The LTI Options are subject to a performance condition (the “Exercise Entitlement Percentage”) which is measured over a three year testing period (1 July 2013 to 30 June 2016). All of the LTI Options will lapse if the performance condition is not satisfied. There is a 12 month disposal restriction period from the vesting date of 1 July 2016. Issue 2: Executive Performance Rights Each Executive 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 an Executive Performance Right vests will be determined in accordance with a conversion formula as set out in the SEEK 2013 Notice of Meeting. There is no amount payable by a holder on issue or exercise of an Executive Performance Right. The shares provided on exercise of each Executive Performance Right will be subject to an 18 month disposal restriction period ending on 1 January 2016.

The number of shares that will be provided if a Senior Management Performance Right vests will be determined in accordance with a conversion formula which is based on a volume weighted average price of SEEK shares for the 5 trading days prior to 30 June 2014 and the individual performance rating of a holder as at 1 July 2014. The shares provided on exercise of each Senior Management Performance Right will be subject to a 1 year disposal restriction period ending on 1 July
