The Board of Directors of Konecranes Plc has resolved the criterion for the measurement period 2022 of the Performance Share Plans 2020 and 2021
The Board of Directors of Konecranes Plc has resolved adjusted earnings per Share (EPS) as the criterion for 2022, which is the third measurement period of the Performance Share Plan 2020 and the second measurement period of the Performance Share Plan 2021. In addition, the Board has defined EPS targets for the first half of 2022 in preparation of the planned merger with Cargotec. Adjustments to the EPS include defined restructuring costs, mergers and acquisitions related deal costs and other unusual items.
The performance period of both Performance Share Plans 2020 and 2021 includes three separate one-year-long measurement periods and separate targets for each year with equal weighting. Payments of potential rewards will only take place after the three-year-long performance period if the Plan terms and conditions are met. The launch and essential terms and conditions of the Plan 2020 are available in a stock exchange release published on July 23, 2020 and those of the Plan 2021 in a stock exchange release published on February 3, 2021.
