TGS authorizes award of Performance Stock Units and Restricted Stock Units
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ASKER, NORWAY (2 September 2016) - The Board of Directors of TGS-NOPEC
Geophysical Company ASA has authorized the award of PSUs (Performance Stock
Units) and RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) to be granted to 64 key employees of
the Company.
The list of primary insiders receiving PSUs and RSUs is attached. In accordance
with the measures approved by the Shareholders of TGS at the Annual General
Meeting on 10 May 2016, the PSUs and the RSUs are secured by free-standing
warrants.
Each PSU represents the right to receive the maximum of one share, while each
RSU represents the right to receive one share.
The PSUs have been granted to members of the executive team and will vest on the
third anniversary of the date of grant provided the executive remains employed
with TGS on the vesting date. Upon vesting, the PSUs will be converted to TGS
shares, depending on performance versus target metrics. The number of shares
will be determined by multiplying the number of PSUs granted by a factor of 0%
to 100%. The factor is determined by performance against three target metrics:
(i) market share of multi-client revenues within a peer group, (ii) return on
average capital employed, and (iii) HSE. Each of the performance metrics is
measured for the period 1 January 2016 through 31 December 2018.
The RSUs have been granted to certain non-executive key employees and will also
vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant provided the employee remains
employed at vesting and has achieved a satisfactory performance rating. Upon
vesting, the holder of the RSUs will receive an equivalent number of TGS shares.
