In accordance with Article 294 b of the Companies Act (ZGD-1), Krka, d. d., Novo mesto releases
In accordance with Article 294 a of the Companies Act, Krka, d. d. Novo mesto (hereinafter 'the Company' or 'Krka') has drafted the Remuneration Policy for Management and Supervisory Bodies of Krka, d. d., Novo mesto (hereinafter the 'Remuneration Policy'), which it must put to vote to its Annual General Meeting (hereinafter 'the AGM') pursuant to Article 294 a (1) of the Companies Act. The vote on the remuneration policy is an advisory vote. Pursuant to Paragraph 3, Article 294 a of the Companies Act, payments to management and supervisory body members must comply with the remuneration policy submitted to the AGM for voting. Krka put its Remuneration Policy to vote to the 29th AGM of 6 July 2023. Of total votes cast, 97.45% were in favour of adopting the document.
The Remuneration Policy is based on Krka's long-term development strategy, its sustainability policy and strategy. It encourages the Management Board to achieve Krka's strategic objectives, focusing on its long-term development and sustainable operations. The Supervisory Board of Krka participates in the adoption of the strategy. The Management and Supervisory Boards also adopt Krka's sustainability policy and strategy.
This remuneration report refers to the above document. There were no deviations in 2024 from the procedures laid down in the Remuneration Policy. The report includes a comprehensive overview of remunerations, including all bonuses rewarded by Krka to individual management and supervisory body members.
The Krka Management Board is composed of the President of the Management Board Jože Colarič; members Aleš Rotar, Vinko Zupančič, and David Bratož; and Milena Kastelic, a member – Worker Director.
Members of the Management Board receive fixed and variable remunerations as well as bonuses and fringe benefits as per their service agreements. These comply with the Remuneration Policy.
Fixed remunerations are determined in their respective contracts as multiples of the average salary of Krka employees in the last three months. The Supervisory Board determines them upon appointment of the members to the Management Board as per their individual areas of work. Multiple four (4) applies to Milena Kastelic, Management Board member – Worker Director, acting as a workers' representative, who represents employee interests in human resource and social issues. Multiple seven (7) applies to David Bratož, Management Board member responsible for corporate performance management, finance, information technology, sustainable operations and certain administrative services, and to Vinko Zupančič, Management Board member responsible for API R&D, production, and supply chain management. Multiple eight (8) applies to Aleš Rotar, Management Board member responsible for research and development of finished products, new products, quality management, and health and safety at work. Multiple ten (10) applies to Jože Colarič, President of the Management Board, in charge of marketing, sales, human resources, investments, industrial property, and certain administrative services. They receive allowances for continuity of service and years of service under the same criteria as all other employees. In 2024, the average monthly salary at Krka totalled €3,540 gross, exclusive of annual leave pay, Christmas bonus, company performance bonuses, and other bonuses awarded for good work performance. The actual gross average salary was, therefore, in fact higher.
In accordance with internal acts, Management Board members are also entitled to bonuses, compensations, and other payments to which Krka employees are entitled (years of service, continuity of service, anniversary bonuses, Christmas bonus, annual leave pay, other bonuses, compensations, and payments in accordance with internal acts).

The Supervisory Board determines variable remuneration in line with the existing Remuneration Policy based on the opinion of the relevant committee. Performance is evaluated as per Krka Group consolidated data, except when performance criteria specify otherwise.
The Supervisory Board measures the Management Board performance against financial and non-financial criteria, which encourage the Management Board to pursue the objectives set by Krka's long-term development strategy, its sustainability policy, and strategy, and therefore aim for long-term development and sustainable operations.
Financial criteria prompt Krka to launch and sell products of maximum customer value in as many markets as possible. They closely consider effective and efficient production and performance of other business functions, as well as solid working capital management and risk management.
Non-financial criteria contribute to the same objectives in the long term and to other objectives outlined in Krka's sustainability policy and sustainability strategy.
All performance criteria add to reaching Krka's primary objective, i.e. running a profitable business while maximising company value, generating profit, and acting to benefit Krka, its employees, shareholders, and the social community.
Krka sustainability policy and strategy set six aspects most important for stakeholders and Krka in the long term:
Successful work of the Management Board in the above areas contributes to achieving best possible financial criteria.
The ESG Policy of Krka is published on SEOnet of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. The summaries of Krka's activities as regards sustainable operations are also published in annual reports and on corporate websites.
Variable components of the Management Board member remunerations depend on their performance in achieving financial and non-financial criteria set out below.
Financial criteria are used to evaluate the performance of current operations and also how they were met in the past.
Non-financial criteria are applied to Management Board activities augmenting successful business performance in the future. The Supervisory Board evaluates the work of the Management Board in this regard in the context of future effects (long-term performance).
In evaluating the Management Board performance, non-financial criteria account for 35.3% of total scores, while financial criteria account for the difference.
Variable components of the Management Board member remunerations are determined annually in accordance with the Remuneration Policy. The Supervisory Board assesses Management Board performance using seven (7) financial and six (6) non-financial criteria. The former include a total of eleven (11) units and at the same time weights, and the latter six (6). One unit of the variable remuneration in the relevant six-month or one year period amounts to the average fixed monthly remuneration component of a Management Board member.

