Whether the specified period of service that the counterparty is required to complete can be either implicit or explicit (para. BC346)

BC346 In the definition of performance condition, the Board decided to highlight a feature that distinguishes a performance condition from a non-vesting condition in accordance with paragraph BC171A of IFRS 2; namely, that a performance condition has an explicit or implicit service requirement and a non-vesting condition does not. This is so that, in order to constitute a performance condition, a performance target needs to be accompanied by a service requirement, which can be implicit or explicit. The Board observed that if the share-based payment arrangement does not contain an explicit requirement to provide services, the arrangement may still contain an implicit service condition.
