Share-based incentive plan
The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on a new share-based incentive plan for the Group key personnel in March 2011. The share-based incentive plan offers the target group the opportunity to receive Etteplan Oyj shares as remuneration for achieving the set targets.
The plan includes three earning periods: calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013. The amount of remunerations paid is tied to the objectives that are set annually. The Board is authorized to make decisions related to the share-based incentive plan by earnings period.
At the beginning of each earnings period, the Board of Directors reviews the target group and specifies the maximum number of shares per person that can be earned. Remunerations paid out from the incentive plan are paid in three instalments, partly as company shares and partly in cash. The part paid in cash covers the taxes and tax-like fees paid for the remuneration. An earnings period is followed by a mandatory two-year ownership period. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan from all earning periods 2011, 2012 and 2013 will correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 810,000 Etteplan Oyj shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash).
If employment is terminated during the earnings or ownership period, the shares must be returned to the Company without compensation.
In 2011 16 people belonged to the target group of the plan. The earnings criteria of the earning period 2011 were the Etteplan Group´s operating profit (EBIT) and revenue. The Company did not dispose company-held shares for the 2011 earnings period to the employees who were part of share-based incentive plan.
