Kemira's Board of Directors has decided on the maximum number of shares, which may be granted under the Restricted Share Plan (RSP) during the year 2026.

The aim of the Restricted Share Plan is to function as a complementary share-based incentive tool to align the objectives of Kemira's shareholders and the employees participating in the plan to enhance the value of the company and to commit the participants to Kemira. In particular, the Restricted Share Plan can be used as a commitment instrument in specific executive recruitment situations. The terms allow the plan to be used with careful consideration also in retention situations.

The Restricted Share Plan is continuous. For each calendar year, the Board approves an annual quota of shares, which can be granted within the respective year under the RSP. The annual quota means a gross number of shares (referring to gross earnings before the withholding of the applicable payroll tax). The total number of shares offered during the year cannot exceed the respective quota approved by the Board.

The plan offers participants an opportunity to receive a predetermined number of company's shares after a specific restriction period, which can vary from twelve (12) to forty (40) months with a decision by the Board of Directors. A reward means a conditional right to receive shares. The reward is paid partly in Kemira shares and partly in cash. The cash portion covers taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the participant. As a rule, no reward will be paid, if a participant's employment or service ends before the reward payment.

The company may apply earning criteria in addition to the continuation of the employment.

Restricted Share Plan 2026

The maximum number of shares that may be granted under the Restricted Share Plan in year 2026 is 103,490 Kemira shares (referring to gross earnings before the withholding of the applicable payroll tax).

In addition to the restricted share plan, Kemira also has performance-based long-term incentive arrangements. Further information on Kemira's share-based long-term incentive is available in the stock exchange releases published on December 16, 2021, and December 16, 2024.
