PGS ASA: Implementation of 2022 Employee Long-term Incentive Plan

May 13, 2022, Oslo, Norway: PGS (or the "Company") announces that the 2022 long term incentive plan, as approved by the Annual General Meeting on April 27, 2022, has now been implemented by allocating 6 669 000 Performance based 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 the Company (or a subsidiary), be settled three years after grant. The complete terms and conditions of the award are described in the calling notice for the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

Delivery of 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 long-term incentive plan is to further the interests of PGS, its subsidiaries 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 proprietary and personal interest in PGS' continued success and progress.
