Oil Search Share Trading Policy

Summary

Oil Search Limited ("Oil Search" or "the Company") values its good reputation and recognises the importance of honesty and fair dealing in protecting that reputation.

Oil Search’s overriding aim is to be a company that regulators, investors and market commentators have confidence in.

It is essential that all employees (including directors, executives and managers), contractors and other persons providing services to, or having dealings with Oil Search are aware of, and comply with, the legal restrictions on dealing in Oil Search securities and the securities of other companies while in possession of unpublished price sensitive information. Accordingly, this policy extends to all employees, directors, contractors and other service providers of Oil Search. The policy also covers dealing in securities by persons connected to those persons.

To the greatest extent possible, Oil Search wants to prevent any misunderstanding arising or the creation of any suspicion regarding dealings in securities. In order to achieve this Oil Search firmly believes that it is necessary for its securities dealing policy to go beyond the strict requirements of applicable law and to limit share dealings that would otherwise be permitted by law.  If any aspect of the policy is unclear you should in the first instance seek guidance from the Group Secretary.
