Adevinta Remuneration Report

2021

1. Introduction

This remuneration report (the "Remuneration Report") on the Adevinta ASA ("Adevinta'' or "the Company") salary and other remuneration for its Executive Management Team (the "Executive Management'' or "the AdEx") is prepared pursuant to Section 6-16 b of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act.

The purpose of the Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee ("RemCo") has been established by the Board of Directors of Adevinta (the "Board") to assist the Board in determining the remuneration policy for the Executive Management prepared pursuant to Section 6-16 a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Remuneration Policy" or the "Policy") and practices of the Company, with particular emphasis on remuneration for senior management and employee share participation schemes, having regard to statutory and regulatory requirements.

The Board determines the Policy and, as required by statute, seeks shareholder approval for such a Policy on a periodic basis. The Policy is designed to support business strategy and promote long-term interests and sustainable success of the Company. The Policy does this by ensuring that the Company attracts and retains qualified people in governing and leadership roles to lead the Company in accordance with long-term strategies in a sustainable manner. This requires that the Company offers remuneration that is performance driven, highly competitive, fair and equitable, simple and measurable and flexible. The purpose of variable remuneration associated with the Company's financial and strategic objectives is to ensure that the remuneration scheme fosters performance that is consistent with the business strategy. The long-term and common interests of directors and shareholders are safeguarded through means that include shareholding requirements of the AdEx, the use of long-term share-based incentives that tie to Company performance and by keeping remuneration at a competitive level. The overall remuneration of the AdEx is based on an assessment of the individual's competence and personal suitability, relevant market conditions, the nature of the position and performance.

In the interest of increasing transparency around the remuneration offered to the Executive Management, the Board is committed to provide the information needed to explain how the remuneration is linked to performance and the overall strategy of Adevinta. This information will be provided annually in the Remuneration Report, covering the total Executive Management remuneration from any undertaking of the Company, which is presented to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is subject to an advisory vote.

Main Activities During 2021

During the past year, the Board and RemCo have engaged themselves in a number of activities in addition to its normal tasks, including:

  • The purchase of the eCG business from eBay was finalised on 26 June 2021, making Adevinta the #1 leading online classified ads company in the world. Adevinta has doubled in size post acquisition of eCG and the need for talent will continue to grow.
  • The reward plans of Adevinta and those of eCG, via eBay, differed in aspects of equity plan eligibility and annual bonus plan targets, necessitating harmonisation that began in 2021 and will continue to 2024.
  • The introduction of the Deferred Adevinta Variable Incentive (DAVI) and the Legacy Equity Plan (LEP), both share based plans introduced in conjunction with the acquisition of eCG from eBay who offered an RSU plan to more junior employees than Adevinta had previously offered.
  • Aligning on the financial and strategic targets for organisational performance for the part of the financial year after the acquisition of the eCG business from eBay, used to determine payouts of the Adevinta Variable Incentive cash bonus plan and the DAVI plan for 2021. Legacy Adevinta employees had 2 periods of bonus the 8 months of January to August and September to December. Incoming Adevintans from eCG had one period
  • Granting of extraordinary spot equity awards to employees, including interim AdEx members, related to the retention of critical talent throughout the integration of the eCG business into Adevinta.
  • Determining the Performance Share Plan (PSP) awards for 2021. This year, in light of the eCG acquisition and the eBay remuneration structure that previously applied to eCG colleagues, the Board determined that 25% of the award would be granted as restricted stock units vesting subject to continued employment to vest date. The remaining 75% of the award is subject to relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance over a 3 year period, consistent with previous years.
  • The addition and onboarding of new members to the Board as well as the appointment of Marie Oh Huber to RemCo.

The next Remuneration Policy update is planned for 2022 to be voted on at the Annual General Meeting in 2023.

