Independent Oil and Gas plc
Grant of Share Options to Incentivise Long-Term Performance
Independent Oil and Gas plc ("IOG" or " the Company " ), (AIM:
IOG.L), the UK gas company targeting high returns via an
infrastructure-led hub strategy , announces that, under its Company
Share Option Plan, it has today granted options over, in aggregate,
8,578,907 1p Ordinary Shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to
its executive directors, senior management and employees to
incentivise long-term performance (the "LTIP Options").
The new LTIP Options, which are set out in the tables below, are
intended to reward long term performance that delivers value for
all shareholders. Vesting is subject to the following basket of
performance conditions:
- 40% will vest upon achievement of a compound annual Total
Shareholder Return ("TSR") of 12.5% over a three-year period
- Up to 20% will vest upon achievement of upper quartile TSR
relative to a basket of peer companies over a three-year period
from date of grant subject to a floor based on the price at
award
- The remaining 40% will vest upon successful delivery of a
series of project and company specific commercial milestones,
including:
o Production targets (including a first gas target)
o Field Development Plan ("FDP") approval for a further phase of
development
o Establishment of an independent baseline carbon intensity
assessment for the Phase 1 development in 2021 and meeting a
meaningful carbon intensity target level in future years
Subject to vesting, the new LTIP Options are exercisable for up
to ten years from the date of grant and will lapse if not exercised
by such date.
The aggregate total of 8,578,907 new LTIP Options represents
1.76% of the total issued Ordinary Shares and 1.40% on a fully
diluted basis.

The LTIP Options are distinct from those held by acceptance of
options in lieu of salaries or fees due in given periods ("Salary
Sacrifice Options"), which are set by the VWAP of 1p Ordinary
Shares over the relevant period of salary sacrifice, have a
five-year term and are not linked to performance. The current total
outstanding number of unexercised Salary Sacrifice Options held by
current and former IOG personnel is 4,480,836.
Fiona MacAulay, Chair of IOG, commented:
"The Company's Share Option Plan is designed to incentivise all
our employees to work effectively together to deliver key targets
that align with our strategic goals designed to deliver material
value for shareholders. The performance conditions include material
share price appreciation on both an absolute basis and relative to
our industry peer group, the major operational milestones of Phase
1 first gas and Phase 2 FDP approval, and meeting independently
assessed carbon intensity targets, which form an important part of
our ESG credentials."
