The Shareholders’ Nomination Board states that the long-term programme to increase the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company decided by the Shareholders’ Nomination Board in 2021 and published by a stock exchange release on 29 January 2021 will be continued as planned in such a way that the Board remuneration will achieve the market level in 2026.

Therefore, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting 2024 that the remuneration payable to the Chair, Deputy Chair and the other members of the Board of Directors be changed in line with the earlier decision in principle to increase the remuneration, as follows:

The annual fee of the Chair, Deputy Chair and other members of the Board of Directors:

  • Chair: EUR 128,200/year (currently EUR 88,800);
  • Deputy Chair: EUR 79,400/year (EUR 63,300); and
  • Members: EUR 56,800/year (EUR 43,100).

In addition, it is proposed to pay fixed fees for the Committee work as follows:

  • Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, Chair of the Technology and Investment Committee, Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee: EUR 22,600/year (EUR 20,200, EUR 5,000 and EUR 5,000), in case that he/she does not simultaneously act as Chair or Deputy Chair of the Board.
  • Member of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Technology and Investment Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee: EUR 5,400/year (EUR 3,000, EUR 2,000 and EUR 2,000).

If the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, Technology and Investment Committee or the Nomination and Remuneration Committee simultaneously acts as Chair or Deputy Chair of the Board of Directors, he/she will be paid the fixed fee of a Committee member.

The Chair and the members of any additional Committee established by a Board decision will only be paid the meeting fees.

In addition, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the meeting fee payable to a Board member, also for the Committee meetings, be EUR 1,000 (EUR 800) for each meeting, or EUR 2,000 (EUR 1,600) in case the member travels to the meeting outside his/her country of residence. When a member participates in the meeting via remote connection, or for the decisions that are confirmed without convening a meeting, the meeting fee be EUR 1,000 (EUR 800). The travel expenses of Board members are compensated in accordance with the Company’s travel policy.

Further, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the annual fee for the Board work of the Board members be paid in Company shares and in cash in such a way that approximately 40% of the amount of the annual fee be payable in shares acquired on behalf and in the name of the Board members, and the remainder in cash. The Company will pay the costs and the transfer tax related to the purchase of the company shares.

The shares will be acquired on behalf and in the name of the Board members within two weeks following the publication of the Company’s first quarter 2024 interim report. If share purchases cannot be carried out within the aforementioned schedule due to a reason related to the Company or a Board member, the shares will be acquired later, or the annual fee will be paid fully in cash. The meeting fees and the fixed fees for the Committee work are proposed to be paid fully in cash.

13. Resolution on the number of the members of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the Board of Directors consist of nine (9) members, the Chair and the Deputy Chair included.

14. Election of the Chair, Deputy Chair and members of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the following persons be elected to the Company’s Board of Directors for a term ending at the end of the Annual General Meeting 2025:

Ralf Christian, Luisa Delgado, Jonas Gustavsson, Essimari Kairisto, Marita Niemelä, Teppo Paavola, Mikael Silvennoinen, Johan Söderström and Vesa-Pekka Takala are proposed to be re-elected as members.

Mikael Silvennoinen is proposed to be elected as Chair and Essimari Kairisto as Deputy Chair of the Board of Directors.

All candidates have consented to the appointment and are all independent of the Company and its major shareholders in accordance with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies. Maija Strandberg has informed the Shareholders’ Nomination Board that she is not available for election to the Board of Directors for the new term.

The current Board members proposed to be re-elected have been presented on the Company’s  website at www.fortum.com/governance.

On the subject of the election procedure of the Board members, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board suggests that the shareholders take a stand on the Board composition and nominations as a whole. The suggestion is based on the fact that the Company has a Shareholders’ Nomination Board established by the resolution of the general meeting compliant with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code and good corporate governance practices. The task of the Nomination Board is to ensure that the proposed Board as a whole possesses extensive competences and experience relevant for the Company, in addition to ensuring the qualifications of the individual board member candidates. The Nomination Board is also responsible for ensuring that the board diversity principles are appropriately taken into account and that the proposed Board composition also meets the other requirements set forth by the legislation and the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies.

