Issue 1: LTI Rights

Each LTI Right entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in SEEK. The LTI Rights are subject to a performance condition (the "Exercise Entitlement Percentage") which is measured over a three year testing period (1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018). All of the LTI Rights will lapse if the performance condition is not satisfied. If the LTI Rights vest, they will be subject to an exercise restriction period until 1 July 2019.

Issue 2: Performance Rights

Each Performance Right entitles the holder to acquire a number of fully paid ordinary shares in SEEK if the Performance Right vests. The number of shares that will be provided if a Performance Right vests will be determined in accordance with a conversion formula as set out in the SEEK 2015 Notice of Meeting. The Performance Rights are automatically exercised following vesting. There is no amount payable by a holder on issue or exercise of a Performance Right. The shares provided on exercise of each Performance Right will be subject to a 12 month disposal restriction period ending on 1 July 2017.
