Aldata Solution Oyj STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 16 August 2010 at 9 a.m. (EET) NEW LONG-TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME FOR ALDATA'S PRESIDENT AND CEO Aldata Solution Oyj's Board of Directors has decided to adopt a new equity based long term incentive scheme for Aldata's President and CEO Mr. Bertrand Sciard. The scheme supplements, and partly replaces, existing schemes and includes 1,200,000 restricted share units ("RSU") issued by Aldata to Mr Sciard. The potential payment shall be made in 2013 subject to Mr Sciard being employed by Aldata, its group companies or its main shareholder. Each RSU entitles Mr. Sciard to receive upon execution, at Aldata's sole discretion, either a share in Aldata, or a cash award based on the price of Aldata's share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. Aldata may choose to disburse the reward also as a combination of shares and cash settlement. The scheme includes customary provisions regarding due payment of incentives upon change of control. The maximum amount of shares being offered to Mr. Sciard on the basis of the RSUs is 1,200,000 shares. Mr Sciard has returned part of his existing share options as part of the agreement to enter into this new long term incentive scheme. Aldata has followed the guidelines of IFRS 2 when calculating the theoretical market value of the scheme. As there is no absolute requirement or history of reimbursing similar schemes in cash, and Aldata is not restricted or prohibited from issuing additional shares in the future, Aldata will account for this transaction as an equity settlement. The equity settlement approach requires Aldata to value the shares at the date of granting, and this valuation cannot be adjusted in future periods. The theoretical market value of the scheme is EUR 660.000,00, calculated as 1.200.000 shares valued at 0.55 € per share, being the closing price on Friday, August 13, 2010. The additional costs that this agreement will add to the second half year costs do not impact the Group's current future outlook guidelines.
