Outokumpu's next plan period for share-based programs
The Board of Directors has approved the commencement of Outokumpu's share-based
programs, Performance Share Plan and Restricted Share Pool, for the period
2026-2028. The plans commence at the beginning of 2026.
The earning criteria of the Performance Share Plan (PSP) for this period are
Outokumpu's return on capital employed (80% weight) and CO\2\ emissions per ton
of crude steel produced (20% weight). Both criteria must be met for the plan to
pay out. The maximum number of participants in the plan period 2026-2028 is 200
key employees. The maximum number of gross shares (taxes included) that can be
allocated is 3,700,000.
The Restricted Share Pool (RSP) is used for a limited number of employees, i.e.,
key recruitments, exceptional performance, high potential, retention need, and
other individual specific situations. The maximum number of gross shares (taxes
included) that can be allocated is 500,000 shares for the plan period 2026-2028.
The share rewards will be distributed in the spring of 2027 (RSP's first
tranche), 2028 (RSP's second tranche) and 2029 (RSP's third tranche and PSP), if
the employment conditions and performance criterion are met. Applicable taxes
will be deducted from gross shares, and the remaining net value will be
delivered to the participants in Outokumpu shares.
