INCAP CORPORATION'S REMUNERATION REPORT 2020
INTRODUCTION
Incap Corporation’s Annual General Meeting held on April 20, 2020 discussed the remuneration policy regarding the company’s administrative bodies. The policy defines the principles for the remuneration of Incap’s governing bodies, i.e. the Board of Directors and President & CEO. There were no any deviations from the remuneration policy.
The objective of the remuneration of Incap is to promote the long-term financial success and competitiveness of the company and the favourable development of the shareholder value. Remuneration is based on predetermined and measurable performance and result criteria.
The Annual General Meeting decides on the remuneration payable to the Board as well as on the basis for its determination. The remuneration for the Board of Directors can be paid, either fully or in part, in the form of company shares. Remuneration of a non-executive director is arranged separately from the share-based remuneration scheme applicable to the company’s President and CEO, other members of the Management Team or personnel.
Incap’s remuneration reporting consists of the Remuneration Policy presented to the Annual General Meeting at least once every four years and, as of 2020, the Remuneration Report, presented each year and prepared in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code of 1 January 2020. The Remuneration Report provides information on the fees paid to the Company’s governing bodies during the financial period.
The Company’s objective is transparency in remuneration as well as fair and encouraging remuneration at all organisational levels. Remuneration also plays a key role in ensuring competitive recruitment and commitment for the Company.
The Board of Directors decides on the remuneration principles relating to the President and CEO and the other members of the Management Team.

In May 2020, Incap's Board of Directors resolved to implement a long-term share-based incentive scheme for the company's President and CEO, Otto Pukk. The purpose of the incentive scheme is to support Incap's strategy and incentivise the President and CEO in effective implementation of the post-acquisition integration of AWS Electronics Group. The company has not previously had a share-based incentive scheme for the President and CEO Otto Pukk. Any reward payable on the basis of this incentive scheme is paid out as Incap's new shares.
The earnings period for the President and CEO's incentive scheme included the then ongoing and next financial period of the company that ends on 31 December 2021. During the earnings period, the President and CEO may earn a performance-based reward amounting up to a maximum of 5,730 new shares of the company based on the development of the company's EBIT provided that the President and CEO is still in employment with the company at the date of the payment of the reward. A reward based on the incentive scheme shall be paid after the company's 2022 Annual General Meeting has approved the company's annual accounts for the financial year 1 January 2021–31 December 2021. The shares paid as reward shall not be transferred before the end of a 12-month lock-up period, which begins from the reward payment.
As part of the execution of the incentive scheme, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on 20 April 2020 to the company's Board of Directors on issuance of shares, the company's Board of Directors resolved on the directed share issue to the President and CEO. The shares are issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the incentive scheme.
If the company decides after the beginning of the performance period and before payment of the reward on issue of company's shares or on issue option rights or other special rights entitled to company's shares so that the shareholders have a pre-emptive subscription right, the amount of the reward shall be increased by multiplying the number of earned shares by the share issue multiplier, or in a way resolved by the Board of Directors.
