Uponor extends its share-based incentive scheme to the company's international
management 

Uponor's Board of Directors has approved a 3-year incentive scheme for a group
of managers with international business responsibility. To be eligible to
participate in the scheme, a manager must acquire a specific number of Uponor
shares, as defined under the scheme, by the end of August 2009. Depending on
the achievement of the company's financial targets during the years 2009-2011,
and the number of shares acquired within the scheme, each manager is eligible
to be awarded Uponor shares in the spring of 2012. 

The new scheme extends the scope of persons with a share-based incentive scheme
from the existing programme involving the company's Executive Committee, which
will also fall due in 2012.
