TGS Awards Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Units

TGS Awards Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Units

Oslo, Norway (18 August 2021) - TGS ASA has issued awards of Performance Share

Units (PSUs) and Restricted Share Units (RSUs) to 89 key employees of the

Company, as authorized by the shareholders of the Company at its Annual General

Meeting on 11 May 2021.  The PSUs and RSUs are secured by free-standing warrants

that, upon vesting of the PSUs and RSUs in accordance with their terms, are

convertible to shares of the Company's common stock.  Each PSU represents the

right to receive the maximum of one share, while each RSU represents the right

to receive one share.

The PSUs are granted to members of the executive and senior leadership teams and

will vest on 10 August 2024, provided the employee remains employed with TGS on

the vesting date.  Upon vesting, the PSUs will be converted to TGS shares on the

terms approved by the Annual General Meeting, depending on performance versus

target metrics.  The number of shares will be determined by multiplying the

number of PSUs granted by a factor of 0% to 100%.  The factor is determined by

performance against three target metrics: (i) relative return on average capital

employed compared against a defined peer group of companies, (ii) TGS' return on

average capital employed, and (iii) HSE and ESG goals.  Each of the performance

metrics is measured for the period 1 January 2021 through 31 December 2023.

The RSUs are granted to certain key employees and will also vest on 10 August

2024, provided the employee remains employed at vesting and has achieved a

satisfactory performance rating against their goals over the three-year plan

period.  Upon vesting, the holder of the RSUs will receive an equivalent number

of TGS shares.

The list of the primary insiders receiving PSUs and RSUs is attached. The

maximum number of new shares to be issued under the awarded PSUs and RSUs is

550,000.
