-independent directors present to discuss matters relating to Board oversight, management performance, corporate strategy and other matters they deem appropriate. The LID presides at executive sessions of the independent directors, facilitates discussion of matters raised in those sessions, communicates relevant feedback to the Chairman and, as appropriate, management, and facilitates follow-up as applicable.

Between meetings, the Chairman and the LID maintain an ongoing dialogue regarding Board priorities, meeting preparation and matters requiring the Board’s attention. This collaboration combines the Chairman’s leadership of the Board with the LID’s independent perspective, while preserving the ability of the independent directors to meet and deliberate independently.

Shareholder Engagement

The Board recognizes the importance of maintaining open communication with shareholders and considering their perspectives on corporate governance, executive compensation and the Company's long-term strategy. The Nominating Committee oversees the Company’s shareholder engagement.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regularly make themselves available to speak with shareholders. The Company also maintains active shareholder engagement with its largest shareholders to solicit inputs and feedback on a range of topics, including business strategy, governance practices and executive compensation, as well as other topics of importance to our shareholders. In addition, the Company seeks to participate in approximately one investor conference per quarter to meet with current shareholders and prospective investors.

2


The Company utilizes its earnings calls and investor presentations to address matters of interest to shareholders. Recent shareholder topics of interest include:

•Company’s artificial intelligence (“AI”) strategy;

•Potential AI opportunities and risks;

•Capital allocation strategy; and

•Governance priorities.

The Nominating Committee and, as appropriate, the Board and other committees consider feedback received through these investor communication channels in their ongoing review of governance, compensation, and strategic matters.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In accordance with Section 84 of the Companies Act and the Company's Bye-law 68, our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 will be presented at the Annual Meeting. These financial statements have been approved by our Board. There is no requirement under Bermuda law that these financial statements be approved by shareholders, and no such approval will be sought at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE

SET NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The current maximum number of directors was set at eight by the shareholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Bye-law 37 requires the maximum number of directors to be set by the shareholders at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, the Board proposes to set the maximum number of directors at eight at the Annual Meeting until the next annual general meeting. The Board has nominated eight directors for these positions, as further described below in Proposal Two.

Our Board recommends a vote FOR the proposal to set the maximum number of directors as eight.

PROPOSAL TWO

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board, the Board nominated eight directors for election at the Company’s Annual Meeting to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until their resignation, death, or removal.

With the exception of Mr. Keen, all directors were elected by shareholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Mr. Keen was appointed by the Board on December 19, 2025 to fill the vacancy of Mr. Mohammed Khaishgi, who withdrew as a nominee for election as a director at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

3


Director Nominations

In accordance with the Company's Procedures for Identifying and Evaluating Director Candidates adopted by the Board, the Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating the best available, qualified candidates for election to the Board. Following their evaluation, the Nominating Committee, acting through a majority, can recommend to the full Board a slate of director candidates to be nominated for election by the Company's shareholders on an annual basis. In the case of incumbent directors, the Nominating Committee reviews each director's overall service during his or her current term and any other factors that the Nominating Committee considers relevant, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any transactions between the director and the Company. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating Committee first determines whether the nominee would be independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, then identifies any special needs of the current Board. The Nominating Committee will consider individuals recommended by Board members, Company management, shareholders, and if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm.

The Board recognizes the value of cultivating a board with a broad mix of opinions, perspectives, skills, experiences and professional backgrounds. As such, the Board actively seeks director candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds, without discrimination based on any status protected by law. All nominations to the Board will be based on merit, experience and professional background relevant to the Board’s current and anticipated needs, as well as the Company’s business.

The Board believes that director candidates should meet and demonstrate the following minimum criteria:

•Character and integrity

•A commitment to the long-term growth and profitability of the Company

•A willingness and ability to make a sufficient time commitment to the affairs of the Company to effectively perform the duties of a director, including regular attendance at Board and committee meetings

•Significant business or public company experience relevant and beneficial to the Board and the Company

In addition to the minimum criteria described above, the following factors may also be considered in evaluating candidates for the Board:

•Present and anticipated needs of the Board for particular experience or expertise and whether the candidate would satisfy those needs

•Requirement for the Board to have a majority of independent directors and whether the candidate would be considered independent

•Whether the candidate would be considered an audit committee "financial expert" or be financially literate as described in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Audit Committee Charter

•Accomplishments of each candidate in his or her field and applicability to the Company’s business and industry

•Outstanding professional and personal reputation

•Relevant experience

•Ability to exercise sound business judgment

•Breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Company

The Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications of director candidates and incumbent directors in light of the criteria approved by Board, and any shareholder recommendations for director are evaluated in the same manner as other candidates considered by the Nominating Committee. Shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our Board should follow the procedures described under the "Submission of Shareholder Proposals for the 2027 Annual Meeting" heading.

Risk Oversight

Our Board is currently responsible for overseeing our risk management processes and the Company’s enterprise risk management framework. The Board focuses on our general risk management strategy and the most significant risks facing the Company. The Board is apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of corporate matters and significant transactions.

Given the increasing importance of AI to the Company's business strategy, the Board's risk oversight responsibilities include consideration of emerging risks associated with AI deployment, data privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance and responsible technology adoption. Management provides updates to the Board regarding these matters, including their potential implications for the Company's operations, customers and long-term strategy. The Board also receives quarterly updates from management on cybersecurity strategy, risk assessments, and significant developments. The Chief Technology Officer provides updates on cybersecurity matters to the Company’s Board to support the Board’s oversight of cybersecurity-related risks. The Board and executive management meet regularly to review cybersecurity risks and developments as part of our enterprise risk management framework. This structure had no effect on the Board's current leadership structure.

The Audit Committee is responsible for discussing guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken and handled, and to discuss with management major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing (on a monthly basis) any whistleblower complaints received, with follow-up and reporting to the full Board as appropriate. The Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring and assessing risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and consulting with management regarding such risks. Our Board committees are responsible for considering and addressing relevant risks as they perform their respective committee responsibilities. All committees are to report to the full Board as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise level risk.

Our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management and operational decision-making. This oversight includes identifying, evaluating, and addressing potential risks that may exist at the enterprise, strategic, financial, operational, compliance and reporting levels.

Director Nominations Process

As part of its ongoing oversight of Board composition, the Nominating Committee periodically evaluates the Board's collective skills, experience, independence, tenure and succession needs in light of the Company's evolving business strategy. This review includes consideration of emerging areas of expertise, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital transformation and global operations, to ensure the Board remains appropriately positioned to oversee the Company's long-term strategic objectives.

Director Nominations are made in accordance with the Company's Procedures for Identifying and Evaluating Director Candidates. The Nominating Committee of the Company’s Board is responsible for identifying and evaluating the best available, qualified candidates for election to the Board. Following their evaluation, the Nominating Committee, acting through a majority, can recommend to the full Board director candidates to be appointed to the Board from time to time, and a slate of director candidates to be nominated for election by the Company’s shareholders on an annual basis.

In the case of incumbent directors, the Nominating Committee reviews each director’s overall service during his or her current term and any other factors that the Nominating Committee considers relevant, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any transactions between the director and the Company. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating Committee first determines whether the nominee would be independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, then identifies any special needs of the current Board. The Nominating Committee will consider individuals recommended by Board members, Company management, shareholders, and if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm.

The Board may also consider candidates to fill a vacancy in the Board outside the annual shareholder meeting process in accordance with the Company’s Bye-laws. The same criteria shall be used to evaluate a director nominee as one to be elected by shareholders. In the event of a vacancy to be filled by the Board, the Nominating Committee, acting by majority, can recommend one or more candidates for election by the Board.

The Board recognizes the value of cultivating a board with a broad mix of opinions, perspectives, skills, experiences and backgrounds. As such, the Board actively seeks director candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds, without discrimination based on any status protected by law. All nominations to the Board will be based on merit, experience and background relevant to the Board’s current and anticipated needs, as well as the Company’s business.

The Board believes that director candidates should meet and demonstrate the following minimum criteria:

•Character and integrity

•A commitment to the long-term growth and profitability of the Company

•A willingness and ability to make a sufficient time commitment to the affairs of the Company to effectively perform the duties of a director, including regular attendance at Board and committee meetings

•Significant business or public experience relevant and beneficial to the Board and the Company

In addition to the minimum criteria described above, the following factors may also be considered in evaluating candidates for the Board:

•Present and anticipated needs of the Board for particular experience or expertise and whether the candidate would satisfy those needs

•Requirement for the Board to have a majority of independent directors and whether the candidate would be considered independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules

18


•Whether the candidate would be considered an audit committee “financial expert” or be financially literate as described in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Audit Committee Charter

•Accomplishments of each candidate in his or her field and applicability to the Company’s business and industry

•Outstanding professional and personal reputation

•Relevant experience

•Ability to exercise sound business judgment

•Breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Company

Annual Board and Director Evaluations

The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation process designed to assess its overall effectiveness, committee performance, Board composition, director engagement and the adequacy of its oversight responsibilities. The process is overseen by the Nominating Committee and Corporate Governance Committee and includes written confidential questionnaires and considers Board leadership, oversight, meeting effectiveness, information flow, and the Board’s relationship with management. The evaluation process provides directors with an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and recommend enhancements to Board composition and practices. The results are discussed with the full Board and considered in developing governance priorities for the following year.

Insider Trading; Prohibition of Hedging and Pledging

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities that applies to our directors, officers, employees and other covered persons. We believe that our securities trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and Nasdaq listing standards applicable to us. Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits employees (including officers) and directors from engaging in certain transactions related to our securities. In particular, we prohibit hedging and pledging transactions in our securities, including hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts; holding our securities in a margin account; pledging our securities as collateral for a loan; and puts, calls, or other derivative securities involving our securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market.

Communications with Directors

Shareholders may contact the Board by mailing correspondence “c/o Christy O’Connor” to the Company’s offices at 500 Penn Center Boulevard, Suite 302, Pittsburgh, PA 15235. Correspondence will be forwarded to the respective director, except that the Assistant Secretary reserves the right not to forward solicitations or any offensive or otherwise inappropriate materials.

19


Governance Documents

The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee, and Corporate Governance Committee each operate pursuant to written charters adopted by the Board. These charters, along with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, are available at the Company’s website and in print to any shareholder who requests a copy. To access these documents from the Company’s website, go to investors.ibex.co and select “Corporate Governance” from the drop-down menu. Requests for a printed copy should be addressed to Christy O’Connor, IBEX Limited, 500 Penn Center Boulevard, Suite 302, Pittsburgh, PA 15235.

Director Compensation

The Board has approved the non-employee director compensation program described below.

Cash Compensation. Each of the non-employee directors is eligible to receive a $75,000 annual cash retainer for their Board and committee service, with the exception of the Audit Committee Chair, who is eligible to receive a $90,000 cash retainer based on the extensive work of this position. The cash retainers are paid quarterly. In addition, the Company will reimburse non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred by them in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

In August 2026, the Nominating Committee determined and recommended to the Board that in order to retain the best directors for certain lead positions on the Board, fairly compensate Board members for their additional workload and responsibilities, and maintain a competitive director pay structure, the annual cash retainers for fiscal year 2027 should be increased for certain board positions. In September 2026, the Board approved the following annual retainers: Chairman of the Board: $115,000, Lead Independent Director: $95,000, Audit Committee Chair: $95,000, and the Compensation Committee Chair: $90,000. All other Board positions will remain at an annual cash retainer of $75,000.

Equity Compensation. The Company has typically awarded discretionary grants in the past to new directors; however, we do not maintain a formal policy providing for initial equity grants to newly appointed Board members. On March 2, 2026, the Company awarded new director Shuja Keen a grant of 5,000 restricted share units ("RSUs"), with 25% of such restricted share units to vest annually, commencing March 2, 2027, provided Mr. Keen remains in continuous service to the Company on each vesting date, to immediately align his interests with those of the Company's shareholders.

The Company's Compensation Committee has retained Exequity LLP as its compensation consultant, to provide ongoing executive and director compensation advisory services. During fiscal year 2024, Exequity completed a review of compensation of the Company's non-employee directors, the executive leadership team, and additional global leadership team members and presented their findings and recommendations to the Compensation Committee. It was determined that to bring the Company in alignment with its peer group, annual grants of equity should be awarded to our non-employee directors. On March 2, 2026, on recommendation by the Compensation Committee and approval of the Board, initial annual equity grants were made as follows: (1) Mr. Jones as Chairman of the Board received 2,250 restricted share units and 2,250 performance-based share units; and (2) all other non-employee Board members, with the exception of Mr. Keen, received 2,083 restricted share units and 2,083 performance-based share units. The restricted share units vest 25% annually, commencing on July 1, 2026, provided the director remains in continuous service to the Company on each vesting date.

Performance-based share units ("PSUs") vest over three years, with the first review period ending June 30, 2026, with vesting for such period at 180% of target. Depending on the Company’s TSR relative to the performance peer group during each applicable performance period, participants may earn up to 200% of the target number of PSUs. The aggregate value of the PSUs at vesting is capped at five times the grant-

20


date fair market value of the target award, regardless of the level of relative TSR achievement or appreciation in the Company’s stock price.

Indemnification Agreements. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors. The indemnification agreements and our Bye-laws require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Bermuda law.

1.Robert Dechant is also a member of the Company's Board, but as an employee does not receive any additional compensation for his Board service, and accordingly, he is not included in this table.

2.The director fees for Messrs. Khaishgi and Keen were paid by the Company to The Resource Group International Limited in accordance with the terms of their respective director agreements. Mr. Khaishgi did not stand for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting and his term ended on December 5, 2025. Mr. Keen was appointed to the Board on December 19, 2025. Accordingly, the director fees for Messrs. Khaishgi and Keen were pro-rated for their time served on the Board during fiscal year 2026.

3.Amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted to the Directors during fiscal year 2026 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and based on (a) the closing price of our common shares on the date of grant for RSUs, and (b) a Monte Carlo valuation for PSUs. See footnote 11 (Stock-Based Compensation) to the Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 for an explanation of the assumptions made by the Company in the valuation of the awards shown in this column. The values reported above for PSUs are based on the probable outcome as of the grant date. The values for such PSUs, assuming the achievement of the performance goals at the maximum level, would be as follows for each director: Ms. Ballou-Aares: $163,974; Ms. Batungbacal: $163,974; Ms. Beck: $163,974; Mr. Jones: $177,120; Mr. McGinnis: $163,974; and Mr. Zhuang: $163,974. Mr. Keen was not eligible for this PSU award based on his tenure and instead received a new member grant solely in the form of RSUs as noted above. These amounts may not correspond to the actual value eventually realized by each Director because the value depends on the market value of our common shares at the time the award vests. Equity awards vest as described above in the Director Compensation section entitled "Equity Compensation."

4.As of June 30, 2026, the directors had the following unvested RSUs and PSUs (in the aggregate): each of Ms. Ballou-Aares and Ms. Beck 4,166; each of Ms. Batungbacal and Messrs. McGinnis and Zhuang 6,041; Mr. Jones 4,500; and Mr. Keen 5,000.

However, in the event that any nominee for the Board in Proposal Two is not elected by the shareholders or becomes unable or unwilling to stand for election or serve as a director, the Board proposes that it shall have the authority to fill any vacancy on the Board left unfilled at the Annual Meeting if this proposal is passed.

Our Board recommends a vote FOR the proposal to authorize the Board to fill any vacancy on the Board.

PROPOSAL FOUR

NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS' COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to express their view, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the compensation of the named executive officers (commonly known as a "say-on-pay" vote).

This say-on-pay proposal provides our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers' compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific element of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Please read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and the compensation tables and narrative disclosures that follow for information about our executive compensation program, including the details of the fiscal year 2026 compensation of our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee believes that these policies and practices are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and achieving our compensation program goals.

Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote FOR the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative discussion.”

