Citycon resolved on incentive plans for key employees

CITYCON OYJ Stock Exchange Release 11 February 2015 at 9:03 hrs

The Board of Directors of Citycon Oyj has approved two new share-based
incentive plans for the Group key employees, a Performance Share Plan 2015 and
a Restricted Share Plan 2015. 

The aim of the new plans is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and
the key employees in order to increase the value of the company in the
long-term, to bind the key employees to the company, and to offer them
competitive reward plans based on earning and accumulating the company´s
shares. 

Performance Share Plan 2015

The new Performance Share Plan 2015 includes three performance periods,
calendar years 2015—2017, 2016—2018, 2017—2019. The Board of Directors of the
company will decide on the Plan's performance criteria and required performance
levels for each criterion at the beginning of each performance period. The
Performance Share Plan is directed to approximately 30 people, including the
members of the Corporate Management Committee. 

The potential reward of the Plan from the performance period 2015—2017 will be
based on the Total Shareholder Return of the Company´s share (TSR criterion).
The rewards to be paid on the basis of the Plan correspond to the value of an
approximate maximum total of 3,558,300 Citycon Oyj shares (including also the
proportion to be paid in cash). An approximate maximum total of 1,186,100
Citycon Oyj shares will be paid on the basis of the performance period
2015—2017 (including also the proportion to be paid in cash). 

The potential reward from the performance period 2015—2017 will be paid partly
in the company's shares and partly in cash in 2018. The cash proportion is
intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the
participant. 

As a rule, no reward will be paid from the plan, if a participant´s employment
or service ends during calendar years 2015—2017. 

Restricted Share Plan 2015

The rewards from the new Restricted Share Plan 2015 may be allocated in
2015—2017. The reward will be based on a valid employment or service contract
of a key employee upon the reward payment, and it will be paid partly in the
company's shares and partly in cash after the end of a two-year or a three-year
vesting period. 

The Plan is directed only to selected key employees, including the members of
the Corporate Management Committee. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the
Plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 500,000 Citycon
Oyj shares (including also the cash proportion to be used for taxes and
tax-related costs).
