The aim of Caverion's remuneration systems is to drive top performance, to attract, develop and retain the best talent and to align shareholder and employee interest in the long run.
Caverion Corporation's Annual General Meeting decides on the remuneration of the Board of Directors. The Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for preparing the remuneration of the Board of Directors proposed for the Annual General Meeting. The Human Resources Committee also prepares general remuneration principles, short- and long-term incentive schemes and the compensation policy of Caverion Group, which the Board of Directors approves.
The Board of Directors appoints the President and CEO and approves his/her terms of employment and remuneration. The Board of Directors also appoints the members of the Group Management Board. According to Caverion guidelines, all individual remuneration decisions have to be approved by applying the manager's manager principle. Regarding Group Management Board members, the Chairman of the Board approves Group Management Board members' remuneration decisions.
The basis of remuneration at Caverion is a fixed base salary, in addition to which Group's management and most of the salaried employees are included in a performance bonus plan. The aim of the annual performance bonus plan is to reward the management and selected employees based on the achievement of pre-defined and measurable strategic targets. The Board of Directors ratifies the rules of the annual performance bonus plan every year, according to which possible bonuses are paid. Performance of the Group, the President and CEO as well as Group Management Board members is evaluated by the Board of Directors. The amount of possible bonuses is approved by the Board of Directors after the financial statements have been prepared.
The amount of the possible bonus payment is based on the achievement of the set financial performance targets, such as the Group's and/or division's financial result, strategic targets and/or development objectives set separately. Individual target bonus opportunity and maximum bonus opportunity are based on role responsibilities. Possible bonus payments can vary from zero payment to the pre-defined maximum bonus payment based on the achievement of targets set.
Performance and development discussions are an essential part of the performance bonus plan and performance management at Caverion. In these discussions, individual targets, their relative weighting and realisation of the previously agreed targets are reviewed.
Long-term incentive schemes are a part of the management remuneration at Caverion Group. The key aim is to align the interests of the shareholders and the executives in order to promote shareholder value creation and to support Caverion in becoming a leading European provider of advanced and sustainable lifecycle solutions for buildings and industries. In addition, the aim is to commit the key executives to the company and its strategic targets and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on the ownership of the company's shares.
.
The Board of Directors approved Performance share plan 2014-2016 in its May 2014 meeting. The plan consists of one three-year performance period in 2014−2016. It is followed by a one-year vesting period, after which the potential rewards will be paid in spring 2018. A person participating in the plan has the possibility to earn a reward only if his/her employment continues until the payment of the reward. After the shares have been allocated, they will be freely transferrable.
The potential reward is based on the targets set for Group revenue and EBITDA margin until the end of 2016. The reward is to be paid in Caverion shares and as cash payment, which is intended to cover the taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. If all targets will be reached, the share award will in total correspond to a maximum of 500,000 Caverion shares. Any shares to be potentially rewarded are acquired through public trading, and therefore the plan has no diluting effect on the share value. In total, the plan covers approximately 40 persons. Expenses related to share-based incentive plan have been EUR 329,125 in 2015.
Caverion's Board of Directors approved a share-based long-term incentive plan in its December 2015 meeting. The plan consists of a Performance Share Plan, complemented with a Restricted Share Plan for special situations. Both plans consist of annually commencing individual plans, each with a three-year period. The first plans will commence at the beginning of 2016 and any potential share rewards thereof will be delivered in the spring of 2019.
Based on the decisions of the Caverion Corporation's Annual General Meeting on March 16, 2015, the members of the Board of Directors are entitled to the following fees:
A meeting fee of EUR 550 is paid for each Board and Committee meeting attended in addition to travel costs associated.
The remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors totalled EUR 354,600 in 2015. None of the Board members have an employment relationship or service contract with Caverion Group and they are not covered by any of Caverion Group's short- or long-term incentive schemes or pension plans.