As an advisory vote, the outcome of the vote on this proposal is not binding. However, our management team, our Board and our Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our shareholders, and will consider the outcome of this vote when making future executive compensation decisions. Subject to the outcome of Proposal Five, we expect to conduct the next say-on-pay vote at our 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders.

Our Board recommends a vote FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of our named executive officers' compensation.

22


PROPOSAL FIVE

NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE FREQUENCY OF SHAREHOLDER VOTES TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to express their view, on a non-binding, advisory basis, regarding how often we should provide our shareholders an opportunity to vote, on an advisory basis, to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (the say-on-pay vote). Shareholders may specify whether they prefer such votes to occur every one year, two years or three years, or they may abstain from voting. The Board recommends that the Company hold a say-on-pay vote every year.

As an advisory vote, the result is not binding on the Board. However, the Board will give careful consideration to the voting results on this proposal and expects to be guided by the alternative that receives the greatest number of votes, even if that alternative does not receive a majority of votes in accordance with our Bye-laws. Notwithstanding the Board's recommendation and the outcome of the shareholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct say-on-pay votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with shareholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs. The next say-on-frequency vote will occur at the 2032 annual meeting of shareholders.

The Board recommends a vote for ONE YEAR as the preferred frequency of the non-binding advisory resolution approving the Company's Named Executive Officer compensation.

23


PROPOSAL SIX

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO BYE-LAW 74

In response to shareholder feedback, on November 26, 2025, the Board approved an amendment to the Company's Bye-law 74 to adopt a simple majority vote standard for Bye-law amendments. In accordance with Bermuda law where the Company is incorporated, this amendment is subject to approval by the Company's shareholders. If this proposal is approved, the simple majority standard will replace the current 75% threshold.

Currently, Bye-law 74 reads as follows:

"No Bye-law may be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Bye-law may be made save in accordance with the Companies Act and until such amendment or alteration has been approved by a resolution of the Board, and by a resolution of the Members carried by 75% of more [of] those Members voting in such resolution."

The Board proposes that Bye-law 74 be amended as follows:

"No Bye-law may be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Bye-law may be made save in accordance with the Companies Act and until such amendment or alteration has been approved by a resolution of the Board, and by a resolution of the Members carried by a simple majority of those Members voting in such resolution."

The Board believes this change reflects its commitment and ongoing focus on strengthening corporate governance practices to align with leading market standards and shareholder priorities.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the proposal to amend the Bye-laws to adopt a simple majority vote standard for changes to the Bye-laws.

PROPOSAL SEVEN

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE IBEX LIMITED AMENDED AND RESTATED 2020 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Overview

We are asking shareholders to approve an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Ibex Limited Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan. On October 14, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, approved and adopted the Amendment, subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

In this proposal, we refer to the Ibex Limited Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan currently in effect as the “Current LTIP,” and we refer to the Ibex Limited Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended by the Amendment, as the “Amended LTIP.”

The Amendment would authorize an additional 1,000,000 Common Shares, par value $0.000111650536 per share ("Common Shares"), for issuance under the Amended LTIP, resulting in a new aggregate share reserve of 3,637,326.13 Common Shares. Except for the increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance, the Amendment would not materially change the terms of the Current LTIP.

The Amended LTIP will continue to provide the Compensation Committee with the flexibility to structure equity-based compensation arrangements that support the Company's evolving business objectives, reward sustained performance and promote the creation of long-term shareholder value. The Amended LTIP authorizes a variety of equity-based awards intended to encourage stock ownership among eligible officers, employees, consultants, other service providers and non-employee directors.

As of October 9, 2026, 460,424 Common Shares remained available for issuance under the Current LTIP. We believe that increasing the available share reserve is necessary to maintain a competitive compensation program, support the Company's long-term growth strategy and ensure that the Company can continue to attract, motivate and retain the talent essential to its success.

A conformed copy of the Amended LTIP is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B. The following description of the Amended LTIP is only a summary of its principal terms and provisions and is qualified by reference to the actual text as set forth in Appendix B.

Why We Believe You Should Vote for This Proposal

The Board believes that approval of the Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders because it will provide the Company with the resources necessary to attract and retain critical talent, reinforce a performance-driven culture, align compensation with long-term shareholder value creation and preserve financial flexibility as the Company executes its strategic growth initiatives.

•Equity Compensation is Critical to Attracting and Motivating Talent. The customer experience industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by artificial intelligence, automation, advanced analytics and increasingly sophisticated technology-enabled service delivery. As the Company continues to expand its capabilities and invest in innovative solutions, its long-term success depends on attracting, developing and retaining highly skilled professionals with the technical, operational and leadership expertise necessary to execute its strategy.

25


Competition for these individuals is particularly intense, especially in areas involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital transformation, engineering, technology integration and complex enterprise solutions. We compete for talent not only with traditional customer experience providers but also with technology companies, software providers and other businesses seeking many of the same specialized skills. Equity-based compensation is a critical component of our ability to compete effectively in this environment. It enables us to offer compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other employers while directly connecting a portion of employee compensation to the Company's long-term performance and shareholder value creation. The additional share authorization will provide the Compensation Committee with the flexibility necessary to support the Company's talent acquisition and retention strategies as our business continues to evolve. We believe that the inability to offer competitive equity incentives could place the Company at a meaningful disadvantage in attracting and retaining the individuals responsible for driving innovation, strengthening client relationships, expanding our technology capabilities and delivering sustainable growth.

•Broad-Based Equity Program is Critical to Retaining Talent Beyond the Executive Level. Although equity awards are an important component of executive compensation, their value extends beyond the Company's most senior officers. As our business has grown in size, geographic reach and operational complexity, the contributions of key leaders throughout the organization have become increasingly important to our success. Our ability to deliver high-quality services, execute complex client engagements, implement new technologies and expand into attractive markets depends on the continuity and expertise of individuals across multiple management levels and specialized functions. Our equity compensation program currently extends beyond senior executive management to key employees and critical talent throughout the organization. While limited in participation relative to our overall workforce, this group includes individuals whose expertise, institutional knowledge and leadership responsibilities are particularly important to the Company's operational performance and strategic objectives. We believe that providing these employees with a meaningful ownership opportunity strengthens retention, encourages collaboration across functions and reinforces a shared commitment to the Company's long-term success. Equity awards are particularly effective in supporting retention because their multi-year vesting schedules encourage employees to remain with the Company while contributing to its continued growth and performance. In an industry characterized by intense competition for specialized talent, maintaining this incentive structure is important to minimizing disruption, preserving institutional knowledge and supporting continuity in the execution of our strategic priorities. Without additional share capacity, our ability to continue offering competitive equity incentives to these critical employees would be significantly constrained. We believe this could adversely affect our ability to retain and motivate the talent necessary to sustain our competitive position.

•Equity Incentives Reinforce Leadership Accountability and Shareholder Alignment. We believe that a well-designed equity compensation program is one of the most effective mechanisms for aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders. Equity awards provide our executives and other key employees with a direct financial interest in the Company's long-term success. By linking a meaningful portion of compensation to the value of our Common Shares, these awards encourage decisions that support sustainable growth, disciplined capital allocation, operational efficiency and long-term value creation. Our compensation philosophy emphasizes rewarding performance over time rather than encouraging decisions focused exclusively on short-term results. Multi-year vesting requirements and performance-based equity awards are intended to reinforce this philosophy by promoting leadership continuity and encouraging management to pursue strategies that generate lasting benefits for shareholders. Performance-based equity awards also provide the Compensation Committee with the ability to establish measurable objectives that reflect the Company's strategic and financial priorities,

26


thereby strengthening accountability for results. We believe that maintaining sufficient shares in our long-term incentive plan is essential to preserving this alignment. Without the ability to grant meaningful equity incentives, the Company could become increasingly reliant on cash compensation arrangements that may not provide the same direct connection between compensation outcomes and shareholder returns.

Approval of the Amendment will allow us to continue rewarding those who execute our strategy, encouraging them to think and act like owners of the Company.

•We Have Demonstrated a Disciplined Approach to Equity Compensation and Capital Allocation. We recognize that the issuance of additional equity awards may result in dilution to existing shareholders. Accordingly, the Board and Compensation Committee seek to balance the benefits of equity-based compensation against the potential dilutive impact of such awards. Our approach to equity compensation is grounded in the belief that share-based incentives should be used thoughtfully, with a focus on rewarding performance, retaining critical talent and supporting long-term shareholder value creation. This philosophy is consistent with our broader commitment to disciplined capital allocation.

During fiscal 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million Common Shares, representing an investment of approximately $14.4 million. These repurchases demonstrate our commitment to returning capital to shareholders while investing in the people, capabilities and technologies necessary for future growth. Although share repurchases do not eliminate the potential dilution associated with equity awards, we believe our capital allocation strategy reflects an appropriate balance between investing in the Company's long-term success and managing the interests of existing shareholders.

The proposed increase of 1,000,000 Common Shares would provide flexibility for future equity awards, rather than to authorize an immediate issuance of the entire reserve. Actual share issuance will depend on future awards, applicable vesting requirements and the terms of the Amended LTIP.

We believe the proposed increase represents a prudent investment in the Company's human capital and our ability to generate sustainable long-term shareholder value.

•The LTIP Includes Important Shareholder Protections and Governance Safeguards. The Board and Compensation Committee recognize shareholders' expectations for appropriate governance protections and responsible stewardship of shareholder capital. The Amended LTIP maintains provisions designed to support these objectives, including restrictions on the repricing of underwater stock options and stock appreciation rights without shareholder approval. Dividend equivalents on applicable performance-based and service-based full-value awards are accrued and paid only to the extent the underlying awards vest so participants do not receive the economic benefits from unearned or unvested awards. In addition, equity awards under the Amended LTIP are subject, where applicable, to the Company's Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy, which provides for the recovery of certain compensation under specified circumstances. These governance features are intended to discourage excessive risk-taking, reinforce accountability and ensure that equity compensation arrangements remain appropriately aligned with shareholder interests. Importantly, these protections are existing features of the Company's compensation framework and are not being presented as newly adopted provisions of the Amendment. We believe that the continuation of these governance safeguards, together with the Compensation Committee's oversight of equity awards, provides shareholders with important protections while preserving the flexibility necessary to maintain a competitive compensation program.

27


•The LTIP Does Not Include an Evergreen Provision or Automatic Share Replenishment. The Current LTIP does not contain an evergreen provision that automatically increases the number of shares available for issuance on an annual or other recurring basis. Any increase in the authorized share reserve requires shareholder approval.

We believe this structure is an important shareholder protection because it provides investors with the opportunity to evaluate proposed increases in the equity compensation pool and assess the Company's use of equity incentives before authorizing additional shares. The Amendment preserves this approach. Approval of the Amendment would authorize a specified increase of 1,000,000 Common Shares, not an open-ended or automatically replenishing share reserve. The absence of an evergreen provision reflects our commitment to transparency, shareholder oversight and disciplined equity compensation practices.

•Additional Equity Capacity Will Preserve Cash Resources and Support Financial Flexibility.

Equity-based compensation provides the Company with an important tool for balancing competitive compensation with the need to preserve cash for operational and strategic investments. As of October 9, 2026, 460,424 Common Shares remained available for issuance under the Current LTIP. We believe this may be insufficient to support the Company's anticipated long-term equity compensation needs. If shareholders do not approve the Amendment, the Company may be required to reconsider the structure of its compensation programs, including potentially increasing the cash component of compensation offered to executives, key employees and non-employee directors. A greater reliance on cash compensation could reduce the Company's financial flexibility and limit resources otherwise available to support strategic priorities, including investments in artificial intelligence, technology infrastructure, innovation, client expansion and other growth opportunities. In addition, cash-based compensation arrangements may not provide the same direct alignment with long-term shareholder value creation as equity awards. We believe that preserving an appropriate balance between cash and equity compensation is particularly important as the Company continues to pursue opportunities in an evolving and highly competitive industry. Approval of the Amendment will allow the Company to maintain that balance while preserving the ability to deploy capital in support of initiatives designed to enhance long-term shareholder returns.

•Approval of the Amendment Is an Investment in the Company's Future and Long-Term Shareholder Value. The proposed increase in the Current LTIP share reserve is not simply a request for additional compensation capacity. It is an important component of our broader strategy to position the Company for sustained growth and long-term success. Our ability to execute our strategic priorities depends on the continued contributions of experienced leaders, innovative technical professionals and high-performing employees who understand our business, our clients and the increasingly complex technologies shaping our industry. We believe that the value created by attracting, motivating and retaining these individuals can meaningfully exceed the potential dilutive impact of appropriately structured equity awards. By providing the Company with the ability to continue offering competitive, performance-oriented equity compensation, the Amendment will support the retention of key talent, promote accountability for long-term results and strengthen the alignment between employee performance and shareholder outcomes. The Board and Compensation Committee believe that the proposed additional share authorization is reasonable and appropriate in light of the Company's anticipated compensation needs, strategic growth objectives and commitment to responsible corporate governance.

For these reasons, the Board believes that approval of the Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposal to amend the Ibex Limited Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

28


We believe the proposed increase is a measured and responsible investment in the Company's future. Our ability to create sustainable shareholder value depends upon attracting, retaining and motivating the talented individuals who drive our operational performance, technological innovation and strategic growth. The Amendment will provide the Company with the flexibility necessary to maintain competitive, performance-oriented compensation programs while preserving cash resources, reinforcing management accountability and aligning the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders.

We believe that approving the Amendment is an important step in supporting the Company's continued success and delivering long-term value to our shareholders. A summary of key terms and other information regarding the Amended LTIP is provided below.

Our Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the Amendment to the Ibex Limited Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Overhang and Dilution

The following includes aggregated information regarding our view of the overhang and dilution associated with the Current LTIP, and the potential dilution associated with the Amended LTIP. This information is as of June 30, 2026.

Share Options Outstanding (A)434,179
Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Share Options$19.03
Weighted-Average Remaining Term of Outstanding Share Options (Years)5.5
Total Stock-Settled Full Value Awards Outstanding (B)787,105
Total Shares Subject to Outstanding Awards (A + B)1,221,284
Total Shares Remaining Available for Issuance under Current LTIP (C)411,020
Additional Shares Requested (D)1,000,000
Basic Common Shares Outstanding (E)13,309,640
Potential Basic Dilution of Shares Remaining Available + Shares Requested ((C+D)/E)10.6%
Total Potential Basic Dilution/Overhang ((A+B+C+D)/E)19.8%

Based on the closing price on the Nasdaq Stock Market for our Common Shares on October 9, 2026 of $44.52 per share, the aggregate market value as of October 9, 2026 of the additional 1,000,000 Common Shares requested under the Amended LTIP was $44,520,000.

The additional reserve does not mean all 1,000,000 shares will be issued immediately. The Company retains discretion over future awards, subject to the terms of the Amended LTIP. Actual dilution depends on the awards granted, the type of awards, vesting, settlement and other applicable factors.

29


Burn Rate

Burn rate provides a measure of the potential dilutive impact of our annual equity award program. Set forth below is a table that reflects our burn rate as of fiscal year end for 2026, 2025 and 2024, as well as the average over those years:

202620252024
Share Options Granted (A)——142,000
RSUs and target PSUs Granted301,274231,71950,000
RSUs Granted (B)198,159166,66530,000

Burn Rate ((A+B+C)/D)3.1%1.1%1.0%
Three-Year Average Burn Rate1.7%

We currently anticipate that the shares available for issuance following the approval of the Amended LTIP will last for about three years, based on our forecasted grant rates and the approximate current share price, but could last for a different period of time if actual practice does not match recent rates or our share price changes materially.

Summary of Material Terms of the Amended LTIP

Purpose

We believe that the Amended LTIP will enable us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, consultants and directors, and to promote the success of our business. The Amended LTIP is designed to:

•promote the long-term financial interests and growth of our Company and its subsidiaries by attracting and retaining directors and employees, which include management as well as other personnel;

•motivate management by means of growth-related incentives to achieve long-range goals; and

•further the alignment of the interests of participants and those of our shareholders, through opportunities for increased share or share-based ownership in our Company.