2. Total Remuneration of our Executive Management

The remuneration paid to members of Executive Management consists of a fixed and a variable part in addition to non-monetary benefits. The fixed remuneration consists of a base salary, pension contribution and other benefits. The variable remuneration consists of short-term variable pay (the Adevinta Variable Incentive, an annual cash bonus) and share-based pay (the Performance Share Plan (PSP) and extraordinary retention awards). Executive remuneration decisions are determined based on external benchmark data of relevant international peers and are reviewed by the RemCo and approved by the Board annually.

For further details, reference is made to the Policy which sets out the principles for remuneration of the Executive Management.

4 The Company's right to reclaim variable remuneration Clawback

The share-based award plans include malus and clawback provisions which permit Adevinta to cancel unvested shares and/or to require already transferred shares to be delivered back to the Company, including in the following circumstances:

  • Discovery of a material misstatement resulting in an adjustment in the audited consolidated accounts or the audited accounts of any Adevinta group member;
  • Action or conduct of a participant which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, amounts to employee misbehaviour, fraud or gross misconduct;
  • Agreements entered into with employees under previous plans (including those which were transferred to Adevinta as part of the demerger process from Schibsted) will continue.

No clawback provisions have been enacted for the Executive Management during the year.

5. Information on how the remuneration complies with the remuneration guidelines and how performance criteria were used

The information describes how incentives were delivered to the Executive Management in 2021 and how they were determined versus performance.

AVI 2021 Performance Goal Information

The Executive Management participate in the AVI cash-based incentive plan, designed to drive performance over a one-year period coinciding with Adevinta's financial year. Payouts are based on the achievement of financial, strategic and operational objectives which are set by the Board at the start of the financial year. The performance period is the same as the financial year. Personal performance is not considered for the plan, in order to reflect the culture of winning together and losing together.

AVI payouts are determined by:

● Financial underpin

A threshold of 80% of budget Group EBITDA and Group revenue is applied, where a minimum performance is needed for any incentive to be payable to anyone eligible to ensure results are achieved for the group and that individual marketplace success cannot come at the expense of the group.

● Financial objectives

70% is weighted to the key performance indicators of revenue and EBITDA. There is a focus to drive overall performance for the Company via group EBITDA results and to drive local performance via local marketplace revenue results. For leaders of global functions, including the CEO and the AdEx for Product and Technology, Finance and Legal and People and Communications, 35% is attributable to group revenue and 35% to group EBITDA. For all AdEx for marketplaces, including France, mobile, European and International, 35% is attributable to local marketplace revenue and 35% to group EBITDA. These targets are set at the beginning of the year, and approved by the Board alongside the financial budget. Results are measured at the end of the year and approved by the Board.

● Strategic and operational objectives 30% is weighted to targets for Group business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability objectives for the short-term strategic needs of a function or marketplace, and the interaction of targets across the AdEx. These targets can include operational measures of the business, measures on people and talent and measures on environment, social and governance initiatives.

PSP 2019 Vesting Performance Information

The PSP 2019 award vests to the extent that the Performance Target was met over the Performance Period from 10 April 2019 until 31 December 2021 relative to a Comparator Group. Adevinta's performance relative to the Comparator Group was at the 66th percentile, which falls between the median and the upper quartile to give a final vesting of 73% of the Maximum Opportunity. For Executive Management the PSP 2019 will vest in tranches of 50%/25%/25% on 31 December for the years 2021/2022/2023.

TSR 17.65% 58.46% 40.44%
Percentile 50th 75th 66th
Vesting 25% 100% 73.0%

The shares used to vest this award were acquired from the market and were not new issues of Adevinta shares.

6. Exceptions and deviations from the Remuneration Policy and the procedure for implementation

The Board may in special, temporary circumstances deviate from all or parts of this Policy, if such deviation is deemed necessary to serve and/or safeguard the long-term interests and sustainability of the Company as a whole or assure its viability, including related to special events including divestments and acquisitions and resulting business transformations as well as for reasons concerning the competitive external talent market and remuneration practices.

Any such deviation must be discussed in the RemCo who shall provide a substantiated recommendation to the Board.

