Policy on Remuneration to Senior Executive
The AGM on 12 May 2021 established the following guidelines concerning remuneration to senior executives.
These guidelines concern remuneration and other employment terms for Ferronordic’s management. The guidelines apply to employment contracts made after the approval of these guidelines by the meeting and to amendments to existing agreements made thereafter.
Basic principles
Remuneration to executives is based on current market terms on the markets where Ferronordic operates. Remuneration shall also be competitive in order to attract and retain competent executives.
Fixed salaries
Fixed salaries are established individually based on the criteria specified above, as well as the individual executive’s areas of responsibility and performance. For expatriates with salaries in roubles or other local currencies, the fixed salaries can be adjusted to reflect changes in fore exchange rates.
Variable salaries
Executives may receive variable salaries in addition to fixed salaries. Variable salaries are paid upon fulfilment of pre-determined and measurable performance criteria, primarily based on the development of the Group as a whole, and/or the part of the group’s business that the executive is responsible for. Variable salary for the CEO as well as executives shall not exceed 100% of the fixed salary.
Other benefits
Executives are entitled to customary non-monetary benefits such as company cars and company health insurance. In addition, company housing and other benefits can be offered on an individual basis, such housing allowances and school/kindergarten allowances for expatriates.
Pension benefits
In addition to those pension benefits that executives are entitled to according to law, executives may be offered pension benefits that are competitive in the country where the individual in question is or has been a resident or to which the individual has a relevant connection. Pension plans shall be defined contribution plans without guaranteed pension levels.
Severance pay
Severance pay shall not exceed 12 months.
