REMUNERATION GUIDELINES 2025

GUIDELINES FOR REMUNERATION OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES

The board of directors ("the board") proposes the following guidelines for remuneration of Komplett Group's ("the group" or "the company") senior executives ("the senior executives") to be approved by the shareholders at the 2025 annual general meeting, pursuant to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, section 6-16a and supplementing regulations.

This document ("the policy") describes the remuneration principles for senior executives in the group, which include:

THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) AND THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

Board directors, both shareholder-elected and employee-elected in their capacity as board members

  • X These guidelines are subject to approval by the shareholders at the annual general meeting. They shall be reviewed by the shareholders at the annual general meeting at least every fourth year, and any material change shall be subject to approval.
  • X The proposed guidelines replace the guidelines approved by shareholders at the general meeting in May 2024. They were resolved by the board of directors on 10 April 2025, and subsequently submitted for final approval by the company's shareholders on 7 May 2025.

THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

The board of directors has appointed a designated remuneration committee ("the committee") consisting of three of the board's directors, which main objective is to assist the board in its work relating to the terms of employment for Komplett Group's chief executive officer (CEO).

Key responsibilities are:

  • X Give recommendations to the board in all matters relating to principles and the framework for executive rewards, remuneration strategies and concepts, hereunder the CEO's contract and terms of employment
  • X Be involved in drawing up appropriate remuneration policies for senior executives

The board makes all decisions related to the CEO's remuneration. The decisions are based upon material and advice prepared by the remuneration committee.

These guidelines for remuneration to the senior executives are reviewed annually by the committee, and the committee prepares and recommends any changes to the board for approval.

REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSE

The main principle for the group's remuneration guidelines is to offer senior executives in the group competitive terms when considering the totality of the remuneration package. The total remuneration package comprises fixed elements such as base salary, pension arrangements, and benefits in kind and may also compromise variable elements such as annual bonus payment(s), as well as share and option scheme(s).

The group shall seek to offer a remuneration level that is considered to be competitive and on market terms, compared to the level offered by its peers (companies of similar complexity and industry), and which seeks to satisfy the group's need to recruit and retain highly qualified personnel.

The remuneration payable to the senior executives is important for the group in order to retain and attract qualified, competent, and talented senior executives. An important purpose of these guidelines is therefore to allow shareholders to influence the principles for determination of salary and other remuneration to senior executives, in such manner that it creates a remuneration culture that promotes the company's long-term interests, business strategy, and financial sustainability, and that this is aligned with the shareholders' interests.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Each board director receives a fixed fee determined annually by the shareholders at the general meeting.

Members of the board's committees (remuneration committee and audit committee) receive an additional fixed fee.

The shareholders at the general meeting determine, on an annual basis, the board and board committee members remuneration. The decision is based upon advice from the Nomination Committee according to guidelines set out by the general meeting.

TRAVEL EXPENSES ARE REIMBURSED ON ACCOUNT.

The board directors do not receive variable remuneration from the company. Board directors elected from the employees may participate in the group's variable incentive schemes. The remuneration to the board of directors does not entitle pension contributions or vacation pay.

EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

The remuneration of the executive management team shall reflect the responsibility of each role, taking into account the complexity and breadth of the group.

The remuneration for the executive management team consists of the following core elements:

  • X Fixed remuneration: base salary, pension, and benefits-in-kind
  • X Variable remuneration: a short-term incentive scheme (annual performance bonus) and a long-term incentive scheme
