Gulf Keystone announces that, pursuant to the Gulf Keystone Petroleum 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), on 1
April 2026 (the "Award Date") awards over common shares ("2026 Awards") were granted to employees and the persons
discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") listed below.
The LTIP was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 21 June 2024. These
are the third awards to be made under the plan and are in accordance with the agreed annual issue cycle which follows
release of the Company's full year results. The awards have been made to eligible employees of the wider workforce,
including to employees in Kurdistan.
The quantum of 2026 Awards was determined based on a price of 213p being the closing mid-market price of the Company on
31 March 2026. The vesting date for the 2026 Awards is 1 April 2029, being the third anniversary from the Award Date.
The 2026 Awards are in the form of nil cost options and no consideration is payable for the grant of an award.
Performance Conditions
Vesting of the 2026 Awards is subject to performance conditions which include the requirement for both absolute and
relative total shareholder return ("TSR") targets being met. For the 2026 Awards, TSR will be measured over the three
financial years of the Company commencing in the year of the Grant Date. In accordance with recent governance
guidelines, the Remuneration Committee has the discretion to review vesting outcomes to ensure a fair reflection of
performance.
