Componenta - Company Announcement

The Board of Directors of Componenta resolved on an incentive plan for key personnel

Componenta Corporation    Stock Exchange Release 10.3.2010 at 15.00 

The Board of Directors of Componenta Corporation has approved a new share-based
incentive plan for the Group key personnel. The aim of the plan is to combine
the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to increase
the value of the company, to commit the key personnel to the company, and to
offer them a competitive reward plan based on holding the company shares. 

The plan includes three earning periods, calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
The Board of Directors shall decide on the earnings criteria and on targets to
be established for them for each earning period. The earnings criteria of the
earning period 2010 are the Componenta Group´s result after financial items and
net cash flow from operations. 

The potential reward from the earning period 2010 will be paid partly as the
company's shares and partly in cash. The proportion to be paid in cash is
intended cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key
personnel. The shares cannot be transferred during a two-year restriction
period. If a key person's employment or service ends during the restriction
period, a key person must gratuitously return the shares given as reward to the
company. 

During the earning period 2010, approximately 45 people belong to the target
group of the plan. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the earning period
2010 will correspond to the value of a maximum total of 360,000 Componenta
Corporation shares (including also the proportion to be paid in cash).
