in September 2016. Further adjusted in December 2017 to DKK 93.5 due to dividend payment in September 2017.
² LTIP award is fixed by the Board of Directors and was communicated via company announcement no. 2 of 18

TORM has in accordance with its Remuneration Policy granted the CEO a number of Restricted Share Units (RSUs), which was communicated in company announcement no. 2 dated 18 January 2016. There are no performance conditions associated with this grant of RSUs.
 
The RSUs granted to the CEO will vest over a five-year period, with one fifth of the grant amount vesting at each anniversary during the five-year period. As at 1 January 2017, one fifth of the grant amounting to 255,345 RSUs vested, and as at 31 December 2017, the exercise period relating to those vested RSUs expired. The total value of the RSU allocation is calculated based on the Black-Scholes model and is included in the overall cost estimate for the Company's Long-Term Incentive Program (cf. company announcements dated 18 January and 8 March 2016).
 
The total number of securities granted was 1,276,725 (assuming 100% vesting). No further grants were made to the CEO during 2017. As of 31 December 2017, 1,021,380 RSUs remain.
 
The value of the grant, USD 3.4m, is based on the Black-Scholes model with an exercise price of DKK/share 96.3, a market value of one TORM A-share of DKK 84.05 (the closing price on 15 January 2016) and assuming 100% vesting. Subsequently, the exercise price was adjusted on 13 December 2016 to DKK 93.6 due to the dividend payment in September 2016. The exercise price was further adjusted in December 2017 to DKK 93.5 due to the dividend payment in September 2017.
