TALENTUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED MANAGEMENT'S SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Directors of Talentum Oyj has approved a new share-based incentive
plan for the Group Management. 

The plan includes three earning periods. The earning period lasts for at least
one financial year and not more than three financial years. The first earning
period began on 1 January 2010 and will end on 31 December 2010. The rewards
will be paid partly in the Company's shares and partly in cash payment after
the end of each earning period. 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 earned from the earning period within two years from the
end of the earning period. Thus the total length of the plan is five years.
After this, the CEO of the Company must, however, own 50% of the shares earned
on the basis of the plan as long as the service of the CEO continues and one
year after the end of the service. The Board of Directors will later decide on
the following earning periods and transfer restrictions concerning shares
earned on the basis of those earning periods. 

The potential reward from the plan for the earning period 2010 will be based on
the Talentum Group's net sales and operating profit as well as on the
shareholder return of the Talentum share. 

The incentive plan is directed to nine management members during the earning
period 2010. 

If the targets of the plan are attained in full in the earning period 2010, the
rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan will total not more than 161,500
shares, and cash the amount which will cover taxes and tax-related costs
arising from the reward. 

If the targets of the plan are attained in full, within three years the rewards
to be paid on the basis of the plan will total not more than 484,500 shares,
and cash the amount which will cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from
the reward. 


This plan substitutes the corresponding plan, which was introduced on January
1, 2007, and which expired on December 31, 2009. Rewards paid on the basis of
the plan totalled in 74,970 shares in 2007.
