Share-based incentive plans
The Board of Directors of Etteplan Oyj decided on May 31, 2017, to establish a new share-based incentive plan for
the Group's key personnel. The incentive plan includes one earning period, comprising the calendar years 2017-2019. The earnings criteria are Etteplan Group's revenue increase and the development of Total Shareholder Return (TSR). The potential reward will be paid partly in the Company's shares and partly in cash. The proportion to be paid in cash is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key personnel. Approximately 20 people belong to the target group of the incentive plan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan will correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 260,000 Etteplan Oyj shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash). The shares to be paid out as potential rewards will be transferred from the shares held by the Company or shares acquired from the market, and therefore the incentive plan will have no diluting effect on the value of the share. The potential nonrecurring reward of the incentive plan will paid after the earning period in 2020.
During the 2019 financial period no nonrecurring rewards from share-based incentive plans were paid for either the Company's President and CEO or key personnel.
