Longboat Energy, established by the former management team of Faroe Petroleum plc to build a significant North Sea-focused E&P business, announces a conditional award made under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ( the "LTIP" or "Plan") to a PDMR of the Company. 

 

The Plan

 

The Plan is an employee share plan designed to provide incentivisation and retention for management personnel of the Company over a three-year period (the "Performance Period").  The terms of the Plan were summarised in the Notice of AGM dated 28 May 2020.

The Award is conditional upon the completion of the Farm-ins and associated reverse take-over ("RTO"), as approved by shareholders at the General Meeting of 28 June 2021. In the event that the RTO does not occur, the Award shall lapse.
