THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AUROORA GROUP PLC RESOLVED ON SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP MANAGEMENT TEAM AND KEY EMPLOYEES
The Board of Directors of Auroora Group Plc has resolved to establish a new performance-based share incentive plan for the members of the Group Management Team and key employees. The purpose of the plan is to align the interests of the members of the Group Management Team and key employees with those of the Company’s shareholders, with the aim of increasing shareholder value over the long term and supporting the implementation of the Company’s strategy. The plan also aims to retain key employees and offer them a competitive incentive plan based on earning and accumulating Auroora Group’s shares.
The Performance Share Plan 2026–2028 comprises one performance period, commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2027. The performance period will be followed by a 12-month retention period.
Under the plan, the target group has the opportunity to earn Auroora Group’s shares based on performance. The performance criteria are linked to capital allocation (ROCE percentage and capital allocated) and profitability (EBITA in euros and EBITA margin). Any rewards under the plan will be paid after the retention period ends, no later than May 31, 2029.
The rewards under the plan have a maximum total value corresponding to 114,000 Auroora Group shares, including the portion to be paid in cash. However, the Company has the right to pay the reward entirely in cash. The target group consists of 10 key employees, including the members of the Group Management Team and the CEO.
The potential reward will be paid partly in Auroora Group’s shares and partly in cash. The cash portion is intended to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the reward. As a general rule, no reward will be paid if the key employee’s employment or director contract terminates before the payment of the reward.
Participants must retain 50 percent of the shares received until the value of their shareholding in Auroora Group equals 50 percent of their gross annual salary for the calendar year preceding the payment of the reward. The CEO must retain 50 percent of the shares received until the value of the CEO’s total shareholding in Auroora Group equals 100 percent of the CEO’s gross annual salary for the preceding calendar year. The required number of Auroora Group shares must be retained for as long as the participant’s employment relationship remains in force.
