The Board of Directors of Lemonsoft Oyj has confirmed the terms of the third performance period of the share-based incentive plan for selected key employees of the company.

The aim of the plan is to align the long-term interests of the shareholders and the key employees, encourage management to invest personally in the company’s shares, retain key personnel, and offer a competitive reward structure in which participants may earn shares based on performance and their own investment.

This Performance Matching Share Plan 2024–2028, 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 detailed terms of each performance period. A prerequisite for receiving a reward is that the participant allocates or acquires a number of Lemonsoft Oyj shares 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 end of the performance period. The cash portion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. As a rule, no reward will be paid if the participant’s employment or service with the group ends before the reward payment.

The performance criterion for the third performance period 2026–2028 is the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the company’s share. The target group for this performance period consists of 6 persons, including the CEO and five members of the Management Team. The gross rewards to be paid for the third performance period correspond to a maximum total value of 142,500 Lemonsoft Oyj shares, including the portion to be paid in cash. The final number of shares depends on the participant’s share acquisition and the achievement of the performance criteria.

The reward may be reduced if the limits set by the Board for the payable reward from the performance period are reached.
