Kamux's share-based incentive scheme 2020

On 16 January 2020, the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation decided to
approve the detailed terms and conditions of the share-based incentive scheme
for the Group's key personnel for 2020. The purpose of the share-based
remuneration scheme is to combine the objectives of shareholders and key
personnel in order to increase Kamux's value in the long term, to increase the
commitment of the key personnel to Kamux and to offer them a competitive
remuneration scheme based on the earning and accumulation of shares.

The earnings period for the share-based remuneration scheme is the 2020 calendar
year. The amount of any gross reward paid pursuant to the scheme for the
earnings period will be determined by the achievement of goals set for the
earnings criteria. According to the decision by the Board of Directors, the
earnings criterion applicable for the 2020 earnings period is achieving the EBIT
target for 2020 set by the Board of Directors. Any rewards resulting from the
scheme will be paid after the end of the earnings period, by the end of May
2021, in the company's shares unless the Board of Directors decides to pay the
reward partly or fully in cash. The reward to be paid will consist of the net
number of shares that remain after deducting the monetary sum required to cover
the taxes for the confirmed reward. If a key person's employment or service
relationship ends before the payment of the reward, no reward will normally be
paid.

The Board of Directors has selected approximately 30 key persons as eligible to
participate in the incentive scheme. According to the terms and conditions of
the share-based remuneration scheme, the Board of Directors may decide to accept
new participants in the scheme during the earnings period.

If the maximum target level set for the earnings criterion is achieved, the
total amount of rewards paid under the 2020 share-based remuneration scheme
would be up to approximately EUR 1,3 million (gross), which is estimated to
correspond to up to approximately 181,400 Kamux shares, calculated on the basis
of the average price of the Kamux share in December 2019.

The net shares paid as a reward will be subject to a transfer restriction during
the commitment period. The commitment period begins when the reward is paid and
ends on 31 December 2022. A member of the Group's Management Team must own half
of the net shares received as a reward based on the scheme until his/her
shareholding in the company corresponds to the value of his/her annual salary
(ownership obligation). Each participant must own this number of shares for as
long as he/she remains a member of the Group's Management Team.

The incentive scheme now approved for 2020 is the third scheme approved on the
basis of the decision made by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2017 to
establish an incentive scheme. The issuance of shares in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the share-based remuneration scheme is based on the
authorisation given to the Board of Directors of Kamux on 26 April 2018 by the
Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors of Kamux is authorised to decide
on issuing a maximum of 400,000 new and/or existing shares to reward Kamux's key
personnel in accordance with the share-based remuneration scheme. The intention
is to extend similar type share-based remuneration scheme with corresponding new
earnings periods beginning annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
