PGS (or the "Company") announces that the 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”), as approved by the Annual General Meeting on April 21, 2021, has now been implemented by allocating 5 993 000 Performance Restricted Stock Units ("PRSUs").

The awards are based on amongst other considerations the position in the Company and a review on the individual participant's performance prior to award. Any PRSU awarded will, subject to the participant's continued employment with PGS and the Company reaching certain financial goals, be settled three years after award. The complete terms and conditions of the LTI Plan are described in the calling notice for the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Any delivery of PGS-shares will take place from the Company's pool of treasury shares or, if an insufficient number of treasury shares exist, it will be settled by cash payment of an equivalent value.

The purpose of the LTI Plan is to further the interests of PGS, and its shareholders to employees who can contribute materially to the success and profitability of PGS. Such awards will recognize and reward performance and individual contributions and give participants in the plan an interest in the Company parallel to that of the shareholders, thus enhancing the personal interest in PGS' continued success and progress.
