12.   Resolution on Board’s proposed guidelines on compensation to senior executives  

On April 27, 2017, the AGM voted to adopt the Board’s proposed guidelines on compensation to senior executives. The Board proposes that the 2018 AGM adopt the Board’s proposals for essentially unaltered guidelines on pay and other remuneration to senior executives. The main points of the proposals are that: 

• The guidelines shall be based on the Swedish government’s “Guidelines for Employment Terms for Executives in State-Owned Companies” adopted on December 22, 2016.
• The total compensation for executives shall be carefully considered, competitive, subject to a salary ceiling, reasonable and appropriate, and shall promote good ethics and a good corporate culture. It shall also serve as a guide to total compensation for other employees, which is to be the subject of annual reporting to the Board by the President and Chief Executive Officer.
• Individual premium-based pension agreements, in which the premiums shall amount to no more than 30 percent of the fixed monthly salary, shall be signed on behalf of the President and Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives in the PostNord Group who are employed in Sweden. The necessary insurance policies are contracted within the scope of this premium.
• The pensionable age for employees in Sweden is 65 years. Senior executives in Norway who are employed under Norwegian labour law are subject to the pension arrangements collectively agreed within the Norwegian company. The pensionable age is 65 years. In the case of senior executives employed in Denmark, pensions are included in an amount corresponding to 10% of the agreed monthly salary. The pensionable age is in accordance with Danish legislation.
• Severance compensation shall be paid until no later than the agreed pensionable age and never longer than to the age of 65 years.
