Where needed the Company will also bear reasonable costs for external consultants, which are deemed necessary by the nominating committee to fulfil its task.

Item 18 - Establishment of guidelines for the remuneration to management
The board of directors proposes principles for remuneration and other employment terms consistent with the guidelines adopted at the AGM in 2023.

The proposal mainly involves that the Company will offer its executives market-based remuneration, which will enable the Group to recruit and retain qualified employees.

The variable remuneration will be paid based on performance goals achieved by the Company as a whole and performance targets for the individual employee. The variable salary will be maximized to 40 per cent of the fixed salary. Pension benefits should be premium-based and may reach 20 per cent of the base salary. The board of directors may diverge from the above principles if special reasons apply in an individual case.
