In accordance with Article 294 b of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), Krka, d. d., Novo mesto releases

REPORT ON REMUNERATION OF MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BOARD MEMBERS OF KRKA, D. D., NOVO MESTO IN 2023

Introduction

In accordance with Article 294 a of the Companies Act, Krka, d. d. Novo mesto (hereinafter 'the company') has drafted the Remuneration Policy for Management and Supervisory Bodies of Krka, d. d., Novo mesto (hereinafter 'Remuneration Policy'), which it must present to its Annual General Meeting (hereinafter 'the AGM') to vote on pursuant to Article 294 a (1) of the Companies Act. The vote on the remuneration policy is an advisory vote. Pursuant to Paragraph 3, Article 294 a of the Companies Act, payments to management and supervisory body members must comply with the remuneration policy approved by the AGM. The company put its Remuneration Policy on vote at the 29th Annual General Meeting of 6 July 2023. Of total votes cast, 97.45% were in favour of adopting the document.

The remuneration policy is based on Krka's long-term development strategy and its sustainability policy and strategy. It encourages the Management Board for achieving the company's strategic objectives, focusing on its long-term development and sustainable operations. The Supervisory Board of Krka engages in adoption of that strategy. The Management and Supervisory Boards also endorse the sustainability policy and strategy of the company.

This remuneration report refers to the said document. In 2023, there were no deviations from the procedures laid down in the Remuneration Policy. The report includes a comprehensive overview of remunerations, including all bonuses rewarded to individual management and supervisory body members by the company.

Remuneration of Management Board members

The Krka Management Board is composed of the President of the Management Board Jože Colarič; members Aleš Rotar, Vinko Zupančič, and David Bratož; and Milena Kastelic, a member – Worker Director.

Members of the Management Board receive fixed and variable remunerations as well as bonuses and fringe benefits as per their service agreements.

Fixed remunerations are determined in their respective contracts as multiples of the average salary of Krka employees in the last three months. The Supervisory Board determines them upon appointment of the members to the Management Board as per their individual areas of work. Multiple four (4) is applied to Milena Kastelic, Management Board member – Worker Director, acting as a workers' representative, who represents employee interests in human resource and social issues. Multiple seven (7) is applied to David Bratož, Management Board member responsible for corporate performance management, finance, information technology, and certain administrative services, and to Vinko Zupančič, Management Board member responsible for API R&D, production, and supply chain management. Multiple eight (8) is applied to Aleš Rotar, Management Board member responsible for research and development of finished products, new products, quality management, and health and safety at work. Multiple ten (10) is applied to Jože Colarič, the President of the Management Board, in charge of marketing, sales, human resources, investments, industrial property, and certain administrative services. They receive allowances for continuity of service and years of service under the same criteria as all other employees. In 2023, the average monthly salary at Krka totalled €3,327 gross, exclusive of annual leave pay, Christmas bonus, company performance bonuses, and other bonuses awarded for good work performance. The effective gross average salary was, therefore, in fact higher.

In accordance with bye-laws, Management Board members are also entitled to bonuses, compensations, and other payments to which Krka employees are entitled (years of service, continuity of service, anniversary bonuses, Christmas bonus, annual leave pay, other bonuses, compensations, and payments in accordance with bye-laws).

The Supervisory Board determines variable remuneration in line with the existing remuneration policy on the basis of the opinion of the relevant committee. Performance is evaluated based on the Krka Group consolidated data, except when performance criteria specify otherwise.

The Supervisory Board measures the Management Board performance according to financial and non-financial criteria, which encourage the Management Board to pursue the objectives set in Krka's long-term development strategy, its sustainability policy and strategy, and therefore aim for long-term development and sustainable operations.

Financial criteria prompt the company to launch and sell products of maximum customer value in as many markets as possible. They closely consider effective and efficient production and performance of other business functions, as well as good working capital management and risk management.

Non-financial criteria contribute to the same objectives in the long term, and to other objectives laid out by Krka's sustainability policy and sustainability strategy.

