Remuneration Report 2023

1. Introduction

Kojamo plc (hereinafter referred to as "Kojamo") complies with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2020, which entered into force on 1 January 2020. This Remuneration Report has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines concerning remuneration reports for governing bodies laid out in the Corporate Governance Code 2020. This Remuneration Report includes information on the remuneration of the Board of Directors, CEO and Deputy CEO in 2023.

Kojamo's remuneration policy was addressed by the General Meeting of Shareholders for the first time at the Annual General Meeting of 12 March 2020. The General Meeting resolved to approve the proposed remuneration policy.

The remuneration of Kojamo's governing bodies has complied with the Company's remuneration policy. Kojamo did not deviate from the remuneration policy in 2023. The Company also did not exercise the option stipulated by the remuneration policy to claw back remuneration in 2023.

Well-functioning and competitive remuneration is an important tool for the recruitment and retention of competent Board members, key personnel and employees to Kojamo which, in turn, promotes the implementation of the Company's business strategy and its long-term financial success. The remuneration principles are intended to ensure the implementation of Kojamo's strategy and the achievement of business goals.

The Annual General Meeting of Kojamo on 16 March 2023 resolved to approve the Remuneration Report 2022. The presentation methods of consecutive years are in line with each other.

The development of the remuneration of the Board members, CEO and employees and the development of the Company's total revenue is shown in the tables below.

2. Remuneration of the Board of Directors

The Annual General Meeting decides on the remuneration of the Board of Directors for their work on the Board and its committees as well as the grounds for determining remuneration. The Annual General Meeting of 16 March 2023 decided that the following annual remuneration will be paid to the members of the Board of Directors for the term ending at the Annual General Meeting of 2024:

Role Annual remuneration, EUR
Chairman of the Board 72,500
Vice-Chairman of the Board 43,000
Members of the Board 36,000
Chairman of the Audit
Committee
43,000

The Members of the Board are paid only one annual fee according to their role, which means that no overlapping fees will be paid. In addition, it was decided that an attendance allowance of EUR 700 be paid for each meeting and an attendance allowance of EUR 700 be paid for Committee meetings as

well. For the members of the Board of Directors or the members of the Committees who reside abroad and do not have a permanent address in Finland, the attendance allowance will be multiplied by two (EUR 1,400), if attending the meeting requires travelling to Finland.

The Annual General Meeting also decided that the annual fees would be paid as the Company's shares and cash, with approximately 40 per cent of the annual fee paid as Kojamo plc shares and the rest paid in cash.

The shares will be purchased directly on behalf of the members of the Board. The Company will pay any transaction costs and transfer tax related to the purchase of the Company shares. The shares in question cannot be transferred earlier than two years from the transaction or before the term of the member of the Board has ended, whichever date is earlier.

The members of the Board do not have employment or service contracts with Kojamo or its subsidiaries, and they are not covered by the employment-based remuneration schemes. The members of the Board also do not participate in Kojamo's incentive or retirement plans.

The remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors and its committees for 2023 were as follows:

3. Remuneration of the CEO

Decisions on the remuneration of the CEO and other fees paid to the CEO are made by the Company's Board of Directors in accordance with the remuneration policy presented to the General Meeting. The Remuneration Committee prepares matters for the Board of Directors pertaining to the remuneration of the CEO and the remuneration principles applied by the Company.

The remuneration of the CEO consists of fixed remuneration components and variable remuneration components. Fixed remuneration consists of a regular total remuneration package consisting of a salary and ordinary benefits in kind (such as phone and car benefits). Variable remuneration components consist of a short-term incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan.

Short-term incentive plan

The purpose of the short-term incentive plan is to incentivise the achievement of the Company's annual financial or operational targets. Short-term remuneration takes place within the framework of the annual performance bonus plan.

The Board of Directors decides on the criteria and potential size of short-term remuneration for each year at the end of the previous year. With the help of the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors assesses the achievement of the performance criteria for short-term remuneration relative to the targets based on the Company's reporting.

The grounds for determining the short-term remuneration paid to the CEO in 2023 for performance in the year 2022 – and the application of those grounds – is illustrated in the table below.

100 Company-level indicators (the Group's total revenue, the Group's FFO, the Group's administrative
expenses relative to total revenue, NPS and the Group's acquisition of investment properties)
87%
additionally, 5%
at a maximum
Individual performance indicator 100%5

The potential remuneration payable for performance in 2023 under the short-term incentive plan will be paid fully in cash in the following year.

Long-term incentive plan

The long-term incentive plan is intended to align the interests of Kojamo's shareholders and the CEO in order to increase the Company's value in the long term and engage the CEO's commitment to the implementation of the Company's strategy and offer the CEO a competitive incentive plan based on the earning and accumulation of the Company's shares.

The Board of Directors decides the performance criteria for each earning period and the targets for each criterion as well as the earning opportunity in cash and/or the number of Kojamo shares before the start of each earning period. The duration of the earning periods in the incentive plans currently in effect is three years each.

With the help of the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors assesses the achievement of the performance criteria of long-term remuneration based on the Company's financial statements figures at the start of each earning period relative to the confirmed target matrices.

The grounds for determining remuneration under the long-term incentive plans currently in effect and the degree to which the criteria were achieved are shown in the table below.

6 This represents the gross number of shares, including the cash component of the long-term incentive plan. For the 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 earning period, the figure shown is the actual number. For the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 earning periods, the figure shown is the maximum amount.

Any reward for each earning period will be paid during the year following the expiry of the earning period partially in shares in the Company and partially in cash. The cash component is intended to cover taxes and similar fees incurred by the CEO as a result of the reward. In the event that the CEO's employment or service relationship with the Company is terminated prior to the payment of the reward, no reward will be paid as a rule.

The CEO must hold 50 per cent of the net number of shares paid to him based on the whole incentive plan, until his/her total shareholding in the Company corresponds to the value of his/her annual gross salary. Such number of shares must be held as long as the CEO's employment or service relationship with the Company continues.

Supplementary pension contributions

The CEO belongs to a defined-contribution pension system for the members of the Management Team, in which an insurance premium corresponding to two months' pay is paid annually into a group pension insurance plan.
