THE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS DEEMED BY SDX TO CONSTITUTE INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED UNDER THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) NO. 596/2014 ("MAR").

Grant of awards under the Company's long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") to the Executive Directors and certain other key employees of the Company and PDMR dealings
It is the aim of the Board of Directors of the Company to reward key employees on a basis which is aligned with the interests of shareholders and the performance of the Company. As such, the Remuneration Committee has set stretching strategic, operational, financial and shareholder return criteria which must be met for vesting of these LTIP awards to occur.
The maximum number of ordinary shares that could vest under the LTIP awards is 6,454,356 in aggregate, with awards having a three year vesting period and the performance criteria shown below. In order for vesting to occur, a minimum 25% aggregate attainment across the performance criteria must be reached. The aggregate attainment is calculated as the percentage of the stretch target achieved multiplied by the performance measure weighting, totaled across all targets. The Board of Directors retains absolute discretion to adjust the level of vesting should the initial outcome not constitute a fair and accurate reflection of the performance of the Company over the period.
Performance measure | Stretch target | Weighting |
Post-tax operating cash flow | | 16.67%1 |
Working interest production | 27,000 boe/d | 16.67%1 |
Proved and probable reserves | 75 million boe | 16.67%1 |
Total shareholder return | Outperform the | 50.00% |
