* Options with 'stretch' targets as set out below

 

The Awards issued are subject to certain performance conditions, including in relation to achieving key commercial production and/or operational milestones and other key performance indicators. In respect of the Awards issued to the CEO and CFO, approximately 20% will only vest once certain 'stretch' targets are met, which represent performance that is significantly in excess of the Group's current base case business plan assumptions. The extent to which those performance conditions have been satisfied will be determined by the Remuneration Committee.

 

The Awards have different exercise prices depending on the applicable performance conditions as set out the table above and, will lapse by the fifteenth anniversary of the date of grant, unless they lapse earlier in accordance with their terms.

 

The option agreements also provide for the acceleration of vesting on a change of control, subject to the terms of the LTIP and the relevant option agreement.