Administration

The Amended LTIP will be administered by the “Administrator”, as defined below. For the purposes of the Amended LTIP, “Administrator” means our Compensation Committee, or such other committee(s) of director(s) duly appointed by our Board or our Compensation Committee to administer the Amended LTIP or delegated limited authority to perform administrative actions under the Amended LTIP, and having such powers as shall be specified by our Board or our Compensation Committee, provided, however, that at any time our Board may serve as the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to our Compensation Committee or such other committee(s) of director(s) to whom administrative authority has been delegated. As of October 9, 2026, the Administrator is the Compensation Committee. The Administrator has the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant awards under the Amended LTIP to eligible individuals, and to take all other actions necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of the Amended LTIP. Further, the Administrator has the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended LTIP, to, among other things:

30


•determine the eligible individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, awards shall be granted;

•determine the type of awards to be granted to any eligible individual;

•determine the number of shares to be covered by or used for reference purposes for each award or the value to be transferred pursuant to any award; and

•determine the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each award and any shares acquired pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, (i) the purchase price of any shares, (ii) the method of payment for shares purchased pursuant to any award, (iii) the method for satisfying any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with any award, including by the withholding or delivery of shares, (iv) the timing, terms and conditions of the exercisability, vesting or payout of any award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto, (v) the performance goals applicable to any award and the extent to which such performance goals have been attained, (vi) the time of the expiration of an award, (vii) any such modification, amendment or substitution that results in repricing of the award which may be made without prior shareholder approval, (viii) the effect of a participant’s Termination of Service, as defined in the Amended LTIP, on any of the foregoing and (ix) all other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any award or shares acquired pursuant thereto as the Administrator considers to be appropriate and not inconsistent with the terms of the Amended LTIP.

Eligibility

Subject to certain exceptions, officers and employees of, and other individuals, including non-employee directors, who are natural persons providing bona fide services to or for, the Company or its subsidiaries, as well as certain prospective service providers, are eligible to participate in the Amended LTIP. As of June 30, 2026, there were approximately 9 officers, 265 non-officer employees, 7 non-employee directors, and 2 other service providers of the Company eligible to participate in the Current LTIP. The basis for participation in the Amended LTIP is being eligible and selected by the Administrator or its designee to receive a grant thereunder.

Participation by Non-Employee Directors

Although our non-employee directors, including our independent directors, are not involved in the day-to-day running of our operations, they play an invaluable role in furthering our business interests by contributing their experience and expertise. It is crucial for us to be able to attract, retain and incentivize such individuals. It may not always be possible to quantify the services and contributions of our non-employee directors to our Company, and accordingly, it may not always be possible to compensate them fully or appropriately by increasing their directors’ fees or other cash payments. To that end, participation by non-employee directors in the Amended LTIP provides our Company with a further avenue via which to acknowledge and reward their services and contributions to our Company. In addition, we believe that opportunities for increased shares or share-based ownership in our Company will further the alignment of the interests of our non-employee directors with the interests of our shareholders.

Available Shares

Subject to adjustment, a maximum of 3,637,326.13 Common Shares may be awarded under the Amended LTIP (which consists of the original 1,287,326.13 Common Shares approved in fiscal year 2020, an additional 700,000 Common Shares added in fiscal year 2022, an additional 650,000 Common Shares added in fiscal year 2026 and an additional 1,000,000 Common Shares proposed to be added pursuant to the Amendment). As of October 9, 2026, 460,424 Common Shares remained available for issuance under the Current LTIP. Shares issued under Amended LTIP may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. This limit may be adjusted to reflect certain changes in our capitalization, such as share splits, reverse share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, rights offerings,

31


reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, split-ups and similar transactions. Subject to adjustment as provided in the provision of the Amended LTIP pertaining to the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to share options granted under the Amended LTIP that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) is 3,500,000 (provided that only the Common Shares originally reserved for issuance in 2020 will be eligible to be granted as incentive stock options).

If any award of Common Shares under the Amended LTIP or IBEX Holdings Limited 2018 Restricted Share Plan (the “2018 RSA Plan”) expires or is forfeited in whole or in part, the unused Common Shares covered by such awards shall again be available for the grant under the Amended LTIP. Additionally, any Common Shares used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligations with respect to any awards under the Amended LTIP or the 2018 RSA Plan (including shares retained from the award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of awards under the Amended LTIP. The Amended LTIP’s share pool shall not be increased by any Common Shares reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of share options.

Maximum Entitlements

Under the Amended LTIP the Administrator may establish compensation for our non-employee directors from time to time, provided that the sum of any cash compensation and the grant date fair value of awards granted under the Amended LTIP to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any calendar year may not exceed $450,000; provided, however, that in a non-employee director’s first year of service, compensation for services may not exceed $900,000. The Administrator may make exceptions to this limit for individual non-employee directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other compensation decisions involving such non-employee director.

Types of Awards

Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with other types of awards, concurrently with or with respect to outstanding awards. All awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the award agreement, which shall be delivered to the participant receiving such award upon, or as promptly as is reasonably practicable following, the grant of such award. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, or otherwise provided in the award agreement, an award shall not be effective unless the award agreement is signed or otherwise accepted by the Company and the participant receiving the award (including by electronic delivery and/or electronic signature). Participants are not required to pay for the application or acceptance of awards.

•Share Options. The Administrator may grant awards of share options (“Share Options”). A Share Option means a right to purchase a specified number of Common Shares from the Company at a specified price during a specified period of time. The exercise price per share subject to a Share Option granted under the Amended LTIP shall not be less than the fair market value of one share on the date of grant of the Share Option, except as provided under applicable law or with respect to Share Options that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company acquired by our Company or with which our Company combines (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or stock, or otherwise) to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible individuals awards of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options; provided, however, that awards of incentive stock options shall be limited to employees of the Company or of any current or hereafter existing “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation,” as

32


defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively, of the Company, and any other eligible individuals who are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. No Share Option shall be an incentive stock option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant or in the applicable award agreement. Share Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that awards of Share Options may not have a term in excess of ten years’ duration unless required otherwise by applicable law. Except as provided in the applicable award agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent Share Options are not vested and exercisable, a participant’s Share Options shall be forfeited upon his or her Termination of Service. Share Options granted under the Amended LTIP may not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon.

•Share Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant awards of share appreciation rights. A share appreciation right entitles the participant to receive, subject to the provisions of Amended LTIP and the applicable award agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of Common Share over (B) the base price per share specified in the applicable award agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the share appreciation right, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per share specified in the applicable award agreement shall not be less than the lower of the fair market value on the date of grant or the exercise price of any tandem share option to which the share appreciation right is related, or with respect to share appreciation rights that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company acquired by the Company or a subsidiary or with which the Company or a subsidiary combines (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or share, or otherwise) such base price as is necessary to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards. Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that share appreciation rights granted under the Amended LTIP may not have a term in excess of ten years unless otherwise required by applicable law. Except as provided in the applicable award agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent share appreciation rights are not vested and exercisable, a participant’s share appreciation rights shall be forfeited upon his Termination of Service. Share appreciation rights granted under the Amended LTIP may not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon.

•Share Awards. The Administrator may grant awards of unrestricted Common Shares or restricted shares (collectively, “Share Awards”) on such terms and conditions, such as performance based on certain performance criteria, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the limitations set forth in the Amended LTIP. Share Awards shall be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including via book-entry registration. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of a Share Award, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any. Dividends declared on restricted shares shall be held by the Company and made subject to forfeiture until the underlying restricted shares vest. For the avoidance of doubt, any dividends or other distributions shall accrue and only be paid to the extent the corresponding portion of the award of restricted shares becomes vested.

•Share Units. The Administrator may, from time to time, grant to eligible individuals awards of unrestricted share units or restricted share units. For the purposes of the Amended LTIP, “restricted share unit” means a right granted to a participant to receive shares or cash at the end of a specified deferral period, which right may be conditioned on the satisfaction of certain requirements, including the satisfaction of certain performance goals. Restricted share units shall be subject to such vesting, risk of forfeiture and/or payment provisions as the Administrator may impose at the date of grant. The restriction period to which such vesting and/or risk of forfeiture applies may lapse under such circumstances, including without limitation upon the attainment of

33


performance goals, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator may determine. Until shares are issued to the participant in settlement of share units, the participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the share units or the shares issuable thereunder. The Administrator may grant the participant the right to dividend equivalents on share units; provided, however, that dividend equivalents declared payable on share units shall be accrued and made subject to forfeiture until such share units vest. For the avoidance of doubt, any dividend equivalents or other distributions shall accrue and only be paid to the extent the corresponding portion of the award of share units becomes vested.

•Performance Shares and Performance Units. An award of Performance Shares, as that term is used in the Amended LTIP, refers to Common Shares or stock units that are expressed in terms of our Common Shares, the issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment of which is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined objectives over a specified performance period. An award of Performance Units, as that term is used in the Amended LTIP, refers to dollar-denominated units valued by reference to designated criteria established by the administrator, other than our Common Shares, whose issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined objectives over a specified performance period. The applicable award agreement will specify whether Performance Shares and Performance Units will be settled or paid in cash or Common Shares or a combination of both, or will reserve to the Administrator or the participant the right to make that determination prior to or at the payment or settlement date. The Administrator will, prior to or at the time of grant, condition the grant, vesting or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, an award of Performance Shares or Performance Units upon (A) the attainment of performance goals during a performance period or (B) the attainment of performance goals and the continued service of the participant. The length of the performance period, the performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such performance goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Administrator in the exercise of its absolute discretion. Performance goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of the award or payout of Performance Shares or Performance Units or the vesting or lapse of restrictions with respect thereto based on the level attained. An award of Performance Shares or Performance Units will be settled as and when the award vests or at a later time specified in the award agreement or in accordance with an election of the participant, if the Administrator so permits, that meets the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code. Performance goals applicable to performance-based awards may be awarded based on performance metrics to be attained within a predetermined performance period as they may apply to an individual, one or more business units, divisions, or affiliates, or on a company-wide basis, and in absolute terms, relative to a base period, or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies, peer groups, or an index covering multiple companies. The Administrator may, in its discretion, adjust the performance goals applicable to any awards to reflect any unusual or non-recurring events and other extraordinary items, impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations and the cumulative effects of accounting or tax changes.

•Other Share-Based Awards. The Administrator may, from time to time, grant to eligible individuals awards in the form of Other Share-Based Awards. For the purposes of the Amended LTIP, “Other Share-Based Award” means an award of shares or any other award that is valued in whole or in part by reference to, or that is otherwise based upon, shares, including without limitation dividend equivalents and convertible debentures. Dividend equivalents payable on Other Share-Based Awards shall be accrued and made subject to forfeiture until such Other Share-Based Awards vest. For the avoidance of doubt, any dividend equivalents or other distributions shall accrue and only be paid to the extent the corresponding portion of the Other Share-Based Award becomes vested.

Adjustment Events

In the event of a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, rights offering, statutory share exchange or similar event affecting our Company (each, a “Corporate Event”), or a share dividend, share split, reverse share split, separation, spinoff, reorganization, extraordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination or subdivision or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of our Company (each, a “Share Change”), the Administrator shall make equitable and appropriate substitutions or proportionate adjustments to (a) the aggregate number and kind of shares or other securities on which awards under the Amended LTIP may be granted to eligible individuals, (b) the maximum number of shares or other securities with respect to which awards may be granted during any one calendar year to any individual, (c) the maximum number of shares or other securities that may be issued with respect to incentive stock options granted under the Amended LTIP, (d) the number of shares or other securities covered by each outstanding award and the exercise price, base price or other price per share, if any, and other relevant terms of each outstanding award and (e) all other numerical limitations relating to awards, whether contained in the Amended LTIP or in award agreements; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated and that no such adjustment shall be made if as a result, the participant receives a benefit that a shareholder does not receive and any adjustment (except in relation to a capitalization issue) must be confirmed in writing by the auditors of our Company (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) to be, in their opinion, fair and reasonable.

In the case of Corporate Events, the Administrator may make such other adjustments to outstanding awards as it determines to be appropriate and desirable, which adjustments may include, without limitation, (a) the cancellation of outstanding awards in exchange for payments of cash, securities or other property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such awards, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Event with respect to which shareholders receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Administrator that the value of a share option or share appreciation right shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each share pursuant to such Corporate Event over the exercise price or base price of such share option or share appreciation right shall conclusively be deemed valid and that any share option or share appreciation right may be cancelled for no consideration upon a Corporate Event if its exercise price or base price equals or exceeds the value of the consideration being paid for each share pursuant to such Corporate Event), (b) the substitution of securities or other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of our Company and securities of entities other than our Company) for the shares subject to outstanding awards and (c) the substitution of equivalent awards, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, of the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof.

Change in Control

In the event of a change in control, as defined in the Amended LTIP, of our Company, outstanding awards will terminate upon the effective time of the change in control unless provision is made for the continuation, assumption or substitution of awards by the surviving or successor entity or its parent. Unless an award agreement says otherwise, the following will occur with respect to awards that terminate in connection with a change in control of our Company:

•share options and share appreciation rights will become fully exercisable and holders of these awards will be permitted immediately before the change in control to exercise them;

•restricted shares and share units with time-based vesting (i.e., not subject to achievement of performance goals) will become fully vested immediately before the change in control, and share units will be settled as promptly as is practicable in accordance with applicable law; and

•restricted shares and share units that vest based on the achievement of performance goals will vest as if the performance goal for the unexpired performance period had been achieved at the

35


target level; and the performance share units will be settled as promptly as is practicable in accordance with applicable law.

In addition, unless otherwise specified in an award agreement or determined by the Compensation Committee, in the event that (i) outstanding awards are continued, assumed or substituted in connection with a change in control by the surviving or successor entity and (ii) within two years following such change in control, a participant experiences a Termination of Service as a result of a termination by the Company without cause, then such continued, assumed or substituted awards held by such participant shall become fully vested and exercisable.

Shareholder Rights

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of restricted shares, a participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such Common Shares.

Amendment and Termination

Our Board of Directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the Amended LTIP but no amendment or termination may be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant under any outstanding award, without his or her consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law or rule of any securities exchange or market on which our shares are listed or admitted for trading or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences to our company or the participant. If required to comply with Bermuda law and any other applicable laws or stock exchange rules or the rules of any automated quotation systems (other than any requirement which may be disapplied by the Company following any available home country exemption), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any amendment to the Amended LTIP in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

Amendment of Awards

The Administrator may unilaterally amend the terms of any award theretofore granted, but no such amendment shall materially impair the rights of any participant with respect to an award without the participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to cause the Amended LTIP or award to comply with applicable law, applicable rule of any securities exchange on which our Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading, or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences for the participant or our company or any of our affiliates. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an amendment to an award that results in a change in the tax consequences of the award to the participant shall not be considered to be a material impairment of the rights of the participant and shall not require the participant’s consent. Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event under Adjustment Events above or in connection with a change in control, the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding share options or the base price of outstanding share appreciation rights, or cancel outstanding “underwater” share options or share appreciation rights (including following a participant’s voluntary surrender of “underwater” share options or share appreciation rights) in exchange for cash, other awards or share options or share appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price of the original share option or base price of the original share appreciation right, as applicable, without shareholder approval.

Transferability

Subject to certain limited exceptions, awards under the Amended LTIP may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

36


Effective Date; Term

The Amended LTIP will remain in effect, subject to the right of our Board or our Compensation Committee to amend or terminate the Amended LTIP at any time, until the earlier of (a) the earliest date as of which all awards granted under the Amended LTIP have been satisfied in full or terminated and no shares approved for issuance under the Amended LTIP remain available to be granted under new awards, or (b) December 5, 2035. No awards will be granted under the Amended LTIP after such termination date. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Amended LTIP, all awards made under the Amended LTIP on or before December 5, 2035, or such earlier termination of the Amended LTIP, shall remain in effect until such awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Amended LTIP and the terms of such awards.

