This includes an evaluation of the balance between the interests of Coloplast's shareholders and motivation to pursue long-term growth without promoting short-term or risky behaviour.
In the interest of increasing transparency around the remuneration offered to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management, the Committee is committed to provide the information needed to explain how the remuneration is linked to performance and the overall strategy of Coloplast. This information will be provided annually in the Remuneration Report, covering the total remuneration from any undertaking of the Coloplast Group, which is presented to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
During the past year, the Committee has engaged itself in a number of activities in addition to its normal tasks per the Committee Charter, including:

ESRS 2 GOV-3, E1-GOV-3
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 an annual cash bonus (shortterm incentive) and a share-based incentive scheme (long-term incentive). The sustainability-related performance is integrated into the annual cash bonus to incentivise Executive Management to achieve certain short-term sustainability targets.
Remuneration of the Executive Management is determined based on benchmarking against relevant Danish and international peers, as well as listed companies in the OMX C25 Copenhagen index. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews the remuneration annually, with final approval by the Board of Directors.
For further details, reference is made to the Remuneration Policy which sets out the principles for remuneration of the Executive Management and the Board of Directors.
The remuneration package to each member of Executive Management is established on the basis of and is compliant with the Remuneration Policy. This entails that the fixed remuneration consists of a fixed base salary, pension contribution and other benefits where a threshold of 20% on the value of nonmonetary benefits applies. The variable remuneration comprises of a cash bonus subject to a maximum of 35% of the fixed remuneration and a share option plan with a fair value at the time of the grant corresponding to up to twelve months' base salary including pension contributions. The purpose of the cash bonus is to incentivize Executive Management to achieve certain short-term financial and sustainability targets. The purpose of the share option plan is to align Executive Management's incentive with the creation of long-term shareholder value.
The financial targets are: organic revenue growth and operating profit margin (EBIT-margin) with a weight of 45% for each of the two targets. 10 % is attributed to sustainability. Coloplast's sustainability target is to reduce carbon greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the company (scope 1 & 2 ) by 35% compared to 2018/19 (base year) and has a target weight of 10%.
The target range is determined at the beginning of the year with a 100% payout for achieving results at the high end of the guidance range and a 50% payout for achieving results in the low end of the guidance range. The actual bonus cannot exceed 100% of the bonus potential, even if the target range is exceeded. The Executive Management received a 39% payout this year.
The value of the share option plan is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula. Options are granted with an exercise price which is up to 10% higher than the market price at the grant date (calculated as the average of all trades on the last trading day of the calendar year). They are awarded as unconditional allocations at the date of grant however, subject to customary clawback, and vest over a threeyear period. The options expire after five years and are exercisable after three years. As the options are granted on an annual basis at an exercise price which is up to 10% higher than the market price at the grant date, and because the exercise window is limited, they contribute to aligning Executive Management's incentive with the creation of long-term sustainable value creation.
If a member of Executive Management is given notice of termination by Coloplast and such termination is
not due to breach by the member of Executive Management, such member is entitled to compensation corresponding to a maximum of two years salary and pension contribution.
In line with the Remuneration Policy, to be able to attract qualified members to Executive Management, the Board of Directors may decide to award individual Executive Management members one-off extraordinary bonuses, sign-on bonuses or retention bonuses of up to 100% of the fixed remuneration for that member.
Remuneration of members of Executive Management amounts to DKK 35.1 million, including termination benefits DKK 85.6 million⁵⁾ (2023/24: 64.2 million) and are specified as follows:

1) The value of share options, which is calculated as the fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Formula in line with IFRS 2, comprises the value of share options awarded in the current financial year.
2) 5 May 2025, Lars Rasmussen stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chairman of the Nomination Committee, and member of the Audit Committee to assume the role of interim CEO, while remaining an ordinary member of the Board. Lars Rasmussen has not received remuneration as ordinary Board member and will at the upcoming annual general meeting 4 December 2025, step down as ordinary Board member.
3) The Board of Directors decided 5 November 2024, that the CEO and CFO were to remain as the sole registered executives. Until the decision was made Nicolai Buhl Andersen, Allan Rasmussen and Paul Marcun was registered executives and are included with one month salary for 2024/25.
4) Remuneration of members of Executive Management is included in the total staff cost in the Annual Report (see note 5). The value of share options, which is calculated as the fair value of share options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Formula in line with IFRS 2, comprises the annual accounting cost of share options awarded in the current and in prior years in accordance with the accounting policies applied. Consequently, it does not represent the fair value of share options awarded or exercised in the current financial year.
⁵⁾ 5 May 2025 Kristian Villumsen stepped down as CEO and has received a severance payment of DKK 50.5 million. Severance payments are excluded from the Executive Management table. Including severance payment the total remuneration to the Executive Management was DKK 85.6 million.
The table shows the composition of the 2024/25 remuneration of members of Executive Management by category, i.e. the fixed remuneration (base salary, pension and other benefits), variable remuneration (cash bonus) and the value of share options (based on the fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula in line with IFRS 2).
All variable salary components, including both shortterm incentives and long-term incentives, are subject to clawback provisions. This means that Coloplast can recover any variable salary components if it is established that remuneration was paid based on data which has proven to be manifestly misstated or incorrect or if it turns out that a member of Executive Management has acted grossly negligent or fraudulently.
In 2024/25, there was no legal or factual basis on which to exercise clawback or request repayment of incentives for current or former executives.

