Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items] |  |
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure | Practices Related to the Grant of Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information. It has been Vaalco’s practice for several years to determine equity awards at the June meeting of the Board, which is generally held on the same day as, and subsequent to, the Annual Meeting. The Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information to affect the value of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, retention, or other purposes. The Compensation Committee approves all equity award grants on or before the grant date and does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity award grants. The following table contains information required by item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K about stock options granted to our NEOs in the last completed fiscal year during the period from four business days before to one business day after the filing of our periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K that contained material nonpublic information with the SEC under the Exchange Act. We are providing the following information about the stock options granted to our NEOs on June 6, 2024, the same business day that we filed a Form 8-K that disclosed the voting results of our Annual Meeting, which is deemed to be material nonpublic information.
