("Acacia" or the "Company")
Allocation of nil-cost options under Long-Term Incentive Plan
Further to the resolutions passed at the 2017 Annual General Meeting ("AGM"),
the Company has confirmed the allocation of nil-cost options to members of its
executive leadership team in line with its annual incentive scheme.
In 2017 the Company revised its Remuneration Policy and made related amendments
to the rules of its Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") in order to increase the
vesting and performance period to five years (from three years) and change the
type of awards to nil-cost options ("options"). These changes were approved by
Acacia's shareholders at the AGM.
The vesting of each option award is subject to the assessment of the Company's
TSR performance against the constituents of the Euromoney Global Gold Index
over the five year performance period. No options will vest if Acacia's TSR is
below the median TSR of the Index constituents over that period and Acacia's
TSR must outperform the median TSR of the Index constituents by 50% in order
for 100% of the options to vest.
The market value of each award is determined by reference to the sum of the
middle market quotation of an Acacia share over the five days prior to the date
of grant, equal to 421.2 pence per Acacia share as of 26 April 2017, given that
the relevant AGM resolutions were passed by shareholders on 20 April. All
option awards were allocated as of 26 April 2017 and are recorded as the
"initial notification of the grant of nil cost options over ordinary shares
pursuant to the Company's LTIP". The place of the transaction for all awards
was outside trading venue. The issuer for all option awards is Acacia Mining
plc and the relevant identification code for all options is GB00B61D2N63.
Further information as regards the rationale for making the relevant changes to
the Acacia Remuneration Policy and LTIP rules and the relevant TSR performance
assessment are provided as part of the Remuneration Report comprised within the
2016 Annual Report and Accounts and the Explanatory Notes provided with the
2017 AGM Notice. Both are available on the Acacia website: www.acaciamining.com
