Description of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration components and additional financial and non-financial benefits that may be awarded to the members of the Management Board
Fixed components of remuneration
-
- Members of the Management Board are entitled to a monthly basic salary.
-
- The amount of fixed monthly salary may differ between individual members of the Management Board due to their functions and individual arrangements made between the given member of the Management Board and the Company.
Variable components of remuneration
- Members of the Management Board may receive the variable components of remuneration in a form of an annual performance bonuses based on goals or objective results ("Annual Performance Bonus").

The Annual Performance Bonus should amount to a particular percentage or part of the maximum bonus amount, as specified in the contract with a particular member of the Management Board, depending on the level of achievement of the set targets.
The Annual Performance Bonus awarded to members of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board determines the amount of the Annual Performance Bonus based on the assessment of the performance of a particular member of the Management Board, taking account of a set of factors such as: (i) the period of performing serving on the Management Board, (ii) the quality of work and scale of contribution to the implementation of the strategy of the Company and the Group, (iii) the evaluation of actions taken in significant areas of the operations of the Company and the Group, and (iv) the recognition of social interests, Company's contribution to environmental protection and actions taken in order to prevent the negative effects of the Company's social activity and removing them.

be granted and paid only if it does not affect the stability of the Company or threaten the continuity or stability of the Company's operations.
- The return of variable components of remuneration unduly paid to a member of the Management Board is subject to the rules set out in in accordance with generally applicable laws.
Phantom Shares and other remuneration received in the form of financial instruments
- Members of the Management Board may receive also Phantom Shares or other incentive programs either based on the Company's shares or movement of prices of these shares as established in the future by the General Shareholders' Meeting or the Supervisory Board
Members of the Management Board can be motivated by the opportunity to participate in the Phantom Shares Program, under which a member of the Management Board has entitlement to the specified total number of Phantom Shares.
The Phantom Shares vesting period lasts three years and coincides with the period of legal relationship between the Company and a particular member of the Management Board. The Phantom Shares shall be vested in three tranches, in such a way that once a year, a member of the Management Board is entitled to a particular number of Phantom Shares.
The Management Board members are entitled to exercise their rights under the vested Phantom Shares within the period specified in the contract of a particular member of the Management Board. If the Management Board member ceases to perform his or her function, such member shall be entitled to exercise all vested Phantom Shares within 30 days from the cessation.
Pursuant to the Phantom Shares Program part of the remuneration for members of the Management Board may be provided by granting them payment rights based on the trading quotation of shares of the Company on the WSE.
The Phantom Shares grant to the entitled members of the Management Board a right for a cash settlement from the Company or other Group entity in the amount equal to the difference between the average closing price for the Company's shares on the WSE during the 30-day period prior to the date of delivery to the Company of the exercise notice, and settlement price ("strike price") per share (adjustable for dividend).
Phantom Shares are only a means of calculating the future variable component of remuneration, which depends on the future market price of shares of the Company on the WSE. The Phantom Shares are not financial instruments convertible or exchangeable into shares in the Company, in particular, they are not options on such shares. The Phantom Shares are not transferable.
Granting Phantom Shares to members of the Management Board and setting their condition is reviewed and approved by the Remuneration Committee and the Supervisory Board.
Besides the Phantom Shares, members of the Management Board may be also granted with other types of incentive programs which may either grant rights to acquire new or purchase existing shares of the Company or be based on movement of prices of the Company's shares, which may be adopted in the Company from time to time. Relevant provisions relating to such other incentive programs, such as vesting periods, principles of transferring such shares or rules of exercising rights to receive remuneration under such programs shall be regulated by the General Shareholders' Meeting or the Supervisory Board and further detailed in the agreement to be concluded between the Company and member of the Management Board participating in such other incentive program.
The amount of payments based on the Phantom Shares is strictly dependent on the Share price movement, and thus it is dependent on the achievement of the objectives set out in this Remuneration Policy.
The establishment of the link between the Management Board member's remuneration and the increase in the Company's Shares prices aligns his or her personal interest with the interests of shareholders. Implementation of the Company's strategy and commitment to long – term interests should have positive impact on the Share prices which in turn should translate to higher remuneration of Management Board members. In addition, it also leads to the increase in motivation of Management Board members and retaining them in the Company and as such it contributes to the stability of the Company.
Additional financial and non-financial benefits that may be awarded to members of the Management Board
-
- Members of the Management Board may receive additional benefits, such as:
- private medical care, including family members,
- compensation for compliance with the non-compete clause following the end of engagement,
- he use of company cars, company telephones and other electronic devices for private purposes and covering their costs,
-
