Faroe Petroleum plc
("Faroe Petroleum" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity, Notification of Directors' interests and Total
Voting Rights
On 13 April 2017, certain of the Executive Directors and other
employees of the Company exercised nil-cost options ("Options")
over a total of 2,001,262 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the
share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Faroe
Petroleum Incentive Plan ("FPIP").
Director Shareholdings
To meet the associated income tax liability arising from the
exercise of the Options, certain Directors have also sold a
proportion of those Ordinary Shares at a price of 100 pence per
Ordinary Share, and have retained the balance to increase their
shareholding in the Company as detailed below. Following these
transactions Graham Stewart and Helge Hammer hold Ordinary Shares,
together with options over the same (including Matching Shares)
exercisable at various prices up to 127.50 pence as also detailed
below.
Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights
Faroe Petroleum has applied to the London Stock Exchange for
2,001,262 new Ordinary Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") to be
admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").
It is expected that Admission will become effective on 20 April
2017. The New Ordinary Shares will, following allotment, rank pari
passu in all respects with the existing issued Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will be
366,527,872 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not hold any Ordinary
Shares in treasury. Therefore the total number of voting rights in
the Company will be 366,527,872.
Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
