Lagos and London, 8 May 2018: The following awards over ordinary shares of 0.5 Naira each ("Shares") of Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc ("Seplat") were granted under the Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to Executive Directors and other Senior Executives of the Company on 2 May 2018 as set out below

Roger Brown | Chief Financial Officer | 760,046 |
Effiong Okon | Operations Director | 779,061 |
* In line with the approach approved by the Remuneration Committee, the number of shares to be granted was calculated by dividing the monetary value of the salary multiple relevant for each PDMR by the higher of the average share price over Q1 2018 or £1. As the average share price over Q1 2018 was £1.29, the calculation has been performed based on this share price.

Name | Position | Number of Shares over which the award is granted* |
Austin Avuru | Chief Executive Officer | 138,157 |
Roger Brown | Chief Financial Officer | 55,673 |
* The number of shares awarded was calculated by reference to Seplat's closing share price on 29 December 2017 of £1.09.
Under the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by Seplat's shareholders at Seplat's 2015 Annual General Meeting, 25% of the directors' annual bonus paid for a financial year is deferred into an award over Shares and the Shares will normally be released on 31 December 2019 (two years following the end of the performance year in respect of which the Award is made) subject to continued employment in line with the LTIP rules and corporate governance best practice.
