This remuneration report contains information on the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the CEO of Boreo Plc for the period January 1 to December 31, 2022. The report is based on the recommendations of the Finnish Securities Market Association's 2020 Corporate Governance Code and the requirements of the Securities Market Act and the Limited Liability Companies Act.
Boreo Plc's remuneration is based on the remuneration policy approved at the Annual General Meeting on April 19, 2022. According to the remuneration policy, the company's financial performance, the skills and performance of people involved, the complexity of their duties and external remuneration references in the relevant markets are considered when determining remuneration.
The remuneration of the CEO also addresses this specific roles' impact on forming and implementing the company's business strategy, as well as in achieving the short- and long-term financial results.
The remuneration of Boreo Plc's governing bodies in 2022 was accordant to the principles described above. The remuneration of the Board of Directors is based on generally accepted remuneration plans for members of the Board so that the Board as a whole is able to support the development of the Company's current and future business in the best possible way. The incentivisation effect, consistency and competitiveness of total remuneration were realized in the remuneration of the CEO.
The target setting in Boreo Plc's remuneration models is constructed so that the company's key financial figures and their positive development are at the core. This aims to ensure that excellent performance also leads to a positive outcome for the company's business objectives and that the company's profitability develops positively in the short and long term.
Boreo did not deviate from the remuneration policy of governing bodies during 2022. No recovery of remuneration took place in 2022 and no information has come to the attention of Boreo after the end of the financial period that would lead to the recovery of remuneration.
According to Boreo Plc's remuneration policy, the remuneration of the CEO is significantly influenced by the performance-based, variable component. Thus, the development of the company's key financial figures is reflected in the remuneration of the CEO.
The composition and size of the Board of Directors has varied significantly in 2018–2022. During this period, the average size of the Board of Directors was six persons, but fees were paid annually to 5– 8 persons due to changes in the composition of the Board of Directors. In 2022, the Board of Directors comprised six persons and one change took place.
During the financial period 2021, the company established an independent committee to be temporarily responsible for Board work during the preparation of the Sievi Capital Oyj merger. During the operating time of the independent committee, a fee for the Chairman of the Board was introduced on a fixed-term basis, and meeting fees were paid to the members of the committee.
In the financial period 2022, the Chairman of the Board started to receive Board fees and meeting fees in accordance with the decision of the Annual General Meeting held on April 19, 2022. No increase in the monthly and meeting fees was proposed from the level of the previous year.

Employees' averagesalaries, eur thousand (2018-2022)*
*Remuneration of employees consists of the average total salaries of employees, including basic salaries, fringe benefits and paid variable incentives. There were considerable structural changes in the Group in 2018–2022 due to acquisitions. This weakens the comparability of figures when analysing employee remuneration development. The Russian operations sold in August 2022 have been fully eliminated from the figures. In addition, the formula for calculating employees' average salaries was changed in 2022 to give a more accurate picture of average salaries in case of acquisitions, and the average salaries for 2018–2021 were adjusted correspondingly.

*In 2021–2022, revenue describes the company's continuing operations and thus does not include Russian operations that were sold in August 2022 and classified as discontinued operations in the 2022 financial statements.

*In 2021–2022, operational EBIT describes the company's continuing operations and thus does not include Russian operations that were sold in August 2022 and classified as discontinued operations in the 2022 financial statements.
