On 26 June 2018, Sirius Minerals Plc ("Sirius" or the "Company") granted awards under its Share Based Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to its Executive Directors, other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR") and other employees.

The awards have been granted as Jointly Owned Equity Awards ("JOE Awards") or as "Options". The JOE Awards consist of the acquisition by the Plan participant of an interest in the growth in value of shares which are owned jointly by the participant and the trustee of the Company's employee benefit trust ("EBT"), along with the right on the part of the participant to acquire the trustee's interest for nil-cost. The Options are rights to acquire shares for nil cost.

The Executive Directors' awards are the "Ordinary Awards" and "Exceptional Stretch Awards", in each case as referred to in the Directors' Remuneration Report on page 97 of the Company's 2017 Annual Report and Accounts, and are subject to the performance conditions set out there.
