Introduction

This report on the remuneration of Members of the Management Board and of the Supervisory Board of Bank Millennium SA (hereinafter "the Bank") has been prepared in keeping with the requirements presented in the Act of 29 July 2005 on Public Offering, Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organised Trading, and Public Companies (hereinafter "the Act on public offering"). The Report covers 2022 financial year and contains a review of remuneration awarded in keeping with internal regulations in force as well as principles of Corporate Governance, in particular with the "Remuneration policy with regard to members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Bank Millennium SA " (hereinafter: the "Remuneration Policy"). Additional rules considering payment of remuneration resulting from Risk takers status are stated in the "Remuneration Policy with Respect to Risk Takers in the Bank Millennium S.A. Group ("RT Remuneration Policy") which is integral part of the Remuneration Policy.

The Remuneration Policy supports the implementation of the strategy of the Bank and its subsidiaries (hereinafter: the " BM Group ") and the protection of its long-term interests. In particular, by providing competitive base salaries and additional benefits on the market, the Bank strives to attract and retain key people in the Bank. By granting variable remuneration, depending on key financial indicators and other qualitative indicators, the Bank strives to motivate Management Board Members to achieve strategic goals. The Remuneration Policy applied is also part of the Bank's overall strategy, enabling the acquisition, retention and motivation of the best managers and specialists in key areas of specialization for the Bank.

Review of financial results of the Bank and Group

As stated in the Annual Financial Consolidated Report of the Bank Millennium S.A. Capital for the 12-month period ending 31st December 2022, the BM Group posted consolidated net loss of PLN 1,015 million. The outbreak of war in Ukraine had paramount impact on the business environment in 2022, with migrant crisis, significant inflation, raising commodities and energy costs choking economic growth and undermining appetite for borrowing, particularly in the mortgage loans segment. Moreover, similarly to the year 2021, costs related to FX-mortgage portfolio originated by Bank Millennium were again a significant burden on the results of the BM Group as the number of new claims against the Bank remained high. Totalling PLN 2,363 million after tax, these costs were similar to PLN 2,430 million booked in 2021. Last but not least, 2022 also brought other significant extraordinary charges – cost of credit holidays and cost of participation in Institutional Protection Scheme ('IPS'). Of these, the upfront recognized cost of credit holidays in 2022- 23, itself totalled PLN 1,073 million after tax and was the direct reason for the breach of capital ratios in summer 2022 and consequently launching of the recovery and capital protection plans by the Bank.

Adjusted for FX-mortgage related costs, the BM Group would in 2022 post net profit of PLN 1,347 million, compared to adjusted 2021 net profit of PLN 1,098 million. Should not the credit holiday cost, the BM Group would post net profit of PLN 58 million in 2022, despite the abovementioned significant FX-mortgage related costs and costs of IPS.

Against all-odds, 2022 saw improving performance of the core business of the BM Group (ex-FX-mortgage segment), with 3Q22 bringing first positive operating result post FX-mortgage costs since 4Q20 and 4Q22 bringing first reported net profit since 4Q20.

The operating results of 2022 substantially improved when compared with 2021, but were significantly negatively impacted by the cost of so-called credit holidays .

Challenges facing the governing bodies resulting from the strategy adopted for 2022-2024:

Since the strategy for 2022-2024 was approved in 4Q2021, extraordinary events have happened that substantially changed the macroeconomic environment, the geopolitical situation and the operating environment of the banking sector in Poland. In particular, the rise of inflation followed by increase of interest rates in Poland, the credit holidays and the war in Ukraine had direct and indirect impact in the business and financial performance of the banks, apart from continuation of an unfavourable developments in the FX mortgage loans problem.

For Bank Millennium, which saw a gradual improvement of its operational results more than covering the costs related to FX mortgage legal risk, the challenge was triggered by the impacts of setting up IPS in the second quarter and credit holidays in third quarter 2022. In this context, while keeping most of its medium term targets, the Bank has as top priority an improvement of its capital adequacy ratios and fulfilment of MREL requirements, while preserving its business growth and improvement of profitability and efficiency.

The Bank will also remain committed to the natural environment and society. It is planned to reduce CO2e emissions by 50% (2020/22), and to reach climate neutrality (scope 1 and 2) by 2027. The Bank is striving to reach full climate neutrality (also in scope 3) by 2050 and will actively engage in supporting customers in their decarbonisation efforts.

