These guidelines concern remuneration and other employment terms for Ferronordic's management. The guidelines apply to employment contracts made after the approval of these guidelines by the meeting and to amendments to existing agreements made thereafter.
Basic principles
Remuneration to executives is based on current market terms on the markets where Ferronordic operates. Remuneration shall also be competitive in order to attract and retain competent executives.
Fixed salaries
Fixed salaries are established individually based on the criteria specified above, as well as the individual executive's areas of responsibility and performance. For expatriates with salaries in local currency, the fixed salaries can be adjusted to reflect changes in foreign exchange rates.
Variable salaries
Executives may receive variable salaries in addition to fixed salaries. Variable salaries are paid upon fulfilment of pre-determined and measurable performance criteria, primarily based on the development of the Group as a whole, and/or the part of the group's business that the executive is responsible for. Variable salary for the CEO as well as executives shall not exceed 100% of the fixed salary.
LTI-program
A share or warrant-based long-term incentive program for the Company's and its subsidiaries' senior management may be introduced as per separate decision.
Other benefits
Executives are entitled to customary non-monetary benefits such as company cars and company health insurance. In addition, company housing and other benefits can be offered on an individual basis, such as housing allowances and school/kindergarten allowances for expatriates.
Pension benefits
In addition to those pension benefits that executives are entitled to according to law, executives may be offered pension benefits that are competitive in the country where the individual in question is or has been a resident or to which the individual has a relevant connection. Pension plans shall be defined contribution plans without guaranteed pension levels.
Severance pay
Severance pay shall not exceed 12 months.
The Board's preparation and decision-making on issues concerning remuneration and other terms of employment
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for:
1) preparing the Board's decisions on issues concerning principles of remuneration, remuneration and other terms of employment for executives,
2) monitoring and evaluating ongoing and during the year ended programs for variable remuneration,
3) monitoring and evaluating the application of these guidelines, and
4) monitoring and evaluating current remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the Group.
The Remuneration Committee prepares and the Board resolves on:
1) remuneration and employment terms of the CEO, and
2) principles for remuneration for the other executives (including pension and severance pay).
The Remuneration Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board share-based incentive programs to be decided by the AGM.
Authority to decide on deviations from these guidelines
The Board may deviate from these guidelines if there are specific reasons in individual cases.
Earlier decisions on remuneration not due at the time of the AGM's consideration of these guidelines
Remuneration approved but not due at the time of the AGM 2023 fall within the frames of these guidelines.
