Outcome and payment of share based incentive scheme for the earning period

Aktia plc introduced a new share based incentive scheme for key personnel in
the Group in 2011. The first earning period of the share based incentive scheme
2011-2012 ended 31 December 2012. The outcome of the earnings criteria was
100%, and rewards for the period will be paid in full to key persons. The
reward is paid in accordance with the terms of the share based incentive scheme
and the decree issued by the Ministry of Finance on postponed compensation so
that a part of the reward is paid in 2013 and the remaining reward in three
instalments over a time of three years. A waiting period is imposed on each of
the instalments. 

The Board of Directors of Aktia plc has on 14 March 2013 decided to divest
56,528 Aktia series A shares for payment of the rewards according to the share
based incentive scheme in 2013. The shares will be traded on the stock exchange
on 20 March 2013 for consideration to the key persons.
