Raisio’s share-based incentive plan for 2014 – 2016


Raisio plc   Stock Exchange Release 9 December 2013 at 15.30

RAISIO'S SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN FOR 2014 - 2016

The Board of Directors of Raisio plc has approved a new share based incentive
plan for the Group key employees. The performance period of the plan begins on
January 1, 2014 and will end on December 31, 2016. The potential reward for the
performance period 2014 - 2016 is based on the total shareholder return (TSR)
of Raisio free shares (series V). 

Any rewards for the performance period 2014-2016 will be paid partly as free
shares and partly in cash in 2017. The cash proportion is intended to cover
taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the key employees. No
reward will principally be paid, if a key employee's employment or service at
the Company ends before reward payment. 

The Plan is directed to approximately 40 persons. The reward to be paid on the
basis of the performance period 2014 - 2016 corresponds to a total maximum of
approximately 1,000,000 free shares, including the amount to be paid in cash. 

The Board of Directors recommends that the key employees belonging to the
target group will continue to hold a considerable portion of shares received on
the basis of this plan until the value of their share ownership corresponds to
six months gross salary. 

The plan now approved for the performance period 2014 - 2016 is the second
under the long term incentive scheme approved by the Board of Directors in
February 2013. The first plan covers the period 2013 - 2015. The aim of the
plan is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in
order to increase the value of the Company, to commit the key employees to the
Company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan that is based on the
increase of shareholder value and earning of Raisio shares. The Board of
Directors of the Company will annually decide on the potential launch of a new
performance period, the length of such a performance period and on the
performance criteria and their targets for the performance period.
