Company Announcements Office Australian Securities Exchange 20 Bridge Street Sydney NSW 2000
26 June 2008
Dear Sir
Directors Voluntarily Relinquish Options
Pryme directors, Justin Pettett and Ryan Messer, have voluntarily relinquished unvested options over 6,591,000 shares and 3,380,000 unvested rights to receive ordinary shares which were awarded in July 2007 under the Directors’ Incentive Option Plan (DIOP) and the Directors’ Share Incentive Plan (DSIP), respectively.
Australian Accounting Standards require the expensing of the cost of options granted to employees under incentive plans regardless of whether or not the performance criteria which must be satisfied prior to the vesting of the options have been satisfied. As stated in its 28 February announcement, the Directors believe that, whilst the Company is in the early stages of demonstrating its exploration and strategic development model, the cost to the Company of expensing these options is an unacceptable impost on the Company’s financial performance.
While Pryme enjoys good revenue streams from oil production in the LaSalle Parish and Raven Projects, expensing of these Options and Rights will continue to adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent of approximately $175,000 per month. With concerns about an expense of this magnitude and considering the best interests of the shareholders, Justin Pettett and Ryan Messer have voluntarily relinquished this part of their compensation. Accordingly, the 6,591,000 Options granted under the DIOP 2007 award and the 3,380,000 Rights granted under the DSIP 2007 award have lapsed today.
Pryme’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee will now consider the most appropriate performance based remuneration for the Company’s Executives, having specific regard to company performance and shareholder wealth.
