Lassila & Tikanoja - Company Announcement

A new share-based incentive programme for Lassila & Tikanoja’s key personnel

Helsinki, Finland, 2012-12-18 07:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 
Lassila & Tikanoja plc  Stock Exchange Release   18 December 2012 8.00 am

Lassila & Tikanoja plc's Board of Directors decided at a meeting held on 17
December 2012 on a new share-based incentive programme to form a part of the
incentive and commitment scheme for the company's key personnel. 

The programme's earnings period begins on 1 January 2013 and ends on 31
December 2013. Potential rewards will be paid during the year following the
earnings period partly as shares and partly in cash. Potential rewards to be
paid for the year 2013 will be based on the EVA result of Lassila & Tikanoja
group. 

No reward will be paid if a key person's employment ends before the reward
payment. Any shares earned through the incentive programme shall be held for a
minimum period of two years following the payment. After that, the Group
Executives are still required to hold company shares with a value equal to
their gross salary for six months and the other programme participants with a
value equal to their gross salary for three months as long as they are employed
by the company. The programme covers 10 persons. 

A maximum total of 53,300 Lassila & Tikanoja plc shares may be paid out on the
basis of the programme. Their value corresponds to EUR 0.6 million calculated
using the closing price of 17 December 2012. A maximum cost of the programme in
total will be EUR 1.2 million. 

The shares to be paid out as potential rewards will be transferred from the
shares held by the company, and therefore the incentive programme will have no
diluting effect on the share value.
