NEW INCENTIVE SCHEME BASED ON SHARE EARNINGS AND GROWTH FOR DIGIA'S MANAGEMENT

DIGIA PLC           STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 27.5.2010 AT 9:00 A.M.


NEW INCENTIVE SCHEME BASED ON SHARE EARNINGS AND GROWTH FOR DIGIA'S MANAGEMENT 

Digia's Board of Directors has decided to launch a new share incentive scheme
for the President and CEO and other group management team members. The scheme
is intended to combine the interests of the shareholders and company's
management for the increase of the company's value. Furthermore, the scheme
targets to have the management committed to the company and offer them a
competitive incentive scheme based on share ownership. 

The scheme will cover four earning periods, which are years 2010-2013. Earning
criteria will be the earning per share (EPS) value reached and growth in net
sales compared to the budgeted net sales during the respective earning period
as to be specified by the Board in more detail. 

The maximum total bonus payable under the scheme amounts to the value of 40.000
shares in the earning period 2010 and to the value of 200.000 shares in
2011-2013 respectively. Half of the bonus will be paid to the President and CEO
and the other half to the other management team members in aggregate. The bonus
will be paid in a 50/50 combination of shares and cash. The cash payment is
used primarily to cover taxes and other applicable fees and levies incurred
from the bonus payment. 

The scheme is a continuation of the share incentive systems adopted for the
group management team and the President and CEO in 2009, which remain in force
pursuant to the earlier decision.
