Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives
The Annual General Meeting resolved on adoption of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives principally entailing that the remuneration and other terms of employment shall be competitive and in accordance with market conditions in order to ensure that the Securitas Systems Group will be able to attract and keep competent senior executives.
In addition to a fixed annual salary the group management may also receive a variable
remuneration, which shall have a predetermined cap and shall be based on the outcome in relation to earnings targets within the individual area of responsibility (and in certain cases other key ratios). The variable remuneration shall vary between zero and the following maximum amounts; 75 per cent of the fixed annual salary for the CEO and a maximum of 60-75 per cent of the fixed annual salary for other individuals of the group management. The undertakings of the company as regards variable remuneration, may at maximal outcome as regards the present members of the senior management during 2008, amount to a maximum of MSEK 6. Apart from the above mentioned variable remuneration resolved upon, share-related or share-price related incentive programs can be resolved upon from time to time. Pension entitlements for senior executives shall apply from 65 years at the earliest. The pension plans shall mainly be defined contribution plans. Other benefits, e.g. extra health insurance or corporate health care, shall be paid to the extent that they are assessed as being commercially competitive for senior executives in equivalent positions on the market where the executive operates. In case of notice of termination by the company, the notice period for all senior executives shall amount to a maximum of 12 months and 24 months for the CEO. Severance payment, not exceeding 12 months basic salary, may be paid after the end of the notice period. In case of resignation by a senior executive, the notice period shall amount to a maximum of 6 months and no severance payment shall be awarded. The full guidelines can be found in the Report of the Board of Directors, which is part of the Annual Report and can be found on the company website.
