STATEMENT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT9

i. Introduction

In line with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section § 6-16b, the Board of Directors of Frøy ASA ("Frøy" or the "Company") shall prepare a report on salaries and other remuneration to the management and Board of Directors in the Company. The guidelines apply to executive personnel in the Company as defined in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section § 6. For Frøy, this includes the management team and the board members. The management team in the Company consists of the CEO, CFO, Head of Service and sea transport, Head of Wellboats, Head of sales, Head of operational support, Director of maritime staffing and Director HR. The Group´s remuneration policy for the management team is determined by the compensation committee lead by chairman of the board Svein Sivertsen and member of the board Rune Juliussen.

During 2020 Frøy ASA was formed through a two-step business combination between Frøy Gruppen AS and Norsk Fisketransport AS, Frøy Shipping AS and NTS Management AS. The Company was listed on Oslo Stock Exchange in March 2021. Hence, the Company has not prepared historical figures beyond 2021 on remuneration and historical financial performance, as they are regarded to have limited relevance as comparative figures.

ii. Remuneration of the Executive Management

a. Remuneration principles

The main principle for determining salary for each executive management member has been a fixed annual salary with the addition of fringe benefits. The fixed salary has been determined on the basis of the following factors: competitive salary level, scope of work and responsibilities, as well as an assessment of the business and individual performance.

The management's fringe benefits mainly consist of coverage of electronic communication in accordance with standard regulations, insurances schemes and company car.

The Company intends to establish a share-based long-term incentive program in line with the guidelines approved at the extraordinary general meeting September 30 2021. This to support the Company's strategy of ensuring profitable growth. In addition, the Company wants to encourage key employees to engage in long-term value creation, rewarding good performance and committing employees to long-term persistent work, as well as aligning the employees and shareholder's interest.

CEO has a bonus agreement that consists of two parts:

    1. Short-term incentive bonus based on performance/profit.
    1. Long-term share-based incentive bonus

The short-term incentive bonus based on performance/profit KPIs is an annual agreement where the requirements are set annually. This incentive bonus also depends on non-financial KPIs and is limited to 6 monthly salaries.

The long-term share-based incentive bonus depends on the development of the stock price of Frøy ASA. The bonus is calculated on the basis of the difference between the calculation rate and base value. The CEO is obliged to use the bonus to buy shares in Frøy ASA at the time of calculation, and does not have the opportunity to sell the shares until after 12 months. Definition of base value and calculation rate is summarized below:

  • Base value: Volume weighted average stock price of the 10 first stock exchange days in 2022.
  • Calculation rate: Volume weighted average stock price calculated based on the 10 days after publication of Q4 2022.

The CEOs incentive bonus for the fiscal year 2022 is summarized below:

Amount
Short term incentive bonus (KPI)
Back-log, Turnover and Profit before tax 0,42 MNOK
Long-term share based incentive bonus Amount
Share-based incentive bonus 1,4 MNOK