New Plan Benefits

Future awards under the Amended LTIP will be made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee; therefore, it is not currently possible to quantify the benefits or amounts that may be received by the named executive officers or groups noted in the table below pursuant to the Amended LTIP in the future. However, we have estimated awards that are anticipated to be made in fiscal year 2027 to our non-employee directors based on the current non-employee director compensation program.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of certain of the Federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the Amended LTIP based on Federal income tax laws in effect. This summary, which is presented for the information of shareholders considering how to vote on this proposal and not for Amended LTIP participants, is not intended to be complete and does not describe Federal taxes other than income taxes (such as Medicare and Social Security taxes), or state, local or foreign tax consequences.

Tax Consequences to Participants

Restricted Shares

The recipient of restricted shares generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the restricted shares (reduced by any amount paid by the recipient for such restricted shares) at such time as the restricted shares are no longer subject to forfeiture or restrictions on transfer for purposes of Section 83 of the Code ("Restrictions"). However, a recipient who so elects under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of the date of transfer of the shares will have taxable ordinary income on the date of transfer of the shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares (determined without regard to the Restrictions) over the purchase price, if any, of such restricted shares. If a Section 83(b) election has not been made, any dividends received with respect to restricted shares that are subject to the Restrictions generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary income to the recipient.

Performance Shares and Performance Units

No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of performance shares or performance units. Upon payment in respect of the earn-out of performance shares or performance units, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any unrestricted Common Shares received.

39


Nonqualified Stock Options

In general:

•no income will be recognized by an optionee at the time a non-qualified stock option is granted;

•at the time of exercise of a non-qualified stock option, ordinary income will be recognized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option price paid for the shares and the fair market value of the shares, if unrestricted, on the date of exercise; and

•at the time of sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, appreciation (or depreciation) in value of the shares after the date of exercise will be treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

Incentive Stock Options

No income generally will be recognized by an optionee upon the grant or exercise of an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code. If Common Shares are issued to the optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, and if no disqualifying disposition of such shares is made by such optionee within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the transfer of such shares to the optionee, then upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option price will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss.

If Common Shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of either holding period described above, the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such shares at the time of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of such shares if a sale or exchange) over the exercise price paid for such shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the participant generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on the holding period.

Share Appreciation Rights

No income will be recognized by a participant in connection with the grant of a share appreciation right. When the share appreciation right is exercised, the participant normally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of exercise an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any unrestricted Common Shares received on the exercise.

Restricted Share Units

No income generally will be recognized upon the award of restricted share units. The recipient of a restricted share unit award generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of unrestricted Common Shares on the date that such shares are transferred to the participant under the award (reduced by any amount paid by the participant for such restricted share units), and the capital gains/loss holding period for such shares will also commence on such date.

Tax Consequences to the Company and its Subsidiaries

To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, the Company or the subsidiary for which the participant performs services will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section

40


280G of the Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation on certain executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Registration with the SEC

We intend to file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the issuance of Common Shares under the Amended LTIP with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as soon as practicable after approval of the Amended LTIP by our shareholders.

PROPOSAL EIGHT

APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY'S AUDITOR AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND AUTHORIZATION OF AUDIT COMMITTEE TO FIX REMUNERATION OF AUDITOR AND INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

In accordance with Section 89 of the Companies Act, our shareholders have the authority to appoint our auditors and independent registered public accounting firm and to authorize the Audit Committee, acting on behalf of the Board, to fix the remuneration of such firm. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and authorize the Audit Committee to fix the remuneration of Deloitte for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

Deloitte has served as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm since October 28, 2021. Representatives of Deloitte are not expected to be physically present at the Annual Meeting. However, they will be available online during the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish and be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

We are asking shareholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and authorize the Audit Committee to fix the remuneration of Deloitte for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. In the event that shareholders do not re-appoint Deloitte at the Annual Meeting, Deloitte shall hold office until a successor is appointed in accordance with Bermuda law and our Bye-laws.

Audit Fees and Services

The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Deloitte for services rendered over the prior two fiscal years.

(1) Audit fees are the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of quarterly financial statements for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

42


Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval policy, under which the Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services that are expected to be provided by the outside auditor. Any engagement to provide audit or non-audit services that has not been pre-approved through that process must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the outside auditor. All of the services provided by Deloitte to us since their appointment were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Our Board recommends a vote FOR the resolution to authorize the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and to authorize the Audit Committee to set the remuneration of Deloitte for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2027.

43


Audit Committee Report*

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and SEC. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 for filing with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Loss of Emerging Growth Company Status

As of June 30, 2026, we ceased to qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act because June 30, 2026 was the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering occurred. As a result, we are no longer entitled to rely on the exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. Accordingly, this Proxy Statement includes the executive compensation disclosures required for registrants that are not emerging growth companies, including the Pay versus Performance disclosure required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Because this is the first proxy statement in which we are required to provide the Pay Versus Performance disclosure following the loss of our emerging growth company status, we are using the transition provisions of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and are presenting three years of required information. We expect to add one additional year of information in each of the next two annual proxy statements in which the Pay Versus Performance disclosure is required.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion & Analysis ("CD&A") describes the compensation of the following executive officers, whom we refer to as our named executive officers or "NEOs." For fiscal year 2026, our named executive officers and the positions each held as of June 30, 2026 were:

Fiscal Year 2026 Incentive Plan Structure and Payouts

Target Pay Mix

In alignment with our compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee believes a significant at-risk pay structure is appropriate to incentivize progress toward our nearer- and longer-term financial and strategic growth objectives. In fiscal year 2026, 77.3% of our CEO's total target pay opportunity and 73.2% of our other NEO’s total target pay opportunity on average was ‘at-risk,’ with value tied to the achievement of pre-set performance goals or stock price appreciation.

Compensation Program Design

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee is focused on maintaining an executive compensation program that supports ibex’s business strategy, reinforces a performance-oriented culture and aligns the interests of our executive leadership team with those of our shareholders. Our program is intended to attract, motivate and retain experienced leaders with the capabilities necessary to advance a global, client-focused business while delivering sustainable, long-term value creation.

In establishing compensation opportunities for our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the scope and complexity of each executive’s role, individual experience and contributions, Company performance, retention considerations and competitive, market-based compensation data for comparable positions. The Compensation Committee seeks to maintain an appropriate balance between fixed and variable compensation, with a meaningful portion of each executive’s total compensation opportunity linked to the achievement of Company performance objectives directly tied to our ability to create shareholder value.

The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are as follows:

•Align pay with achievement of long-term growth, financial and operational objectives;

•Attract, retain and motivate high-caliber executive leaders;

•Promote a long-term ownership mindset and alignment with shareholder experience; and

•Maintain robust governance practices that support responsible risk-taking and value creation.

Compensation Determination Process

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter and is responsible for reviewing and approving or making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers, overseeing management evaluations, and reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding incentive compensation and equity plans.

The Chief Executive Officer’s performance is assessed annually through a written evaluation reviewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board Chair, which informs compensation decisions. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in Compensation Committee deliberations regarding his own compensation. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board and the Compensation Committee receive input from management and retain and receive advice from an independent compensation consultant.

48


The Compensation Committee monitors and assesses risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices, including whether those policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of the named executive officers, other than himself, based on their performance and contributions. The Chief People Officer and Chief Legal Officer also support the Compensation Committee in the administration, design and benchmarking of the Company’s compensation programs. The Compensation Committee retains ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving executive compensation decisions.

Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has retained Exequity LLP (“Exequity”) as its independent compensation consultant. Exequity reports directly to the Compensation Committee, attends committee meetings at the Compensation Committee’s request, and performs no services for the Company other than those directed by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has assessed Exequity’s independence under the factors specified in the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and has concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Exequity from providing independent advice to the Compensation Committee.

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program balances fixed and variable pay, and short- and long-term incentives to align compensation outcomes with our strategic objectives and shareholder interests.

Peer Group

The Compensation Committee uses peer group data as an important reference point in its compensation decision-making, including in evaluating target compensation levels and pay-for-performance alignment, designing incentive programs, assessing equity utilization and reviewing executive compensation policies and practices. However, the Company does not target a specific percentile within the peer group for any element of its executive compensation program.

In selecting and evaluating peer companies, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, considers a range of factors, including:

49


•ibex’s competitive market for executive talent;

•Industry comparability;

•Organizational size and operating characteristics;

•Scope and scale of operations; and

•Prevailing governance practices.

The Compensation Committee recognizes that a company may be a relevant business peer but not an appropriate compensation peer if its size, scale or organizational complexity differs meaningfully from the Company. Because few companies are directly comparable across every relevant dimension, the Committee does not expect each individual peer to align with the Company on all criteria. Instead, it seeks to construct a peer group that, in the aggregate, provides an appropriate and balanced benchmark for the Company’s executive compensation program.

Fiscal Year 2026 Peer Group

Our fiscal year 2026 peer group consisted of the following fourteen companies:

Concentrix CorporationGrid Dynamics Holdings, Inc.QuinStreet, Inc.
DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc.Information Services Group, Inc.TaskUs, Inc.
ExlService Holdings, Inc.Mastech Digital, Inc.TechTarget, Inc.
Five9, Inc.PagerDuty, Inc.TTEC Holdings, Inc.
Fluent, Inc.Q2 Holdings, Inc.

As part of the fiscal 2027 compensation review cycle, the Compensation Committee worked with its independent compensation consultant to review and update the Company’s peer group. The review was designed to ensure the peer group continues to reflect appropriately comparable companies based on such factors as revenue, operating focus, market capitalization and assets, organizational complexity, geographic footprint, industry profile and financial relevance, while also accounting for M&A activity.

The fiscal 2027 peer group was developed with the following considerations:

1.Competitors and related industries. The Compensation Committee identifies publicly traded companies listed on major U.S. exchanges that compete with the Company for business, executive talent or both, or operate in related industries. Primary consideration was given to companies classified within the Data Processing and Outsourced Services industry, companies in the Advertising, Application Software, Interactive Media and Services and IT Consulting industries.

2.Relative size. The Compensation Committee evaluated potential peers relative to the Company’s size, generally considering companies with revenues of approximately 0.35x to 2.5x and market capitalizations of approximately 0.25x to 4.0x the Company’s revenue and market capitalization, respectively.

3.Qualitative evaluation. The Compensation Committee applied judgment to assess the overall comparability and business fit of potential peers, including factors such as business model, service offerings, operating profile, geographic footprint and competition for executive talent.

50


As a result of these considerations, the Company made the following changes to the peer group for fiscal year 2027, and the final fiscal year 2027 peer group is listed below.

2026 Executive Compensation Program

Base Salary

The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. Each NEO's initial base salary was provided in his or her employment agreement, and the base salaries of the Company's executives are reviewed and, if appropriate, adjusted on an annual basis.

In August 2025, the Committee approved market-based base salary adjustments for certain executives, including Mr. Afdahl based on market benchmarks, demonstrated leadership and contributions to the Company’s strategic and operational priorities.

2.Mr. Darwal and Mr. Ringman were not named executive officers in fiscal year 2025.

Management Incentive Plan

All named executive officers are eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), which is designed to incentivize the achievement of rigorous financial and operational objectives that support the Company’s annual progress toward long-term strategic objectives.

For fiscal year 2026, the MIP was based on two financial performance measures:

•Adjusted EBITDA (75% weighting); and

•Revenue (25% weighting).

The Compensation Committee selected Adjusted EBITDA as the primary performance measure because it reflects the Company’s ability to translate revenue into profitable growth and provides a meaningful measure of operating performance. Revenue serves as a complementary measure of topline performance and reinforces management team’s focus on client growth, service delivery and expansion of customer relationships. Together, these measures are intended to balance growth and profitability and align annual incentive outcomes with the Company’s key financial priorities.

Revenue is defined as the reported Revenue in the Company's quarterly and annual financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA is defined per Appendix A - Non-GAAP Measures except that it is calculated pre-incentive awards for the purposes of the MIP awards. MIP awards, if any, are calculated after finalization and release of the Company's financial results for the quarter or full year, as applicable, and are approved by the Company's Board, pursuant to recommendations by the Company's CEO, CFO and the Compensation Committee.

52


The MIP is structured to require meaningful performance before any incentive is earned. No payout is provided for performance results below threshold performance level. At the respective threshold performance levels, participants earn 50% of the applicable target opportunity, while achievement of 100% of the applicable performance goal is required to earn a target payout. Except for the limited overachievement discretionary payout described below, payouts for the Adjusted EBITDA metric are capped at 100% of target, even if actual performance results exceed the established target performance level. For performance results that fall between established threshold and target achievement levels, payout is determined using linear interpolation.

If the full-year Adjusted EBITDA target is exceeded, then 20% of the Adjusted EBITDA over-attainment (the amount the Actual Adjusted EBITDA exceeded the MIP target Adjusted EBITDA) may be used for discretionary payouts at the sole discretion of the Company's CEO. Importantly, the accelerator applies only when actual Adjusted EBITDA exceeds the budgeted level, directly linking above-target incentive payouts to incremental profitability.

The amount of a participant's payout, if any, equals the product of (1) a participant's base salary at the time payment is calculated, (2) adjusted for any time not active in the plan, (3) times the participant's incentive percent eligibility, (4) times the payout percentage.

For fiscal 2026, named executive officers were eligible to receive payments during the first three fiscal quarters, each equal to one-eighth of their annual target incentive opportunity provided that the quarter's threshold performance goal is met. These payments are deducted from the final incentive payout determined based on full-year performance. The quarterly payment structure is designed to incentivize strong performance throughout the year while maintaining accountability for full-year results, which ultimately determine the annual incentive earned under the MIP.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Fiscal Year 2026 Grants

The Compensation Committee believes that equity-based compensation is an important tool for attracting, retaining and motivating the executive talent necessary to execute our long-term strategy. Our long-term incentive program is designed to align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders by linking a meaningful portion of compensation to sustained Company performance and long-term shareholder value creation, while encouraging disciplined decision-making and discouraging excessive risk-taking.

For fiscal year 2026, 50% of each executive’s long-term incentive opportunity was granted in the form of Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”), with the remaining 50% granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”).

2.Mr. Ringman was awarded 15,000 RSUs and 15,000 PSUs in November 2025 as part of his compensation package in his employment agreement.

55


Fiscal Year 2026 PSUs

The PSUs are earned based on the pre-set Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance hurdles measured relative to the performance peer group companies, directly linking realized compensation to our performance relative to relevant peers, which include the following publicly listed U.S. and global companies:

Concentrix CorporationRussell 2000 IndexTTEC Holdings Inc.
Conduent IncorporatedTaskUs, Inc.
ExlService Holdings, Inc.Teleperformance SE

To reinforce a sustained focus on shareholder value creation, the PSUs are divided into three equal tranches, each measured based on relative TSR over a progressively longer performance period commencing on July 1, 2025:

•One-third is measured over the one-year period ending June 30, 2026;

•One-third is measured over the two-year period ending June 30, 2027; and

•One-third is measured over the three-year period ending June 30, 2028.

For each performance period, the percentage of target PSUs earned is determined based on the Company’s relative TSR percentile ranking as follows:

Relative TSR Percentile RankingPayout (% of Target)
Below 33rd percentile—
33rd percentile25%
55th percentile100%
99th percentile or above200%

TSR for ibex and its peers is calculated using the volume-weighted average stock price over the 30- trading days ending on the last day of each applicable performance period, including the value of dividends paid during such period.

The Compensation Committee approved a performance peer group for measuring relative TSR performance to incentivize ibex's value creation relative to companies competing with us for the same or closely related business. The Compensation Committee also included the Russell 2000 Index as a broader market benchmark, recognizing the wide range of investment alternatives available to shareholders and seeking to incentivize outperformance relative to the broader market.

