Notification of Transactions by

Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities

 

 

Pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Market Abuse Regulation 19, the Company hereby makes the following notifications in respect of its Directors and the vesting of awards of ordinary shares of US$0.02 each in the Company (the ‘Shares’) granted to the Directors under the Petrofac Performance Share Plan (‘PSP’) in 2021 and the Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) in 2022 and 2023. The vestings took place on 1 October 2024 in accordance with the terms of the PSP and DBP.

 

PSP

PSP awards are made by the Company to senior executives and generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant to the extent that performance conditions have been satisfied.  Awards are made at nil cost to participants.

 

Details of the vesting under the PSP, which took place on 1 October 2024, including the position before and after the vesting, are outlined below:     

 

	Total number of Shares held under the PSP prior to 1 October 2024	Number of Shares vested on 1 October 20242	Number of Shares lapsed on 1 October 20242	Number of       Shares sold on 1 October 2024	Total number of Shares held under the PSP after 1 October 2024
Afonso Reis e Sousa1	2,212,101	81,816	163,878	38,597	1,966,407

     

1 Afonso Reis e Sousa sold sufficient Shares to satisfy his tax liability. The share price for the Shares sold was 14.1992 pence. His shareholding in the Company has therefore increased by the number of unsold vested Shares. In accordance with our share retention guidelines, unsold vested PSP Shares are subject to a two-year holding period until 1 October 2026.

 2 Following the end of the three-year performance period in respect of the 2021 PSP award, the performance conditions were such that 33.3% of the award vested.  The balance of Shares lapsed.

 

DBP

In line with the Company’s remuneration arrangements, any bonus awarded will usually be paid to Executive Directors half in cash and half in deferred shares under the DBP.  Awards will generally vest in equal tranches over one, two and three years from the date of grant, provided a participant does not leave the Company’s employment. Awards are made at nil cost to participants.

 

Mr Kawash was granted an ad hoc award under the DBP in line with his joining arrangements. These shares are not subject to performance conditions and will vest, subject inter alia, to continued employment, over the following two years.

 

Details of the vestings under the DBP which took place on 1 October 2024 for each Director, including the position before and after the vestings, are outlined below:  

 

	Total number of Shares held under the DBP prior to 1 October 2024	Number of Shares vested on 1 October 2024	Number of       Shares sold on 1 October 2024	Total number of Shares held under the DBP after 1 October 2024

1 Tareq Kawash and Afonso Reis e Sousa each sold sufficient Shares to satisfy their tax liabilities. The share price for the Shares sold was 14.1992 pence. Their shareholdings in the Company have therefore increased by the number of unsold vested Shares.
