TAALERI PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 30 October 2017 at 16:15
Taaleri Plc’s Board of Directors decides on key personnel incentive scheme
Taaleri Plc’s Board of Directors has made the decision to establish a new share-based incentive scheme for the Group’s key personnel. The purpose of the scheme is to bring together the goals of owners and key personnel in order to increase the company’s value in the long term as well as commit the key personnel to implementing the company strategy and provide them with a competitive bonus system based on the earning and accrual of the company’s shares.
The share bonus plan has three earning periods lasting three years each: 1 November 2017–31 October 2020, 1 November 2018–31 October 2021 and 1 November 2019–31 October 2022. The Board of Directors will decide on the earning criteria and the targets set for each earning criterion at the beginning of each earning period.
For the 2017–2020 earning period, the scheme’s target group includes approximately 10 key persons, including the members of the Group’s management team. Any bonuses awarded under the scheme for the 2017–2020 earning period will be based on the gross yield of Taaleri Plc's share. The bonuses paid for the 2017–2020 earning period will correspond with the value of no more than 180,000 Taaleri Plc shares, including the part paid in cash.
Any bonuses awarded under the scheme for the 2017–2020 earning period will be paid after the end of the earning period within approximately four years in four instalments. The bonus will be paid partly in the company’s shares and partly in cash. The cash part is intended to cover the taxes and tax-like charges incurred from the bonus to the key personnel. In principle, if a key person’s employment contract or employment relationship ends before the payment of the bonus, no bonus is paid. Shares paid as a bonus may not be surrendered to shareholders during the one-year waiting period.
The key personnel must retain ownership of the net shares paid to them based on the scheme until their shareholding in the company corresponds with the value of their gross annual salary. They must own this number of shares for as long as their employment contract or employment relationship in a Group company continues.