If the Company’s absolute TSR is zero or negative for a performance period, the PSUs eligible to vest for that Performance Period will be capped at 100% of the applicable performance period target amount, regardless of the Company’s relative TSR percentile rank.

Depending on the Company’s TSR relative to the performance peer group during each applicable performance period, executives may earn up to 200% of the target number of PSUs. The aggregate value of the PSUs at vesting is capped at five times the grant-date fair market value of the target award, regardless of the level of relative TSR achievement or appreciation in the Company’s stock price.

Payouts for performance between the applicable achievement levels are determined using linear interpolation.

2.Mr. Ringman's PSUs were certified on September 30, 2026 and per the terms of his grant document, the TSR was calculated using the 30-trading day period commencing on July 1, 2025, rather than ending July 1, 2025, which resulted in a relative TSR percentile of 81 for such period and a corresponding 181% payout.

Employment Compensation PSU Grant to Mr. Darwal

On February 11, 2026, as part of Mr. Darwal's employment compensation package for his promotion to Chief AI and Digital Officer, the Compensation Committee approved an equity award of 25,000 PSUs that vest in 5,000 share increments subject to achievement of five separate AI revenue performance triggers. As of June 30, 2026, none of these performance triggers had been met.

Fiscal Year 2026 RSUs

RSUs are designed to promote the retention and continuity of key executive talent while aligning executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. The awards vest in equal annual installments over four years, reinforcing the program’s long-term orientation, while their value is directly tied to the Company’s share price over the vesting period, aligning realized compensation with the shareholder experience.

One-Time Special Award for Mr. Darwal

The Compensation Committee also approved a one-time special equity award of 3,000 RSUs to Michael Darwal in September 2025, in connection with his strong individual performance, expanded leadership responsibilities and the strategic importance of his role in advancing the Company’s digital and operational priorities. The award was designed to recognize the increased scope of his responsibilities, strengthen alignment with long-term shareholder interests and support his continued retention, while bringing his long-term compensation opportunity more closely in line with relevant market benchmarks for comparable roles at peer companies.

57


Employment Related Grants

As part of their overall compensation package, the Compensation Committee approved an equity award of 15,000 RSUs to Mr. Ringman upon his joining the Company in October, 2025; and 25,000 RSUs to Mr. Darwal, upon his promotion to Chief AI and Digital Officer in January 2026. Each grant vests in equal annual installments over a period of four years, commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to their continued service to the Company on each applicable grant date.

Fiscal Year 2025 PSU Grant Performance Results

In September 2025, the Company certified the performance results for the first tranche of the PSUs granted during fiscal year 2025 on November 8, 2024, which were based on the Company’s TSR relative to a defined performance peer group over the fiscal year 2025 performance period, and in September 2026, the Company certified the performance results for the second tranche of the PSUs granted on November 8, 2024, which were based on the Company's TSR relative to substantially the same peer group over the fiscal years 2024-2026 performance period, in each case as further described below.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan for its employees in the United States, including the named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees, including matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of applicable employee contributions and 50% of the next 2% of such contributions. The Company does not maintain any defined benefit pension plans or non-qualified deferred compensation plans in which the named executive officers are eligible to participate.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

All of our full-time employees in the United States, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in health and welfare plans, including medical, dental and vision benefits, medical and dependent care flexible spending and health savings accounts, short-term and long-term disability insurance and life insurance.

We believe the benefits described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our employees, including our NEOs.

Clawback Policy

The Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan contains clawback provisions, revised in connection with the 2025 amendment and restatement, together with whistleblower protection provisions. The Company has a comprehensive Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy, as required under Nasdaq rules, that applies in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws (including any such correction that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period), the Company will recover on a reasonably prompt basis the amount of any Incentive-Based Compensation (as defined in the policy) received by a covered executive during the recovery period that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial statements. This policy is administered by the Compensation Committee.

Incentive-Based Compensation is defined as any compensation granted, earned, or vested based in whole or in part on the Company’s attainment of a financial reporting measure that was received by a person (i) on or after October 2, 2023 and after the person began service as a covered executive, and (ii) who served as a covered executive at any time during the performance period for the Incentive-Based Compensation. A financial reporting measure is (i) any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements and any measure derived wholly or in part from such a measure, and (ii) any measure based in whole or in part on the Company’s stock price or total shareholder return.

60


The above description of the Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy is only a summary of its principal terms and provisions and is qualified by reference to the actual text as set forth in the full copy, filed as Exhibit 97 to our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Timing of Grants

Grants are not made by the Company if it is determined by the Insider Trading Officer that its officers and directors are likely to be in possession of any material nonpublic information. Other than described above, the Company does not take into account material nonpublic information to determine the timing or terms of any such equity grant, and the Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purposes of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal year 2026, Karen Batungbacal and Mingzhe (JJ) Zhuang served on the Compensation Committee. No member of the Compensation Committee was, during fiscal 2026, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, formerly an officer of the Company or had any relationship requiring disclosure by the Company as a related party transaction under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. During fiscal 2026, none of the Company’s executive officers served on the board or the compensation committee of any other entity having officers that served on either the Company’s Board or the Compensation Committee.

1.Amounts reflect the base salary in effect for and actually paid to the NEOs in the years shown. For more information on base salaries and increases, please see "Executive Compensation Arrangements" below.

2.For fiscal 2024, amounts represent the discretionary Fast Track Bonuses paid to Mr. Dechant and Mr. Afdahl following the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. For more information, please see "Elements of the Company's Executive Compensation Program - 2024 Bonuses" in our proxy statement filed with the SEC on October 28, 2024. For fiscal year 2025, Mr. Dechant earned a $100 bonus in recognition of his tenure with the Company. For fiscal year 2026, Mr. Afdahl earned a $100 bonus in recognition of his tenure with the Company; Mr. Darwal earned $2,539 in sales commissions for his previous position of President of ibex Digital.

3.Amounts for fiscal year 2026 reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based and performance-based restricted share units granted to the NEOs during fiscal year 2026, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using a Monte Carlo valuation model for the performance-based awards, with the exception of the performance based restricted share grant to Mr. Darwal. See footnote 11 (Stock-Based Compensation) to the Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 for an explanation of the assumptions made by the Company in the valuation of the awards shown in these columns. The values reported above for performance-based restricted share units are based on the probable outcome as of the grant date. The values for such performance-based restricted share units, assuming the achievement of the performance goals at the maximum level, would be as follows for each NEO: Mr. Dechant - $1,416,960; Mr. Greenwald - $432,960; Mr. Afdahl - $346,368; Mr. Darwal - $754,250; and Mr. Ringman - $1,678,800. Amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based units granted during fiscal year 2026, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. These amounts may not correspond to the actual value eventually realized by each NEO because the value depends on the achievement of goals and market value of our common stock at the time the award vests.

4.Amounts reflect annual cash bonuses earned by the NEOs for the years shown. Under the annual bonus plan, the NEOs were each eligible to receive bonuses determined as a percentage of their respective base salaries based on the achievement of pre-established financial and operational metrics. For more information, please see "Fiscal Year 2026 MIP Payout Structure" above.

5.    Amounts reflect, for Messrs. Dechant, Greenwald, Afdahl, and Darwal, Company contributions to their respective accounts under the Company’s 401(k) plan.

Darwal and Ringman vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the respective date of grant.
4. The amounts reported in the Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards column are computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For PSUs, the value is based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, as applicable, and disclosed in Note 11 (Stock-based Compensation) within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 10, 2026.

2.Value realized on vesting is calculated by multiplying the number of shares vesting by the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the applicable vesting date.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

The following table and narrative provide information regarding the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided in the event of a "Qualifying Termination," which includes: (i) a termination of a NEO's employment without "cause," or (ii) a resignation by the NEO from their employment for "good reason," (each, as defined in their respective employment agreements or award agreements, as applicable), that occurs either within 12 months after a change in control of the Company (the "Change of Control Period") or outside the Change of Control Period. A "change in control" of the Company shall only be deemed to occur upon a change in ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of the assets of the Company, in each case as described in the Current LTIP and construed in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Payments and benefits are estimated assuming that the triggering event took place on the last business day of our 2026 fiscal year, June 30, 2026, and the price per share of our common stock is the closing price on Nasdaq as of June 30, 2026 ($30.37). There can be no assurance that a triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated below if such event were to occur on any other date or at any other price, or if any other assumption used to estimate potential payments and benefits is not correct. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any potential payments or benefits, any actual payments and benefits may be different. The NEOs are not entitled to any benefits upon a termination for cause, a termination by death or disability, or a resignation without good reason, all of which are detailed in each NEO's employment agreement.

In accordance with the terms of the current LTIP and each NEO's grant agreements, upon a Qualifying Termination that occurs within the Change of Control Period:

•RSUs: 100% of all unvested RSUs shall immediately vest upon the date of such Qualifying Termination event;

71


•PSUs that do not include a performance trigger based on TSR: 100% of all unvested PSUs shall immediately vest at the target level upon the date of such Qualifying Termination event; and

•PSUs that do include a performance trigger based on TSR: any unvested PSUs in respect of any incomplete performance period shall automatically become vested in an amount equal to two times the applicable performance period target amount.

For more information on each NEO's unvested RSUs and PSUs, see "Outstanding Equity Awards".

1.The payment of severance is contingent upon the NEO's timely execution and non-revocation of a separation agreement, with general waiver and release of claims agreement in the Company's customary form.

2.Represents 12 months of the NEO's annual salary in effect on June 30, 2026. In the event of a Qualifying Termination, this amount shall be paid in substantially equal installments over the 12 months following the Qualifying Termination, in accordance with the Company's normal payroll processing.

3.The amounts in this row reflects the estimated value of COBRA payments for the duration of the severance period of 12 months.

4.The amounts in this row reflect the value of accelerated vesting of unvested RSUs and PSUs. The value of accelerated vesting of RSUs and PSUs was calculated by multiplying the number of shares subject to accelerated vesting under the NEO's applicable award agreement by $30.37, which was the closing market price per share of our common stock on June 30, 2026.

2.    For each of 2026, 2025 and 2024, our total shareholder return was calculated as the yearly percentage change in our cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock, measured as the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for a period beginning with our closing price on the Nasdaq Stock Market on June 30, 2023 through and including the last day of the fiscal year covered (the “Measurement Period”), assuming dividend reinvestment, plus (ii) the difference between our stock price at the end and the beginning of the Measurement Period, divided by (b) our stock price at the beginning of the Measurement Period. Each of these yearly percentage changes was then applied to a deemed fixed investment of $100 at the beginning of the Measurement Period to produce the year-end values of such investment as of the end of fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, as applicable. Because fiscal years are presented in the table in reverse chronological order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.

3.    For purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure, our peer group is comprised of Concentrix Corporation (Nasdaq: CNXC), TaskUs, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASK), Teleperformance (Euronext Paris: TEP), TTEC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTEC), ExlService Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXLS) and Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT) (the “Peer Group”). For each of fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, our Peer Group TSR was calculated based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 through the Measurement Period, assuming dividend reinvestment for the entities in our Peer Group.

4.    Net income is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

5.    Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as set forth in Appendix A.

The following comparisons provide descriptions of the relationships between certain figures including in the Pay versus Performance table for each of 2026, 2025 and 2024, including a comparison between (i) the compensation actually paid to the PEO and the average compensation actually paid to our non-PEO NEOs and (ii) the performance measures of (a) our net income; (b) our cumulative total shareholder return and the total shareholder return of the peer group; and (c) Adjusted EBITDA.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transaction Policies and Procedures

We have written policies and procedures whereby our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving transactions between us or any of our subsidiaries and any related person (defined in the policy as to include any person who is or was (since the beginning of our last fiscal year) an executive officer, director or director nominee, a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Company's common shares, an immediate family member of either of the foregoing or a firm, corporation or other entity at which a person described in the foregoing serves as an officer or director or which he/she is a partner or principal or similar position or has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest), in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which one or more of such related persons has a direct or indirect material interest. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, the material terms of the transaction, the nature of the related party's interest in the transaction, the significance of the transaction to the related party and to the Company, the nature of the related party's relationship with the Company and whether the transaction would likely impair the judgment of a director or officer to act in the best interest of the Company.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that all of our employees and directors inform us of any material transaction or relationship that comes to their attention that could reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest. Further, at least annually, each director and executive officer will complete a detailed questionnaire that asks questions about any business relationship that may give rise to a conflict of interest and all transactions in which we are involved and in which the executive officer, a director or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest.

Related-Party Transactions

Since July 1, 2025, the Company has entered into or engaged in the following related party transactions.

The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 13,344,262 shares of Company common shares issued and outstanding as of October 9, 2026.

Unless otherwise indicated and subject to community property laws and similar laws, the Company believes that all parties named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common shares beneficially owned by them.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

This Proxy Statement is being provided to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on December 10, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (5:00 p.m. Atlantic Time), or at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

     Where is the Annual Meeting being held?

    The Board has determined that the Annual Meeting should be held online this year via live audio webcast in order to permit shareholders from any location with access to the Internet to participate. This format also reduces the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. The Company has endeavored to provide shareholders with the same rights and opportunities for participation in the Annual Meeting online as an in-person meeting.

    How can I participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting Online?

    Shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 9, 2026, the record date, are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote and ask questions, shareholders of record should go to the Annual Meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IBEX2026, enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card and follow the instructions on the website.

If your shares are held in street name and your voting instruction form indicates that you may vote those shares through the http://www.proxyvote.com website, then you may access, participate in, and vote at the Annual Meeting with the 16-digit access code indicated on that voting instruction form. Otherwise, shareholders who hold their shares in street name should contact their bank, broker or other nominee (preferably at least 5 business days before the Annual Meeting) and obtain a “legal proxy” in order to be able to attend, participate in, or vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (5:00 p.m. Atlantic Time) on December 10, 2026. Online check-in will begin at approximately 3:45 p.m. Eastern Time (4:45 p.m. Atlantic Time), and

81


we encourage you to provide sufficient time before the Annual Meeting begins to check-in. Technicians will be available to assist you with any difficulties you may have accessing the Annual Meeting. We will make a replay of the Annual Meeting available on our Investor Relations website until the next annual meeting.

Shareholders may submit questions before and during the Annual Meeting at the meeting website. We plan to answer as many questions as possible during the time permitted. A list of answers to appropriate investor questions received before and during the Annual Meeting will be available on the Investor Relations page of our website as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting. More information regarding the question and answer process, including the number and types of questions permitted, the time allotted for questions, and how questions will be recognized, answered, and disclosed, will be available in the meeting rules of conduct, which will be posted on the Annual Meeting website before and during the meeting.

What proposals will be addressed at the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders will be asked to consider the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

1.Set the number of directors of the Company at a maximum of eight directors (in accordance with customary practice for Bermuda companies and as required by the Bye-laws of the Company);

2.Elect the eight nominees for director named in this Proxy Statement to hold office until the earlier of the next annual general meeting of shareholders or their resignation, death, or removal;

3.Authorize the Board to fill any vacancy on the Board;

4.Approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;

5.Approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the frequency of shareholder votes to approve our named executive officers' compensation;

6.Approve the amendment to Bye-Law 74 to adopt a simple majority vote standard for Bye-law amendments;

7.Approve the amendment to the Ibex Limited Amended and Restated 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan; and

8.Approve the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and authorize the Audit Committee, acting on behalf of the Board, to fix the remuneration of Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2027 (in accordance with legal requirements applicable to Bermuda companies).

We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR Proposals 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8, ONE YEAR for Proposal 5, and FOR each director nominee set forth in Proposal 2.

Who may vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

Shareholders who owned the Company’s common shares, par value $0.000111650536 per share, as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 9, 2026 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 13,344,262 common shares issued and outstanding.

82


How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present or represented by proxy. Our Bye-laws provide that, subject to the rules of Nasdaq, the quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders is one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy and representing in excess of 25% of the total issued voting shares in the Company throughout the meeting. Nasdaq listing rules, however, will require the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders representing at least 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common voting stock to constitute a quorum. Shareholder abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the number of shareholders present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

How many votes do I have?