All performance criteria add to reaching the company's primary objective, i.e. running a profitable business while maximising company value, generating a profit, and acting for the benefit of the company, employees, shareholders, and the social community.

Krka sustainability policy and strategy set six aspects most important for stakeholders and Krka in the long term:

  • Product quality and patient safety;
  • Talent attraction and retention;
  • Good leadership and governance practices;
  • Accessible healthcare;
  • Planet and climate change; and
  • Compliance, integrity, and transparency.

Successful work of the Management Board in the above areas contributes to achieving best possible financial criteria.

The ESG Policy of Krka is published on SEOnet of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. The summaries of company's activities as regards sustainable operations are also published in annual reports and on Krka websites.

Variable components of the Management Board member remunerations depend on their performance in achieving financial and non-financial criteria set out hereinafter.

Financial criteria are used to evaluate the performance of current operations and how they were satisfied in the past.

Non-financial criteria are applied to Management Board activities, augmenting successful business performance in the future. The Supervisory Board evaluates the work of the Management Board in this regard in the context of future effects (long-term performance).

Non-financial criteria account for 35.3% of total scores, while financial criteria account for the difference in evaluation of the Management Board performance.

Variable components of the Management Board member remunerations are determined annually in accordance with the Remuneration Policy. The Supervisory Board evaluates Management Board performance using seven (7) financial and six (6) non-financial indicators. The former include a total of eleven (11) units and weights, and the latter six (6). One unit of the variable remuneration in the relevant six-month or one year period amounts to the average fixed monthly remuneration of a Management Board member.

Financial criteria are as follows (the maximum number of allocated units which also represent weights, are given in brackets):

  • Sales revenue growth (2);
  • Sales volume growth (2);
  • Sales revenue growth against competitors (1);
  • Increase in cash flow from operating activities (1);
  • Increase in operating profit (3);
  • Return on equity against competitors (1);
  • Dividends paid (1).

Non-financial criteria are as follows (the maximum number of allocated units which also represent weights, are given in brackets):

  • Product quality and patient safety (1);
  • Talent attraction and retention (1);
  • Good leadership and governance practices (1);
  • Accessible healthcare (1);
  • Planet and climate change (1);
  • Compliance, integrity, and transparency (1).

Until the 29th Annual General Meeting of 6 July 2023, the non-financial criteria were as follows (the maximum number of allocated units which also represent weights, are given in brackets):

  • Corporate social responsibility, company reputation, public relations, investors relations (1);
  • Activities in new indication areas (2);
  • Implementation of new requirements, entry into new markets, new product launches (2);
  • Investments, human resources, and information technology (1).

Here is the list of criteria for each indicator:

Performance evaluation as per non-financial indicators is based on a written report of the Management Board. Activities that will bring results in the future are scored, and past achievements are monitored in this context.

The unit of variable remuneration payment in the relevant six-month or one year period is the average fixed monthly remuneration of the relevant Management Board member.

Financial criteria apply to performance evaluation in the current year or six-months (short-term performance) and in the past ten calendar years (long-term performance). The reward evaluation of all Management Board members comprises current period performance (60%), and performance over the past calendar years (40%). The Supervisory Board can adopt a resolution to change the weight for long-term performance to 50%.

A different approach is applied for non-financial criteria, rewarding the impact of current activities on future results.

If justified, the Supervisory Board may increase (bonus) or decrease (malus) the number of units calculated based on financial and non-financial indicators by a maximum of three units and thus adjust the amount of variable remuneration paid. A bonus applies if the Supervisory Board assesses that the company operations exceeded expectations in view of the business situation. A malus applies if corporate compliance or risk management rules are breached, or if the Supervisory Board assesses that the company could have performed better considering the business situation.

The number of units of variable remunerations for the President of the Management Board and Worker Director is additionally corrected. Variable remuneration of the President of the Management Board equals the number of units of a Management Board member times 1.2, while that of the Worker Director equals one third of the said units.

