Ramirent - Company Announcement

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF RAMIRENT PLC HAS RESOLVED ON A NEW SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR THE COMPANY EXECUTIVES

Vantaa, Finland, 2012-02-16 08:13 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 

The Board of Directors of Ramirent Plc has approved a new share-based incentive
program for the executives of the company. The aim of the new program is to
combine the objectives of the shareholders and the executives in order to
increase the value of the company, to commit the executives to the company and
to offer the executives a competitive reward program based on holding the
Company's shares. The new program includes matching shares and performance
shares, and the program is targeted at approximately 50 executives for the
earning period 2012—2014. The members of the Group Management Team are included
in the target group of the new incentive program. 

The new program includes one earning period, the calendar years 2012—2014. The
potential reward from the program for the earning period 2012—2014 will be
based on the Group's cumulative Economic Profit and on the Group's Total
Shareholder Return (TSR). In order to receive shares under the program, the
prerequisite for the top management is that an executive acquires and holds
certain amount of the Company's shares in accordance with the decision by the
Board of Directors. 

The potential reward from the earning period 2012—2014 will be paid partly in
the Company's shares and partly in cash in 2015. The cash payment is intended
to cover the personal taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. No
reward will be paid to an executive, if his or her employment or service with
the Group Company ends before the reward payment. 

The maximum reward to be paid on the basis of the earning period 2012—2014 will
correspond to the value of up to 350,000 Ramirent Plc shares (including also
the proportion to be paid in cash).
