The decision shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Policy and shall remain in force until revoked or modified.

Depending on the nature of their work, the remuneration of members of the Supervisory Board does not depend on the remuneration of the Management Board and the Company's employees, nor on the performance of the Company's operations.

The remuneration of members of the Supervisory Board consists of remuneration for performing office and meeting fees for membership in the Supervisory Board and its committees, and reimbursement of transport, subsistence and overnight stays incurred in connection with their work on the Supervisory Board or its committees. Members of the Supervisory Board are also entitled to benefits in the form of trainings and payment of the D&O insurance premium.

For participation in a meeting of the committee, members of the Supervisory Board Committee receive a meeting fee, which amounts to 80% of the meeting fee for each member of the committee for participation in a meeting of the Supervisory Board. The meeting fee for the correspondence session is 80% of the usual meeting fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of the number of attendances at meetings, an individual member of the Supervisory Board is entitled to the payment of meeting fees in a particular financial year until the total amount of meeting fees reaches 50% of the basic remuneration for performing office for a member of the Supervisory Board on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual member of the Supervisory Board who is a member of the committee or committees of the Supervisory Board is entitled, regardless of the number of attendances at meetings of the Supervisory Board and committees, to pay meeting fees in a particular financial year, until the total amount of meeting fees resulting from participation in meetings of the Supervisory Board and committees reaches 75% of the basic remuneration for performing the function of member of the Supervisory Board on an annual basis.

The nominal amounts received in each financial year are listed for each of the Management Board members in the annual report and in the report on the remuneration of management and supervisory bodies at Cinkarna Celje, d.d.

6.1. Composition of the remuneration of board members

The remuneration of board members shall consist of:

  • the basic part of remuneration,
  • the variable part of remuneration,
  • severance pay and
  • other rights.

6.1.1. Basic part of remuneration

Members of the board shall receive the basic remuneration or basic salary as an echo for their efforts to perform the assumption of membership of the management body.

Part of the remuneration of members of the Management Board already includes all allowances and benefits to which employees of the company are otherwise entitled based on the Employment Relations Act and collective agreements applicable to the company.

To determine the basic part of remuneration, principles, criteria, and circumstances shall be considered, including the level of complexity and responsibility of the work, taking into account in particular the following criteria:

  • a. the size of the company in relation to other comparable companies in Slovenia, considering the value of assets, net turnover generated and the average number of employees in the last financial year.
  • b. the complexity of the business, considering:
    • a. internationalization of business, which is judged by the share of revenues generated abroad.
    • b. the complexity of the immediate economic environment, which is assessed in terms of the level of competitiveness in the industry, competitiveness in the most important markets and the stage of development of the industry.
    • c. the complexity of key products, considering the stages of key product development, technological complexity, risks, and sales growth potential.
  • c. tasks and responsibilities, required knowledge, experience and competences of individual board members.

Considering the above criteria, the ceiling for the monthly basic part of remuneration is set at EUR 29,000.00. On 1 January each year, the highest material component of remuneration is automatically adjusted as the average earnings in society increase/in line with the growth of the average index of consumer prices, first for the period since the adoption of this policy and then for the period of the previous year.

6.1.2. Variable component of remuneration

The variable part of remuneration is that part of total remuneration, which is determined in the employment contract with a member of the Management Board depending on the performance of the company's operations and other criteria defined in the rules on the payment of the variable part of the salary of management members.

The purpose of the variable remuneration is to encourage top experts/managers to apply for the position of board member, as well as responsible and active work throughout the term of office, since the remuneration for their work is not based solely on a predetermined amount, but on the possibility of additional remuneration that encourages and motivates their work towards the realization of business strategy, long-term success and development, sustainable business and sustainability of society.

Variable remuneration is paid in the form of cash benefits and, subject to possible exceptions under this policy, amounts to not less than 40% and a maximum of 80% of the annual basic salary paid.

The financial and non-financial criteria for calculating the variable part of remuneration are set out in point 6 of this Policy. In the Rules on the remuneration of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board of the Company may specify in more detail the financial and non-financial criteria for calculating variable remuneration.

Variable remuneration is determined annually by a decision of the Supervisory Board, whereby a member of the Management Board acquires the right to pay variable remuneration, after the end of each financial year, subject to compliance with previously defined criteria, and the payment of the entire remuneration is made immediately after the adoption of the decision of the Supervisory Board.

A member of the board of directors must return the variable part of his performance, or a proportionate portion thereof, already paid within three years of his or her payment or part of the payment:

  • if the annulment of the annual report is established by final judgment and the grounds for annulment relate to the items or facts which formed the basis for determining the variable part,
  • based on a special auditor's report establishing that the criteria for determining remuneration have been incorrectly applied or that accounting, financial, other data and indicators have not been correctly identified or taken into account,
  • in all other cases as provided for by applicable law at the time.

