Pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Market Abuse Regulation 19, the Company hereby makes the following notifications in respect of its Directors and their vestings of ordinary shares of US$0.02 each in the Company (the ‘Shares’) under the Petrofac Performance Share Plan (‘PSP’), the Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) and the Deferred Bonus Share Plan (DBSP), which took place on 27 April 2023.

 

PSP

PSP awards are made by the Company to senior executives and generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant to the extent that performance conditions have been satisfied.  Awards are made at nil cost to participants.

1 The Shares held under the PSP for Ayman Asfari have been pro-rated for time, based on his retirement as an Executive Director on 31 December 2021.     

2 Ayman Asfari and Afonso Reis e Sousa each sold sufficient Shares to satisfy their tax liabilities. The share price for the Shares sold was 62.21 pence. Their shareholdings in the Company have therefore increased by the number of unsold vested Shares. In accordance with our share retention guidelines, unsold vested PSP Shares are subject to a two-year holding period until 27 April 2025.

 3 Following the end of the three-year performance period in respect of the 2020 PSP award, the performance conditions were such that 6% of the award vested.  The balance of Shares lapsed.

 

DBP

In line with the Company’s remuneration arrangements, any bonus awarded will be paid to Executive Directors half in cash and half in deferred shares under the DBP.  Awards will generally vest in equal tranches over one, two and three years from the date of grant, provided a participant does not leave the Company’s employment. Awards are made at nil cost to participants.

 

Details of the vesting under the DBP which took place on 27 April 2023, including the position before and after the vesting, are outlined below:
