GUIDELINES ON REMUNERATION TO SENIOR OFFICERS (POINT 15)
The Board proposes guidelines mainly entailing that the company offer total compensation on par with market levels so that the company can recruit and keep qualified senior officers. Remuneration to senior officers will consist of a basic wage, variable remuneration, other benefits and a pension. The basic wage will take into consideration the individual’s responsibility and experience. The division between basic wage and variable remuneration will be in proportion to the officer’s responsibility and authority. The variable remuneration will be based on results in relationship to individual targets. Variable remuneration for the CEO and Chief Financial Officer may amount to, at most, 50 percent of his/her basic wage. For other senior officers variable remuneration may amount to, at most, 40 percent of his/her basic wage. Pension benefits may be defined benefits and defined contribution benefits or a combination thereof. These guidelines are essentially the same as the principles followed thus far but the level of variable remuneration has been raised somewhat.
