Notification of Directors' interests
Faroe Petroleum Incentive Plan
On 28 July 2017 the Remuneration Committee of the Company approved an annual award under the Faroe Petroleum Incentive Plan ('FPIP") to the Executive Directors by way of grant of nil-cost options ("Options") over ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") as detailed below:
FPIP Annual Awards

Graham Stewart | Chief Executive | 1,192,277 |
Helge Hammer | Chief Operating Officer | 710,293 |
Jonathan Cooper | Chief Financial Officer | 644,083 |
The actual number of Options which the recipients could receive under the FPIP ranges from zero to 100% subject to the achievement of the performance targets. For the purposes of disclosure and maintenance of certain statutory records, the number of Nil-Cost Options is taken to be 100% of the number of Nil-Cost Options awarded, as detailed above.
Performance will be measured at the end of a three year performance period against two equally weighted performance conditions, namely one half absolute Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), and one half relative TSR. Awards granted to the recipients will be required to be held for an additional two year holding period after the three year performance period.
