CEO’s Long-Term Incentive Programme

The CEO participated in long-term Performance-Based Matching Share Plan that was determined by the Board of Directors and launched in 6 July 2022. CEO invested a total of 32,258 of existing Purmo Group’s class C shares in in the programme. CEO is entitled to a similar pay-out with all other participants in the long-term incentive plan.

The performance criterion of the plan is Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the Purmo Group class C share as set by the Board of Directors. Achievement of set TSR targets will determine the proportion of the maximum reward payable to participants. The minimum threshold for reward pay-out is a share price of EUR 16.00 per share. The maximum reward is earned at a share price of EUR 24.00 per share. Accumulated dividends and return of capital from reserves distributed during 2022-2027 are added to the share market price when calculating the TSR. The new Performance-Based Matching Share Plan comprises one performance period from the financial year 2022 to 2025. The performance period is followed by a pay-out period covering the financial years 2026 and 2027. The reward will be paid in both Purmo Group class C shares and in cash to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from receipt of the reward.
