NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Seplat Energy PLC ("Seplat" or "Company")

Share Awards granted under the Seplat Energy PLC 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

Lagos and London - 17 May 2023: The following awards ("LTIP Awards") over ordinary shares of 0.5 Naira each ("Shares") of Seplat were granted under the LTIP to Executive Directors of the Company on 16 May 2023 (the "Award Date") as set out below using the average share price over the 5-day period prior to the date of grant. For the avoidance of doubt, the LTIP awards are granted in respect of the 2023 financial year.

Vesting of the LTIP Awards is dependent on the achievement of stretching relative and absolute Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") performance targets, an overall assessment of corporate performance through an underpin and continued employment over a three-year performance period which began on 1 January 2023. The LTIP Awards will be subject to a two-year post vesting holding period. Full details of the vesting conditions of these LTIP Awards will be set out in the Company's 2023 Annual Report.

 
 Name                Position                    Total Number of Shares 
                                                  over which the award 
                                                       is granted* 
 Roger Brown         Chief Executive Officer           2,779,181 
                    --------------------------  ----------------------- 
 Emeka Onwuka        Chief Financial Officer           1,575,125 
                    --------------------------  ----------------------- 
 Samson Ezugworie    Chief Operations Officer          1,509,650 
                    --------------------------  ----------------------- 
 

*In line with the Directors' Remuneration Policy, the number of shares awarded was calculated by dividing the monetary value of the salary multiple relevant for each Executive Director by the grant price, which equals the five-day average share price prior to the date on which the LTIP Awards were granted (GBP0.974)

The Remuneration Committee retains discretion to make adjustments to the LTIP Awards vesting level and amounts payable resulting from the application of the performance measures if it considers that the outcomes are not a fair and accurate reflection of corporate performance.

On 16 May 2023 (the Award date), the Company also granted the following awards ("Deferred Share Awards") in respect of the 2022 Annual Performance Bonus over Shares under the LTIP to Executive Directors of the Company as set out below. Under the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders at Seplat's 2021 Annual General Meeting, 25% of the executive directors' annual performance bonus relating to the 2022 financial year is deferred into an award over shares and the shares will normally vest and be released on 31 December 2024 (two years following the end of the performance year in respect of which the Deferred Share Award is granted) subject to continued employment in line with the LTIP rules.

                                                  over which the award 
                                                      is granted** 
 Roger Brown         Chief Executive Officer            182,142 
                    --------------------------  -----------------------

                    --------------------------  ----------------------- 
 

**The number of Shares awarded was calculated by reference to Seplat's closing share price on 31 December 2022 of GBP1.05 in line with the approved remuneration policy.

No consideration was paid for the above Awards and no consideration is due on the vesting of the Awards.
