THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LAROX CORPORATION DECIDED ON AN INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY PERSONNEL


The Board of Directors of Larox Corporation has decided on a new share-based    
incentive plan for the Larox Group key personnel.                               

The plan includes one four-year earning period which began on 1 January 2007 and
will end on 31 December 2010. The prerequisite for participation in the plan and
receipt of the reward is that a key person owns Larox Corporation B-shares to   
the amount decided by the Board of Directors in advance.                        

Reward will be paid on the basis of the plan partly as the Company's B-shares   
and partly in cash in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The proportion to be paid in cash    
will cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. It is prohibited
to transfer the shares within two years from the reward payment (restriction    
period). If a key person's employment or service ends during the restriction    
period, he/she must gratuitously return the shares paid as reward to the        
Company. As to the members of the Management Team, the owning obligation        
concerning the shares received on the basis of the plan will continue as long as
their employment or service in the Group continues, in the manner decided by the
Board of Directors.                                                             

The potential reward from the plan will be based on the Group's key figure      
Earnings per Share (EPS).                                                       

The plan is directed to 30 - 40 people.                                         

The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan will correspond to a maximum    
total of approximately 300,000 Larox Corporation B-shares.
