Kemira Oyj, Stock Exchange Release, December 16, 2025 at 4.45 pm (EET)
Kemira's Board of Directors has decided on the maximum number of shares, which
may be granted under the Restricted Share Plan (RSP) during the year 2026.
The aim of the Restricted Share Plan is to function as a complementary share
-based incentive tool to align the objectives of Kemira's shareholders and the
employees participating in the plan to enhance the value of the company and to
commit the participants to Kemira. In particular, the Restricted Share Plan can
be used as a commitment instrument in specific executive recruitment situations.
The terms allow the plan to be used with careful consideration also in retention
situations.
The Restricted Share Plan is continuous. For each calendar year, the Board
approves an annual quota of shares, which can be granted within the respective
year under the RSP. The annual quota means a gross number of shares (referring
to gross earnings before the withholding of the applicable payroll tax). The
total number of shares offered during the year cannot exceed the respective
quota approved by the Board.
The plan offers participants an opportunity to receive a predetermined number of
company's shares after a specific restriction period, which can vary from twelve
(12) to forty (40) months with a decision by the Board of Directors. A reward
means a conditional right to receive shares. The reward is paid partly in Kemira
shares and partly in cash. The cash portion covers taxes and tax-related costs
arising from the reward to the participant. As a rule, no reward will be paid,
if a participant's employment or service ends before the reward payment.
The company may apply earning criteria in addition to the continuation of the
employment.
Restricted Share Plan 2026
The maximum number of shares that may be granted under the Restricted Share Plan
in year 2026 is 103,490 Kemira shares (referring to gross earnings before the
withholding of the applicable payroll tax).
In addition to the restricted share plan, Kemira also has performance-based long
-term incentive arrangements. Further information on Kemira's share-based long
-term incentive is available in the stock exchange releases published on
December 16, 2021, and December 16, 2024.
