Outokumpu Oyj: Outokumpu's next plan period for share-based programs

Outokumpu's next plan period for share-based programs

The Board of Directors has now approved the commencement of Outokumpu's share-based programs, Performance Share Plan and Restricted Share Pool, for the period 2025-2027. The plans commence at the beginning of 2025.

The earning criteria of the Performance Share Plan (PSP) for this period are Outokumpu's return on capital employed (80% weight) and CO2 emissions per ton of crude steel produced (20% weight). Both criteria must be met for the plan to pay out. The maximum number of participants in the plan period 2025-2027 is 200 key employees. The maximum number of gross shares (taxes included) that can be allocated is 3,700,000.

The Restricted Share Pool (RSP) is used for a limited number of employees, i.e., key recruitments, exceptional performance, high potential, retention need, and other individual specific situations. The maximum number of gross shares (taxes included) that can be allocated is 250,000 shares for the plan period 2025-2027.

The share rewards will be distributed in the spring of 2026 (RSP's first tranche), 2027 (RSP's second tranche) and 2028 (RSP's third tranche and PSP), if the employment conditions and performance criterion are met. Applicable taxes will be deducted from gross shares, and the remaining net value will be delivered to the participants in Outokumpu shares.
