Enento Group Plc Remuneration Report 2022

This Remuneration Report sets out how Enento Group Plc ("Enento", "Company") has implemented its Remuneration Policy in 2022. This report includes information concerning remuneration of the Board of Directors ("Board") and the CEO of Enento between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022.

The Report has been reviewed and approved by Enento's Board of Directors. The shareholders will make an advisory decision on the approval of the Remuneration Report at the Company's Annual General Meeting 2023.

Overview of Remuneration in 2022

Remuneration of the Enento governing bodies is based on the Remuneration Policy that was presented for an advisory decision at the Annual General Meeting held on 12 June 2020. The policy will be applied until it is reviewed next time in the Annual General Meeting: The next review will occur in Annual General Meeting 2024, unless the Board decides to bring the Remuneration Policy for an advisory decision at an earlier General Meeting.

The decision-making process on remuneration, as defined in the Remuneration Policy, has been followed in the remuneration decision-making in 2022. No temporary deviations from Remuneration Policy were applied in 2022. Furthermore, the Board did not observe any circumstances or activities that would have resulted in a need to apply clawback to the CEO's variable remuneration in 2022. In its decision-making, the Board has also considered the results of the advisory votes for the Remuneration Report 2021: 81,11% of votes cast were supportive.

In line with the Remuneration Policy, remuneration in 2022 has supported our long-term Nordic growth and shareholder value creation. A significant portion of the CEO's total remuneration opportunity has been performance-based to focus on achieving the targets set by the Board, at the same time balancing to avoid excessive risk-taking. To encourage share ownership in Enento, shareholding guidelines for the CEO have been in place to further align long-term shareholder interests with the CEO's and other top executives' interests.

Enento Group Plc's Board of Directors appointed Jeanette Jäger as CEO from 1 January 2022.

In 2022, we had a short-term incentive plan (STI) 2022 and one long-term incentive plan (Performance Share Plan 2022-2024) in place for the CEO. The outcome of the STI 2022 criteria was close to the set target level, which reflects the fulfilment of our growth expectations in the middle of continued exceptional circumstances. The rewards for the STI 2022 will be paid in March 2023. Potential reward of Performance Share Plan 2022-2024 will be paid in early 2025. Application of performance criteria is described in more detail in section "Remuneration of the CEO".

Paid remuneration to the CEO in total in 2022, including fixed salary and additional pension contribution was 461 000€. In addition, former CEO was paid 99 000 € performance-based incentives based on 2021 performance.

Remuneration of the CEO

Application of Performance Criteria in 2022

In 2022, the CEO was offered two new performance-based incentive plans: short-term incentive (STI) 2022 and a share-based long-term incentive plan, Performance Share Plan (PSP) 2022-2024. In line with the Remuneration Policy, the reward opportunity was balanced to focus on both long-term value creation and efficient achievement of short-term goals. The STI and LTI performance criteria for 2022 and maximum earning opportunities were set by the Board in December 2021 and early 2022.

For STI 2022, Net sales (weight 30%) and Adjusted EBITDA (weight 40%) development were selected as performance criteria together with a discretionary component (weight 30%) based on Board's assessment of CEO's performance on strategic and/or organizational objectives, and the maximum earning opportunity for the CEO was set at 100% of annual fixed salary.

STI / Performance criteria Adjusted
EBITDA
Net sales Personal targets Total
CEO 40 % 30 % 30 % 100 %

The earning criteria for the performance period of PSP 2022-2024 were the three-year development of the Enento Group's Adjusted EBITDA (weight 50 %), and the Group's two-year Total Shareholder Return (TSR) (weight 50 %).

CEO 50 % 50 % 100 %

Outcome for the CEO

The total outcome from the STI was 34% of the maximum and it will be paid in 2023.

The CEO joined the Company 1 January 2022 and thus did not participate in PSP 2020-2022 or PSP 2021-2023. The potential reward for PSP 2022-2024 will be paid in 2025.

Share-Based Incentives

Enento's long-term remuneration consists of Performance Share Plans ("PSP"), which offer the Group's management an opportunity to receive Enento shares as long-term incentives for achieving performance targets set by the Board. The purpose of the PSPs is to encourage the executives and the selected key employees to work on a long-term basis to achieve strategic goals, increase shareholder value and to retain the selected persons in the company.

The Board decides annually on commencement, conditions and performance criteria of new plans. The maximum reward potential for a Performance Share Plan is expressed as a number of shares and defined annually by the Board at the beginning of each plan period. The total vesting time for each plan is minimum 3 years, and the share delivery is conditional upon continued employment until the moment of transferring the shares, or a good leaver ground. The possible reward is paid as a combination of shares and cash. The cash component is intended to cover the taxes and tax-related costs related to the reward.

Shares received by the CEO under the PSP are subject to shareholding requirement that is determined by the Board. Until the required shareholding level is achieved, the CEO is required to hold, and not to sell, all the shares received as a reward.
