3 Principal terms of the Issue 1: LTI Rights +securities (e.g. if options, exercise price and expiry date; if (a) Exercise price – Nil partly paid +securities, the amount outstanding and due dates for payment; if +convertible securities, the conversion price and dates for conversion)

(a) Exercise price – Nil (b) Vest date – 1 July 2020 (c) Earliest exercise date – 1 July 2021 (d) Expiry date – 1 July 2022

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 2017 to 30 June 2020). 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 end of 30 June 2021.

Issue 2: Equity Rights

  • (a) Qualifying Period - 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018

  • (b) Vest date 1 July 2018

  • (c) Disposal restriction until 1 July 2019

Each Equity Right entitles the holder to acquire a number of fully paid ordinary shares in SEEK if the Equity Right vests. The maximum number of shares that will be provided at the end of the Qualifying Period if an Equity Right vests has been determined by dividing the allocation value of the Equity Right by the 60 day volume weighted average share price (VWAP) at 1 July 2017.

The Equity Rights are automatically exercised following vesting. There is no amount payable by a holder on issue or exercise of an Equity Right. The shares provided on exercise of each Equity Right will be subject to a 12 month disposal restriction period ending on 1 July 2019.

Issue 3: Performance Rights

  • (a) Qualifying Period - 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018

  • (b) Vest date 1 July 2018

  • (c) Disposal restriction until 1 July 2019

Each Performance Right entitles the holder to acquire a number of fully paid ordinary shares in SEEK if the Performance Right vests. A Performance Right will be eligible to vest if the holder continues to be employed by the SEEK group until the end of the Qualifying Period.

The maximum number of shares that will be provided at the end of the Qualifying Period if a Performance Right vests has been determined, at time of grant, in accordance with a conversion formula. The number of shares provided upon exercise will be determined by dividing the allocation value of the Performance Right by the 60 day volume weighted average share price (VWAP) at 1 July 2017 and applying a percentage determined by the individual performance rating of a holder for FY18.

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 2019.
