May 22, 2023, Oslo, Norway: PGS (or the "Company") announces that the 2023 long term incentive plan, as approved by the Annual General Meeting on April 26, 2023, has now been implemented by allocating 4 639 000 Performance based Restricted Stock Units ("PRSUs").

The awards are based on amongst other considerations the position in the Company and a review on the individual participant's performance prior to award.

The purpose of the long-term incentive plan is to further the interests of PGS, its subsidiaries and its shareholders to employees who can contribute materially to the success and profitability of PGS.
