The Remuneration Policy (hereinafter referred to as the "Remuneration Policy") of Invalda INVL (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") has been prepared taking into account the Company's business strategy, long-term goals and interests and the fact that the Employees of the Company and the Group's companies make a significant contribution to the achievement of these goals and the success of the Company.
The Invalda INVL Group's priority is the successful management of the assets entrusted by people. The overall objective of the Remuneration Policy is to describe how Employees are remunerated for their work and for the results they achieve. In addition, the objective is to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees and managers, and to align their interests with those of the Company, thereby creating long-term value for Invalda INVL Group's customers, employees, partners, shareholders and other stakeholders. The remuneration policy maintains a simple and transparent remuneration structure and enhances Employee loyalty and accountability and reduces the risk of potential conflicts of interest.
The Company's policy is to apply (i) fixed remuneration and/or (ii) a combination of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration, as further described below. The combination of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration should ensure an appropriate balance of interests while motivating long-term growth without discouraging short-term or risky behaviour. Competitive and reasonable remuneration must help attract and retain the professional, talented employees who are committed to Invalda INVL's values and who are necessary for the continuity and development of the Company's and the Group's business. In order to maintain such competitive and reasonable remuneration, the Board of the Company (or the Nomination and Remuneration Committee authorised by the Board) shall take cognisance of and review the remuneration schemes of the Company and, as appropriate, of the individual companies within the Group, and the changes in the annual salaries and bonuses.
The Board of the Company may form a Nomination and Remuneration Committee as needed, the composition, functions, rights, responsibilities of which shall be set out in the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Regulations approved by the Board of the Company. Subject to the provisions of laws, the Board of the Company may authorise the Committee to perform some of the functions of the Board set out in this Policy.
The Company's remuneration and incentive system, including any part of it, is gender neutral, i.e. based on equal remuneration of Employees of either gender for equal work or work of equal value.
This Remuneration Policy applies to the employees of Invalda INVL and the Group companies. This policy is binding on the Company and is recommended to the Group companies. The aim is that the Remuneration Policies of the Group companies should, as far as possible, comply with the principles set out in this Remuneration Policy.

The Policy – this Remuneration Policy.
FIXED REMUNERATION
Each Employee shall be paid a monthly salary, i.e. a basic fixed remuneration (the "Salary"). Members of the elected bodies who do not have an employment contract with the Company may receive remuneration in the form prescribed by law and under service contracts.
The remuneration of the Employees of the Company and of the Group is reviewed and set, as a rule, once a year. The remuneration of the Company's Employees shall be determined by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The remuneration of the Group's Employees shall be determined and reviewed in accordance with the law and the companies' internal procedures. The level of remuneration takes into account the level of responsibilities, professional competences, personal qualities and objective conditions in the labour market. The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The remuneration of the top managers of the Group companies shall be determined by the Board of that Group company or, if there is no Board, by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of the Company shall be informed of the expected review of the annual Salaries and annual Bonuses, as well as of significant reviews of Salaries, Bonuses and other monetary remuneration during the year (the total remuneration of the Group's top managers and of their subordinated units shall be subject to a review irrespective of the materiality of such review).
The Company and the Group companies may defer the payment of remuneration and may use the opportunity to reclaim the variable part of the remuneration.
The employment contracts concluded by the Company and the Group companies do not contain any agreements on supplementary pensions or early retirement arrangements, the conditions of termination of the employment contract and the payments related to the termination of the employment contract do not differ from those provided for in the applicable legislation. The Board of Invalda INVL has the right to apply exemptions after assessing individual agreements, significant contribution to earned profit or other objective circumstances.
Bonus – in addition to the monthly Salary, a bonus may be paid as an incentive to the Employees. A Bonus is an additional Employee's remuneration which is granted and paid on the initiative of the Company and/or the Group Company as a means of incentive and motivation of Employees to reward them for a job well done, or for the performance or results of the Employee or of the Company or a division. The Bonus may be short-term (annual cash bonus) as well as long-term (3 years or more).
The decision on the payment or non-payment of the bonus is taken by the Company and the Group company at its own discretion. The Company's Board is informed about the amounts of bonuses offered to the top managers of the Group's companies and of their subordinate units. The annual cash bonus is paid once a year after the annual evaluation of the Employee's work after the approval of the Company's consolidated annual financial report.
If the Company provides such an opportunity, instead of the bonus (all or part of it), the Employee, at his or her option, can be granted long-term incentive instead of the bonus (or part of it), such as stock options or contributions to a pension fund.
Share options may be granted in accordance with the Company's Rules for the Granting Equity Incentives, which are approved by the Company's Shareholders' Meeting and published on the Company's website. The amount of the annual bonus or the specific number of stock options for a specific Employee is assigned by the Company's Board at the proposal of the head of the Company or Group company, or stock options are granted as a reward based on future performance on the basis of the contract signed with the employee.
Other monetary remuneration is a premium, other benefits. An Employee may be paid a premium for additional work, performance of additional functions, performance of additional tasks or for making decisions of particular importance to the Company's results. The Board of the Company is informed about the amount of premiums offered to the top managers of the Group companies and of their subordinate units. The premium is determined by decision of the CEO of the Company or Group company. The premium is not included in the Employee's salary.
Other benefits - other potential benefits provided to employees as motivating measures. Pension contributions may be paid to the pension funds for the benefit of Employees or health insurance may be provided. Employees may also be provided with benefits that have a financial value but do not involve monetary bonuses, i. e. non-monetary benefits (reimbursement of part or all the cost of training, internal company events, etc.). The package of indirect financial benefits

is selected taking into account the financial situation and strategy of the Company or the Group, as well as the principles of fairness and transparency. The Company's board is informed about the amounts of other benefits offered to the top managers of the Group's companies and of their subordinate units.
The members of the Board are appointed and / or revoked for the term provided for in the Articles of Association of the Company, and the bonuses are granted and paid by the decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company in accordance with the procedure established by legal acts. Following the decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders on the payment of bonuses, the share of bonuses due to a particular member of the Board is determined by the decision of the Board, taking into account the contribution of a particular member of the Board to the Company's activities.
