3. New Ordinary Shares awarded to PDMRs in lieu of cash
As described within the Remuneration Report of the 2020 Annual
Report, for qualifying participants, the STI is partly paid in cash
and partly deferred and settled as Bonus Awards (as per points 1

To ensure alignment with shareholders in a challenging economic
environment, it was concluded that two thirds of the cash component
of the STI should be settled in equity (new Ordinary Shares in lieu
of cash), which would be subject to a vesting period until 31

ABOUT BUSHVELD MINERALS LIMITED
Bushveld Minerals is a low-cost, vertically integrated primary
vanadium producer. It is one of only three operating primary
vanadium producers, owning 2 of the world's 4 operating primary
vanadium processing facilities. In 2020, the Company produced more
than 3,600 mtV, representing approximately three per cent of the
global vanadium market. With a diversified vanadium product
portfolio serving the needs of the steel, energy and chemical
sectors, the Company participates in the entire vanadium value
chain through its two main pillars: Bushveld Vanadium, which mines
and processes vanadium ore; and Bushveld Energy, an energy storage
solutions provider. Bushveld Vanadium is targeting to materially
grow its vanadium production and achieve an annualised steady state
production run rate of between 5,000 mtVp.a. and 5,400 mtVp.a by
the end of 2022, from projects currently being implemented. Beyond
that, pre-feasibility studies are in progress to determine the
optimal path to increase production even further to a steady state
production run rate of between 6,400 mtVp.a. and 6,800 mtVp.a. in
the medium-term and to a steady state production run rate of 8,400
mtVp.a in the long term.
Bushveld Energy is focused on developing and promoting the role
of vanadium in the growing global energy storage market through the
advancement of vanadium-based energy storage systems, specifically
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries ("VRFBs").
