The Board of Directors of Lemonsoft Oyj has decided to confirm the details of the second performance period of the share-based incentive plan for the selected key employees of the company. The aim of the plan is to align the interests of the shareholders and the key employees in the long term, encourage management to invest personally in the company’s shares, retain key personnel, and offer a competitive reward system in which participants may earn shares as compensation for performance and their own investment.
 
This share-based incentive plan, established in 2024, includes three performance periods covering the financial years 2024–2026, 2025–2027, and 2026–2028. The Board decides annually on the commencement and details of each performance period. A prerequisite for receiving a reward is that the participant allocates or acquires a certain number of Lemonsoft Oyj shares, as determined by the Board.
 
The rewards for each performance period will be paid partly in Lemonsoft Oyj shares and partly in cash by the end of May in the year following the performance period. The cash portion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. In general, no reward will be paid if a participant’s employment or service with the group ends before the reward payment.
 
The performance criterion in the second performance period 2025–2027 is the Total Shareholder Return of the company’s share (TSR). The target group of the plan for this period consists of 4 persons (including the CEO and three members of the Management Team). The gross rewards for this second period correspond to a maximum total of 102,675 Lemonsoft Oyj shares (including the cash portion). The final number of shares depends on the participant’s share acquisition and achievement of the TSR levels. The reward may be capped if the limits set by the Board for the payable reward from the performance period are reached.
