This Remuneration Report presents the remuneration paid to members of the Board of Directors and the CEO of Finnair during 2022. Remuneration paid to members of the Executive Board is presented on investors.finnair.com website. The report has been prepared based on the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2020, which also correspond to the requirements of the EU's Second Shareholder Rights Directive. The advisory vote of the 2021 General meeting approved the 2021 Remuneration report, and thus no changes have been made to this 2022 report based on the vote of the General meeting compared to the 2021 report.
Remuneration at Finnair is based on the principles of performance, fairness, and competitiveness. Remuneration shall support the achievement of Finnair´s strategic goals and sustainability strategy, align the management's priorities with
Despite an improvement in Finnair's business performance compared to 2021, the level is still to the business performance, the remuneration of the CEO Topi Manner and other Executive Board members is directly impacted by the restrictions set by the Commission on management remuneration. The Commission issued on 9 June 2020 a decision that the participation of the State of Finland in Finnair's Rights Offering is compatible with the EU state aid rules. Under the Commission's decision, the
the interests of Finnair´s shareholders, encourage behaviour consistent with Finnair's values, and reward for excellent performance. These principles also guide the work of Finnair's People and Remuneration Committee. Year 2022 continued as an exceptionally challenging year for Finnair due to the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian war that started in February 2022 and their impact on Finnair's business. significantly below the pre-pandemic era. In addition Company agreed to certain conditions following the Offering, which include, among other things, limitations on management remuneration. These limitations resulted in Finnair not being able to implement the Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long Term Incentive (LTI) structures as described in the Directors' Remuneration Policy. To comply with the defined limitations, in summer 2020 the ongoing STI and LTI plans for the CEO were cancelled. Since 2020, the CEO has had an incentive program permitted by the Commission's remuneration restrictions. This share-based incentive program ends in June 2023. The personnel have a rebuild incentive that covers the same period and has same goals as the management incentive program.
Annual fees for the Board of Directors (Board) were last changed in 2020 and before that, in 2008. The remuneration paid to the Board, as presented in
the table below, has varied from year to year mainly based on the number of Board and committee meetings held during each year. The total amount paid to the Board has varied because the number of board members has first increased from seven to eight in 2018 and from eight to nine in 2020 and decreased again from nine to eight for the years 2021 and 2022. The Board's decision in 2020 to forego the annual fee increases and additionally cut their current annual fees by 15% impacted the remuneration paid to the Board in both 2020 and 2021.
A significant share of the CEO's remuneration is based on variable pay and is linked to the achievement of set business targets, including both financial, operational and sustainability performance.
Remuneration of the CEO during the period of 2018– 2022 has varied due to variations in the company's financial results, CEO changes and remuneration restrictions. CEO Topi Manner joined Finnair on 1

January 2019, and hence he did not receive any STI or LTI payouts in 2019 based on previous years' performance. In 2022, the CEO's remuneration stayed at 2021 level and it included only base salary and benefits, in line with the restrictions set by the European Commission.
Average paid remuneration of the personnel of the Finnair Group was impacted by a number of factors during the past 5 years. In 2020 and 2021, extensive temporary lay-offs decreased the paid average remuneration per employee, calculated by including the remunerations of both the personnel at work and the personnel on temporary lay-offs or on leave. Paid average remuneration
per active employee on the other hand increased from year 2019 as the temporary lay-offs were extensive in operative employee groups where the salary level is lower than average. The layoffs continued in part in the beginning of 2022.
In the years 2021 and 2022, holiday bonuses were not paid in some personnel groups as part of the savings measures agreed with the personnel. The other main items impacting average employee remuneration include CLA-based annual salary increases, personnel incentive plan payouts as well as the volume of recruitments and retirements especially in those employee groups where remuneration is heavily based on seniority.
