TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Performance period	Four years commencing on 1 January 2018 and ending on
	31 December 2021
Date of grant	If approval is obtained, the SARs will be granted to Mr Gallagher as soon as
	practicable after the Annual General Meeting. In any event, they will not be
	granted more than 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting.
Performance	The Board has determined that the SARs to be granted to Mr Gallagher will
conditions	be divided into four tranches, each of which will comprise 25% of the SARs.
	The performance conditions for the vesting of the SARs in each tranche are
	set out below.
Tranche 1: Relative	25% of the SARs will be subject to the Company’s Total Shareholder Return
TSR against ASX	(“TSR”) performance relative to the TSR performance of the companies
100	comprising the ASX 100 index as at 1 January 2018.

	according to the following vesting scale:

TSRpercentile ranking	% of tranche vesting
Below 51stpercentile	0%
51stpercentile	50%
straight-linepro-rata	vestingin between

	76thpercentile and above 100% vesting
Tranche 3: Free Cash Flow Breakeven Point	25% of the SARs will be subject to the Company’s performance on its free cash fow breakeven point (FCFBP). FCFBP is the US$ oil price at which cash fows from operating activities equals cash fows from investing activities, as published in the Company’s fnancial statements. This condition has been chosen in order to drive the underlying business to be an operationally efcient low-cost producer focused on delivering shareholder value throughout the oil price cycle. As the aim of the condition is to measure the performance of the underlying business, the Board will have discretion to adjust the FCFBP for individually material items including asset acquisitions and disposals that may otherwise distort the measurement. The Company’s FCFBP will be calculated each year and will be an average over the four-year performance period, and the SARs will vest in accordance with the following vesting scale: FCFBP % of tranche vesting
	Above US$40/bbl 0%

Notice of Annual General Meeting continued

Tranche 4: Return on Average Capital Employed	25% of the SARs will be subject to the Company’s performance in relation to return on average capital employed (ROACE). ROACE is measured as underlying earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) divided by average capital employed, being shareholders’ equity plus net debt, as published in the Company’s fnancial statements. Average capital employed is calculated as the simple average of opening and closing balances. This condition has been chosen in order to drive the underlying business to be an operationally efcient low-cost producer focused on delivering shareholder value throughout the oil price cycle. As the aim of the condition is to measure the performance of the underlying business, the Board will have discretion to adjust the ROACE for individually material items that may otherwise distort the measurement. The Company’s ROACE will be calculated as an average over 2019, 2020 and 2021 and compared to the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the last three years of the performance period, in order to determine whether the SARs will vest in accordance with the following vesting scale: ROACE % of tranche vesting
	Below 100% of WACC 0%
	Equal to 100% of WACC 50%
	straight-linepro-rata vestingin between
	Equal to or above 120% of WACC 100% vesting

10 / Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

Number of SARs	The number of SARs to be granted to Mr Gallagher has been determined
	using the ‘face value’ methodology, that is, by dividing an amount equivalent
	to 150% of Mr Gallagher’s total fxed remuneration of $1,890,000 by $5.45,
	being the share price at the start of the performance period (the price on
	Friday 29 December 2017 was used as 1 January 2018 was not a trading day).
	This was the same face value methodology that was used to calculate the
	number of SARs awarded to other executives of the Company as part of the
	Company’s long-term incentive program.
	Based on the above formula, it is proposed that Mr Gallagher be granted
	520,183 SARs.
	The SARs will be granted at no cost to Mr Gallagher, and no amount is
	payable on vesting of the SARs if the performance conditions are met. Each
	SAR entitles Mr Gallagher to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company
	which, when allocated, will rank equally with shares in the same class. At
	Santos’ election, cash to the same value can be paid as an alternative to
	providing shares.
	SARs granted under the SEEIP do not carry any dividend or voting rights until
	they vest. The SARs lapse if the performance conditions are not met. There is
	no re-testing.
Other information	• Mr Gallagher is the only Director entitled to participate in SEEIP.
	• There is no loan in relation to the SARs.
	• The ASX Listing Rules require this Notice of Meeting to state the number
	and price of securities received by Mr Gallagher since the last shareholder
	approval. Since the last approval at the 2017 Annual General Meeting,
	671,641 SARs were issued to Mr Gallagher (at no cost) in accordance with
	that approval.
	• If this grant is approved, some or all of the SARs granted to Mr Gallagher
	may vest or lapse on cessation of employment, subject to the Board’s
	discretion. Under the SEEIP, the Board also has discretion to vest or lapse
	the CEO’s SARs if there is a change of control.
	• If approval is given by shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval
	will not be required under ASX ListingRule 7.1.