On the proposal of the Supervisory Board and in accordance with the decision of the General Meeting, the Management Board may participate in part of the distributable profit. The amount of distributable profit, which can be distributed to the management board, may not, as a rule, exceed 5% of the part of distributable profit intended for dividend payments to shareholders and may not exceed six average monthly gross salaries of an individual board member in the last half-year. The participation of the management in the distribution of profits and its possible participation in profit or loss in the form of remuneration or a stimulating part of the salary, in accordance with the provisions of an individual employment contract, are mutually exclusive.

9. Establishment and setting criteria for measuring the performance of the variable part of remuneration

9.1. Financial and non-financial criteria for measuring performance

The variable part of the remuneration of board members depends on the fulfilment of performance criteria.

Financial and non-financial criteria are generally involved in the measurement of performance in equal proportions.

The financial criteria for determining variable remuneration are:

  • key financial indicators of EBITA operations, EBITDA, net profit or loss, outcome according to the business plan.

The non-financial criteria affecting the determination of variable remuneration are:

  • − fulfilment of projects based on a decision of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on the identification of these projects;
  • − social responsibility and employee satisfaction, building on the existing level;
  • − the effectiveness of ensuring sustainable business, objective work circumstances and business events beyond the control of the Management Board; and
  • − The discretion of the Supervisory Board about the assessment of the quality of the Board's work: poor, satisfactory, good, very good, excellent.

The amount of the share of each financial or non-financial criterion is determined by the rules adopted by the Supervisory Board, depending on the current challenges facing the Company.

As a rule, the amount of the share reflects the importance of the criterion regarding the importance of achieving a particular goal for the company.

The specific amount of variable remuneration of an individual member of the Management Board is determined using accounting methods, considering the criteria laid down in the preceding article and their impact on the amount of variable remuneration of a member of the Management Board. The calculation shall be made in the form of an overall assessment of the performance of each member of the board of directors for each year, whereby the estimate shall be directly reflected in the determination of the percentage of variable remuneration for the financial year to be assessed (previous year) in such a way that the overall performance evaluation has a range determined in accordance with this policy and management contract from the gross basic receipts received in the previous year.

The Supervisory Board is responsible for determining the performance of the Management Board and determining the variable part of remuneration in accordance with the Rules and this Remuneration Policy. Detailed criteria and criteria for determining the variable part of remuneration are adopted by the Supervisory Board after the adoption of the annual plan, as a rule by the end of the calendar year for the following year, or once a year to check their adequacy and, if necessary, propose changes.

At the latest when adopting the audited annual report for the financial year, the Management Board of the company also submits to the Supervisory Board a report on the work of the Management Board, which, taking into account these Rules, provides all the necessary bases on the basis of which the Supervisory Board can assess the performance of the Management Board's work during the financial year and, consequently, determine the appropriate level of variable remuneration.

The performance of the Management Board's work is determined, and variable remuneration is determined once a year for the previous financial year upon the adoption of the audited annual report adopted by the Supervisory Board.

9.2. Conditions for a temporary derogation from the Remuneration Policy

A temporary derogation from the Remuneration Policy is permissible only in exceptional circumstances necessary to achieve the long-term interests and sustainability of the company as a whole or to secure its assets. Derogations are also possible due to changes in legislation, e.g. changes in tax regulations.

Changed circumstances must occur after the General Meeting has discussed the Remuneration Policy.

The derogation may be applied if the following procedural conditions are met:

  1. In accordance with the instructions of the Supervisory Board and after obtaining the opinion of the Management Board, the personnel committee shall:

  2. verify the existence of exceptional circumstances or such amendments to legislation as permit temporary deviation from the Remuneration Policy,

  3. carry out a review of the existing system of remuneration of the administration,

    1. the staff committee establishes the existence of exceptional circumstances or changes to legislation justifying withdrawal from the Remuneration Policy and proposes to the Supervisory Board starting points for resignation (the policy elements for which it proposes to resign and their new amount),
    1. The Supervisory Board approves the proposal of the personnel committee.

Deviation of remuneration is possible only in respect of the following elements of the Remuneration Policy:

  • the amount of basic remuneration,

  • the amount of variable remuneration,
  • the amount of education benefits, membership fees, management review
  • the amount of severance pays,
  • the level of compensation for compliance with the competition clause.

9.3. Decision making on the Remuneration Policy and publication

The remuneration policy must be submitted to the general meeting for a vote on any significant change, and at least every four years.

The vote on the Remuneration Policy shall be consultative. If the General Meeting does not approve the proposed Remuneration Policy, the Company shall submit an amended Remuneration Policy to a vote at the next General Meeting.

The Company determines remuneration for members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board only in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, which was submitted for vote for approval at the General Meeting.

This Remuneration Policy shall enter into force when the General Meeting of the Company has been established as part of the advisory decision-making on it.

The Company's remuneration policy submitted to the general meeting shall be publicly announced without delay on the company's website, together with the date and results of the vote. The remuneration policy shall remain free of charge and publicly available for at least the period during which it applies and for a minimum period of ten years.
