Payment of Rautaruukki Oyj treasury shares based on the share-based incentive plan 2011-2013

Rautaruukki Corporation Stock exchange release 24 April 2014 at 9.15 EEST

Payment of Rautaruukki Oyj treasury shares based on the share-based incentive
plan 2011-2013

On 23 April 2014, Rautaruukki's Board of Directors confirmed the bonus payable
for the three-year earning period under the share-based incentive plan
2011-2013 for management and key employees as 16.9% of the maximum bonus
payable. Of the total bonus, 50 per cent will be paid in the form of shares and
the remainder in cash for the payment of taxes and fiscal charges. The Board of
Directors has resolved to transfer, without consideration, 40,900 of the
treasury shares held by the company to the bonus recipients as the share element
of the bonus.

During the three-year earning period, there were 92 company executives or other
key employees who will receive the bonus. The shares will be transferred on 28
April 2014.

In December 2010, Rautaruukki's Board of Directors decided on a share-based
incentive plan as part of a commitment and incentive programme for key
personnel. The plan included three earning periods, which were the calendar
years 2011, 2012 and 2013. Furthermore, the plan included one three-year earning
period, 2011-2013. Payment of a bonus was contingent on achieving the financial
targets set. Under the terms and conditions of the share-based incentive plan,
key persons have the right to participate in a takeover bid made and the lock-up
clause will no longer apply to a key person accepting the bid.

Rautaruukki has had share ownership plans for management and key employees as
long-term performance incentive plans since 2000.