Variable remuneration is calculated and paid based on business results for the first six months (cut-off date: 30 June of the current year), when the first part of variable remuneration for the current year is calculated and paid. This part amounts up to seven (7) units for the President of the Management Board and up to six (6) units for all other Management Board members, but not exceeding 50% of variable remuneration annualised on the basis of current results. The remaining variable remunerations are deferred by twelve (12) months from the above cut-off date and determined and paid based on the actual Krka Group results for the previous financial year, whereby the audited results must be comparable to unaudited results, which served as a basis for the Supervisory Board's evaluation of the Management Board's performance during the year.

A two-year deferral period applies to 50% of variable remuneration component for each financial year payable to members appointed to the Management Board for the first time after the adoption of the Remuneration Policy. Any member sitting on the Management Board under two years is not entitled to the deferred variable payment. In 2023, no such member sat on the Management Board.

The company can request that variable remuneration or its proportional part be returned within three (3) years from the payment:

  • If the annual report is annulled and the reasons for the annulment relate to data or information which served as the basis for determining the variable part of remuneration; or
  • On the basis of the special auditor's report which shows whether the criteria for determining the variable part of remuneration have been misapplied or whether material data or indicators have not been properly identified or taken into account.

Variable remuneration refund is made first by offsetting the allocated variable remunerations which have not yet been paid.

Management Board members are entitled to bonuses and fringe benefits as follows:

  • Insurance total in the amount of the annual premium not exceeding 1/12 of the annual fixed remuneration of the relevant Management Board member. Supplementary pension insurance, accident insurance, supplementary health insurance, regular life insurance without unit-linked insurance, and comparable types of insurance are available, excluding unit-linked life insurance.
  • Use of a company car, also for private purposes, valued up to €70,000, including VAT, or up to €90,000, including VAT, if the vehicle is environmentally friendly. The vehicle cannot be replaced earlier than after three years or mileage of at least 150,000 km, unless the Supervisory Board approves.
  • Payment of membership fees for professional associations and clubs of up to €1,500 annually.
  • A comprehensive annual medical examination. If it is performed by a medical institution outside Slovenia, the expenses are paid in comparable amounts payable to a medical institution in Slovenia.
  • Members of the Management Board are also entitled to bonuses or fringe benefits to which all Krka employees are entitled.

Krka provides members of the Management Board with sufficient fixed assets of the company for their work and covers the related expenses as well as entertainment expenses in consideration of good practices in companies of comparable sizes and management codes valid in Slovenia.

Management Board members also sit on supervisory boards of certain Krka subsidiaries, but they do not receive additional payments for these positions.

Below is the remuneration paid to Management Board members in 2023 and 2022 by type of payment in each year. The table shows remunerations paid by Krka. In the 2019–2023 period, members of the Management Board received no remuneration from other Krka Group companies. They also had no financial benefits, receipts or services approved or provided for their activities by a third party. The difference between remuneration in this document and in the annual report arises because the cost principle applies to remuneration presented in annual reports.

No term of a Management Board member was terminated early in the reported five-year period, hence no related payments ensued. Also, no payments were made to any former Management Board members.

*Supervisory Board member since 7 July 2023

**Supervisory Board member until 6 July 2023

Remuneration of Supervisory Board members was determined with Resolution no. 4 adopted at the 29th AGM of 6 July 2023. Before that, remuneration was paid to Supervisory Board members in accordance with Resolution 4 adopted at the 27th AGM of 8 July 2021.

Supervisory Board members receive the attendance fee of €360.00 gross per person for attending Supervisory Board meetings (€275.00 gross until 6 July 2023). Supervisory Board members who act on committees receive an attendance fee for participating at committee meetings totalling 80% of the attendance fee received for Supervisory Board meetings. The fee for participating in correspondence sessions amounts to 80% of the usual attendance fee. Irrespective of the above and of the number of attendances in a financial year, each member of the Supervisory Board is entitled to receive attendance fees up until the total amount of attendance fees reaches 50% of the basic annual pay for exercising their function on the Supervisory Board. Irrespective of the above and of the number of Supervisory Board and committee meetings attended in a financial year, the Supervisory Board members who are members of one or more Supervisory Board committees are entitled to receive attendance fees up until the total amount of attendance fees received, based either on attending Supervisory Board meetings or Supervisory Board committee meetings, reaches 75% of the basic annual pay for exercising their function.

