These are the first awards granted under the LTIP which the Antofagasta group (the "Group") has established to reward senior executives in a way that aligns the interests of LTIP participants with the interests of shareholders and with the Group's long-term strategic plan.  Directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the LTIP.

 

Awards granted under the LTIP are conditional rights to receive a cash payment by reference to the number of Shares relating to the relevant award which vest under the LTIP.  The cash payment is determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at vesting.  No Shares are issued to participants in the LTIP.  No consideration was paid for the grant of any awards.

 

Performance awards are subject both to performance conditions which are measured over a three year period (2012-2014) and to continued employment.  Performance awards will normally vest only after the end of the three year performance period and only to the extent that the performance conditions are met.

 

Restricted awards are subject to continued employment and will normally vest as to one third after the first anniversary of grant, as to a further third after the second anniversary of grant and as to the final third after the third anniversary of grant.