The Committee conducted a detailed assessment of the results of the Bank's Management Board for 2021. The Committee took into account the following elements:

  • The BM Group recorded a consolidated net loss of PLN 1,332 mn, but these were costs related to the portfolio of FX mortgage loans granted mainly in 2006 - 2008 and they were the main cause of the net loss of the BM Group in 2021.
  • After adjustment, the BM Group would book a record high net profit of PLN 1,098 mln in 2021, compared to adjusted net profit of PLN 695 mln in 2020. Full year 2021 net profit adjusted for all extraordinary items (above mentioned FX-mortgage related costs, revaluation of Visa shares and provision against a corporate court case) stood at PLN 1,123 mln, up 46% y/y. Adjusted ROE at 13,8% against 8,4% in 2020.
  • Income was up 2% y/y, while opex (excluding charges for the Bank Guarantee Fund/"BFG" and legal costs) was down 7% y/y. Core income was especially strong in this period with 6% y/y growth in 2021. NII, the main driver, rose in Q4 by 15% q/q to above pre-pandemic level, while full-year NII in 2021 increased by 5% y/y. This result was achieved thanks to a combination of higher interest rates and a solid 7% y/y increase in loans (+15% y/y excluding the FX mortgage portfolio). Record-high disbursements of PLN mortgage loans (PLN 9.8 bn, increase by 46% y/y) and much faster leasing sales (PLN 3.9 bn, up 57% y/y) were the main factors contributing to this result. In the entire 2021, the Bank's share in the mortgage loan market was 12.5% (2020: 12.2%), which places us in the #3 position on the market (2020: #4).

Taking into account the above factors, the Personnel Committee decided on 13 April 2022 to grant the Bank's Management Board variable remuneration for 2021 in the total amount of PLN 8.4 mln, paid 50% in cash/50% in equity instruments and deferable in 5 years following the regulations.

The Personnel Committee also approved the transfer of rights of the deferred parts of the variable remuneration for previous years without correction.

Opinion of the Supervisory Board relating to long-term provisions for the CHF mortgage loan portfolio reducing the Bank's financial performance, in the context of awarding variable remuneration to Board Members for performance in 2021:

The risk associated with the portfolio of CHF loans granted by Bank Millennium in 2006-2008,is largely beyond the control of the Bank and the Management Board - it depends on legal settlements and court judgments. At the same time, the process of mitigating the potential impact to the extent that it is manageable is being carried out very effectively - it is characterized by a faster-than-market-average pace of reducing the value of risky contracts in the portfolio. Bank Millennium launched the process of amicable settlements and large-scale renegotiation of contracts with borrowers as early as 2020, before the recommendation of the FSA in this regard. By the end of 2022, 17 754 settlements had been signed with borrowers, including nearly 8 000 in 2022 alone. At the same time, the value of the CHF loan portfolio had decreased by more than 30% since the beginning of 2020. The share of Bank Millennium's CHF portfolio in assets as of December 31, 2022 was 13.1% (according to the FSA's counting method) compared to 19.1% at the end of 2019. The Supervisory Board, in awarding variable remuneration to the Management Board in 2022, appreciated the commitment and proactive approach to risk management and the efforts made to mitigate the risks related to FX mortgage portfolio, as well as the measurable results in reducing its impact on Bank Millennium's financial performance.

As a rule, the annual bonus granted to the Members of the Management Board is paid in parts:

  • 50% in cash
  • 50% in a financial instrument

In 2022, part of the variable remuneration related to performance in previous years was paid in the Bank's own shares listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (acquisition of rights for part of the bonus of 2019 – 8.3% of the amount granted) and in phantom shares (tranches deferred in the financial instrument for 2018 – 8.4% of the amounts granted).

Financial instrument:

not deferred:
Deferred parts

The purpose of the Remuneration Policy is to link variable remuneration with the stable results of the Bank, which is why each of the above-mentioned parts of the bonus is subject to deferral. 50% of each form of bonus is paid upon taking the decision (in the year in which the bonus is granted) and 50% of each form of bonus is deferred.

