6. Acknowledgement and approval of the amended remuneration policy to allow for a sharebased remuneration for the non-executive directors
Upon the recommendation of the remuneration committee, the board of directors proposes to amend the remuneration policy of the Company to allow for the granting of so-called "restricted share units" or "RSUs" to non-executive directors. This RSU remuneration component replaces the existing share-based remuneration in the form of a grant of warrants to non-executive directors as approved by the annual shareholders' meeting of June 8, 2022. The proposed features of the RSUs are summarized in the proposed amended remuneration policy.
The shareholders' meeting decides to approve (a) the amended remuneration policy, (b) the granting to non-executive directors of "restricted share units" or "RSUs" as further described in the amended remuneration policy, whereby the RSUs shall be awarded for the first time as of the date of this shareholders' meeting, and (c) the cancellation as of the date of this shareholders' meeting of the current warrant component of the non-executive directors' remuneration as approved by the annual shareholders' meeting of June 8, 2022.
