(a) Exercise price – $19.04 (b) Exercise date – 1 July 2017 (c) Expiry date – 1 July 2019 Each LTI Option entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in SEEK. The LTI Options are subject to a performance condition (the "Exercise Entitlement Percentage") which is measured over a three year testing period (1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017). All of the LTI Options will lapse if the performance condition is not satisfied. If the LTI Options are exercised on or before 30 June 2018, the shares provided on exercise of the LTI Options will be subject to a disposal restriction period until 1 July 2018.
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 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 2017. Further information about the terms of the LTI Options and the Executive Performance Rights can be found in the SEEK 2013 Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Issue 4: Fully paid ordinary shares