Voting restrictions apply in relation to this resolution and are described in the Notes Relating to Voting on page 16.

RECOMMENDATION

The non-executive Directors consider the grant of SARs to Mr Gallagher to be reasonable and appropriate in all the circumstances. The non-executive Directors recommend that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of resolution 4.

5. REINSERTION OF THE PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS FOR A FURTHER THREE YEARS

The proportional takeover provisions set out in Rule 70 of the Company’s Constitution were last renewed by shareholders of the Company at the 2015 Annual General Meeting for a period of three years.

The provisions prohibit the registration of transfers of shares acquired under the proportional takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by shareholders approving the bid. As provided in Rule 70, the provisions cease to have effect after three years unless renewed. Accordingly, it is appropriate to consider renewing the proportional takeover provisions by reinserting Rule 70, in the form last approved by shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

The Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to shareholders when they are considering the renewal of proportional takeover provisions in a constitution.

What is a proportional takeover bid, and why do we need the proportional takeover approval provisions?

A proportional takeover bid involves the bidder offering to buy a proportion only of each shareholder’s shares in the Company. This means that control of the Company may pass without members having the chance to sell all their shares to the bidder. It also means the bidder may take control of the Company without paying an adequate amount for gaining control.

In order to deal with this possibility, a company may provide in its constitution that:

• in the event of a proportional takeover bid being made for shares in the Company, members are required to vote by ordinary

resolution and collectively decide whether to accept or reject the offer; and

• the majority decision of the Company’s members will be binding on all individual members.

The Directors consider that members should be able to vote on whether a proportional takeover bid ought to proceed given such a bid might otherwise allow control of the Company to change without members being given the opportunity to dispose of all of their shares for a satisfactory control premium. The Directors also believe that the right to vote on a proportional takeover bid may avoid members feeling pressure to accept the bid even if they do not want it to succeed.

What is the effect of the proportional takeover approval provisions?

If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure that members vote on a resolution to approve the bid more than 14 days before the bid period closes.

The vote is decided on a simple majority. Each person who, as at the end of the day on which the first offer under the bid was made, held bid class securities is entitled to vote. However, the bidder and their associates are not allowed to vote.

If the resolution is not passed, transfers which would have resulted from the acceptance of a bid will not be registered and the bid will be taken to have been withdrawn. If the bid is approved (or taken to have been approved), the transfers must be registered if they comply with the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution.

The bid will be taken to have been approved if the resolution is not voted on within the deadline specified under the Corporations Act.

12 / Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids, and only apply for three years after the date they are renewed. The provisions may be refreshed for a further three-year period, but only by a special resolution passed by members.

Potential advantages and disadvantages

While the renewal of Rule 70 will allow the Directors to ascertain members’ views on a proportional takeover bid, it does not otherwise offer any advantage or disadvantage to the Directors who remain free to make their own recommendation as to whether the bid should be accepted.

The provisions in Rule 70 ensure that all members have an opportunity to study a proportional bid proposal and vote on the bid at a general meeting. This is likely to ensure a potential bidder structures its offer in a way which is attractive to a majority of members, including appropriate pricing. Similarly, knowing the view of the majority of members may help individual members assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover when determining whether to accept or reject the offer.

However, it is also possible that the inclusion of such provisions in the Constitution may discourage proportional takeover bids, and may reduce any speculative element in the market price of the Company’s shares arising from the possibility of a takeover offer being made. The inclusion of the provisions may also be considered to constitute an unwarranted additional restriction of the ability of members to freely deal with their shares.

The Board considers that the potential advantages for members of the proportional takeover approval provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages.

As at the date on which this statement was prepared, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the renewal of the proportional takeover provisions by reinserting Rule 70 of the Constitution of Santos Limited in the form last approved by shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

6. RESOLUTION PROMOTED BY MARKET FORCES AND REQUISITIONED BY A GROUP OF SHAREHOLDERS

A group of shareholders holding approximately 0.015% of the Company’s ordinary shares has proposed the resolutions in Items 6(a) and 6(b) under section 249N of the Corporations Act and requested pursuant to section 249P of the Corporations Act that the statement set out in Appendix 1 to this Notice be provided to shareholders.