1) As Chairman of the Board of Directors, Lars Rasmussen has not received any share options. Share options are granted to the Executive Management in January, which was prior to his appointment as interim CEO on 5 May 2025.
The following tables show the changes in received remuneration and company performance. The percentage-wise development is not adjusted for promotions, changes in responsibilities, etc.

1) The FTE definition was reassessed in 2023/24 and prior years comparison figures was therefore adjusted.
2) Average salary for 2023/24 were significantly impacted by Kerecis. Due to the timing of the acquisition, only one month of salary costs was included in 2022/23. In contrast, Kerecis' salary costs were included for the full year in 2023/24, leading to a notable increase in the average salary cost when comparing 2023/24 with 2022/23. Excluding Kerecis impact, the average salary increased 2%. Average salary in 2021/22 was significantly impacted by exchange rates and to a certain extent by acquisitions, the comparable salary increase for 2021/22 is in the range of 5-6%.
In the table below, the change in remuneration is specified by individual members of the Board of Directors. The fees has remained unchanged for the past nine years. At the Annual General Meeting held on 5 December 2024, it was decided to increase the remuneration for the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, effective for the fiscal year 2024/25. The percentage development illustrates the annualised changes in remuneration for each board member, taking into account both role-specific changes and changes in responsibilities compared to the previous year.

1) The market value of the share options is calculated using the Black-Scholes formula with the volatility, risk-free interest rate, duration and official share price prevailing at 30 September 2025. The calculated market value of the share options is thus different from the intrinsic value.
2) 5 May 2025, Lars Rasmussen stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chairman of the Nomination Committee, and member of the Audit Committee to assume the role of interim CEO, while remaining an ordinary member of the Board. Lars Rasmussen has not received remuneration as ordinary Board member and will at the upcoming annual general meeting 4 December 2025, step down as ordinary Board member.
3) The Board of Directors decided 5 November 2024, that the CEO and CFO were to remain as the sole registered executives. Until the decision was made Nicolai Buhl Andersen, Allan Rasmussen and Paul Marcun was registered executives and are included with one month salary for 2024/25.
4) Number of share options held at 30 September 2025 is not disclosed for Kristian Villumsen, Paul Marcun and Nicolai Buhl Andersen as they before year end have left Coloplast. Allan Rasmussen's year end share option position is not disclosed as he is not registered executive at year end.
The table shows the number of share options held by members of the Executive Management as well as the most relevant terms and conditions for exercising these.
The potential value of the share options at the time exercise under pessimistic, expected, and optimistic scenarios depends on the share price at the time of exercise. In a pessimistic scenario the share options will have no value if the share price does not increase from the time of grant. In an optimistic scenario there is no cap to the value at exercise.

The Coloplast story begins back in 1954. Elise Sørensen is a nurse. Her sister Thora has just had an ostomy operation and is afraid to go out in public, fearing that her stoma might leak. Listening to her sister's problems, Elise conceives the idea of the world's first adhesive ostomy bag.
Based on Elise's idea, Aage Louis-Hansen, a civil engineer and plastics manufacturer, and his wife Johanne Louis-Hansen, a trained nurse, created the ostomy bag. A bag that does not leak, giving Thora – and thousands of people like her – the chance to live the life they want.
A simple solution that makes a difference.
Today, the Coloplast Group develops products and services that help millions of people live more independent lives through solutions tailored to their needs. Globally, our business areas include Ostomy Care, Continence Care, Voice & Respiratory Care, Wound & Tissue Repair, and Interventional Urology.
