Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and PDMR dealings
LONDON, 25 AUGUST 2023
Shareholders are advised that the Company has awarded a total of 11,823,851 performance shares
in the form of nominal cost options (“Performance Shares”) under Gemfields Group Limited

(“Performance Measurement Period”).
1. Cumulative Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("AEPS") Target

AEPS is defined as Headline Earnings Per Share adjusted for unrealised fair value gains and losses.
This removes any gains or losses that may relate to revaluations of the Company’s 6.54% stake in
Sedibelo Resources and will reported in the Company’s financial accounts going forward. Any
adjustments made to the AEPS target for the purposes of the performance condition shall be
applied at the sole discretion of the Remuneration Committee and may include, without limitation,
charges for share based payments, the amortisation of acquired intangible assets, and extraordinary
one-off items. Such adjustments will be applied on a transparent and consistent basis.
2. Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") Target
Up to 50% of the total Performance Shares will vest dependent upon the performance of the
Company's TSR measured over the Performance Measurement Period, determined as follows:
Compound average TSR growth for three-year % of Shares subject to the TSR
period to 31 December 2025 Target Vesting 1
Below 10.0% No vesting
10.0% 25%
15.0% 100%
1 Straight line vesting for compound average TSR growth between 10.0%-15.0%.
The base share price for this performance condition is USD 19.40 cents, being the volume
weighted average price of the Company's shares traded on AIM for the 30 trading days (“30 Day
VWAP) immediately prior to the start of the Performance Measurement Period of 16.03 pence
translated into USD, using the average last exchange rate over the period of the 30 Day VWAP, of
USD 1.2105 per GBP 1.
This base will be compared with the TSR at the end of the performance period on 31 December
2025, as calculated using the AIM 30 Day VWAP until 31 December 2025 translated into USD
using the same basis as above, multiplied by one share plus any additional shares or fraction of a
share that could have been acquired by re-investing any net dividends, using the AIM closing price
on the ex-dividend date applicable to each dividend, paid during the Performance Measurement
Period.
