Panoro Energy - Awards and exercise under RSU program and mandatory notification of trades

Panoro Energy - Awards and exercise under RSU program and mandatory notification of trades

Oslo, 14 June 2023 - Panoro Energy ASA (the "Company" or "Panoro" with OSE

ticker: "PEN") announces the awards and exercise of Restricted Share Units

("RSUs") and notification of primary insider trades.

Awards of RSUs

For the year 2023, the Board of Directors have granted 719,615 RSUs to the key

employees of the Company under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") approved by

the shareholders at the 2021 Annual General Meeting. The awards are based on

specific performance criteria as previously approved by the Board of Directors.

One RSU will entitle the holder to receive one share in the Company against

payment in cash of the par value for the share. The par value is currently NOK

0.05 per share. Vesting of these RSUs is time based, over a period approved by

the Board of Directors. The vesting period of the RSUs is up to 14 June 2026,

where 1/3 of the RSUs vest on 14 June 2024 (the "First Tranche"), 1/3 vest after

1 year of the vesting of the First Tranche, and the final 1/3 vest after 2 years

from vesting of the First Tranche. RSUs are exercised automatically at the

respective vesting dates and the holder will be issued the applicable number of

shares as soon as possible thereafter.

Of the 719,615 RSUs, the primary insiders have been granted the following:

· John Hamilton, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company has been granted

195,419 RSUs;

· Qazi Qadeer, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company has been granted

96,371 RSUs;

· Richard Morton, the Technical Director of the Company has been granted

94,181 RSUs; and

· Nigel McKim, the Projects Director of the Company has been granted 94,181

RSUs.

The remaining 239,463 RSUs have been granted to other key employees.

Exercise of existing RSUs - settlement and Mandatory Notification of Trades

Under the Company's LTIP, 566,229 RSUs from the prior years' grants have vested

and automatically exercised. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the

RSUs, for this tranche the Board of Directors have decided to settle

approximately 55% of the exercised RSUs in new shares and the remaining 45% RSUs

in cash. A total of 309,642 new shares will be issued and 256,587 RSUs will be

settled in cash. The cash settlement for each of the exercised RSU is after

taking into account the difference between NOK 0.05 (being the face value of the

shares) and NOK 26.9470 (being the volume-weighted average price of the

Company's shares on 13 June 2023, i.e. NOK 26.8970 per share (the "Settlement

Price"). The settlement in new shares and cash have been determined after taking

into account the employees' tax liability arising on the exercise of RSUs.

Consequently, the Board has utilized its authorization and passed a resolution

to issue 309,642 new shares, each at a subscription price of NOK 0.05. Existing

shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe the shares have been set aside in

order for the Company to meet its obligations under the RSU program. Following

registration of the share issue, the Company's registered share capital will be

NOK 5,847,202.40, divided into 116,944,048 shares, each having a face value of

NOK 0.05.

The total settlement of shares and cash amount is allocated as follows:

· John Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer has exercised 207,651 RSUs and will

receive 110,056 new shares and 97,595 units in cash settlement at Settlement

Price. Following this, Mr. Hamilton controls 748,836 shares in the Company's

enhanced share capital and holds 338,875 RSUs.

· Qazi Qadeer, Chief Financial Officer has exercised 74,681 RSUs and will

receive 39,581 new shares and 35,100 units in cash settlement at Settlement

Price. Following this, Mr. Qadeer controls 293,432 shares in the Company's

enhanced share capital and holds 157,975 RSUs.

· Richard Morton, Technical Director has exercised 73,773 RSUs and will

receive 39,100 new shares and 34,673 units in cash settlement at Settlement

enhanced share capital and holds 154,386 RSUs.

share capital and holds 154,386 RSUs.

The remaining employees in aggregate have exercised 136,350 RSUs and have

received 81,804 new shares and 54,546 units in cash settlement at Settlement

Price.

Following this settlement and award of new RSUs, the Company will have a total

of 1,203,377 outstanding RSUs. Subject to fulfilling the vesting conditions,

each RSU entitles the holder to one share in the Company.

The funds from cash settlements have, in entirety, been used to settle the taxes

due on vesting.
