Grant of Awards under the Company's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2017 LTIP")

Grant of Performance Share Awards

On 8 April 2024, Performance Share Awards (the "Awards") were granted to the Executive Directors named below under the 2017 LTIP. The Awards have been granted in the form of contingent share awards over ordinary shares in the Company and the Awards will only vest if certain performance targets are met over a three-year performance period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2026 (the "Performance Period"). 

The performance target for the Awards is based on two equally weighted measures: the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") compared to the FTSE 100 (excluding investment trusts) and relative TSR compared to a bespoke group of comparators. Full details of the comparator group are set out in the Directors Remuneration Report included in the 2023 Annual Report and Accounts, available at harbourenergy.com.  

Subject to the achievement of the performance target and the Remuneration Committee's assessment of overall Company performance, the Awards will normally vest on 8 April 2027, being three years from the date of grant. The Executive Directors will then be required to hold the shares (on an after-tax basis) until the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The Awards are also subject to malus and clawback provisions under the 2017 LTIP. 

The Awards were calculated using the average of the mid-market closing prices for the five dealing days preceding the award date.
