RAISIO'S SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE SCHEME 2010

Raisio Plc, Stock Exchange Release, 18 March 2010                               

RAISIO'S SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE SCHEME 2010                                      

In May 2008, the Board of Directors of Raisio plc decided on a share-based      
incentive scheme of three years as a part of the incentive and commitment scheme
offered to Raisio Group's key personnel. The purpose of the scheme is to combine
the objectives of owners and key personnel in order to increase the             
capitalization value of the company, commit the key personnel to the company and
to offer them a competitive reward system based on shareholding.                

The scheme allows, during three years, to distribute a maximum total of         
1,600,000 free shares already in the company's possession after the share       
repurchases carried out in 2005-2008. The rewards are paid partly as company's  
shares, partly in cash. Cash payments are made to cover the taxes and fiscal    
fees arising from share-based rewards.                                          

On 18 March 2010, the Board of Directors of Raisio plc has decided on the       
share-based incentive scheme for the third earning period, which is the         
financial year 2010. The earnings criterion applied is operating result in      
proportion to net sales, in addition to which a prerequisite for receipt of the 
reward is that a certain net sales during the fiscal year 2010 will be reached. 
The number of free shares to be distributed is a maximum total of 600,000. The  
amount of earned rewards will be determined on the grounds of reaching of set   
targets after the completion of financial statements in the spring 2011, and the
potential reward will be paid to the persons within the scheme in December 2012.
The shares distributed as a reward are subject to a disposal restriction and    
return obligation that are valid until 1 January 2014 in case the employment or 
job contract of the person in question will end prior to the expiration of the  
disposal restriction. There are 61 persons within the scheme in the third       
earnings period.