Each common share is entitled to one vote on each matter that comes before the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials were sent directly to you by the Company. The Company’s transfer agent and registrar is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge").

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are typically contained in a “voting instruction form.”

What is the proxy card?

The proxy card enables you to appoint Robert Dechant, our Chief Executive Officer, and Christy O’Connor, our Chief Legal Officer and Assistant Secretary, as your proxies at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing Mr. Dechant and Ms. O’Connor to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is strongly recommended that you complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

If I am a shareholder of record of the Company’s shares, how do I vote?

Before the Annual Meeting, you may vote:

    ●    By mail, by completing, signing, and dating your proxy card

    ●    Online at www.proxyvote.com

    ●    By telephone, at 1-800-690-6903

    During the Annual Meeting, you may vote online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IBEX2026.

83


If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, how do I vote?

    Beneficial owners should check their voting instruction form for how to vote in advance of and how to participate in the Annual Meeting.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy.

Brokers holding shares must vote according to specific voting instructions they receive from the beneficial owners of those shares. If brokers do not receive specific instructions, brokers may in some cases vote the shares in their discretion but are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may elect not to vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions. Brokers do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Proposals 1 through 7 are non-routine matters under applicable rules. Proposal 8 (ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm) is a routine matter. Voting your shares will help to ensure that your interests are represented at the Annual Meeting. If you do not provide voting instructions and the broker elects to vote your shares on some but not all matters, it will result in a ‘broker non-vote’ for the matters on which the broker does not vote. Broker non-votes will be considered as present for quorum purposes, but they are not considered as votes cast and will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on any of the other proposals.

What vote is required to elect directors?

Directors are elected by the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

What vote is required to approve Proposals 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8?

Approval of Proposals 1, 3, 4, 7 and 8 requires the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

With respect to Proposal 5, the option of one year, two years, or three years that receives the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be approved, unless none of the three frequency choices receives a majority of the votes cast, in which case the option that receives the affirmative vote of the greatest number of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been recommended by our stockholders.

Pursuant to current Bye-law 74, approval of Proposal 6 requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on these proposals.

Can I change my vote after I have voted?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may vote again by signing and returning a new proxy card or voting instruction form with a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting online and voting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting online will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Annual Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering to the Company’s Assistant Secretary at 500 Penn Center Blvd., Suite 302, Pittsburgh, PA 15235 a written notice of revocation prior to the Annual Meeting.

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank, or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting instruction form provided to you by the broker, bank, or other nominee.

84


What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

If you sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be voted FOR each of the director nominees, for ONE YEAR for Proposal 5 and FOR each of Proposals 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by Broadridge and published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company will file with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

Who bears the cost of soliciting proxies?

The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies and will reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses involved in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners or soliciting their execution. In addition to solicitations by mail, the Company, through its directors and officers, may solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by electronic means. Such directors and officers will not receive any special remuneration for these efforts.

OTHER MATTERS

Other Business

We are not currently aware of any business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than the matters discussed in this Proxy Statement. The form of proxy accompanying this proxy statement confers discretionary authority upon the named proxy holders with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If other matters do properly come before the Annual Meeting, or at any such adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting, we expect that shares of our common shares, represented by properly submitted proxies, will be voted by the proxy holders in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

To comply with the universal proxy rules, if a shareholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees, then our Assistant Secretary must receive proper written notice that sets forth all information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act to the Assistant Secretary at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 825, Washington, DC 20006 no later than the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on October 11, 2027 (or, if the 2027 Annual Meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after December 10, 2027, then notice must be provided not later than 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting or the 10th calendar day

85


following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting is first made by the Company).

Bermuda Law Proposals. In addition, Section 79 of the Companies Act provides that (i) any number of shareholders representing not less than 5% of the total voting power of the shares eligible to vote at a general meeting of shareholders, or (ii) not less than 100 shareholders may propose any resolution which may properly be moved at the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Upon timely receipt of notice, we shall, at the expense of such shareholder(s), give our other shareholders entitled to receive notice of the next annual general meeting of shareholders notice of such proposed resolution. To be timely, the proposal requiring notice of a resolution must be deposited at our registered office at least six weeks before the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders satisfying the criteria of Section 79 may also require us to circulate a statement in respect of any matter to come before an annual general meeting of shareholders by notice deposited at our registered office in the manner provided by the Companies Act.

Householding Information

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of the proxy materials to any household at which two or more shareholders reside. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household, helps to reduce our expenses, and can benefit the environment. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together, both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions: If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact Christy O’Connor at our offices by sending a written request to 500 Penn Center Blvd., Suite 302, Pittsburgh, PA 15235 or by calling 202-702-4478, to inform us of his or her request; or if a bank, broker, or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker, or other nominee directly.

Where You Can Find More Information

We file annual and quarterly reports and other reports and information with the SEC. We distribute to our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and, upon request, quarterly reports for the first three quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited financial information. In addition, the reports and other information are filed through Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (known as “EDGAR”) system and are publicly available on the SEC’s website, located at http://www.sec.gov.

We will provide without charge to you, upon written or oral request, a copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, including the financial statements and schedules. Any requests for copies of information, reports or other filings with the SEC should be directed to Christy O’Connor, Assistant Secretary, IBEX Limited, 500 Penn Center Blvd., Suite 302, Pittsburgh, PA 15235.

APPENDIX A

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more helpful depiction of our performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and manageable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income / (loss) or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities for the period, or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income before the effect of the following items: severance costs, impairment losses, gains or losses on asset disposals, gains or losses on lease terminations, foreign currency gains and losses, and stock-based compensation expense, net of the tax impact of such adjustments. We define adjusted net income margin as adjusted net income divided by revenue. We define adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

We use adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share are meaningful indicators of performance as it reflects what we believe is closer to the actual results of our business performance by removing items that we believe are not reflective of our underlying business. We also believe that adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share may be widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance.

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, investors should consider adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share in conjunction with other U.S. GAAP financial performance measures, including net income from operations and net income, among others.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin

EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income before the effect of the following items: interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents EBITDA before the effect of the following items: interest income, severance costs, impairment losses, gains or losses on asset disposals, gains or losses on lease terminations, foreign currency gains and losses, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance. We may use adjusted EBITDA as a vesting trigger in some performance-based restricted share units. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are meaningful indicators of the health of our business as they provide additional information to investors about certain non-cash or non-recurring charges that we believe may not continue at the same level in the future or be reflective of our long-term performance. We also believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted

88


EBITDA margin are widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

•although depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our discretionary use, as they do not reflect: (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) debt service requirements; (iii) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (iv) other cash costs that may recur in the future;

•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these and other limitations, investors should consider EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial performance measures, including cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, net income, net income margin, and other financial results.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA and net income margin to adjusted EBITDA margin for the years presented:

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. While we believe that free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our liquidity position in the same manner as our management, our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may adjust their cash flows differently, which may reduce the value of free cash flow as a comparative measure. The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow, for the years presented:

Net cash

Net cash is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents cash and cash equivalents less total debt. We believe that net cash provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our ability to pay off debt. Our use of net cash has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may adjust their cash or debt differently, which may reduce the value of net cash as a comparative measure.

(d)Non-Uniform Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the Award Agreements evidencing such Awards, and the ramifications of a Change in Control upon outstanding Awards) need not be uniform and may be made by the Administrator selectively among Awards or persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

(e)Limited Liability; Advisors. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Administrator, nor any director, officer, employee or representative of IBEX shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.

(f)Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, by IBEX’s bye-laws, and by any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time, the members of the Administrator and any agent or delegate of the Administrator who is a director, officer or employee of IBEX or an Affiliate shall be indemnified by IBEX against any and all liabilities and expenses to which they may be subjected by reason of any act or failure to act with respect to their duties on behalf of the Plan.

(g)Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All actions taken and determinations made by the Administrator on all matters relating to the Plan or any Award pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Administrator’s sole and absolute discretion, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, including, without limitation, any determination involving the appropriateness or equitableness of any action. All determinations made by the Administrator shall be conclusive, final and binding on all parties concerned, including IBEX, any Participants and any other employee, or director of IBEX and its Affiliates, and their respective successors in interest. No member of the Administrator, nor any director, officer, employee or representative of IBEX shall be

94


personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or Awards.

5.Shares Issuable Pursuant to Awards.

(a)Initial Share Pool. Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 10 of the Plan, the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to Awards that may be granted under the Plan shall equal 3,637,326.13 Common Shares (the “Share Pool”) (which consists of the original 1,287,326.13 Common Shares approved as of the Adoption Date, an additional 700,000 Common Shares added as of the First Amendment Date, an additional 650,000 Common Shares added as of the Amendment and Restatement Date, and an additional 1,000,000 Common Shares added as of the Second Amendment Date).

(i) The Share Pool shall be reduced by one share for each Common Share made subject to an Award granted under the Plan (for the avoidance of doubt, Awards which by their terms are cash-settled shall not reduce the Share Pool);

(ii)The Share Pool shall be increased, on the relevant date, by the number of unissued Common Shares underlying or used as a reference measure for any Award or portion of an Award that is cancelled, forfeited, expired, terminated unearned or settled in cash granted under the Plan or the 2018 Plan, in any such case without the issuance of shares and by the number of Common Shares used as a reference measure for any Award that are not issued upon settlement of such Award either due to a net settlement or otherwise;

(iii)The Share Pool shall be increased, on the forfeiture date, by the number of Common Shares that are forfeited back to IBEX after issuance due to a failure to meet an Award contingency or condition with respect to any Award or portion of an Award granted under the Plan or the 2018 Plan;

(iv)The Share Pool shall be increased, on the exercise date, by the number of Common Shares withheld by or surrendered (either actually or through attestation) to IBEX in payment of the exercise price of any Award granted under the Plan or the 2018 Plan; and

(v)The Share Pool shall be increased, on the relevant date, by the number of Common Shares withheld by or surrendered (either actually or through attestation) to IBEX in payment of the Tax Withholding Obligation that arises in connection with any Award granted under the Plan or the 2018 Plan.

(vi)The Share Pool shall NOT be increased by any Common Shares reacquired by IBEX on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of share options.

(b)ISO Limit. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to share options granted under the Plan that are intended to qualify as Incentive Share Options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall be equal to 3,500,000 Common Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Common Shares added to the Share Pool on the First Amendment Date, the Amendment and Restatement Date, or the Second Amendment Date are eligible to be granted as Incentive Share Options.

95


(c)Source of Shares. The Common Shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares authorized for issuance under IBEX’s memorandum of association and bye- laws but unissued, or issued and reacquired, including without limitation shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.

(d)Non-Employee Director Award Limit. In addition, the Administrator may establish compensation for Non-Employee Directors from time to time, subject to the limitations in the Plan. The Administrator will from time to time determine the terms, conditions and amounts of all such Non-Employee Director compensation in its discretion and pursuant to the exercise of its business judgment, taking into account such factors, circumstances and considerations as it shall deem relevant from time to time, provided that the sum of any cash compensation and the grant date fair value of Awards (as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) granted under the Plan to a Non-Employee Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any calendar year of the Company may not exceed $450,000, provided however, in a Non-Employee Director’s first year of service compensation for services may not exceed $900,000 (such limits, the “Director Limits”).. The Administrator may make exceptions to this limit for individual Non-Employee directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, provided that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other compensation decisions involving Non-Employee Director.

6.Participation.

Participation in the Plan shall be open to all Eligible Individuals, as may be selected by the Administrator from time to time. The Administrator may also grant Awards to Eligible Individuals in connection with hiring, recruiting or otherwise, prior to the date the individual first performs services for IBEX or an Affiliate; provided, however, that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable and no shares shall be issued to such individual, prior to the date the individual first commences performance of such services.

7.Awards.

(a)Awards, In General. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall establish the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan consistent with the terms of the Plan. Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with other types of Awards, concurrently with or with respect to outstanding Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant receiving such Award upon, or as promptly as is reasonably practicable following, the grant of such Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, or otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, an Award shall not be effective unless the Award Agreement is signed or otherwise accepted by IBEX and the Participant receiving the Award (including by electronic delivery and/or electronic signature).

(b)Share Options.

(i) Grants. A share option means a right to purchase a specified number of Common Shares from IBEX at a specified price during a specified period of time. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of Incentive Share Options or Nonqualified Options; provided, however, that Awards of Incentive Share Options shall be limited to employees of IBEX or of any current or hereafter existing “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation,” as defined in

96


Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively, of IBEX, and any other Eligible Individuals who are eligible to receive Incentive Share Options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. No share option shall be an Incentive Share Option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant or in the applicable Award Agreement.

(ii)Exercise. Share options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that Awards of share options may not have a term in excess of ten years’ duration unless required otherwise by applicable law.

(iii)Termination of Service. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent share options are not vested and exercisable, a Participant’s share options shall be forfeited upon his or her Termination of Service.

(iv)No Dividends. Share options granted under this Plan may not provide for any dividends or Dividend Equivalents thereon.

(v)Additional Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of share options, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

(c)Limitation on Reload Options. The Administrator shall not grant share options under this Plan that contain a reload or replenishment feature pursuant to which a new share option would be granted automatically upon receipt of delivery of Common Shares to IBEX in payment of the exercise price or any tax withholding obligation under any other share option.

(d)Share Appreciation Rights.

(i) Grants. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of share appreciation rights. A share appreciation right entitles the Participant to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Share over (B) the base price per share specified in the Award Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the share appreciation right, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per share specified in the Award Agreement shall not be less than the lower of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant or the exercise price of any tandem share option to which the share appreciation right is related, or with respect to share appreciation rights that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company acquired by IBEX or a Subsidiary or with which IBEX or a Subsidiary combines (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or shares, or otherwise) such base price as is necessary to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards.

(ii)Exercise. Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that share appreciation rights granted under the Plan may not have a term in excess of ten years’ duration unless required

97


otherwise by applicable law. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether payment by IBEX of the amount receivable upon any exercise of a share appreciation right is to be made in cash or Common Shares or a combination of both, or shall reserve to the Administrator or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or upon the exercise of the share appreciation right. If upon the exercise of a share appreciation right a Participant is to receive a portion of such payment in Common Shares, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Share on the exercise date. No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.

(iii)Termination of Service. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent share appreciation rights are not vested and exercisable, a Participant’s share appreciation rights shall be forfeited upon his or her Termination of Service.

(iv)No Dividends. Share appreciation rights granted under this Plan may not provide for any dividends or Dividend Equivalents thereon.

(v)Additional Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of share appreciation rights, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

(e)Share Awards.

(i) Grants. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of unrestricted Common Shares or Restricted Shares (collectively, “Share Awards”) on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(b). Share Awards shall be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including via book-entry registration.

(ii)Vesting. Restricted Share shall be subject to such vesting, restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, and/or risk of forfeiture as the Administrator may impose at the date of grant or thereafter. The Restriction Period to which such vesting, restrictions and/or risk of forfeiture apply may lapse under such circumstances, including without limitation upon the attainment of Performance Goals, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator may determine. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Share.

(iii)Rights of a Shareholder; Dividends. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Shares, a Participant granted Restricted Shares shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of Common Shares including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Shares. Cash dividends declared payable on Common Shares shall be paid in cash or as unrestricted Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends or may be reinvested in additional Restricted Share as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that dividends declared payable on

98


Restricted Shares shall be held by IBEX and made subject to forfeiture until the underlying Restricted Shares vest. For the avoidance of doubt, any dividends or other distributions shall accrue and only be paid to the extent the corresponding portion of the award of Restricted Shares becomes vested. Shares distributed in connection with a share split or share dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Common Shares or other property has been distributed. As soon as is practicable following the date on which restrictions on any shares of Restricted Shares lapse, IBEX shall deliver to the Participant the certificates for such shares or shall cause the shares to be registered in the Participant’s name in book-entry form, in either case with the restrictions removed, provided that the Participant shall have complied with all conditions for delivery of such shares contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by IBEX.

