The Board of Directors of Digia Plc has decided to establish a new long-term share-based incentive scheme. The Board will confirm the target group of the long-term incentive scheme separately. In principle, the target group consists of the CEO and the company’s senior executives. In addition, the scheme may include other individual key personnel. The purpose of the scheme is to align the goals of the company’s shareholders and management to increase the company’s value, and to commit executive management to the company and its long-term objectives.
The new long-term incentive scheme covers the calendar years 2026–2028. It offers participants the opportunity to earn company shares if the targets set by the Board of Directors for the three-year reward period are achieved.
The targets are based on the company’s net sales, cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2026–2028, a sustainability objective, and the share of international net sales, which measures a key strategic focus area of the company.
The earnings period for the indicators is three years (2026–2028), and the targets for all indicators have been set for the end of the earnings period. During the reward period, the company’s CEO and other participants in the scheme are entitled to a reward corresponding to a maximum of 550,000 Digia Plc shares in total. If the conditions are met, the share-based rewards under the new scheme will be paid for all indicators after the end of the reward period in spring 2029. The rewards under the scheme will be paid as a combination of shares and cash. The cash component will primarily be used to cover taxes and tax-related charges arising from the reward.
As a rule, the reward will not be paid if a participant resigns or if the participant’s employment or service relationship is terminated before the reward payment date specified in the incentive scheme. Under certain conditions, the Board may, at its discretion, decide on possible rewards in accordance with the pro rata principle for the earnings period.
