KONECRANES PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE  May 11, 2018 at 9:00 am EET

DECISION ON KONECRANES PLC’S PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN CRITERION 2018-2020

The Board of Directors has resolved that the performance criterion for the discretionary period 2018–2020 is the cumulative adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS) of the financial years 2018—2020. Adjustments to the EPS include defined restructuring costs, purchase price allocation amortization and certain other unusual items.

The target group of the plan consists of a maximum of 280 people during the discretionary period 2018—2020. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the discretionary period correspond to the value of a maximum total of 710,000 Konecranes Plc shares. If the target determined by the Board of Directors is attained, the reward payout may be a half of the maximum reward. The maximum reward payout requires that the target is clearly exceeded.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 27, 2018 authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of shares or the transfer of own shares needed for the implementation of the performance share plan. 

The launch and essential terms and conditions of the performance share plan have been published in a stock exchange release on June 16, 2017.