Environmental, social and governance issues are an important consideration for the Company and the Board, and critical to maintaining the Company’s reputation. Santos has robust environmental, social and governance management processes in place to comply with all laws and ensure that it understands and properly addresses any adverse consequences of its operations and concerns of the communities in which it operates.

Santos adopts an approach of transparent and open disclosure to its shareholders and stakeholders regarding environmental, social and governance issues generally.

Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018 / 13

Notice of Annual General Meeting continued

Santos has recently published a Climate Change Report and updated its Climate Change Policy outlining its approach to climate change, including risks, opportunities and targets. This is consistent with the recommendations of the G20’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures.

Further information on Santos’ approach to managing greenhouse gas emissions, and particularly fugitive methane emissions is provided below:

• The Board and Senior Management oversee all material risks via a robust Risk Management Framework. This framework integrates risk management into its strategic assessment and planning processes which includes the identification of material risks, including climate-related risks.

• Santos considers a range of climate change scenarios in its strategic assessment and planning processes and factors in a carbon price in all its economic modelling. Santos’ 2018 Climate Change Report demonstrates that Santos’ natural gas-focused portfolio is economically resilient under all of the International Energy Agency’s Energy Technology Perspectives 2017 scenarios.

• Santos publicly reports its audited greenhouse gas emissions. This dataset provides disclosures on scope 1, 2, 3 emissions; emissions breakdown by methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide; and emissions breakdown by fuel, flare, vent, carbon dioxide removal and fugitive emissions. The latest dataset was included in Santos’ 2018 Climate Change Report.

• Santos reports greenhouse gas emissions (including methane) under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 and associated National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 . The Measurement

Determination is updated annually by the Federal Department of Environment and Energy to reflect updates to emission factors and improvements in emissions estimation methods.

• During 2013 and 2014, Santos participated in an 18-month study initiated by the CSIRO and the federal Department of the Environment to measure fugitive emissions associated with leakage from coal seam gas (CSG) facilities and well casings. CSIRO concluded that the range of fugitive emission leakage measured was consistent with the emission factor currently used in the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting methodology for estimating emissions from equipment leaks.

• Santos has leak detection and repair processes in place across its operations. Santos’ inspection and maintenance processes ensure potential hazards are quickly identified and managed. Santos implements and continues to develop effective technologies and practices for monitoring and reducing methane emissions and considers methane emission prevention and minimisation in project engineering and design.

• Santos is constantly looking for ways to reduce energy consumption and its carbon footprint. Every molecule of gas that is not consumed through fuel, flaring, venting or fugitives can potentially be supplied to the market, lowering emissions and providing more natural gas for customers. Santos is currently investing in heat recovery at its Moomba Plant to reduce its own fuel use.

• Santos is playing a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through its LNG business. Assuming all of Australia’s forecast 85 million tonnes of LNG exports in 2020 have

14 / Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

replaced legacy coal-fired power generation in Asia, then Australian LNG reduces 300 million tonnes of global greenhouse gas emissions every year. To put this in context, this emission reduction is three times the size of Australia’s 2030 annual emissions reduction target under the Paris Agreement.

• Santos has set an aspirational target to achieve net-zero emissions (including methane) from its operations by 2050 and will set medium-term targets during 2018.

Market Forces is an affiliate project of Friends of the Earth and its website indicates that it seeks to prevent investment in the companies it targets. This intention, being to cause harm to the Company, is clearly contrary to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board would urge institutional and other shareholders, when considering how to vote on these resolutions, to take into account the efforts Santos already undertakes in relation to environmental, social and governance issues, including with respect to methane emissions, and the disclosure Santos has already voluntarily and proactively provided through both its Climate Change Report and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme.

• The Board must and does take into account the views of shareholders but it has an overriding duty to proceed at all times in what the Board considers to be the best interests of the Company as a whole. The Board is vested with the power of management but must act in accordance with its duties and is always accountable to shareholders.

• Where the Board considers it appropriate, it may put an advisory resolution to shareholders as it did in 2014 in relation to the Narrabri project. However, imposing a constitutionally mandated obligation to do so would increase the scope for requisitioned resolutions to be used by groups whose interests are not aligned with, and may be contrary to, those of the Company.

RECOMMENDATION

For the reasons outlined above, the Board recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST resolutions 6(a) and 6(b).

