The Board of Directors shall decide separately on the minimum, target and maximum bonus of each participant, as well as performance criteria and the related targets.

Short-term incentive scheme

The purpose of the short-term incentive scheme is to support the achievement of Revenio's annual financial and strategic objectives. The payment of the short-term incentive is based on the meeting of performance criteria during the performance period. The performance criteria are decided by the Board of Directors. The highest possible annual short-term incentive for Revenio’s CEO corresponds to the fixed salary component for nine months. The criteria in the short-term incentive scheme are EBITDA and cash flow at the Group level and individual targets. It is possible for the CEO to invest an amount equal to two months’ salary from the short-term performance bonus in the personnel fund. The employee fund established by the Company is open to all employees of the Company in Finland. Employees may transfer to the personnel fund from their annual bonus an amount not exceeding two months' salary. Each employee decides for themselves whether they participate in the fund. Alternatively, bonuses can also be taken as salary. The Company pays an additional 25% on top of the amount transferred to the fund, with this additional amount corresponding to the statutory costs that the Company would have to pay if the bonus were paid as salary. The fund invests in the shares of Revenio Group Corporation.

Performance-based share plan

The Board of Directors of Revenio Group Corporation has decided on the three-year earning periods of the share-based long-term incentive schemes directed towards key personnel. The long-term incentive schemes form part of the company’s remuneration program for key personnel and are aimed at supporting the implementation of the company’s strategy and aligning the goals of key personnel and the company in order to increase the company's value.

The performance-based share plan consists of three-year performance periods. The Board of Directors decides separately on the minimum, target and maximum bonus as well as the performance criteria and related targets. The amount of the bonus to be paid depends on the development of the share price in accordance with the pre-defined targets. Bonus is not paid if the targets are not met or if the participant's employment relationship ends before the bonus is paid.

The targets of the plan must be related to the total absolute shareholder return of the Company's share and cumulative operating result for three years. If the targets of the incentive scheme are achieved, bonuses will be paid in the spring of the year following the performance period. The total amount of the share incentive paid on the basis of the plan's performance periods may be no more than approximately 100,000 shares of Revenio Group Corporation. The rewards according to the share plan are calculated in shares. This number of shares represents gross earnings, from which the portion required to cover the taxes arising from the share plan and other possible applicable tax-related payments is deducted, which is paid in cash. In practice, about 40% of the total number of shares is paid in shares and about 60% in cash to cover taxes and other possible tax-related payments. However, the Company has the right to pay the fee fully in cash in certain circumstances. The Company’s Board of Directors may decide on new share-based incentive schemes within the limits of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting.

In 2023 a total of 8,124 of the company’s treasury shares was issued in a directed issue without payment to persons included in the share plan 2020-2022.

Restricted share plan

The restricted share plan was established for the CEO as part of the long-term incentive and commitment program. The purpose of the plan is to supplement the CEO's remuneration, to combine the interests of shareholders and the CEO, to increase the Company's value and profits in the long term and to strengthen the CEO’s commitment to the Company.

The restricted share plan consists of one three-year vesting period 2021–2023. During the vesting period, the CEO may receive shares provided that the CEO’s employment relationship continues until the shares are delivered. The shares are delivered in three installments. The first third of the incentive is paid after the first year of the vesting period, the second third after the second year of the vesting period and the final third is paid when the entire vesting period has ended. The number of shares is equal to gross earnings minus any cash component deducted from it in order to cover taxes and any other tax-like charges arising from the share incentive, with the remaining net incentive paid in shares. It is recommended that the value of the shares held by the CEO corresponds to 50% of the CEO’s annual gross basic salary.

In order to pay the share bonus of 1,000 shares earned in 2022 in accordance with the terms of the program, 400 of the company’s treasury shares were issued to the CEO on February 13, 2023 through a directed share issue without payment, and the rest of the share bonus was used for the tax consequences of the issued shares.
