KONECRANES PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE February 3, 2021 at 18:45 EET
The Board of Directors of Konecranes Plc has resolved to establish a new performance share plan
The Board of Directors of Konecranes Plc has resolved to establish a new Performance Share Plan 2021 (the “Plan”) for Konecranes key employees. The Plan has a performance period from 2021 to 2023 with three separate measurement periods and separate targets for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The criterion for the measurement period 2021 is adjusted earnings per Share (EPS). Adjustments to the EPS include defined restructuring costs, mergers and acquisitions related deal costs and other unusual items. The EPS target for the first measurement period has also been resolved by the Board of Directors.
The target group of the Plan for the performance period 2021—2023 consists of a maximum of 170 key employees of the Konecranes group. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period 2021—2023 correspond to the value of a maximum total of 634,921 Konecranes Plc shares. The payment of the total reward takes place in 2024 if the plan term conditions are met.
The potential rewards from the Plan will be paid partly in Konecranes Plc shares and partly in cash after the performance periods. The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the rewards to the plan participants. As a rule, no reward will be paid if plan participant's employment or service ends before the reward payment.
