CONTACT Investors Corporate Governance Remuneration INVESTORS Remuneration The important principles of Componenta guiding remuneration are remuneration based on performance and overall remuneration of personnel. Componenta seeks to motivate, attract and retain skilled persons with remuneration. The objective of remuneration is to contribute to the favourable development of shareholder value, to develop the company’s performance and to help the company in fulfilling its business strategy and in attaining the long-term financial benefits. Remuneration is one of the most important ways to ensure that the company’s employees understand the result targets, their own possibilities to influence the results and the causal connection between the result of operations and remuneration. Componenta aims to keep the remuneration principles and practices comprehensible and transparent.

Prior to this, Marko Penttinen was the President and CEO of the com­pany in 2020. Remuneration of the President and CEO was consistent with the remuneration policy during 2020. Short-term incentive schemes The current President and CEO is entitled to an incen­tive fee related to achieving the financial objectives. In 2020, the incentive fee paid in cash from the short-term incentive scheme was based on the company’s cash flow, and the maximum remuneration sum was equal to the President and CEO’s total salary for six months. No remuneration was paid to the President and CEO as part of the short-term incentive scheme in 2020, as the company’s cash flow from continuing operations after investments did not reach the mini­mum target. Long-term incentive schemes The current President and CEO is entitled to the share-based incentive schemes for the group’s key employees, introduced by a Board decision on 12 November 2018, including an option scheme and a restricted share plan.

Short-term incentive scheme The purpose of a short-term incentive scheme is to support the attainment of the set targets and to promote commitment by setting unambiguous and measurable annual targets that have a direct impact on the company’s result. Componenta’s Board of Directors annually sets the terms and objectives of any short-term incentive schemes for the whole group. In accordance with the remuneration policy the maximum remuneration payable to the Presi­dent and CEO from any short-term incentive scheme must not exceed half of his/her fixed annual salary. At its discretion, the Board of Directors may change the criteria for short-term incentives. The remuneration based on short-term incentive schemes is paid in cash. Long-term incentive schemes The purpose of any long-term incentive schemes is to provide an incentive to key employees and to bring their benefits in line with the shareholders’ benefits and the long-term strategy aimed at the stability of business operations. Long-term incentives may con­sist of both performance-based and share-based incentive plans. Based on the remuneration policy, the Board of Direc­tors decides on any long-term incentive schemes, such as share-based remuneration schemes, and determines the earning criteria for perfor­mance-based schemes at the beginning of each scheme. The current value of the potential bonus paid under a long-term incentive scheme can be no more than 30% of the President and CEO’s fixed yearly sal­ary. The current value is always calculated by using a method relevant for the incentive scheme at the beginning of the earning period. The Board of Directors decides on the fees paid under the scheme, and it may also change the criteria for any long-term incentives.
