THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COMPTEL CORPORATION RESOLVED ON AN INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY PERSONNEL


The Board of Directors of Comptel Corporation has approved a new share-based
incentive plan for the Comptel Group key personnel. The aim of the Plan is to
combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in order to
increase the value of the Company, to commit the key personnel to the Company,
and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on holding the Company
shares.  The last earning period of Comptel Corporation Share Ownership Plan
2006—2008 ended on 31 December 2008. 

The new Plan includes three earning periods, calendar years 2009, 2010 and
2011. The Board of Directors will decide on the earnings criteria for each
earning period at the beginning of each earning period. A two-year restriction
period will follow each earning period, during which shares cannot be
transferred. Should a key person's employment or service end during the
restriction period, he/she must gratuitously return the shares paid as reward
to the Company. 

The potential reward from the Plan for the earning period 2009 will be based on
the continuance of employment or service of a key person and on the Comptel
Group´s Operating Profit Margin. The potential reward from the earning period
2009 will be paid partly as the Company's shares and partly in cash in 2010.
The proportion to be paid in cash will cover taxes and tax-related costs
arising from the reward. 

The Plan is directed to approximately 15 people. The President and CEO of the
Company belongs to the incentive plan provided that he holds at least 150,000
Comptel Corporation shares until 31 December 2012. The restriction periods of
the rewards to be potentially paid to the President and CEO, on the basis of
continuance of his service, will end in 2012 and 2013. A maximum amount in
denomination of euro has been determined for the rewards of the President and
CEO. 

The rewards to be paid on the basis of the Plan will correspond to the value of
a maximum total of five million Comptel Corporation shares (including also the
proportion to be paid in cash).
