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).
