Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Diversified Gas & Oil PLC, the US based gas and oil producer, is pleased to announce that on 1 November 2017, the following restricted stock units, to be settled upon vesting in ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Restricted Stock Units"), were granted to certain of the Company's senior management pursuant to individual restricted stock unit award agreements (the "Award Agreements") under the Company's equity incentive plan (the "Plan").

Total | 645,002 |
Under the terms of the Award Agreements, the Restricted Stock Units are scheduled to vest in one or more instalments upon the completion of a specified period of continuous service to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. In the event that the individual's service to the Company or a subsidiary terminates prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units (subject to certain exceptions), such Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically forfeited to the Company upon such termination. Promptly following the vesting date, the Company will issue to the individual a number of ordinary shares in the Company equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units upon payment by the Company of the aggregate nominal value of the ordinary shares.
The notification below, made in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation, provides further detail.
