Terveystalo Plc Stock exchange release 30 November 2017 at 8:00 a.m.
The Board of Directors of Terveystalo Plc resolved on key employee incentive plan
The Board of Directors of Terveystalo Plc has resolved to establish a new share-based incentive plan directed to the Group key employees. The aim of the plan is to align the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the Company in the long-term, to retain the key employees at the Company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan that is based on earning and accumulating the Company's shares.
The Performance Share Plan includes three performance periods, calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Board of Directors will resolve on the performance criteria and on the required performance levels for each criterion at the beginning of each performance period.
During the performance period 2018, the plan offers the key employees a possibility to earn rewards based on the Company achieving the required operational targets and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) levels.
The potential rewards from the performance share plan will be paid partly in Terveystalo Plc shares and partly in cash approximately two years after the performance periods. The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the plan participants. As a rule, no reward will be paid if a plan participant terminates his or her employment or service before the reward payment.
The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2018 correspond to an approximate maximum total of 943,000 Terveystalo Plc shares, including currently allocated and unallocated shares as well as the proportion to be paid in cash. The plan is directed to approximately 80 key employees, including the members of the Management Group during the performance period 2018.
