Conversion of Salaries and Fees into Share Options

 

 

Independent Oil and Gas plc ("IOG" or "the Company"), (AIM: IOG.L), the development and production focused oil and gas company, announces that certain Directors and other past and present members of the IOG management and technical teams have accepted all or part of their salaries and fees in options over Ordinary Shares in the Company ("Options").

 

Salary/Fee Sacrifice Options

 

As further detailed in the table at the end of this announcement, such personnel have accepted 1p Options in lieu of salaries and fees due between 1 March 2017 and 31 August 2017.

 

All these Options have a five-year term from 1 September 2017 and are issued by reference to the volume weighted average price per Ordinary Share ("VWAP") over the period to which they relate.  The VWAP over the period from 1 March 2017 to 31 August 2017 was calculated to be 16.78p.  Where services have been provided for only part of that 6-month period the VWAP has been adjusted accordingly.

 

The conversion of salaries and fees into Options is consistent with previous salary and fee sacrifice transactions.  A total of 851,630 new Options have been issued for this period, each with an exercise price of 1p each, representing 0.78% per cent of the Company's current issued share capital.
