The board’s proposal on remuneration guidelines for the Coor group executive management (item 15)
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to adopt the following guidelines for the remuneration of senior executives for the period until the 2018 annual general meeting.
The remuneration of group executive management is to comprise fixed salary, possible variable salary, pension and other benefits. The total remuneration package should be based on market terms, be competitive and reflect the individual’s performance and responsibilities, and as regards a possible long-term variable remuneration, the value growth of the Coor share benefitting the shareholders.
The variable salary may comprise yearly incentives in cash and long-term incentives in cash, shares and/or share-based instruments in Coor. Variable salary in cash is conditional upon the fulfillment of defined and measurable goals and should be maximized to 50 per cent of the annual fixed salary. Terms and conditions for variable salary should be designed so that the board, if exceptional economic circumstances prevail, has the option of limiting or refraining from payment of variable salary if such a measure is considered reasonable.
In specific cases, agreements may be reached regarding one-off remuneration amounts provided that such remuneration does not exceed an amount corresponding to three months of the individual’s fixed salary, and is not paid more than once per year and individual.
Pension benefits should be defined contribution.
Normally, severance payment is made when employment is terminated by the company. Members of group executive management may have a period of notice of not more than six (6) months, in combination with severance pay corresponding to at maximum eighteen (18) months fixed salary. No severance payment will be made when employment is terminated by the employee.
The board is entitled to depart from the guidelines resolved on by the annual general meeting if, in an individual case, there are special reasons for this.
The group of senior executives encompassed by the guidelines comprises the President and CEO and other members of group executive management.
