4.1. Management Board
Members of the Management Board may receive remuneration on the basis of the Legal Basis of Employment. The Supervisory Board determines the Legal Basis for Employment, as well as the rules for the fixed and variable parts of the remuneration of each member of the Management Board, individually and in accordance with the Remuneration Policy. This can be done through the Legal Basis for Employment or by a separate resolution, taking into consideration the responsibilities of each member of the Management Board. Irrespective of the nature of the employment relationship between the Company and a member of the Management Board, the latter may receive a cash-based remuneration, which consists of a fixed portion and a variable portion. Upon appointing a member of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board establishes the fundamental components of their remuneration, such as the Fixed Remuneration and Variable Remuneration amounts, as well as the conditions for linking the Variable Remuneration to either financial or non-financial performance.
Fixed Remuneration
The Supervisory Board establishes the individual amount of Fixed Remuneration for each member of the Management Board either in the Legal Basis of Employment or through a separate resolution.
Variable Remuneration
Members of the Management Board members may receive Variable Remuneration, which is contingent upon meeting specific financial or non-financial performance criteria, in addition to the Fixed Remuneration. Variable Remuneration for 2022 was tied to the level of EBITDA earned by Grupa Pracuj.
Variable Remuneration may include, but is not limited to, the right to:
- a) take up subscription warrants that include the right to acquire Company shares, or acquire Company shares under a multi-year incentive scheme authorised by a separate resolution of the General Meeting, or
- b) participate in a performance-based incentive scheme that provides for the payment of cash remuneration directly linked to the financial performance of the Company, its Group, or the specific segment for which the Management Board member is responsible.
Moreover, Variable Remuneration may also be awarded in the form of a bonus for completing a specific task, achieving certain financial targets, or meeting a management objective.
In certain exceptional cases, a Board member may be granted an additional one-time cash award as part of their Variable Remuneration, based on their outstanding performance or contribution to the Company.
In setting the criterion for Variable Remuneration, the Supervisory Board determines comprehensive and differentiated criteria with respect to financial and non-financial performance, placing particular emphasis on the achievement of established goals.
The 2022 performance target set by the Supervisory Board for the Management Board members, pertaining to the consolidated operating profit of Grupa Pracuj S.A. Group, has been met, resulting in the forthcoming payment of bonuses to the Management Board members in 2023, subject to the adoption of a relevant resolution by the Supervisory Board.
The criteria for the award of Variable Remuneration, both financial and non-financial, are specified by the Supervisory Board in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, in its resolution establishing the conditions for granting such remuneration.
Additional Benefits
Members of the Management Board may receive Additional Benefits in both cash and non-cash form, which include:
- a) the right to use a company car;
- b) fitness membership cards, medical care, and access to a cafeteria system,
- c) additional insurance coverage, which may also extend to their family members.
- d) the right to participate in the Company's pension plans on general terms;
- e) the right to receive benefits from the company's social benefits fund.

5. Compliance of the directors' compensation with the Remuneration Policy and its contribution to long-term performance objectives of the Company
This Report presents a summary of salaries and all other benefits received by members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, paid to them in 2022.
The Company has adhered to the Remuneration Policy since its adoption and paid executive compensation to the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board in accordance with the policy's provisions. The compensation provided was comprehensive, including only the components specified in the Remuneration Policy. It was disbursed in compliance with the policy's principles, at the correct amount, and based on predetermined criteria. The compensation was paid based on the Legal Basis of Employment. The Remuneration Policy incorporates criteria that aim to balance the incentives for individual members of the Management Board with the accomplishment of objectives and strategies, with a specific focus on the Company's interests.
Variable remuneration components based on predetermined criteria, including participation in long-term incentive schemes and performance measured over annual periods, aim to motivate management and align their interests with those of the Company over the long term. This approach ensures stability in leadership, as it attracts and retains executives with the necessary experience and expertise to drive the Company's continued growth and success. Additionally, transparent remuneration principles enhance the Company's reputation among shareholders and potential investors, while also contributing to the growth in the value of the Company shares, and having a favourable impact on the Company's reputation.
6. Application of the performance criteria
The Remuneration Policy mandates that members of the Management Board are paid Fixed Remuneration for their position and work based on the scope of their responsibilities, and the remuneration is not linked to any criteria related to their performance or assessment.
Performance criteria are determined for variable components of compensation for members of the Management Board. Such criteria were also used before the Remuneration Policy came into effect and were based on the achievement of a certain consolidated financial result by the Grupa Pracuj Group.
The criteria and rules for payment of Variable Remuneration are determined each time by resolution of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board sets the performance target for the upcoming financial year when a member of the Management Board becomes eligible for Variable Remuneration.
When determining the conditions for granting Variable Remuneration, the Supervisory Board sets clear, comprehensive, and differentiated financial and non-financial criteria that include social interests, the Company's contribution to environmental protection, and measures aimed at preventing and eliminating the negative social effects of the Company's activities.
The maximum ratio of Variable Remuneration awarded in a given financial year to Fixed Remuneration due for the same financial year should not exceed 5:1. The proportion of Variable Remuneration may be increased if Management Board members are granted or exercise entitlements to acquire subscription warrants that allow them to acquire Company shares, or if they are granted entitlements to acquire Company shares under a multi-year incentive scheme introduced by a separate resolution of the General Meeting. Additionally, the proportion may be increased if they are entitled to participate in an incentive scheme that allows for the payment of cash remuneration directly linked to the financial results of the Company, the Group, or the segment for which the Management Board member is responsible. In such a case, the proportion of Fixed Remuneration and Variable Remuneration for a financial year will be adjusted to reflect the Company's or Grupa Pracuj Group's financial results, the attainment of market, performance, or loyalty objectives, as well as the increase in the value of the Company shares as instruments listed on the WSE, during the period.