15. Resolution on the remuneration of the auditor

On the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the fee of the auditor be paid pursuant to the invoice approved by the Company.

16. Election of the auditor

On the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that Deloitte Oy be re-elected as the Company’s auditor, and that the General Meeting request the auditor to give a statement on the granting of discharge from liability to the members of the Board of Directors, the President and CEO and the possible Deputy President and CEO, and on the Board of Directors’ proposal for the distribution of funds.

Deloitte Oy has notified the Company that in the event it is elected as auditor, Jukka Vattulainen, APA, would be the principal auditor.

The recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors on the election of the auditor is available on the Company’s website at www.fortum.com/agm.

17. Resolution on the remuneration of the sustainability reporting assurer

On the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the fee of the sustainability reporting assurer be paid pursuant to the invoice approved by the Company.

18. Election of the sustainability reporting assurer

In accordance with the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, CSRD, and the relevant national legislation, Fortum has an obligation to publish its first sustainability report for the financial year 2024.

On the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that Sustainability Audit Firm Deloitte Oy be elected as the sustainability reporting assurer in accordance with Chapter 7 Section 6 a of the Finnish Companies Act, for a term ending at the end of the Annual General Meeting 2025.    

Deloitte Oy has notified the Company that in the event it is elected as sustainability reporting assurer, Jukka Vattulainen, APA, authorised sustainability auditor (ASA), would be the principal authorised sustainability auditor.

The recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors on the election of the sustainability reporting assurer is available on the Company’s website at www.fortum.com/agm.

19. Amendment of Article 11 of the Company’s Articles of Association

On the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the second paragraph of Article 11 of the Company’s Articles of Association currently in force concerning the term of the auditor be amended.

The auditor of the Company, Deloitte Oy, has acted as the Company’s auditor since 2006. The EU Audit Regulation sets requirements on the length of the overall term of office of the auditor. Therefore, Deloitte Oy can only act as Company’s auditor until the end of 2025.

In anticipation of the upcoming auditor tender and in order to ensure a more flexible change of auditor in 2026, the Board of Directors proposes that Article 11 of the Company’s Articles of Association be amended in such a way that the Annual General Meeting could elect the auditor in advance for a term that is one financial year.

The second paragraph of Article 11 would thus read as follows: ”The term of office of the auditor shall be one financial year.”

Article 11 would remain otherwise unchanged.

The current and the proposed new wording of Article 11 of the Articles of Association are available on the Company’s website at www.fortum.com/agm.

20. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be authorised to decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares as follows:

The aggregate maximum number of own shares to be repurchased would be 20,000,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 2.23 per cent of all the shares in the Company. Only the unrestricted equity of the Company could be used to repurchase own shares on the basis of the authorisation.

Own shares could be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date of the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market.

The Board of Directors would decide how the own shares would be repurchased. Own shares could also be repurchased by using derivatives. Own shares could be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase).

The authorisation would cancel the authorisation granted by the Company’s Annual General Meeting 2023 to decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares, and it would be effective until the next Annual General Meeting and in any event no longer than for a period of 18 months.

21. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the disposal of the Company’s own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be authorised to decide on the disposal of the Company’s own shares as follows:

The number of shares to be disposed based on the authorisation shall not exceed 20,000,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 2.23 per cent of all the shares in the Company.

The Board of Directors would decide on the conditions of the disposals, including to whom, at what price and in which manner the Company’s own shares would be disposed. The disposals could also be made in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (directed share issue).

The authorisation would cancel the authorisation granted by the Company’s Annual General Meeting 2023 to decide on the disposal of the Company’s own shares, and it would be effective until the next Annual General Meeting and in any event no longer than for a period of 18 months.

The authorisations would be effective until the next Annual General Meeting.

23. Amendment of the Charter of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the Charter of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board be amended in such a way that the shareholders entitled to appoint a member are determined on the basis of the shareholders’ register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the first working day in June (previously on the first working day in September) each year.

Further, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the Charter be amended in such a way that the Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors shall act as a non-voting expert of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board (previously as member of the Shareholders’ Nomination Board).