(iv)Termination of Service. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon Termination of Service during the applicable Restriction Period, Restricted Shares and any accrued but unpaid dividends that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided that the Administrator may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Shares will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Administrator may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Shares.

(v)Additional Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of Restricted Shares, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

(f)Share Units.

(i) Grants. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of unrestricted share Units or Restricted Share Units on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(b). Restricted Share Units represent a contractual obligation by IBEX to deliver a number of Common Shares, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the specified number of shares subject to the Award, or a combination of Common Shares and cash, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement.

(ii)Vesting and Payment. Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such vesting, risk of forfeiture and/or payment provisions as the Administrator may impose at the date of grant. The Restriction Period to which such vesting and/or risk of forfeiture apply may lapse under such circumstances, including without limitation upon the attainment of Performance Goals, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator may determine. Common Shares, cash or a combination of Common Shares and cash, as applicable, payable in settlement of Restricted Share Units shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable, but no later than 30 days, after the date on which payment is due under the terms of the Award Agreement provided that the Participant shall have complied with all conditions for delivery of such shares or

99


payment contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by IBEX, or in accordance with an election of the Participant, if the Administrator so permits, that meets the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable).

(iii)No Rights of a Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents. Until Common Shares are issued to the Participant in settlement of share Units, the Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder of IBEX with respect to the share Units or the shares issuable thereunder. The Administrator may grant to the Participant the right to receive Dividend Equivalents on share Units; provided, however, that Dividend Equivalents payable on share Units shall be accrued and made subject to forfeiture until such share Units vest. For the avoidance of doubt, any Dividend Equivalents or other distributions shall accrue and only be paid to the extent the corresponding portion of the award of share Units becomes vested.

(iv)Termination of Service. Upon Termination of Service during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply, or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of Common Shares or cash to which such Restricted Share Units relate, all Restricted Share Units and any accrued but unpaid Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Restricted Share Units that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided that the Administrator may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Share Units will be waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Administrator may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Share Units.

(v)Additional Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of share Units, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

(g)Performance Shares and Performance Units.

(i) Grants. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards in the form of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Performance Shares, as that term is used in this Plan, shall refer to Common Shares or Units that are expressed in terms of Common Shares, the issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions on or payment of which is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined objectives over a specified Performance Period. Performance Units, as that term is used in this Plan, shall refer to dollar- denominated Units valued by reference to designated criteria established by the Administrator, other than Common Share, the issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions on or payment of which is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined objectives over a specified Performance Period. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether Performance Shares and Performance Units will be settled or paid in cash or Common Shares or a combination of both, or shall reserve to the Administrator or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or at the payment or settlement date.

(ii)Performance Criteria. The Administrator shall, prior to or at the time of grant, condition the grant, vesting or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, an Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units upon (A) the attainment of

100


Performance Goals during a Performance Period or (B) the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the Participant. The length of the Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the Administrator in the exercise of its absolute discretion. Performance Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of the Award or payout of Performance Shares or Performance Units or the vesting or lapse of restrictions with respect thereto based on the level attained. Performance Goals may be applied on a per share or absolute basis and relative to one or more Performance Metrics, or any combination thereof, and may be measured pursuant to any objective standards in a manner consistent with IBEX’s or its Subsidiary’s established accounting policies, all as the Administrator shall determine at the time the Performance Metrics for a Performance Period are established. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to the manner in which one or more of the Performance Goals is to be calculated or measured to take into account, or ignore, one or more of the following: (1) items related to a change in accounting principle; (2) items relating to financing activities;(3) expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; (4) other non-operating items; (5) items related to acquisitions; (6) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company during the Performance Period; (7) items related to the sale or disposition of a business or segment of a business; (8) items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (9) items attributable to any share dividend, share split, combination or exchange of share occurring during the Performance Period; (10) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (11) items relating to unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments, (12) items related to amortization of acquired intangible assets; (13) items that are outside the scope of the Company’s core, on-going business activities; (14) changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (15) items relating to changes in tax laws; (16) certain identified expenses (including, but not limited to, cash bonus expenses, incentive expenses and acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses); (17) items relating to asset impairment charges; (18) items relating to gains or unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable law, accounting principles or business conditions, or (19) or any other items selected by the Administrator. Shares or Performance Units shall be settled as and when the Award vests or at a later time specified in the Award Agreement or in accordance with an election of the Participant, if the Administrator so permits, that meets the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable).

(iii)Additional Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.

(h)Other Share-Based Awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards in the form of Other Share-Based Awards. Other Share-Based Awards in the form of Dividend Equivalents may be (A) awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award other than a share option or share appreciation right, (B) credited to an account for the Participant, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in Common Share equivalents, to be paid on a deferred basis, and (C) settled in cash or Common Shares as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that

101


Dividend Equivalents payable on Other Share-Based Awards shall be accrued and made subject to forfeiture until such Other Share-Based Awards vest. For the avoidance of doubt, any Dividend Equivalents or other distributions shall accrue and only be paid to the extent the corresponding portion of the Other Share-Based Award becomes vested.

(i)Awards to Participants Outside the United States. The Administrator may grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause IBEX or a Subsidiary to be subject to) tax, legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable in order that any such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country or jurisdiction in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed or to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan.

(j)Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Shares at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Common Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of share Units, shall only be permissible if sufficient shares are available under the Share Pool for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that sufficient shares are not available under the Share Pool for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form of a grant of share Units equal in number to the Common Shares that would have been obtained by such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which share Units shall provide for settlement in cash and for Dividend Equivalent reinvestment in further share Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 7(j).

8.Withholding of Taxes.

Participants and holders of Awards shall pay to IBEX or its Affiliate or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any Tax Withholding Obligation in respect of Awards granted under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax or social insurance contribution liability. The obligations of IBEX under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Tax Withholding Obligations may be settled in whole or in part with Common Shares, including unrestricted outstanding shares surrendered to IBEX and unrestricted shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the Tax Withholding Obligation, having a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or withholding equal to the statutory minimum amount (or such greater amount permitted under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Share Compensation, for equity-classified awards) required to be withheld for tax or social insurance contribution purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Administrator establishes. IBEX or its Affiliate may deduct, to the extent permitted by law, any such Tax Withholding Obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant or holder of an Award.

9.Transferability of Awards.

(a)General Nontransferability Absent Administrator Permission. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and in any event in the case of an Incentive Share Option or a tandem share appreciation right granted with respect to an Incentive Share Option, no Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Administrator shall not permit any transfer of an Award for value. An Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a legal

102


disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Awards granted under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the restrictions in this sentence shall not apply to the Common Shares received in connection with an Award after the date that the restrictions on transferability of such shares set forth in the applicable Award Agreement have lapsed. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as overriding the terms of any IBEX share ownership or retention policy, now or hereafter existing, that may apply to the Participant or Common Shares received under an Award.

(b)Administrator Discretion to Permit Transfers Other Than For Value. Except as otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Administrator may, but need not, permit an Award, other than an Incentive Share Option or a tandem share appreciation right granted with respect to an Incentive Share Option, to be transferred to a Participant’s Family Member (as defined below) as a gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights. The Administrator shall not permit any transfer of an Award for value. For purposes of this Section 9, “Family Member” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister- in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests. The following transactions are not prohibited transfers for value: (i) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; and (ii) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity.

10.Adjustments for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.

(a)Mandatory Adjustments. In the event of a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share rights offering, share exchange or similar event affecting IBEX (each, a “Corporate Event”) or a share dividend, share split, reverse share split, separation, spinoff, reorganization, extraordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination or subdivision, recapitalization, capital reduction distribution, or similar event affecting the capital structure of IBEX (each, a “Share Change”) that occurs at any time after the IPO Date (including any such Corporate Event or Share Change that occurs after such adoption and coincident with or prior to the IPO Date), the Administrator shall make equitable and appropriate substitutions or proportionate adjustments to (i) the aggregate number and kind of Common Shares or other securities on which Awards under the Plan may be granted to Eligible Individuals, (ii) the maximum number of Common Shares or other securities that may be issued with respect to Incentive Share Options granted under the Plan, (iv) the number of Common Shares or other securities covered by each outstanding Award and the exercise price, base price or other price per share, if any, and other relevant terms of each outstanding Award, and (v) all other numerical limitations relating to Awards, whether contained in this Plan or in Award Agreements; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated.

(b)Discretionary Adjustments. In the case of Corporate Events, the Administrator may make such other adjustments to outstanding Awards as it determines to be appropriate and desirable, which adjustments may include, without limitation, (i) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, securities or other property or a

103


combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Event with respect to which shareholders of IBEX receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Administrator that the value of a share option or share appreciation right shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Common Share pursuant to such Corporate Event over the exercise price or base price of such share option or share appreciation right shall conclusively be deemed valid and that any share option or share appreciation right may be cancelled for no consideration upon a Corporate Event if its exercise price or base price equals or exceeds the value of the consideration being paid for each Common Share pursuant to such Corporate Event), (ii) the substitution of securities or other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of IBEX and securities of entities other than IBEX) for the Common Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the substitution of equivalent awards, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, of the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof (“Substitute Awards”).

(c)Adjustments to Performance Goals. The Administrator may, in its discretion, adjust the Performance Goals applicable to any Awards to reflect any unusual or non-recurring events and other extraordinary items, impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations and the cumulative effects of accounting or tax changes, each as defined by generally accepted accounting principles or as identified in IBEX’s consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis or other IBEX filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Administrator determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of IBEX or the applicable subsidiary, business segment or other operational unit of IBEX or any such entity or segment, or the manner in which any of the foregoing conducts its business, or other events or circumstances, render the Performance Goals to be unsuitable, the Administrator may modify such Performance Goals or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Administrator deems appropriate and equitable.

(d)Statutory Requirements Affecting Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 10 to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A or Section 457A (to the extent applicable) of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code; (B) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 10 to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable) shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (1) continue not to be subject to Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable) or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable); (C) in any event, the Administrator shall not have the authority to make any adjustments pursuant to Section 10 to the extent the existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable) at the date of grant to be subject thereto; and (D) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 10 to Awards that are Incentive Share Options shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(e)Dissolution or Liquidation. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, all Awards outstanding under the Plan shall terminate upon the dissolution or liquidation of IBEX.

104


11.Change in Control Provisions.

(a)Termination of Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(b), in the event that any transaction resulting in a Change in Control occurs, outstanding Awards will terminate upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Awards by, or for the issuance therefor of Substitute Awards of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof. Solely with respect to Awards that will terminate as a result of the immediately preceding sentence and except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement:

(i)the outstanding Awards of share options and share appreciation rights that will terminate upon the effective time of the Change in Control shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, become fully exercisable and the holders of such Awards will be permitted, immediately before the Change in Control, to exercise the Awards;

(ii)the outstanding Restricted Shares the vesting or restrictions on which are then solely time-based and not subject to achievement of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, become fully vested, free of all transfer and lapse restrictions and free of all risks of forfeiture;

(iii)the outstanding Restricted Shares the vesting or restrictions on which are then subject to and pending achievement of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control and unless the Award Agreement provides for vesting or lapsing of restrictions in a greater amount upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, become vested, free of transfer and lapse restrictions and risks of forfeiture in such amounts as if the applicable Performance Goals for the unexpired Performance Period had been achieved at the target level set forth in the applicable Award Agreement;

(iv)the outstanding Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units the vesting, earning or settlement of which is then solely time-based and not subject to or pending achievement of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, become fully earned and vested and shall be settled in cash or Common Shares (consistent with the terms of the Award Agreement after taking into account the effect of the Change in Control transaction on the shares) as promptly as is practicable, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable); and

(v)the outstanding Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units the vesting, earning or settlement of which is then subject to and pending achievement of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control and unless the Award Agreement provides for vesting, earning or settlement in a greater amount upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, become vested and earned in such amounts as if the applicable Performance Goals for the unexpired Performance Period had been achieved at the target level set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be settled in cash or Common Shares (consistent with the terms of the Award Agreement after taking into account the effect of the Change in Control transaction on the shares) as promptly as is practicable, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by Section 409A of the Code. Implementation of the provisions

105


of this Section 11(a) shall be conditioned upon consummation of the Change in Control.

(b)Termination Without Cause Following Continuation, Assumption or Substitution of Awards. Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, in the event that (i) outstanding Awards are continued, assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control by the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof and (ii) within two (2) years following such Change in Control, a Participant experiences a Termination of Service as a result of a termination by the Company without Cause, then such continued, assumed or substituted awards held by such Participant shall become fully vested and exercisable upon such Termination of Service.

(c)Other Permitted Actions. In the event that any transaction resulting in a Change in Control occurs, the Administrator may take any of the actions set forth in Section 10 with respect to any or all Awards granted under the Plan.

(d)Section 409A or Section 457A Savings Clause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is considered to be a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code, this Section 11 shall apply to such Award only to the extent that its application would not result in the imposition of any tax or interest or the inclusion of any amount in income under Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code.

12.Substitution of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions.

Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for assumed awards held by employees, officers, or directors of entities who become employees, officers, or directors of IBEX or a Subsidiary as the result of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the entity for which they perform services with IBEX or a Subsidiary, or the acquisition by IBEX of the assets or shares of the such entity. The terms and conditions of any Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein to the extent that the Administrator deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform the Awards to the provisions of the assumed awards for which they are substituted and to preserve their intrinsic value as of the date of the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or acquisition transaction. To the extent permitted by applicable law and marketplace or listing rules of the primary securities market or exchange on which the Common Share is listed or admitted for trading, any available shares under a shareholder-approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards granted pursuant to this Section 12 and, upon such grant, shall not reduce the Share Pool.

13.Compliance with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration.

(a)The obligation of IBEX to sell or deliver Common Shares with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal, state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Share under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or Federal, state or foreign (non- United States) securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive Common Shares pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful. If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Shares under the Plan would or may violate the rules of any exchange on which IBEX’s securities are then listed for trade, the right to exercise an Award or receive Common Shares pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery would not violate such rules. If the

106


Administrator determines that the exercise or nonforfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate any applicable provision of securities laws or the listing requirements of any share exchange upon which any of IBEX’s equity securities are listed, then the Administrator may postpone any such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery, as applicable, but IBEX shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such exercise, nonforfeitability or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.

(b)Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator determines, in its absolute discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign (non-United States) law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Common Share, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Common Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator.

(c)In the event that the disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Common Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Administrator may require a person receiving Common Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Shares, to represent to IBEX in writing that the Common Shares acquired by such person is acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution and that such person will not dispose of the Common Shares so acquired in violation of Federal, state or foreign securities laws and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to issue the Common Shares in compliance with applicable Federal, state or foreign securities laws.

14.Section 409A and Section 457A Compliance.

It is the intention of IBEX that any Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code (to the extent applicable) shall comply in all respects with the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code to avoid the imposition of any tax or interest or the inclusion of any amount in income pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and the terms of each such Award shall be construed, administered and deemed amended, if applicable, in a manner consistent with this intention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither IBEX nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their directors, officers, employees, agents or other service providers will be liable for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on any Participant or other person with respect to any amounts paid or payable (whether in cash, Common Shares or other property) under any Award, including any applicable taxes, penalties or interest imposed under or as a result of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code. Any payments described in an Award that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. For purposes of any Award, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to a Participant that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the payment of Dividend Equivalents under any Award shall be construed as earnings and the time and form of payment of such Dividend Equivalents shall be treated separately from the time and form of payment of the underlying Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments (whether in cash, Common Shares or other property) to be

107


made with respect to the Award that become payable on account of the Participant’s separation from service, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, while the Participant is a “specified employee” (as determined in accordance with the uniform policy adopted by the Administrator with respect to all of the arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code maintained by IBEX and its Affiliates) and which would otherwise be paid within six months after the Participant’s separation from service shall be accumulated (without interest) and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of the Participant’s estate following the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrator exercise its discretion to accelerate the payment or settlement of an Award where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code section 409A unless, and solely to the extent that, such accelerated payment or settlement is permissible under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

15.Plan Duration; Amendment and Discontinuance.

