Agreement to the Terms of Election

By signing and submitting this Election Form, I acknowledge and agree that:

1.      I have received from Getty Images the Offer to Exchange and other Offer Documents, and upon making an election herein, I agree to all of the terms and conditions of the Offer Documents.

2.      If I have checked the respective box on the Election Form, then I tender to Getty Images for exchange such Eligible Options as indicated in the Election Form and understand that, upon acceptance by Getty Images, the Election Form (including this Agreement to the Terms of Election) will constitute a binding agreement between Getty Images and me.

3.      If I validly tender Eligible Options for exchange and such Eligible Options are accepted by Getty Images, such tendered Eligible Options will automatically be cancelled by Getty Images in exchange for the grant of New Options with the applicable New Options terms described in the Offer Documents.

4.      If I am not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer with respect to Eligible Options, any election I make to tender my Eligible Options, pursuant to this form or otherwise, will be treated as void.

5.      If I elect to participate in the Exchange Offer, my election shall constitute my agreement, without further action required by any party, to the terms of the New Options described in the Offer Documents.

6.      To remain eligible to tender Eligible Options for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer, I must remain an Eligible Optionholder and must not have received a notice of termination nor given a notice of resignation with respect to my employment prior to the Expiration Time, which is currently scheduled to be 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Friday, March 27, 2026, unless extended. I understand that if my employment with Getty Images ceases (or if I give or receive notice of my employment termination) prior to the Expiration Time, Getty Images will not accept my Eligible Options for exchange and I or my estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, will retain my Eligible Options subject to their original terms and conditions. I understand and agree that any New Options will be subject to the terms of the Getty Images 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.

7.      Neither the ability to participate in the Exchange Offer nor actual participation in the Exchange Offer will be construed as a right to continued employment or service with Getty Images.

8.      My election is entirely voluntary, and I am aware that I may change or withdraw my decision to tender my Eligible Options at any time until the Expiration Time, as described in the Election Form and other Offer Documents. I understand that this decision to tender my Eligible Options will be irrevocable as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Friday, March 27, 2026, unless the Exchange Offer is extended. Participation in the Exchange Offer is entirely my decision and should be made based on my personal circumstances. Getty Images has not authorized any person to make any recommendation on its behalf as to whether or not I should participate in the Exchange Offer.

9.      I may receive certain future confirmation letters or other communications from Getty Images in connection with the Exchange Offer, including a communication confirming that Getty Images has received the Election Form and whether Getty Images ultimately accepts or rejects this Election Form.