For 2021, the following deviations have been made:

1. AVI Bonus Target for the CEO of 65% from 2021

With the acquisition of the eCG business from eBay in 2021, the annual Adevinta Variable Incentive (AVI) bonus target for the CEO was harmonised from the prior 50% target to the eCG target of 65%. The RemCo recommended this action that was approved by the Board to assist in the long-term integration goal of the Company. This change happened upon the integration after the Annual General Meeting in 2021 and was therefore a deviation from the previously approved Policy. This deviation will be proposed to be made permanent in the Remuneration Policy to be addressed to the Annual General Meeting in 2022.

2. Holding Requirement on Executive Performance LTI from 2021

Prior to 2021, LTI for the Executive Management included a vesting schedule of 50%/25%/25% after 3/4/5 years. In 2021, the LTI vesting was changed to 100% after 3 years, but with a 2 year holding period thereafter in order to more closely align with typical market practice, and therefore be more competitive to ensure retention of key talent at a critical time for Adevinta following the acquisition of eCG. The RemCo recommended this action that was approved by the Board to assist in the long-term integration goal of the Company when the PSP was granted after the Annual General Meeting in 2021.

3. PSP Change for Executive LTI from 2021

To recognize the combination of eCG and Adevinta, a portion of this LTI program was changed to RSU to aid retention of key talent during changing and ambiguous times. The award vests after 3 years, except for new joiners where it vests after one year. The RemCo recommended this action that was approved by the Board to assist in the long-term integration goal of the Company. The grants were made after the Annual General Meeting in 2021. This deviation has improved retention in a critical market. An extension of this RSU award as part of the PSP is included by the Board for proposal at the Annual General Meeting in 2022.

4. Legacy Equity Plan (LEP) Grants for 2021

With the combination of eCG from eBay, incoming Adevintan employees forfeit their unvested eBay RSUs at the close of the sale. The RemCo recommended and the Board approved the creation of a one-off equity plan to recognize the forfeit unvested

eBay RSU by granting transitional Adevinta awards under the LEP. For former executive team members of eCG, including future AdEx members, their LEP grants had as well a performance condition based on total shareholder return of Adevinta versus a peer group, with a minimum payout of 25% with CEO discretion should the performance condition not be met. These grants were made after the Annual General Meeting in 2021. The action was approved by the Board to assist with long-term retention of talent and to support the integration goal of the Company.

At the Annual General Meeting in 2021, the Remuneration Policy was adopted with 99.8% of the votes cast in favour. This Remuneration Report for the financial year 2021, as well as the Remuneration Policy, shall be proposed for approval at the Annual General Meeting in 2022.

10. Other arrangements for senior executives

Pension Arrangements

To remain competitive and to encourage retirement planning, the Executive Management may be eligible to participate in a defined benefit or defined contribution pension scheme, or alternatively may receive cash in lieu of pension. Contributions to defined contribution schemes or cash in lieu of pension are linked to base salary only.

  • The CEO continues to participate in the Schibsted Pension Plan which entitles him to a disability pension, early retirement pension from the age of 60 to 62 and thereafter a lifelong retirement pension 1 . This agreement was specific to Adevinta's spin-off from Schibsted at that time and is not intended to continue for a new CEO.
  • The EVP European Markets receive a cash payment in lieu of pension 8% of salary.
  • The Chief People & Communication Officer participates in a defined contribution scheme with employer contributions equal to 6% of salary.
  • Other members of the Executive Management do not currently receive pension contributions other than any applicable State pension contributions in the applicable country. However, the Board intends to review this during the coming year. Any pension arrangements will be viewed in connection with the overall salary and employment conditions, and will be aligned with market practice in the relevant country. Local rules governing pension entitlement, social security entitlement and taxation are taken into account when designing individual pension plans.

1 It has been agreed that the current CEO will retire as from 1 March 2023. He will receive an early retirement pension from this point until age 67, at which point he will receive the lifelong retirement pension.
