Remuneration Report 2023

Introduction

The remuneration report of Componenta Corporation ("Componenta" or "the company") has been prepared in accordance with the 2020 Corporate Governance Code published by the Securities Markets Association. The report explains the remuneration paid and due to the Board of Directors and the President and CEO for the 2023 financial year.

The remuneration report is published at the same time as the financial statements, the Board of Directors' report and the Corporate Governance Statement, and will be presented to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting following its publication.

The remuneration of the members of Componenta's Board of Directors and President and CEO is based on the company's current remuneration policy, which was approved by Componenta's Annual General Meeting on 16 April 2020. The remuneration policy will be valid until the Annual General Meeting of 2024.

The 2023 Annual General Meeting did not find any issues with the remuneration report.

Componenta's key remuneration principles are remuneration based on performance and the overall remuneration of personnel. Componenta seeks to motivate, attract and retain skilled persons with remuneration. The purpose of remuneration is to contribute to the favourable development of shareholder value, to develop the company's performance and to help the company in fulfilling

its business strategy and attaining long-term financial benefits. Remuneration is one of the most important ways to ensure that the company's employees understand the performance targets, their own opportunities to influence the results and the causal connection between the result of operations and remuneration. Componenta aims to keep its remuneration principles and practices comprehensible and transparent.

In accordance with Componenta's values and management principles, all decisions regarding remuneration are based solely on the competence and achievements of each employee.

Remuneration and performance development of the company over the last five years

Net sales and EBITDA continued to grow in the first half of the year in a very challenging operating environment, thanks to higher delivery volumes and the implementation of our own development measures as planned. However, in the second half of the year, production volumes were lower than expected because the main customers' own order books developed modestly as a result of market uncertainties, and because stock levels were optimised as part of working capital management. This caused the factories' utilisation rates to decrease, which had a negative impact on production process efficiency, ability to create high quality and profitability.

Remuneration of the President and CEO in 2023

The remuneration of the President and CEO was consistent with the remuneration policy during 2023.

Short-term incentive schemes

The purpose of a short-term incentive scheme is to support the achievement of the set targets and to promote commitment by setting unambiguous and measurable annual targets that have a direct impact on the company's result. Componenta's Board of Directors annually sets the terms and objectives of any short-term incentive schemes for the whole Group. Under the remuneration policy, any remuneration paid as part of a short-term incentive scheme may amount to up to half of the President and CEO's fixed annual salary. The Board of Directors may adjust the criteria for short-term incentives at its discretion.

The President and CEO is entitled to a short-term incentive bonus related to the achievement of financial targets. In 2023, no bonus was paid to the CEO under the short-term incentive scheme for 2022, as the targets set for the Group's EBITDA were not met despite a favourable development. No bonus will be paid to the CEO under the short-term incentive scheme for 2023, as the Group's cash flow after investments in 2023 did not meet the minimum target set in the terms of the incentive scheme.

Long-term incentive schemes

The purpose of any long-term incentive schemes is to provide an incentive to key employees and to align their fringe benefits with the shareholders' benefits and the long-term strategy aimed at the sustainability of business operations. Long-term incentives may consist of both performance-based remuneration schemes and restricted share plans.

Based on the remuneration policy, the Board of Directors decides on any long-term incentive schemes, such as share-based remuneration schemes, and determines the earning criteria for performance-based schemes at the beginning of each scheme. The fair value of the potential bonus paid under a long-term incentive scheme can be no more than 30% of the CEO's fixed annual salary. The fair value is always calculated by using a method relevant for the incentive scheme at the beginning of the earning period. The Board of Directors decides on the bonuses paid under the scheme, and it may also change the criteria for any longterm incentives.

The current President and CEO is entitled to the stock option plan for the Group's key employees, introduced by a Board decision on 12 November 2018. As a result of the pre-emptive subscription right share issue and the merging of shares in 2020, the number, subscription ratio and subscription prices of option rights in 2018 have been revised to ensure equal treatment of shareholders and employees covered by remuneration schemes. In 2021, the Board of Directors decided to convert 2018A and 2018B option rights returned to the company into 2018C option rights. In 2023, the Board of Directors decided on a new 2023A stock option plan. The subscription period for the 2018A stock option plan began in December 2021 and ended at the end of November 2023. The subscription period for the 2018B stock option plan began in December 2022 and ends at the end of November 2024. The subscription period for the 2018C stock option plan began in December 2023 and ends at the end of November 2025. The subscription period for the 2023A stock option plan begins in June 2026 and ends in the end of May 2028. No subscription rights under any stock option plan had been exercised by the balance sheet date.

Stock Option Plan

Stock option plans are used to encourage key employees to commit to long-term employment at the company in order to increase shareholder value. Option rights are also intended to commit key personnel to the company. It is a prerequisite for receiving remuneration based on an option programme that the participant's contract of employment or service is valid at the time the remuneration is paid, but the Board of Directors may decide otherwise at its discretion.

Componenta's stock option plans had a total of 246,108 option rights held by employees or the company on 31 December 2023, of which 36,298 are marked as option 2018B, 76,462 are marked as option 2018C, and 133,348 are marked as option 2023A. Options 2018B and 2018C entitle the rightholder to a subscription for two new shares or shares held by the company, and option 2023A entitles the rightholder to a subscription for one new share or share held by the company. The subscription price of the shares is EUR 3.85 per share with option

2018B, EUR 3.03 per share with option 2018C, and EUR 3.00 per share with option 2023A.

The subscription period is 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2024 for option 2018B, 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2025 for option 2018C, and 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028 for option 2023A.
