The remuneration presented in the table was paid in full in 2024.
The Remuneration Policy serves in particular to: (i) help deliver the Company's business strategy and ensure the Company's stability; (ii) provide the Management Board members with a coherent and incentive-based remuneration scheme reflecting their experience, qualifications and responsibilities, fostering their lasting commitment to the Company and to the performance of duties on their respective positions; (iii) provide proper incentive for the Management and Supervisory Board members to ensure their contribution and dedication to the long-term growth of the Company and its Group; and (iv) prevent the occurrence of conflicts of interests.
The remuneration of Management and Supervisory Board members is determined based on objective criteria including, without limitation, the scope of duties and responsibilities on a given position, required experience and qualifications, and market rates paid for that position in the video game industry. The Remuneration Policy was developed taking also into account the working conditions and employment and payment terms of the Company's employees other than members of the Management Board or Supervisory Board. In particular, those conditions and terms were reviewed to ensure that the remuneration of Management and Supervisory Board members reflects the level of their responsibility and qualifications and the extent to which they contribute to the delivery of the Company's and the Group's business strategy, and is suitable in light of the Company's and the Group's financial condition, while taking into account the need to ensure that persons serving on the Management Board and Supervisory Board have the highest degree of expertise and increased level of risk inherent to such service.
When evaluating compliance of the Management Board and Supervisory Board members' remuneration in 2024 with the Remuneration Policy, including its contribution to delivering the Company's long-term results, the following should be taken into account.
All remunerations paid by the Company to the Management Board and Supervisory Board members in the reporting period complied with the Remuneration Policy, and comprised the components provided for in the Remuneration Policy. Without prejudice to the Remuneration Policy, the Management Board and Supervisory Board members were also bound by agreements executed with the Company or Group companies (this applied only to the President of the Management Board) and resolutions of the Company's governing bodies, setting out policies for the members' remuneration.
The remuneration of the Supervisory Board members was determined by the General Meeting as a fixed amount linked to the position held (with higher remuneration paid to the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board) and tasks assigned to the individuals (additional fixed remuneration paid for service on the Supervisory Board's Audit Committee), taking into account the scale of the Company's business and its financial condition. In addition, Members of the Supervisory Board were granted additional remuneration in a fixed amount for attending each Supervisory Board meeting, due to the increased workload associated with preparing for and actively participating in Supervisory Board meetings. The cash allowance for attending Supervisory Board meetings is also an attendance-driving incentive.
The Supervisory Board members were not entitled to variable remuneration linked to the Company's performance. The application of this rule and the payment of remuneration to the Supervisory Board members comprising fixed components only, ensure independent oversight of the Company's economic condition, separating the amount of remuneration paid to the Supervisory Board members from the Company's performance and economic condition, which is a desirable effect in case of a supervisory body.
The level of remuneration of Members of the Company's supervisory bodies corresponds to market conditions, takes into account the scope of duties and responsibilities of Members of the Audit Committee and the Supervisory Board, and contributes to the ability to attract and maintain an adequate level of motivation of the individuals whose competencies are necessary for optimal supervision of the Company, including the long-term affiliation of these individuals with the Company and the long-term and their sustained cooperation with the Company.
The remuneration of the President of the Management Board, which comprises fixed remuneration for serving in this capacity determined by a General Meeting's resolution, and variable remuneration for the provision of services to the Company and other Group companies under a service contract signed by him as a sole trader, or under an employment contract, as the case may be, which is in line with the Remuneration Policy, supports full commitment of the President of the Management Board to the performance of his, incentivizing him to deliver the Company's business objectives.
Considering the above, the Supervisory Board is of the opinion that remuneration paid to the persons responsible for managing the Company is in line with market practice and helps retain such persons in the long term. The level of base pay received by the President of the Management Board and additional benefits, combined with variable remuneration, should, in the Supervisory Board's opinion, result in a long-term and stable relationship of the key person with the Company.
In line with the Remuneration Policy, remuneration paid to members of the Management Board for serving on the Management Board includes: (i) fixed monthly cash remuneration for serving on the Management Board, awarded regardless of the financial or non-financial performance criteria; (ii) variable remuneration in the form of bonuses ("Variable Remuneration"); (iii) other additional cash and non-cash benefits.
Members of the Company's Management Board may receive additional remuneration under employment contracts or civil-law contracts with the Company or other Group companies under which they perform work or provide services to the Company or Group companies unrelated to their management roles.
Members of the Management Board may also receive fixed remuneration for serving on the management board of a subsidiary, including a subsidiary established outside of Poland.
The authority to define the rules for awarding Variable Remuneration (bonuses) and other optional cash and non-cash benefits to members of the Management Board in line with the Remuneration Policy, to the extent necessary for their award and disbursement and to the extent these matters are not provided for and are not in conflict with the Remuneration Policy, is vested in the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board is in particular authorized to determine the type, amount and manner of payment of both fixed and variable remuneration (bonuses) and other cash and non-cash benefits received by each Management Board member from the Company.
The amount of Variable Remuneration (bonuses) payable to a Management Board member is contingent on the delivery of the objectives set for the Management Board members by the Supervisory Board, which are reviewed on an annual basis by the Supervisory Board. Under the authorization referred to above, the Supervisory Board may lay down detailed terms and conditions for the award and disbursement of Variable Remuneration (bonuses), including the targets for members of the Management Board, based both on selected targets set out in the Remuneration Policy and other targets the achievement of which, in the Supervisory Board's opinion, will contribute to the delivery of the Company's business strategy, serving its long-term interests and stability.
The Variable Remuneration for a given year, provided it has been determined by the Supervisory Board and is due, is paid to a Management Board member after the Company's consolidated financial statements for that year have been prepared and audited. In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, the maximum amount of the remuneration components comprising the Variable Remuneration (excluding any remuneration under share-based incentive schemes) of a Management Board member must not exceed five times the amount of the fixed remuneration components that the Management Board member receives from the Company and its subsidiaries.
In 2024, no Variable Remuneration (bonus) was paid to the President of the Management Board.
In 2024, the President of the Management Board received additional remuneration under a civillaw contract with the Company (the service contract of July 14, 2015) and under an employment contract with People Can Fly U.S., LLC, under which he provided the Company with services not related to his management role, and performed work for the Group company. The above remuneration was classified as variable (other than bonuses): under the service contract the amount of remuneration depended on the number of hours spent providing the services in a given month, while under the employment contract with People Can Fly U.S., LLC – it depended on the performance of work in or outside the United States.
