BG Group plc (the "Company") has today received notification from Helge Lund, Chief Executive of the Company that, on 9 March 2015, he was granted the following award under the rules of the LTIP in the form of a conditional award of ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("Shares"):

The Initial Performance Share Award was granted in connection with Mr Lund's recruitment as Chief Executive.

Under normal circumstances, the Initial Performance Share Award will not vest until after the end of the three-year vesting period which commenced on 9 March 2015. Vesting for the Initial Performance Share Award is conditional upon the achievement of specified Company performance criteria over a three-year period. Following vesting, 100% of the net of tax number of vested Shares may not be sold by Mr Lund for a further two years and those Shares will be held on trust on his behalf.

Also, on 9 March 2015, Mr Lund was granted the following award under the rules of the LTIP in the form of a conditional award of Shares:

The One-off Share Award was granted in connection with Mr Lund's recruitment as Chief Executive to compensate him for foregoing share awards from his previous employer.

Under normal circumstances, 75% of the One-off Share Award will not vest until after the end of a one-year vesting period which commenced on 9 March 2015 and the remaining 25% of the One-off Share Award will not vest until after the end of a two-year vesting period which commenced on 9 March 2015.

Also, on 9 March 2015, Mr Lund was granted a further Share Award under the rules of the LTIP, in the form of a conditional award for no consideration to compensate him for foregoing bonus entitlements from his previous employer. The Shares under this further Award vested immediately, with no performance conditions, and were subject to income tax and National Insurance Contributions ("NIC") on vesting.