While the Board recognises and supports the right of shareholders to make their opinions known (including at the AGM) and to requisition resolutions, the Board can only recommend in favour of resolutions that are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board recommends against the requisitioned resolutions for the following reasons:

• Shareholders already have important rights to make their opinions known to the Company and the Board, and to ask questions of and challenge the Board through the AGM.

4. PROXIES

The following information is relevant if you wish to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf on resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting acting as proxy

You may appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as your proxy. In addition, the Chairman of the meeting is deemed to be appointed where a signed proxy form is returned which does not contain the name of the proxy or where the person appointed on the form is absent.

If a member directs the Chairman how to vote on an item of business, the Chairman must vote in accordance with the direction.

For proxies without voting instructions that are exercisable by the Chairman, the Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolutions 2 to 5, and against resolutions 6(a) and 6(b).

In relation to each of the remuneration-related resolutions (being resolutions 3 and 4), if the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy, and you have not directed your proxy how to vote on the relevant resolution, please note that by completing and returning the proxy form

16 / Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

accompanying this Notice you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the meeting to exercise your undirected proxy on these resolutions even though they are connected with the remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel.

Directing your proxy how to vote

If you wish to indicate how your proxy should vote, please mark the appropriate boxes on the proxy form.

If you mark the “abstain” box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf and your shares will not be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.

If you do not mark a voting instructions box in respect of a resolution, your proxy can vote as he or she decides, subject to any voting exclusions that apply to the proxy.

Does the proxy you appoint need to be a member?

A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate, and need not be a member of the Company.

Appointing two proxies

A member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. If you wish to appoint two proxies please obtain a second proxy form by telephoning the Share Registry on 1300 096 259 (within Australia) or +61 2 8016 2832 (outside Australia) or by sending a fax to +61 2 9290 9655. Both forms should be completed specifying the nominated percentage or number of your votes given to each proxy. Please return both proxy forms together. If the proxy forms do not specify the proportion or number of your votes, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. Where more than one proxy is appointed and both attend the meeting, neither proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands.

Appointment of a body corporate representative as a proxy

Where a member appoints a body corporate as proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that:

• it appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act (the “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” that can be obtained from the Share Registry can be used for this purpose); and

• the instrument appointing the corporate representative is received by the Company at its registered office by the time referred to below.

Completing the proxy form

A proxy form must be signed by the member or his/her attorney or, in the case of a corporation, executed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act or signed by an authorised officer or attorney. If the proxy form is signed by an attorney or by the authorised officer of a corporation, the power of attorney or other authority (or a notarially certified copy) must accompany the form unless it has previously been provided to the Company. If the proxy form is sent electronically or by fax, any accompanying power of attorney or other authority must be certified.

Appendix

APPENDIX 1

The shareholders who requisitioned the resolution in item 6(a) have requested, pursuant to section 249P of the Corporations Act, that the following statement accompany the resolution.

Santos is legally required to circulate the statement to shareholders. However, the Board and Company do not endorse and are not responsible for the contents of the statement or for any inaccurate or misleading statements contained in it.

Statement pursuant to Section 249P of the Corporations Act in relation to Item 6(a)

Shareholder resolutions are a healthy part of corporate democracy in many jurisdictions other than Australia. For example, in the UK shareholders can consider resolutions seeking to explicitly direct the conduct of the board. In the US, New Zealand and Canada shareholders can consider resolutions seeking to advise their board as to how it should act. As a matter of practice, typically, unless the board permits it, Australian shareholders can follow the example of none of their UK, US, New Zealand or Canadian cousins in this respect.

A board of Directors is a steward for shareholders and accountability for the discharge of that stewardship is essential to long-term corporate prosperity.

In rare situations the appropriate course of action for shareholders dissatisfied with the conduct of board members is to seek to remove them. But in many situations such a personality-focused approach is unproductive and unwarranted. In those situations a better course of action is to formally and publicly allow shareholders the opportunity at shareholder meetings such as the

AGM to alert board members that they seek more information or favour a particular approach to corporate policy.

The Constitution of Santos is not conducive to the right of shareholders to place resolutions on the agenda of a shareholder meeting.

In our view, this is contrary to the long-term interests of Santos, the Santos board and all Santos shareholders.

Passage of this resolution – to amend the Santos constitution – will simply put Santos in a similar position in regard to shareholder resolutions as any listed company in the UK, US, Canada or New Zealand.

We encourage shareholders to vote in favour of this resolution.

