In connection with discontinuing the scheme, the Board of Directors decided to pay cash compensation for the performance periods ending due to the discontinuation to key personnel who have participated in LTI 2020–2022 and LTI 2021–2023 plans initiated thereunder. The total amount of cash compensation to be paid out due to the discontinuation of the scheme is approximately EUR 0.1 million. The cash compensation was recognised in its entirety as an expense for the financial period 2022 and will be paid out after the adoption of Sievi Capital’s financial statements for the financial period 2022. The discontinuation of the share scheme relates to the change in strategy announced by Sievi Capital on 15 December 2022. Consequently, the company’s Board of Directors has determined that there are no more grounds for continuing the share scheme established in March 2020. Following the discontinuation of the share scheme, Sievi Capital’s diluted earnings per share are equal to the undiluted earnings per share. The discontinued performance-based share scheme consisted of three individual plans commencing annually. Each plan included a three-year performance period that always began on 1 January as well as the award of shares, if any, at the end of the performance period, provided that the award terms and conditions were fulfilled. The commencement of each individual plan has required separate approval by the company’s Board of Directors. In 2021, Sievi Capital’s Board of Directors decided that the third plan of the performance-based share scheme, which was originally planned to begin in 2022, would not be commenced. Sievi Capital announced the establishment of its performance-based share scheme on 6 March 2020. LTI 2020–2022The Board of Directors has approved the first plan (LTI 2020–2022) under the share scheme. Its vesting period started on 1 January 2020 and the award of shares, if any, will take place in spring 2023, provided that the performance targets that the Board of Directors has set for the plan are achieved. The shares awarded, if any, are Sievi Capital shares. The performance targets applied to the first LTI 2020–2022 plan are based on Sievi Capital’s average return on equity (ROE). LTI 2021–2023The Board of Directors has approved the second plan (LTI 2021–2023) under the share scheme. Its vesting period started on 1 January 2021 and the award of shares, if any, will take place in spring 2024, provided that the performance targets that the Board of Directors has set for the plan are achieved. The performance targets applied to the first LTI 2020–2022 plan are based on Sievi Capital’s average return on equity (ROE). The Board of Directors decided in 2021 that the third plan of the performance-based share scheme, originally planned to start in 2022, will not be launched.
