THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PONSSE PLC RESOLVED ON AN INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY
PERSONNEL
The Board of Directors of Ponsse Plc has approved a new share-based incentive
plan for the Ponsse Group key personnel.
The earning period of the Plan commenced on 1 January 2008 and will end on 31
December 2010. The Board of Directors will decide on the commencement of a new
earning period. The potential reward from the Plan for the earning period
2008—2010 will be based on the dividend adjusted price of the Company's share,
on the Group's cash flow and on the turnover of the after-sale services.
The potential reward from the earning period 2008—2010 will be paid partly as
the Company's shares and partly in cash in 2011. The proportion to be paid in
cash will cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. It is
prohibited to transfer the shares within a two year restriction period. If a key
person's employment or service ends during the restriction period, he/she must
gratuitously return the shares paid as reward to the Company.
The Plan is directed to approximately 20 people. The rewards to be paid on the
basis of the Plan will correspond to the value of a maximum total of 120,000
Ponsse Plc shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash).
