Grant of Share Options to Incentivise Long-Term Performance

Independent Oil and Gas plc ("IOG" or " the Company " ), (AIM: IOG.L), the UK gas company targeting high returns via an infrastructure-led hub strategy , announces that, under its Company Share Option Plan, it has today granted options over, in aggregate, 8,578,907 1p Ordinary Shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to its executive directors, senior management and employees to incentivise long-term performance (the "LTIP Options").

The new LTIP Options, which are set out in the tables below, are intended to reward long term performance that delivers value for all shareholders. Vesting is subject to the following basket of performance conditions:

- 40% will vest upon achievement of a compound annual Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") of 12.5% over a three-year period

- Up to 20% will vest upon achievement of upper quartile TSR relative to a basket of peer companies over a three-year period from date of grant subject to a floor based on the price at award

- The remaining 40% will vest upon successful delivery of a series of project and company specific commercial milestones, including:

o Production targets (including a first gas target)

o Field Development Plan ("FDP") approval for a further phase of development

o Establishment of an independent baseline carbon intensity assessment for the Phase 1 development in 2021 and meeting a meaningful carbon intensity target level in future years

Subject to vesting, the new LTIP Options are exercisable for up to ten years from the date of grant and will lapse if not exercised by such date.

The aggregate total of 8,578,907 new LTIP Options represents 1.76% of the total issued Ordinary Shares and 1.40% on a fully diluted basis.

The current total outstanding number of unexercised Salary Sacrifice Options held by current and former IOG personnel is 4,480,836.

Fiona MacAulay, Chair of IOG, commented:

"The Company's Share Option Plan is designed to incentivise all our employees to work effectively together to deliver key targets that align with our strategic goals designed to deliver material value for shareholders. The performance conditions include material share price appreciation on both an absolute basis and relative to our industry peer group, the major operational milestones of Phase 1 first gas and Phase 2 FDP approval, and meeting independently assessed carbon intensity targets, which form an important part of our ESG credentials."
