We aim to create a culture that combines an entrepreneurial and team- based approach with ethical behavior. As of year-end 2014 we had 236 employees around the globe. We are determined to incorporate the ideas and experiences new employees bring to our organization while retaining our unique culture and upholding our Business Principles. In 2014 we undertook a renewed focus on our international human resources and increased training for local non-U.S. employees. Approximately 88 of our employees in our countries of operation were local working for Kosmos in their home country. We are committed to developing our workforce and growing capability organizationally and individually. We do this through secondments our new intern program personal development and opportunities for training. We provide development opportunities to qualified employees hired into our local offices through assignments in our Dallas office enabling them to assume greater responsibility and handle the increasingly complex work that we are transitioning to the local country offices. In May 2014 Kosmos undertook a reorganization to ensure the companys structure and processes were efficient and effective and that the company was prepared for future challenges. This reorganization was ahead of the recent significant drop in oil price and resulted in 35 jobs lost in our Dallas office. Kosmos provided generous severance packages and job counseling to the affected employees. Please see the Performance Data on page 37 for employment metrics. KOSMOS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Kosmos works hard to identify and then prevent or minimize any environmental impact from our operations. Our environmental policies and procedures are clearly defined in The Standard our internal HSE management system. The Standard sets out the performance measures that we use to design and monitor our corporate country and project-level activities. A copy of The Standard is available on our website at httpwww. kosmosenergy.comresponsibility health-safety-environment-security.php. This management system establishes and communicates expectations in broad management categories including safety and health risk management emergency preparedness and environmental protection. Specific goals and targets for each element are benchmarked and measured to track the companys performance. Our Board of Directors through the HSES Board Committee oversees our environmental performance as well as management system implementation. We conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment EIA for drilling and seismic acquisition projects the results of which are then incorporated into an Environmental Management Plan. Located in Paramaribo Suriname The Kennedy School is a well-regarded institute for hearing impaired and deaf children. Kosmos has provided educational resources for the primary school classes as well as items for vocational classes such as sewing machines. 9
