THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF GLASTON CORPORATION RESOLVED ON KEY PERSONNEL INCENTIVE PLAN 
 

The Board of Directors of Glaston Corporation has resolved on a new Performance Share Plan for the Group key personnel (the Plan). The aim of the new 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 long-term shareholding in the company. 

The new Plan includes three performance periods, calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014. Glaston’sBoard of Directors will decide on the Plan’s performance criteria and on targets to be established for the performance criteria at the beginning of each performance period. The potential reward from the Plan for the performance period 2012 will be based on the Glaston Group´s Operating Profit and net result, and it will be paid partly in the Company’s shares and partly in cash in 2013. The aim is that the proportion to be paid in cash will cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to a key person. No reward will be paid, if a key person’s employment or service ends before the reward payment. The maximum amount of rewards to be paid to a key person has been limited.

The shares paid on the basis of performance periods may not be transferred during the restriction periods, which will end approximately two years from the reward payment. Should a key person’s employment or service end during the restriction period, he or she must gratuitously return the shares given as reward to the Company.The members of the Executive Management Group must hold a half of the shares received on the basis of the new Plan until the value of his or her shareholding in total corresponds to the value of his or her gross annual salary. Such number of shares must be held as long as his or her employment or service in a Group company continues.

The target group of the Plan consists of approximately 25 people. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the Plan covering three years correspond to the maximum total of 4.8 million Glaston Corporation shares.
