The Nomination Committee has based its remuneration considerations on reviews of remuneration for comparable companies. Several sources have been consulted. Consistency with earlier practice combined with bridging to established normal practice for publicly listed companies is sought in the suggestion for board remuneration.
The Committee therefore believes that the proposal represents a competitive, but not leading, level of remuneration, corresponding to responsibilities, competence requirements and workload.
