TransGlobe Energy Corporation Announces Director/PDMR Shareholdings

CALGARY, Alberta, June 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM & TSX:  “TGL” & NASDAQ:  “TGA” TransGlobe Energy Corporation (“TransGlobe” or the “Company”) announces that on May 20, 2019, Randy Neely (President and Chief Executive Officer), Lloyd Herrick (Executive Vice President), and Edward Ok (Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer), all persons discharging managerial responsibilities with the Corporation, had Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) vest. These were granted to each individual as part of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan in May 2016.

As per the Plan, following the vesting date, the Company has 55 days to assess performance and to receive Board of Directors’ approval of the assessment.  The Company received Board approval of the performance assessment on May 30, 2019.

The Company’s PSUs have a three-year performance period in which the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) is measured against the TSR of the individual companies included in the performance peer group (“PPG”). The PPG was selected in May 2016 at the time of grant. As per the Plan, depending on the Company’s relative TSR as compared to the TSR of the PPG constituents, the vesting of the 2016 PSU grant would be assessed a performance rating within a range of 50% to 150% of the original grant (inclusive of dividends). For the 2016 grant, the Company achieved a performance rating of 150%.

The PSUs were granted in accordance with the Performance Share Unit Plan of the Company. No shares will be issued upon exercise or vesting of any of the share units as the instruments are settled in cash. Total cash payable can be calculated by taking the total units vested multiplied by the performance rating of 150% multiplied by the Vesting Price. The Vesting Price is calculated as the 5-day volume weighted average share price of trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange prior to the vesting date. The Vesting Price of the shares of the Company was calculated at Cdn $2.38.
