WENTWORTH RESOURCES PLC("Wentworth" or the "Company")
Long Term Incentive Plan Awards
Wentworth Resources (AIM: WEN), the independent, Tanzania-focused natural gas production company is pleased to announce that the Remuneration Committee has approved an award of options under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to its Chief Executive Officer, Katherine Roe.
The award will be granted after the announcement of the Company's annual results, currently planned for the week commencing 4 April 2022. At that time, the exact number of shares to be awarded under the LTIP will be determined in accordance with the LTIP scheme rules, with reference to the market value of the Company's shares at the date of grant.
The award will be at the upper limit of the LTIP scheme rules which, as previously reported to shareholders as part of the Company's remuneration policy, is capped in value at 200% of the CEO's annual base salary.
The award will be subject to a three-year performance period from the date of grant (the "Performance Period"). The award is further subject to claw back and malus provisions for an additional two years from vesting.
The performance conditions for the award, in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy, will be that 50% of each award is subject to meeting absolute Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") metrics and the remaining 50% of each award is subject to meeting relative TSR, measured against a selection of constituent companies of the FTSE AIM All-Share Energy Index ("AXOIG").
In relation to the proportion of the award subject to absolute TSR performance, the percentage of the award that will vest will be based on the TSR at the end of the Performance Period, with 25% of the award vesting if the TSR at the end of the Performance Period has increased by an 8% compounded annual growth rate and 100% of the award vesting if the TSR has increased by a 16% compound annual growth rate. Should the TSR increase between 8% and 16%, awards will vest on a linear sliding scale between 25% and 100% and should the TSR at the end of the Performance Period be below 8% no part of this proportion of the award will vest.
