The Board of Directors of Tecnotree Corporation has approved a new share-based
incentive plan for the Group key employees. 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. 

The new Plan includes three one calendar year performance periods, calendar
years 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Board of Directors will decide on the
performance criteria and on targets to be established for them before the
beginning of each performance period. The prerequisite for receiving reward on
the basis of the Plan's first performance period is that members of the
Management Board and key employees separately determined by the Board of
Directors acquire the Company's shares, as determined by the Board of
Directors. The potential reward of the Plan, for the performance period 2012,
will be based on the Tecnotree Group's Earnings per Share (EPS) and Adjusted
Operating Result, and, for the members of the Management Board and key
employees separately determined by the Board of Directors, also on the
fulfillment of the above-mentioned share purchase prerequisite. No reward will
be paid on the basis of the performance period 2012, if the Group's cash flow
for the fiscal year 2012 is negative. 

The potential reward will be paid partly as the Company's shares and partly in
cash in 2013, on the basis of the performance period 2012, as determined by the
Board of Directors. The proportion to be paid in cash will be used for taxes
and tax-related costs arising from the reward to a key employee. The shares
paid on the basis of the performance period 2012 cannot be transferred during
the restriction period, which will end on 31 December 2014. If a key employee's
employment or service in a Group company ends during the restriction period, he
or she must return the shares given as reward to the Company without
compensation. 

The members of the Group Management Board and key employees separately
determined by the Board of Directors must hold shares earned on the basis of
the Plan, after the restriction period, as long as the value of the Company
shares held by him or her, in total corresponds to 50% of his or her annual
gross salary. 

The Board of Directors may decide to pay the reward also fully in cash. In such
cases the reward will be paid after the restriction period in 2015. The value
of the reward will be determined on the basis of the share price upon reward
payment. If a key employee's employment or service in a Group company ends
before the reward payment, no reward will be paid. 

The value of reward to be paid on the basis of the Plan during one calendar
year corresponds to a key employee's gross annual salary multiplied by two, in
the maximum, upon reward payment. 

The target group of the Plan consists of approximately 25 key employees. The
total amount of rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2012
corresponds to an approximate maximum total of 1.6 million Tecnotree
Corporation shares.
