Cairn announces that, on 15 April 2021, it made its annual awards of up to £3,600 worth of ordinary shares of 21/13 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to eligible employees under the "Free Share" element of the Company's HMRC approved all-employee Share Incentive Plan established in April 2010 (the "SIP"). No consideration was paid for the grant of these awards.

The above awards were based on an Ordinary Share price of £1.701, being the closing price of a Cairn share on 14 April 2021.
