Uponor Corporation     Stock exchange release   12 February 2016 14:03 EET

Directed share issue under the management share-based incentive plan for
2013–2015 

Based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 17 March
2015, Uponor’s Board of Directors has decided on a directed share issue to the
company’s management, as part of the long-term share-based incentive plan
2013-2015. Based on the Board’s decision, Uponor will transfer, without
payment, 28,601 of the company’s own shares to 9 key employees, as specified in
the rules of the plan. 

Share-based incentive programmes are part of Uponor’s total management
remuneration package, with the purpose of incentivising and motivating
management and aligning the targets of management with shareholders. 

The reward in the LTI Plan 2013-2015 consisted of the following parts:
1) The matching share incentive based on own investment with a three year
vesting period 
2) A performance share plan that depended on the company’s earnings performance
over a three-year performance period. 
Further details are available in the stock exchange release announced on 12
February 2013. 

No new shares will be issued in connection with the plan and therefore the plan
will have no diluting effect. Prior to this directed issue, Uponor held a total
of 97,560 of its own shares, of which 68,959 remain.
