Grant of Performance Share Awards
On 7 April 2026, Performance Share Awards (the "PSA Awards") were granted to Linda Z. Cook and Alexander Krane (the "Executive Directors"). The PSA Awards have been granted in the form of contingent share awards over ordinary shares in the Company and will only vest if certain performance criteria are met over a three-year performance period from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028 (the "Performance Period").
The performance criteria are based on three weighted measures:
(i) the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") compared to the FTSE 100 (excluding investment trusts): 40%;
(ii) Relative TSR compared to a bespoke group of comparators: 40%; and
(iii) Free Cash Flow Metric: 20%.
Full details of the bespoke TSR comparator group are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report included in the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts, available at harbourenergy.com.
Subject to the achievement of the performance criteria and the Remuneration Committee's assessment of overall Company performance, the PSA Awards will normally vest on 7 April 2029, in line with grants made to other eligible employees. The Executive Directors will then be required to hold the net shares for a further two years. The PSA Awards are also subject to malus and clawback provisions.
The PSA Awards were calculated using the average of Harbour's closing share price for the five dealing days preceding the award date.
