The Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation resolved on an incentive plan for key personnel

The Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation has approved a new share-based incentive plan for the Group’s key personnel. The aim of the plan is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase the value of the company, to commit the key personnel to the company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on holding the company shares.

The plan includes one earning period, calendar year 2013. The earnings criterion of the earning period 2013 is the Componenta Group´s result after financial items. 

The potential reward from the earning period 2013 will be paid partly as the company’s shares and partly in cash. The proportion to be paid in cash is intended cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key personnel. The shares cannot be transferred during an approximately two-year restriction period. If a key person’s employment or service ends during the restriction period, he or she must gratuitously return the shares given as reward to the company.

Approximately 20 people belong to the target group of the plan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the earning period 2013 will correspond to the value of a maximum total of 400,000 Componenta Corporation shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash).
