In January 2014 Aktia Bank plc's Board has decided to expand the Group's share
ownership scheme to "Share Ownership Scheme 2015". 

The target group included in the share ownership scheme 2015 comprises 16 key
personnel.  The maximum reward paid on the basis of the scheme may amount to
48,000 A shares in Aktia Bank plc and a sum in cash corresponding the value of
the shares. 

The scheme aims to support the long-term strategy of the group; unify the
objectives of the owners and key personnel; raise the value of the company; and
tie the key personnel to the company; offering them a competitive incentive
scheme based on share ownership in Aktia. 

The shareholder scheme gives key personnel in Aktia the opportunity to receive
Aktia shares as compensation for acquisition of Aktia Bank plc's A shares with
private means. The compensation is paid to key personnel before end of May
2018, and comprises both shares and cash, providing that the key person's
employment continues.
