The stock options are granted in order to encourage key personnel for long-term efforts to grow shareholder value, and to increase their commitment to the company by offering them an internationally competitive incentive program.

The stock options are to be marked with the symbol 2014 and a maximum total of 1,500,000 options will be granted.

The share subscription period for the stock options 2014 will be April 1, 2016 - April 30, 2018. The share subscription period begins only if the financial performance of the KONE Group for the financial years 2014-2015 based on the total consideration of the Board of Directors is equal to or better than the average performance of the key competitors of KONE. If the above-mentioned prerequisite does not fulfill, the stock options expire based on the consideration and in the extent and manner decided by the Board of Directors and the terms of the stock options. The share subscription price for the stock option 31.80 euros per share and is further reduced in situations mentioned in the terms, for example with dividends distributed before the subscription of the shares.
