Petro Matad Limited
("Petro Matad" or the "Company")
Directors' Dealing
Further to the Company's announcement of 7 May 2014, the current non-executive directors of Petro Matad Limited, the AIM quoted Mongolian oil explorer, have again agreed that for the six months from 1 October 2014 to 31 March 2015, a period when the Company was significantly cash constrained, they have continued to forego their usual director fees and in lieu of cash will receive conditional share awards under the Company's existing long term equity plan, thus creating further savings for the Company. The delay in award of the conditional share awards until the current time is as a result of the Company being in successive closed periods since October 2014. Following completion of the Company's farm-out to BG Group plc, the non-executive directors will be paid their directors' fees from 1 April 2015 onwards.
The conditional share awards vest immediately and participants have until 31 March 2016 to exercise these awards for an exercise price of US$0.01 per Petro Matad ordinary share. An aggregate of 1,993,520 conditional share awards were awarded to the non-executive directors of the Company on 20 July 2015, as set out below.
Director | Number of Conditional Share Awards awarded in lieu of fees |
Oyungerel Janchiv | 498,380 |
Enkhmaa Davaanyam | 498.380 |
Philip Vingoe | 498.380 |
Ridvan Karpuz | 498.380 |
