23. Further to the announcement made on 31 March 2011, the Deferred Shares awarded to the executive directors and PDMR relating to the 2008 Award under the Premier Oil plc Asset and Equity Plan have been entered into a Matching Award scheme with a mandatory deferral period of three years, in accordance with the commitment made to shareholders. The number of shares comprised in the Matching Award "matches" the Deferred Shares by a maximum ratio of 2.5:1. Vesting will be on a proportionate basis, on the determination of the Performance Conditions and, to the extent that they have been satisfied, provided the Participant is still employed by the Premier Oil group at the time when the Matching Award vests.

 

Performance Share Awards are granted over shares with a value on grant of up to 150% of salary which are subject to a total shareholder return ("TSR") performance condition. The performance condition applying to the Performance Share Awards will require the Company's TSR to be at least at the median of a comparator group comprising approximately 30 other oil companies. The performance period for this award runs from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013. 50% of any shares vesting under the Performance Share Award will be subject to a mandatory deferral period of three years for executive directors, PDMRs, and other members of senior management.
