EVLI PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE ON DECEMBER 16, 2024, AT 4:30 PM (EET/EEST)

Board of Directors of Evli Plc resolved to establish a new share-based incentive plan

The Board of Directors of Evli Plc has resolved to establish a new share-based incentive plan for selected key employees of the group. The purpose of the plan is to align the interests of the company’s shareholders and key employees in order to increase the company’s value in the long term, to commit key employees to implement the company's strategy, objectives and long-term interest and to offer them a competitive incentive plan based on earning the company’s shares.

The plan consists of one three-year performance period, which covers the financial years 2025–2027.

In the plan, the target group has an opportunity to earn Evli Plc’s series B shares based on performance. The performance criteria of the plan are tied to the growth of the Participants’ personal financial targets and sustainability and compliance criteria. The potential rewards from the plan will be paid after the end of the performance period within approximately three (3) years in four (4) instalments, in accordance with the financial sector legislation. Before payment, the rewards may be reduced based on risk adjustments. The payment of each reward instalment is followed by a one-year (1) retention period, during which the participant cannot dispose of the shares paid as a reward.

The value of the rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan corresponds to a maximum total of 295,000 series B shares of Evli Plc, including also the proportion to be paid in cash. The target group consists of approximately 27 key employees, including members of the Executive Group. An Executive Group member must hold 50% of the received shares until the value of the participant's total shareholding in the company corresponds to their annual basic salary for the calendar year preceding the payment of the reward.

The potential reward will be paid partly in Evli Plc’s series B shares and partly in cash. The cash proportion of the reward is intended to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the reward to the key employee. As a rule, no reward will be paid if the key employee's employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.
