COMPANY
ANNOUNCEMENT
No. 28/2016
Copenhagen, 27 June 2016
Implementation of Incentive
Programmes and Reporting of Transactions in Accordance with Section
28a of the Danish Securities Trading Act
Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S has today implemented i) a long-term
incentive programme (the LTIP) for certain members of the Executive
Management and certain members of senior management, and ii) a
transition share programme (the TSP) for certain members of the
Executive Management and certain members of senior
management.
The two programmes comprise a total of 166,239 performance share
units (PSUs) of which 128,084 PSUs have been granted to members of
the Executive Management, and a total of 38,155 PSUs have been
granted to certain members of senior management. The number of PSUs
granted to each participant in the programme has been based on the
average share price of the 10 trading days following the listing of
the company on 10 February 2016 on Nasdaq Copenhagen. Further, the
participants have received PSUs corresponding to the dividend paid
by the company in April 2016.
Upon vesting, each PSU entitles the holder to receive one share in
Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S at no cost. The actual number of
shares vesting may range between 0 and 200% of the grant and is
determined by the achievement of certain performance indicators in
the financial years 2016, 2017 and 2018 for the LTIP and the
financial years 2016 and 2017 for the TSP. The maximum total number
of vested shares under the programmes is 332,478 shares based on an
achieved full performance (200%).
Prior to vesting, holders of PSUs are not entitled
to any of the rights which shareholders hold, except from the right
to dividends which will be converted into additional
PSUs.
Reference is also made to the offering circular published by
Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S on 28 January 2016 and the company's
Remuneration Policy as published on the company's website
www.st-group.com.
