Digia to replace the current share-based bonus scheme with a new long-term
share-based incentive scheme 

Digia Plc's Board of Directors has decided to establish a new long-term
share-based incentive scheme. The Board shall confirm the target group of the
long-term incentive scheme separately. In principle, the target group consists
of the CEO and the management of the company. The scheme is designed to conjoin
the goals of the company's owners and management in order to increase the value
of the company and to commit the executive management to the company and its
long-term objectives. 
This scheme shall replace the previously decided share bonus scheme intended to
run until 2017. 

The new long-term incentive scheme covers the calendar years 2017-2019. It
offers the participants the opportunity to earn company shares if the targets
set by the Board of Directors for three-year bonus period are reached. 

The targets are based on the company's revenue and earnings per share (EPS).
The EPS meter has three earning periods, the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, for
which the Board sets targets at the beginning of each earning period. The
earning period of the Revenue meter is 2017-2019, and the target revenue has
been set at the 2019 target revenue level. During the bonus period, the CEO of
the company and other members of the scheme have the right to a bonus the total
value of which may not exceed the equivalent of 500,000 Digia Plc shares. If
the requirements are met, the share-based bonus based on the new scheme is paid
for both meters after the bonus period has ended in 2020. All bonuses under
this scheme will be paid as a 50/50 combination of shares and cash. Primarily,
the cash portion of the bonus will be used to cover taxes and other comparable
costs arising from the scheme. 

As a rule, the bonus is not paid if a member resigns or the member's employment
or post is terminated prior to the date of payment of bonuses in accordance
with the incentive scheme. Under certain conditions, the Board has the option
to decide on possible bonuses already received and on bonuses for the current
earnings period in accordance with the pro-rata principle.
