Alisa Pankki Oyj: Alisa Bank Plc establishes a new share-based incentive plan for key employees

The Board of Directors of Alisa Bank Plc has resolved to establish a new share-based incentive plan for key employees of the group. The purpose of the plan is to align the interests of the company's shareholders and key employees to increase the company's value in the long-term, to retain the key employees in the company and to offer them a competitive incentive plan based on earning the company's shares. 

The Performance Share Plan 2024-2028 consists of one (1) two and a half (2,5) year and two (2) three (3) year performance periods, concerning the financial years 2024-2026, 2025-2027 and 2026-2028 respectively. The Board of Directors will resolve annually on the details of a performance period.

In the plan, the target group has an opportunity to earn Alisa Bank Plc's shares based on performance. The performance criterion of the first performance period's 2024-2026 measurement period H2/2024 is tied to profit before non-recurring items and taxes in H2/2024. The Board of Directors will set performance criteria for the measurement periods 2025 and 2026 later. The target group of the performance period 2024-2026 consists of approximately 10 key employees, including the members of the Management Team and the interim CEO. 

The potential rewards from each performance period will be paid after the end of the performance period within approximately four (4) years in five (5) instalments, in accordance with the financial sector legislation. Before payment, the rewards may be reduced based on risk adjustments. The payment of each reward instalment is followed by a one-year (1) retention period, during which the participant cannot dispose of the shares paid as a reward.

The value of the rewards to be paid on the basis of the first performance period corresponds to a maximum total of 1 472 109 shares of Alisa Bank Plc (including the proportion to be paid in cash), which corresponds to approximately EUR 249 000 calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Alisa Bank Plc's share on 7 August 2024. The potential rewards will be paid partly in Alisa Bank Plc's shares and partly in cash. The cash proportion of the reward is intended to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the reward to the key employee. As a rule, no reward will be paid if the key employee's employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.  

The Management Team member must hold 50 per cent of the received shares, until the value of the Management Team member's total shareholding in Alisa Bank Plc equals to 50 per cent of their annual base salary for the calendar year preceding the payment of the reward. Correspondingly, the CEO must hold 50 per cent of the received shares, until the value of the CEO's total shareholding in Alisa Bank Plc equals to 100 per cent of the CEO's annual base salary for the preceding calendar year. Such number of shares must be held for as long as the membership in the Management Team or the position as the CEO continues.
