Issue 3: 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 2012 Notice of Meeting.
There is no amount payable by a holder on issue or exercise of an Executive Performance Right.

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.
