The Board of Directors of Citycon Oyj has approved a new Restricted Share Plan 2018—2021 for the Citycon´s incoming CEO, F. Scott Ball who will commence his appointment as CEO on 1 January 2019. The appointment of the new CEO was published in the stock exchange release dated 2 November 2018.

The new CEO Restricted Share Plan 2018—2021 includes three vesting periods ending on 15 November 2019, 2020 or 2021. The rewards to be paid on the basis of this plan correspond to the value of a total of 600,000 Citycon shares including also the cash proportion to be used for taxes and tax-related costs. The rewards from the plan will be paid in three equal instalments, partly in the company´s shares and partly in cash, after the end of each vesting period, unless the CEO has terminated his director contract.
