The main principle of Medistim's executive remuneration policy is that the compensation shall be competitive and provide the motivation to attract and retain individuals with the required competence.
The board determines remuneration for the CEO, while the CEO determines remuneration for the management team and leading employees. Compensation of the management is based on market terms and evaluated on a yearly basis. The terms have remained the same over several years. Remuneration of the CEO includes a share-based incentive plan. A share based incentive plan was also introduced for management group in 2021. This is described under point 3. The executive remuneration consists of a fixed salary and a variable part linked to the company's achievement. The criteria are reviewed annually and are linked to internal goals and budgets. Total remuneration in 2021 was in line with the criteria set for total compensation in 2021.
Management is included in the same pension plan as other employees. Other benefits are of minor financial importance such as free access to communication tools for the management team to be available. No executives will receive additional compensation when leaving the company.
In 2020 the variable compensation part was in general low. When setting targets for 2020 in late 2019 the Covid 19 effects was unknown. As a consequence, most of management team and leading employees did not reach their target. In 2021 the variable part is in general higher than normal. Entering 2021 and setting plans in late 2020 for the coming year was hard to predict and there was uncertainties on how the pandemic would affect Medistim business in 2021. In hindsight, Medistim business developed in a much more positive direction than first anticipated entering 2021.
In the below overview 1 and 2 for total compensation, bonus is achieved bonus for 2019 paid in 2020 and bonus achieved in 2020 paid in 2021. The overview 3 shows the achieved bonus for 2021 to be paid in 2022.

This statement has been submitted by the board of Medistim ASA in accordance with the Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 8-10 (5) (allmennaksjeloven § 8-10 (5))
The board has proposed that the company provide financial assistance to senior executives in Medistim ASA, in connection with the acquisition of shares in the company under the company's long-term incentive agreement for senior executives. The board's proposal must be approved by the company's general meeting in accordance with the Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 8-10 (4) (allmennaksjeloven § 8-10 (4)). In this connection, the board shall prepare a report on the financial assistance pursuant to the Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 8-10 (5) (allmennaksjeloven § 8-10 (5)), which is this document.
The following terms apply to the company's financial assistance:
Under the company's long-term incentive agreement for senior executive in Medistim ASA can acquire four shares and receive one share for every four shares acquired. This represent a 25% discount and is in accordance with the long-term incentive agreement. For shares acquired with a 25% discount, a three-year vesting period is attached. The Limit under this scheme is a total share value of NOK 8,500,000, where shares of value NOK 6,800,000 is acquired and shares of value NOK 1,700,000 is granted.
In the Board's opinion, it is desirable that the company's senior executives own shares in the company, as this provides the employees with financial incentives to (i) maximize shareholder value and (ii) remain in their positions for sufficient time to create a good result for shareholders. In order to further facilitate such share purchases, the board considers it to be in the company's interest to offer senior executives financing assistance for the acquisition of shares under the company's long-term incentive agreement.
In the Board's opinion, the financial assistance will not have any significant impact on the company's liquidity and solvency. Medistim will use already acquired shares and therefor there is no cashflow effect. It is considered to be a limited risk for Medistim since the loan is secured against shares.
