Okmetic's board of directors has confirmed in its meeting on 11 February 2013 the remuneration that shall be granted for the earning period 1 January - 31 December 2012, based on the realisation of the targets set in the programme. The rewards of the share reward programme will be paid in Okmetic shares and in a monetary amount covering the taxes. The annual general meeting of Okmetic Oyj has on 12 April 2012 authorised the board of directors to transfer own shares held by the company for instance through a directed share issue. The company's board of directors has granted the persons participating in the share reward programme share rewards in accordance with the terms and conditions of the programme by means of a directed share issue without payment comprising a total of 18,540 own shares held by the company. The directed share issue without payment will be executed in full as there is no consideration related to the issue. The shares will entitle to shareholders' rights when the shares have been transferred to the shareholder. The share issue does not affect the share capital of the company. After the share issue, the company will hold 209,406 own shares. The shares earned based on the share reward programme must be held for at least two years after the reward disbursement. In addition, the president must hold at least half of the shares received as share reward for as long he is in the service of the company.