(a)Plan Duration. The Plan shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Board or the Compensation Committee to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, until the earlier of (a) the earliest date as of which all Awards granted under the Plan have been satisfied in full or terminated and no Common Shares approved for issuance under the Plan remain available to be granted under new Awards or (b) December 5, 2035. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after such termination date. Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan on or before December 5, 2035 or such earlier termination of the Plan, shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.

(b)Amendment and Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board or Compensation Committee may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan; provided, that, if required to comply with Bermuda law and any other applicable laws or stock exchange rules or the rules of any automated quotation systems (other than any requirement which may be disapplied by the Company following any available home country exemption), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. No amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of a Participant with respect to a previously granted Award without such Participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law or rule of any securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences to IBEX or the Participant. Except as otherwise determined by the Board or Compensation Committee, termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

(c)Amendment of Awards.

(i)Subject to Section 7(f), the Administrator may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, but no such amendment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an Award without the Participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, applicable rule of any securities exchange on which the Common Share is listed or admitted for trading, or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences for the Participant or the Company or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an amendment to an Award that results in a change in the tax consequences of the Award to the Participant

108


shall not be considered to be a material impairment of the rights of the Participant and shall not require the Participant’s consent.

(ii)Except in connection with a corporate transaction or event described in Section 10 of this Plan or in connection with a Change in Control, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding share options or the base price of outstanding share appreciation rights, or cancel outstanding “underwater” share options or share appreciation rights (including following a Participant’s voluntary surrender of “underwater” share options or share appreciation rights) in exchange for cash, other awards or share options or share appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price of the original share option or base price of the original share appreciation right, as applicable, without shareholder approval. This Section 15(c)(ii) is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” share options and share appreciation rights and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 10 of this Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, this Section 15(c)(ii) may not be amended without approval by the Company’s shareholders.

16.General Provisions.

(a)Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual to continue in the service of IBEX or any Affiliate or shall interfere in any way with the right of IBEX or any Affiliate to terminate such service at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such termination results in (i) the failure of any Award to vest or become payable; (ii) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any Award; and/or (iii) any other adverse effect on the individual’s interests under any Award or the Plan. No person, even though deemed an Eligible Individual, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. To the extent that an Eligible Individual who is an employee of a Subsidiary receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that IBEX is the Participant’s employer or that the Participant has an employment relationship with IBEX.

(b)No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between IBEX and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any Participant or other person acquires a right to receive payments from IBEX pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of IBEX.

(c)Status of Awards. Awards shall be special incentive payments to the Participant and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Participant for purposes of determining any pension, retirement, death, severance or other benefit under (a) any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, insurance, severance or other employee benefit plan of IBEX or any Affiliate now or hereafter in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation or (b) any agreement between (i) IBEX or any Affiliate and (ii) the Participant, except as such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.

(d)Subsidiary Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual who provides services to any Subsidiary, IBEX may, if the Administrator so directs, issue or transfer the Common Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Administrator may specify, upon the condition or understanding

109


that the Subsidiary will transfer the Common Shares to the Eligible Individual in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All Common Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled after such issue or transfer of shares to the Subsidiary shall revert to IBEX.

(e)Governing Law and Interpretation. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Award Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to the Plan or such Award Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance with the applicable laws of Bermuda, except as otherwise set forth herein, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The captions of the Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. Except where the context otherwise requires: (i) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (ii) a reference to one gender includes other genders; (iii) a reference to a person includes a natural person, partnership, corporation, association, governmental or local authority or agency or other entity; and (iv) a reference to a statute, ordinance, code or other law includes regulations and other instruments under it and consolidations, amendments, re-enactments or replacements of any of them.

(f)Use of English Language. The Plan, each Award Agreement, and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to an Award shall be written in English, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. If a Participant receives an Award Agreement, a copy of the Plan or any other documents related to an Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version shall control.

(g)Recovery of Amounts Paid. Awards granted under this Plan are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy and any other clawback provisions, policy or policies (if any) as may be in effect from time to time, including any that specifically implement Section 10D of the Exchange Act, and any applicable rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including applicable rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Common Shares at any point may be traded) (collectively, the “Clawback Policy”), and applicable sections of any Award Agreement to which this Plan is applicable or any related documents shall be interpreted consistently with (or deemed superseded by and/or subject to, as applicable) the terms and conditions of the Clawback Policy. Further, by accepting any Award under this Plan, each Participant agrees (or has agreed) to fully cooperate with and assist the Company in connection with any of such Participant’s obligations to the Company pursuant to the Clawback Policy, and agrees (or has agreed) that the Company may enforce its rights under the Clawback Policy through any and all reasonable means permitted under applicable law as it deems necessary or desirable under the Clawback Policy, from and after the effective date thereof. Such cooperation and assistance shall include, but is not limited to, executing, completing and submitting any documentation necessary to facilitate the recovery or recoupment by the Company from such Participant of any such amounts, including from such Participants’ accounts or from any other compensation, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A.

(h)Acknowledgements. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Plan or in an Award Agreement or otherwise limits a Participant’s right to any monetary award offered by a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency (including the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and (ii) nothing in this Plan or in an Award Agreement

110


prevents a Participant from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity a Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

17.Glossary.

Under this Plan, except where the context otherwise indicates, the following definitions apply:

“Administrator” means the Compensation Committee, or such other committee(s) of director(s) duly appointed by the Board or the Compensation Committee to administer the Plan or delegated limited authority to perform administrative actions under the Plan, and having such powers as shall be specified by the Board or the Compensation Committee; provided, however, that at any time the Board may serve as the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to the Compensation Committee or such other committee(s) of director(s) to whom administrative authority has been delegated. With respect to any Award to which Section 16 of the Exchange Act applies, the Administrator shall consist of either the Board or a committee of the Board, which committee shall consist of two or more directors, each of whom is intended to be, to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, a “non- employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and an “independent director” to the extent required by the rules of the national securities exchange that is the principal trading market for the Common Share, provided that, with respect to Awards made to a member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company, Administrator means the Board. Any member of the Administrator who does not meet the foregoing requirements shall abstain from any decision regarding an Award and shall not be considered a member of the Administrator to the extent required to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

“Adoption Date” means the date the Plan was originally adopted by the Board.

“Affiliate” means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, IBEX or any successor to IBEX. For this purpose, “control” (including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall mean ownership, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting securities issued by such entity, or the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of such entity, by contract or otherwise.

“Award” means any share option, share appreciation right, share award, share unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, and/or Other Share-Based Award, granted under this Plan (or the 2018 Plan as applicable).

“Award Agreement” means the written document(s), including an electronic writing acceptable to the Administrator, and any notice, addendum or supplement thereto, memorializing the terms and conditions of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan and which shall incorporate the terms of the Plan.

“Board” means the Board of Directors of IBEX.

“Cause” means, with respect to a Participant, except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement (i) the Participant’s plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or conviction of, (A) a felony (or its equivalent in a non-United States jurisdiction) or (B) other conduct of a criminal nature that has or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the reputation or standing in the community of IBEX, any of its Affiliates or a successor to IBEX or an Affiliate, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, or that legally prohibits the Participant from working for IBEX, any of its Subsidiaries or a

111


successor to IBEX or a Subsidiary; (ii) a breach by the Participant of a regulatory rule that adversely affects the Participant’s ability to perform the Participant’s employment duties to IBEX, any of its Subsidiaries or a successor to IBEX or a Subsidiary, in any material respect; or (iii) the Participant’s failure, in any material respect, to (A) perform the Participant’s employment duties, (B) comply with the applicable policies of IBEX, or of its Subsidiaries, or a successor to IBEX or a Subsidiary, or (C) comply with covenants contained in any contract or Award Agreement to which the Participant is a party; provided, however, that the Participant shall be provided a written notice describing in reasonable detail the facts which are considered to give rise to a breach described in this clause (iii) and the Participant shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which the Participant may remedy the condition and, if so remedied, no Cause for Termination of Service shall exist.

“Change in Control” means the first of the following to occur: (i) a Change in Ownership of IBEX, (ii) a Change in Effective Control of IBEX, or (iii) a Change in the Ownership of Assets of IBEX, as described herein and construed in accordance with Code Section 409A.

(1) A “Change in Ownership of IBEX” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire, ownership of the capital stock of IBEX that, together with the shares held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of IBEX. However, if any one Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50%, on a fully diluted basis, of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of IBEX, the acquisition of additional shares by the same Person or Persons Acting as a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of IBEX or to cause a Change in Effective Control of IBEX (as described below). An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which IBEX acquires its shares in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of shares.

(2) A “Change in Effective Control of IBEX” shall occur on the date either (A) a majority of members of IBEX’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of IBEX’s Board before the date of the appointment or election, or (B) any one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of shares of IBEX possessing 50% or more of the total voting power of the shares of IBEX.

(3) A “Change in the Ownership of Assets of IBEX” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire (or has or have acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons), assets from IBEX that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of IBEX immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of IBEX, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. The following rules of construction apply in interpreting the definition of Change in Control:

a.    A “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by IBEX and by entities controlled by IBEX or an underwriter, initial purchaser or placement agent temporarily holding the shares of IBEX pursuant to a registered public offering.

b.    Persons will be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group (or Group) if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or

112


acquisition of shares, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a Person owns shares in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of shares, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time or purchase or own shares of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

c.    A Change in Control shall not include a transfer to a related person as described in Code Section 409A or a public offering of share capital of IBEX.

d.    For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, Section 318(a) of the Code applies to determine share ownership. Shares underlying a vested option are considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the shares underlying an unvested option are not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). For purposes of the preceding sentence, however, if a vested option is exercisable for shares that are not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation §1.83-3(b) and (j)), the shares underlying the option are not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any successor thereto, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other relevant interpretive guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or the Treasury Department. Reference to any specific section of the Code shall be deemed to include such regulations and guidance, as well as any successor section, regulations and guidance.

“Common Shares” means Class B Common Shares of IBEX, par value $0.000111650536 per share, and any capital securities into which they are converted and “Common Share” shall be interpreted accordingly.

“Company” means IBEX and its Subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires. For purposes of determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Company shall mean only IBEX.

“Director Limits” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 5(e) of the Plan.

“Dividend Equivalent” means a right, granted to a Participant, to receive cash, Common Share, share Units or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of Common Shares.

“Eligible Individuals” means (i) officers and employees of, and other individuals, including non-employee directors, who are natural persons providing bona fide services to or for, IBEX or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for IBEX’s securities, and (ii) prospective officers, employees and service providers who have accepted offers of employment or other service relationship from IBEX or a Subsidiary.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, and any successor thereto. Reference to any specific section of the Exchange Act shall be deemed to include such regulations and guidance issued thereunder, as well as any successor section, regulations and guidance.

113


“Fair Market Value” means, on a per share basis as of any date, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator:

(1)if the principal market for the Common Shares (as determined by the Administrator if the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading on more than one exchange or market) is a national securities exchange or an established securities market, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the official closing price per Common Share for the regular market session on that date on the principal exchange or market on which the Common Shares are then listed or admitted to trading or, if no sale is reported for that date, on the last preceding day on which a sale was reported, all as reported by such source as the Administrator may select;

(2)if the principal market for the Common Shares is not a national securities exchange or an established securities market, but the Common Shares are quoted by a national quotation system, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Shares on that date as reported on a national quotation system or, if no prices are reported for that date, on the last preceding day on which prices were reported, all as reported by such source as the Administrator may select; or

(3)if the Common Shares are neither listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or an established securities market, nor quoted by a national quotation system, the value determined by the Administrator in good faith by the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method, which method may, but need not, include taking into account an appraisal of the fair market value of the Common Shares conducted by a nationally recognized appraisal firm selected by the Administrator.

Notwithstanding the preceding, for foreign, federal, state and local income tax reporting purposes and for such other purposes as the Administrator deems appropriate, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory standards adopted by it from time to time.

“Full Value Award” means an Award that results in IBEX transferring the full value of a Common Share under the Award, whether or not an actual share is issued. Full Value Awards shall include, but are not limited to, share awards, share units, Performance Shares, Performance Units that are payable in Common Shares, and Other Share-Based Awards for which IBEX transfers the full value of Common Shares under the Award, but shall not include Dividend Equivalents.

“Incentive Share Option” means any share option that is designated, in the applicable Award Agreement or the resolutions of the Administrator under which the share option is granted, as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and otherwise meets the requirements to be an “incentive stock option” set forth in Section 422 of the Code.

“Participant” means an Eligible Individual to whom one or more Awards are or have been granted pursuant to the Plan and have not been fully settled or cancelled and, following the death of any such person, his successors, heirs, executors and administrators, as the case may be.

“Performance Award” means a Full Value Award, the grant, vesting, lapse of restrictions or settlement of which is conditioned upon the achievement of performance objectives over a specified Performance Period and includes, without limitation, Performance Shares and Performance Units.

“Performance Goals” means the performance goals established by the Administrator in connection with the grant of Awards based on Performance Metrics or other performance criteria selected by the Administrator.

“Performance Period” means that period established by the Administrator during which any Performance Goals specified by the Administrator with respect to such Award are to be measured.

“Performance Metrics” means criteria established by the Administrator, which may relate to any of the following (or any other metric), as it may apply to an individual, one or more business units, divisions, or Affiliates, or on a company-wide basis, and in absolute terms, relative to a base period, or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies, peer groups, or an index covering multiple companies:

“Restriction Period” means, with respect to Full Value Awards, the period commencing on the date of grant of such Award to which vesting or transferability and other restrictions and a risk of forfeiture apply and ending upon the expiration of the applicable vesting conditions, transferability and other restrictions and lapse of risk of forfeiture and/or the achievement of the applicable Performance Goals (it being understood that the Administrator may provide that vesting shall occur and/or restrictions shall lapse with respect to portions of the applicable Award during the Restriction Period.

“Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity in an unbroken chain of companies, corporations or other entities beginning with IBEX if each of the companies, corporations or other entities, or group of commonly controlled companies, corporations or other entities, other than the last company, corporation or other entity in the unbroken chain then owns shares, stock or other equity interests possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares, stock or other equity interests in one of the other companies, corporations or other entities in such chain or otherwise has the power to direct the management and policies of the entity by contract or by means of appointing a majority of the members of the board or other body that controls the affairs of the entity; provided, however, that solely for purposes of determining whether a Participant has a Termination of Service that is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or whether an Eligible Individual is eligible to be granted an Award that in the hands of such Eligible Individual would constitute a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code , a “Subsidiary” of a corporation or other entity means all other entities with which such company, corporation or other entity would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) or 414(c) of the Code.

employment with IBEX and all Subsidiaries as of a certain date if the Participant and the entity that employs the Participant reasonably anticipate that the Participant will perform no further services for IBEX or any Subsidiary after such date or that the level of bona fide services that the Participant will perform after such date (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services if the Participant has been providing services for fewer than 36 months); provided, however, that the employment relationship is treated as continuing while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of leave does not exceed six months or, if longer, so long as the Participant retains the right to reemployment with IBEX or any Subsidiary.

“Total and Permanent Disability” means, with respect to a Participant, except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, that a Participant is (i) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to last until the Participant’s death or result in death, or (ii) determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration or other governmental or quasi-governmental body that administers a comparable social insurance program outside of the United States in which the Participant participates and which conditions the right to receive benefits under such program on the Participant being unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to last until the Participant’s death or result in death. The Administrator shall have sole authority to determine whether a Participant has suffered a Total and Permanent Disability and may require such medical or other evidence as it deems necessary to judge the nature and permanency of the Participant’s condition.
