The Board of Directors of BW LPG Limited ("BW LPG", the "Company", OSE ticker
code:"BWLPG.OL") has approved a new long-term management share option plan
("LTIP 2022") aimed to align the interests of senior management and key
employees of the Company with those of the shareholders.
Under LTIP 2022, members of the senior management and key employees of BW LPG
will, on an annual basis for a period of five years, be awarded share options.
The total number of options that will be awarded under LTIP 2022 is 3,548,500
(equivalent to 2.5% of the total number of shares in issue), where each option
will give the holder the right to acquire one BW LPG share from the Company.
One-fifth of the options (i.e. 709,700 options) will be awarded each year in
connection with the publication of the quarterly report for Q4 of the preceding
year. The strike price for the options shall be equal to the sum of (i) the
volume weighted average share price quoted on the Oslo Stock Exchange the first
five trading days following the announcement of such quarterly report (VWAP),
and (ii) 16% of the VWAP.
The options will have a vesting period of three years from being awarded, and
may then be exercised in a period of three additional years. The options are
non-tradable and conditional upon the option holder being employed by the
Company or its subsidiaries and not having resigned or being terminated for
cause prior to the vesting date.
