Tieto Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 16 May 2014, 9.00 am EET
The Board of Directors of Tieto Corporation has decided to utilize company shares in a new reward plan for selected key employees. The plan will run until the end of 2016. The maximum number of Tieto shares to be delivered to the participants is 62 500 shares.
The Board of Directors anticipates that shares to be delivered to the participants under the plan would consist of shares in the possession of the company or shares to be acquired from the market. Thus, no new shares will be issued in connection with the plan and, therefore, the incentive plan will have no dilutive effect.
Proposals for authorizing the Board of Directors to acquire own shares from the market and to issue shares based on the plan will be made to the Shareholders’ Annual General Meeting of 2016.