With regard to the deferred bonus for 2018 and 2019, to which the Management Board Members acquired rights in 2022, the deferral period of the Deferred Bonus Part was 3 years in accordance with the following scheme:

  • 33% of Deferred Part after 1 year of deferral
  • 33% of Deferred Part after 2 years of deferral
  • 34% of Deferred Part after 3 years of deferral

From 2020, changes have been made to the bonus rights transfer scheme consisting in extending the deferral period to 5 years. The right to the Deferred Part shall be acquired in 5 consecutive years:

  • 20% of Deferred Part after 1 year of deferral
  • 20% of Deferred Part after 2 years of deferral
  • 20% of Deferred Part after 3 years of deferral
  • 20% of Deferred Part after 4 years of deferral
  • 20% of Deferred Part after 5 years of deferral

5-years deferral period has been applied to the Deferred Part of bonus granted for 2021. In order to emphasize the long-term perspective required in the work of Management Board Members and in accordance with applicable regulations, the part of the Bonus granted in the form of a financial instrument is subject to an additional 12-month retention period counting from the date of acquisition of the right to the instrument.

In order to eliminate the detrimental impact of certain events on the Bank's results, based on the Remuneration Policy, the Bank may apply the "malus" clause to the deferred part of the Bonus. In 2022, the Bank reviewed the criteria related to the "malus" clause, allowing the Bank to make a possible decision not to pay or suspend the Bonus until the next year or to reduce the deferred part of the Bonus in the event of events that may adversely affect the Bank's situation. The bank did not identify such events in 2022.

Taking into account the rules regarding the payment of the Bonus, the Bank decided to present in the following tables the amounts of remuneration rights to which were acquired in a given year.

Information on changes in the Remuneration Policy and the Bank's results

In 2022, the Bank provided remuneration to the Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on the basis of the functioning remuneration policy adopted by the Bank. In accordance with provisions of the Act of 29 August 1997 Banking Law ("Banking Law"), the Bank is obliged to follow a Remuneration Policy compliant with banking sector regulatory requirements. According to the procedure provided for in the Banking Law, the Management Board is responsible for the implementation of the Remuneration Policy, while the Supervisory Board approves and supervises it.

Binding "Policy for remuneration of Members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Bank Millennium SA" which recapitulates and details-out the to-date solutions regarding remuneration of members of the Bank's bodies has been adopted by General Shareholders Meetings on 24 March 2021.

An integral part of the aforementioned Policy is the "RT Remuneration Policy", which in 2022 was amended regarding the criteria for determining the bonus pool for Risk Takers and the possibility of converting variable remuneration awarded in a financial instrument, including the Bank's own shares, into phantom shares. The bonus pool can also be determined during the implementation of the recovery plan and capital protection plan, assuming that certain conditions are met. In a situation where a capital protection plan is in effect at the Bank, a condition has been introduced to determine the size of the pool within the predetermined MDA ratio - the maximum amount to be paid out in accordance with Articles 55 and 56 of the Law on Macroprudential Supervision. The Supervisory Board adopted the amendments to the Policy at its meeting on December 2, 2022.

In accordance with recommendation Z of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority the Bank set the ratio of average total remuneration of a member of the Management Board to average total remuneration of an employee at 40. The ratio has been established in the Employee Remuneration Policy in Bank Millennium Group. In 2022, the calculated ratio is 27.

The General Meeting of Shareholders of 30 March 2022 by resolution expressed a positive opinion on the previous report on the remuneration of the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Bank Millennium SA for 2021.

The table below presents the total remuneration of individual Members of the Management Board, selected financial results of Bank Millennium SA as well as the amount of remuneration of employees other than Members of the Management Board for 2022 and five preceding years.

*The increase in the total remuneration y/y may result from the fact that the Member of the Management Board began to perform his function during the year / transfer of rights to part of the deferred bonuses from previous years, in which the deferred parts did not accumulate.

The level of variable remuneration of Management Board Members is influenced by the business and financial results achieved, and the long-term results of the Bank are also taken into account when assessing the qualitative results of work. The applied process of deferral and acquisition of rights to shares associates variable remuneration with the Bank's medium- and long-term results.

The statement takes into account the composition of the Management Board of Bank Millennium as at the date of preparation of the assessment of the company's remuneration report i.e. as of 31 December 2022.

Data on the remuneration of Management Board Members and selected results of the Group are based on data published in the Management Board's Reports on the activities of the Bank Millennium Group for the years 2017-22, respectively.

The report is drawn up for the year ending on 31 December, 2022.
