Explanation of Responses:

1. As previously disclosed by Bentley Systems, Incorporated (the "Company"), during the second quarter of 2022 the Company began to exercise its right to require that certain awardees of equity compensation and recipients of distributions from the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan receive vested awards and distributions (as applicable) in the form of gross quantities of Company Class B Common Stock (the "Common Stock") and to require such awardees and recipients to promptly reimburse the Company for their tax withholding amounts in cash. Prior to that election, all such vesting and distributions were made on a net basis, with the Company withholding shares of Common Stock in consideration of remitting withholding taxes on behalf of recipients.
