Bowleven plc ("Bowleven" or the "Company")
Conditional vesting of 2013 LTIP Awards and Grant of 2016 LTIP
Awards
Conditional Vesting of 2013 LTIP Awards
Bowleven announces that, following the expiry of the three year
performance period applicable to the 2013 grant of awards under
Bowleven's 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2006 LTIP") ("the 2013
LTIP Awards") on 4 December 2016, Bowleven's total shareholder
return ("TSR") was ranked in the upper quartile when compared with
the TSR achieved over such performance period by a comparator group
of companies. As announced at the time the 2013 LTIP Awards were
granted, the calculation of Bowleven's TSR for these purposes was
carried out by reference to a deemed "starting price" of 50 pence
per share (which was higher than required (37.50 pence per share)
under the terms of the 2006 LTIP).
In light of the above, 100% of the 2013 LTIP Awards would
ordinarily have vested in favour of the following persons
discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"):
PDMR No. of shares comprised in 2013 LTIP Award
---------------- -------------------------------------------
David Clarkson 480,000
---------------- -------------------------------------------
Kerry Crawford 289,626
---------------- -------------------------------------------
Kevin Hart 706,136
---------------- -------------------------------------------
Mbi Tabetando 260,000
---------------- -------------------------------------------
Ed Willett 441,334
---------------- -------------------------------------------
However, the above PDMRs and the Remuneration Committee have
agreed that the vesting of the 2013 LTIP Awards should be
deferred.
Consequently, it has been deemed appropriate that the vesting of
the 2013 LTIP Awards should be made subject to the further
condition that the Remuneration Committee is satisfied that there
has been an overall satisfactory and sustained improvement in the
performance of the Company over an additional period which will
ordinarily end on 4 June 2017.
Grant of 2016 LTIP Awards
In accordance with the Company's remuneration policy, the
Remuneration Committee resolved on 19 December 2016 to grant awards
over ordinary shares in the Company under the terms of its 2015
Long Term Incentive Plan approved by shareholders on 16 December
2015 ("2015 LTIP") to certain members of the executive and senior
management of the Company as set out in the table below.
PDMR No. of shares over which awards
granted on 19 December 2016
---------------- --------------------------------
Brian Cassidy 459,184
---------------- --------------------------------
David Clarkson 734,694
---------------- --------------------------------
Kerry Crawford 673,469
---------------- --------------------------------
Kevin Hart 1,113,245
---------------- --------------------------------
Tom Newell 397,959
---------------- --------------------------------
The above awards will ordinarily vest on or around the third
anniversary of the date of grant but only to the extent that
certain performance conditions are satisfied. Consistent with
previous awards made under the 2015 LTIP, these performance
conditions relate to the TSR generated by the Company over the
period of three years from grant compared to a selected group of 14
comparator companies chosen by the Remuneration Committee. Awards
under the 2015 LTIP only vest where Bowleven's TSR over the
relevant performance period is at least the median of the
comparator group. 20% of an award vests where Bowleven's TSR is the
median (i.e. 8(th) position); 40% where Bowleven's TSR is in 7(th)
position; 60% where Bowleven's TSR is in 6(th) position; 80% where
Bowleven's TSR is in 5(th) position; and 100% where Bowleven's TSR
is in the upper quartile (i.e. 4(th) position or above). In
addition, no awards vest unless the Remuneration Committee in its
absolute discretion is also satisfied that there has been an
overall satisfactory and sustained improvement in the performance
of the Company during the relevant performance period.
The 2016 LTIP awards referred to above were based on a share
price of 24.50 pence per share, being the Company's closing share
price on 16 December 2016. No consideration was payable by the
PDMRs for the grant of the above awards.
2016 PDMRs' Remuneration
Although a number of key objectives were met during the year,
the Company's Remuneration Committee, with the support of the
Executive Directors, has resolved that no bonuses will be payable
to PDMRs in respect of the calendar year ending 31 December
2016.
