1.         Purchase of Partnership Shares / Award of Matching Shares under the Company's 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP")

Cairn announces that, on 6 July 2017, the trustee (the "Trustee") of the Company's HMRC approved all-employee SIP purchased ordinary shares of 231/169 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in the market at a price of £1.7685 per Ordinary Share on behalf of the participants below in the "Partnership Share" element of the SIP using a deduction made from their gross salary.

Cairn also announces that, on 6 July 2017, an award of further Ordinary Shares was made to the participants below under the "Matching Share" element of the SIP on the basis of two free Matching Shares for every one Partnership Share purchased. The Ordinary Shares used to satisfy these awards were existing shares previously purchased in the market.