In addition to attendance fees, Supervisory Board members receive a basic annual pay of €21,000.00 gross per person for serving on the Board (until 6 July 2023 basic pay was €15,500.00 gross per annum). The President of the Supervisory Board is entitled to additional compensation amounting to 50% of the basic pay for serving on the board, and the Deputy President to an additional 10% of the basic pay for serving on the Board.

Supervisory Board committee members receive additional compensation amounting to 25% of the basic pay for serving on the Board. Presidents of committees are entitled to additional compensation totalling 37.5% of the basic pay for serving on the Supervisory Board. Every financial year, irrespective of the above and thus of the number of committees where an individual is a committee member or president, each Supervisory Board committee member is entitled to additional compensation for exercising their function up until the total amount of additional compensation reaches 50% of the basic annual pay for exercising the function of a Supervisory Board member. If the Supervisory Board member's term of office is shorter than the financial year, irrespective of the above and of the number of committees where an individual is a committee member or president, the person is entitled to additional compensation for serving on the Board up until its total amount reaches 50% of the basic annual pay for serving on the Supervisory Board, taking into account payments to which the member is entitled for the duration of their term of office in the respective financial year.

Supervisory Board members are also eligible to additional compensation for special tasks. Special tasks are unusual and highly complex, and they extend over a prolonged period of time, generally at least a month. With the consent of the Supervisory Board member, the Supervisory Board has the authority to assign special tasks to this member, decide on their duration and on additional compensation for preforming special tasks in accordance with the resolution of the AGM. In accordance with this AGM resolution, the Supervisory Board also has the authority to decide on additional compensation for special tasks of Supervisory Board members resulting from objective circumstances at the company. Additional compensation for special tasks is only allowed for the time of actual task performance. The Supervisory Board can make a decision on such tasks retrospectively as an exception (especially if special tasks result from objective circumstances at Krka), but for the previous financial year at most. Members can receive additional compensation for special tasks in total amount of up to 50% of the basic pay for serving on the Supervisory Board per annum at most, regardless of the number of special tasks. Complexity of a special task and the related increase in workload and responsibility are considered when determining the additional compensation amount. Additional compensation is calculated according to the time required to actually perform the special task.

Supervisory Board members receive basic pay and additional compensation for serving on the Board, and are entitled to additional compensation for special tasks in proportionate monthly payments for the duration of their service or special task performance. The monthly payment amounts to one twelfth of the above annual amounts. Depending on circumstances, additional compensation for special tasks can also be paid as a lump sum when the special task is completed.

Limitations for total amounts of attendance fees and additional compensation paid to Supervisory Board members do not affect, in any way or form, their obligation to actively participate in all Supervisory Board meetings and meetings of the committees they are members of, and their legal liability.

The Supervisory Board members are entitled to reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses incurred in connection with their work on the Supervisory Board up to the amount specified in the rules regulating the reimbursement of work-related expenses and other income not included in the tax base (provisions applicable to business travel and overnight accommodation on business trips). The amount that a Supervisory Board member is entitled to in accordance with the above rule has to be grossed-up so that the net payout equals actual travel expenses incurred. Mileage is determined based on distances between places calculated on the website of AMZS (Slovene national automobile association). Accommodation expenses can only be reimbursed if the permanent or the temporary residence of a Supervisory Board member or a Supervisory Board committee member and their places of work are at least 100 kilometres apart, and returning to the member's place of residence was not possible because public transport was unavailable or due to other objective reasons.

In the 2019–2023 period, members of the Supervisory Board received no remuneration from other Krka Group companies.