APPENDIX 2

The shareholders who requisitioned the resolution in item 6(b) have requested, pursuant to section 249P of the Corporations Act, that the following statement accompany the resolution.

Santos is legally required to circulate the statement to shareholders. However, the Board and Company do not endorse and are not responsible for the contents of the statement or for any inaccurate or misleading statements contained in it.

Statement pursuant to Section 249P of the Corporations Act in relation to Item 6(b)

We move this resolution with the intention to increase our company’s resilience to regulatory and market changes that can be foreseen as international action is taken to limit global warming in accordance with the climate goals established by the Paris Agreement.

Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018 / 19

Appendix continued

The oil and gas sector has been identified as the single largest source of methane globally[1] .

Methane (CH4) is the primary component of natural gas, and “can be directly released to the atmosphere at each stage of gas production and transport either intentionally (via flaring or venting, equipment purging, or incomplete combustion), or unintentionally (e.g. leaks and failures)”[2] . Methane can also enter the atmosphere via the landscape, known as migratory emissions. The emission of methane is more potent and has a higher potential to exacerbate the effects of climate change than carbon dioxide. According to the Climate Council, “the global warming potential of methane is 86 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year timeframe and 28 times greater over a hundred years”[3] .

Financial risk

Fugitive methane emissions through leaks and failures constitute lost revenue. By minimising fugitive methane emissions, gas producers maximise the volume of gas available for sale, thus improving efficiency.

Regulatory risk

Due to methane’s global warming potential, excessive fugitive emissions jeopardise the efficiency of natural gas over more emissions intensive fuels like coal. It is widely accepted that “the methane-emission threshold at which point using gas for electricity generation provides no benefits over using coal occurs at a methaneemissions level equal to 3.2 per cent of total gas production”[4] . This threshold is further lowered in the case of LNG that is exported, due to the

energy consumed throughout the export and import process.

The Climate Council found that Australia’s coal seam gas (CSG) industry under-reports methane emissions due to[5] :

• a lack of field studies and direct measurement by the industry;

• most reporting of methane emissions uses factors derived from out-dated United States (US) industry metrics which been shown to significantly under-report emissions, particularly from the CSG industry;

• no baseline studies undertaken of methane emissions before development of large CSG deposits took place in the Bowen and Surat Basins;

• minimal studies have been done since of actual emissions over this now very large developed area.

A 2014 CSIRO pilot study into fugitive emissions from equipment and well casings measured emissions at just 43 CSG wells – less than 1 per cent of the existing CSG wells in Australia at the time[6] . The study concluded that “to fully characterise emissions, a larger sample size would be required and measurements would need to be made over an extended period to determine temporal variation”[7] . Furthermore, that “there are many other potential emissions points throughout the gas production and distribution chain that were not examined in this study”[8] . To date, there have been no further studies published on the fugitive methane emissions from Queensland’s CSG fields.

20 / Santos Notice of Annual General Meeting 2018

It is inevitable that in order to better understand and mitigate Australia’s national emissions, regulators will question the dependence on emissions factors, and mandate on-site measurement and reporting of methane emissions.

Reputational risk

In November 2017, eight major oil and gas companies including BP, Shell and one of Santos’ partners Total, signed a set of Guiding Principles on reducing methane emissions across the natural gas value chain[9] . These principles require the signatories to:

• 1) Continually reduce methane emissions;

• 2) Advance strong performance across gas value chains;

• 3) Improve accuracy of methane emissions data;

• 4) Advocate sound policy and regulations on methane emissions;

• 5) Increase transparency.

Improving disclosure

The Environmental Defense Fund identified five metrics necessary for baseline methane disclosure[10] :

• 1) An absolute emissions figure ( which Santos provides );

• 2) An emissions rate (methane emissions as a percentage of gas produced or throughput);

• 3) Discussion of leak detection and repair (LDAR);

• 4) Discussion of corporate positions on methane regulations;

• 5) A quantitative methane reduction target.

Such disclosures allow investors to compare the efficiency and performance of gas producers, particularly those with unconventional gas operations, like Santos. Such data should be incorporated into mainstream financial reporting.

We encourage shareholders to vote in favour of this resolution.

The endorsement of these principles by eight major oil and gas companies suggests that the cost of measurement and reporting is not prohibitive, particularly given the rapid development and decline in cost of associated technologies.

As its competitors and project partners take action to measure, disclose and reduce methane emissions, Santos must act accordingly, to maintain its reputation amongst peers and its social license to operate.
