Additional FY2018 Performance Rights

Ms Gaines has been granted additional FY18 performance rights reflecting the remuneration and incentive arrangements associated with her appointment to the role of Chief Executive Officer effective 19 February 2018.

The additional grant of FY18 performance rights has been calculated on a pro-rata basis from the effective date of her appointment.

The additional performance rights are subject to the terms and conditions of the FY2018 ESSIP and LTIP plans

If Performance Rights vest, ordinary fully paid Fortescue shares will be allocated (with one ordinary fully paid share acquired for each Performance Right that has vested) from the Fortescue Employee Share Trust.

The final number of ESSIP Performance Rights that vest will be dependent upon an assessment of Company and individual performance. Company performance comprises company annual and growth measures designed to drive both a short and long term perspective on performance, and protect the long term interests of Shareholders.

The final number of LTIP Performance Rights that vest will be dependent upon an assessment of overall performance of the Company at the end of each 3-year vesting period. LTIP performance is measured against a combination of financial and strategic measures being Absolute Return on Equity (AROE), relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), and a basket of Strategic Objectives.

The Performance Conditions will be measured over the period 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018 for the ESSIP and over the 3-year period 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020 for the LTIP.

Any shares awarded under the FY18 ESSIP and/or FY18 LTIP will be purchased on market.