Financial criteria are as follows (the maximum number of allocated units which also represent weights, are given in brackets):
Non-financial criteria are as follows (the maximum number of allocated units which also represent weights, are given in brackets):
Until the 29th AGM of 6 July 2023, the non-financial criteria were as follows (the maximum number of assigned units which also represent weights, are given in brackets):

Assessment of performance as per non-financial criteria is based on a written report of the Management Board. Scores apply to activities yielding future results, while past achievements in this context are monitored.
The unit of payment of variable remuneration in the relevant six-month or one-year period is the average fixed monthly remuneration of the relevant Management Board member.
Financial criteria apply to performance evaluation in the current year or six months (short-term performance) and in the past ten calendar years (long-term performance). The reward evaluation of all Management Board members comprises current period performance (60%), and performance over the past ten calendar years (40%). The Supervisory Board can adopt a resolution to change the weight for long-term performance to 50%.
A different approach is applied to non-financial criteria, rewarding the impact of current activities on future results.
If justified, the Supervisory Board may increase (bonus) or decrease (malus) the number of units calculated based on financial and non-financial criteria by a maximum of three units and thus adjust the amount of variable remuneration paid. A bonus applies if the Supervisory Board assesses that Krka operations exceeded expectations in view of the business situation. A malus applies if corporate compliance or risk management rules are breached, or if the Supervisory Board assesses that Krka could have performed better considering the business situation.
The number of units of variable remunerations for the President of the Management Board and the Worker Director is additionally corrected. Variable remuneration of the President of the Management Board equals the number of units of a Management Board member times 1.2, while that of the Worker Director equals one third of the said units.
Variable remuneration is calculated and paid based on business results for the first six months (cut-off date: 30 June of the current year), when the first part of variable remuneration for the current year is calculated and paid. This part amounts up to seven (7) units for the President of the Management Board and up to six (6) units for all other Management Board members, but not exceeding 50% of variable remuneration annualised on the basis of current results. The remaining variable remunerations are deferred by twelve (12) months from the above cut-off date and determined and paid based on actual Krka Group results for the previous financial year, whereby the audited results must be comparable to unaudited results, which served as a basis for the Supervisory Board's evaluation of the Management Board's performance during the year.

Additional criteria apply to new members appointed to the Management Board for the first time after the adoption of the Remuneration Policy (see Section 10 of the Remuneration Policy). In 2024, new members were not appointed to the Management Board.
Krka has the right to request that variable remuneration or its proportional part be returned within three (3) years from the payment:
Variable remuneration refund is made first by offsetting the allocated variable remunerations which have not yet been paid.
Management Board members are entitled to bonuses and fringe benefits as follows:
Krka provides members of the Management Board with fixed assets of the Company suited for their work and covers the related expenses as well as entertainment expenses in consideration of good practices in companies of comparable sizes and management codes valid in Slovenia.
Management Board members also sit on supervisory boards of certain Krka subsidiaries, but they do not receive additional payments for these positions.
Below is the remuneration paid to Management Board members in 2024 and 2023 by type of payment. The table shows remunerations paid by Krka. In the 2020–2024 period, members of the Management Board received no remuneration from other Krka Group companies. They also had no financial benefits, receipts or services approved or provided for their activities by a third party. The difference between remuneration in this document and in the annual report arises because the cost principle applies to remuneration presented in annual reports.
No term of a Management Board member was terminated early in the reported five-year period, so no related payments ensued. Also, no payments were made to any former Management Board members.

Remuneration of Supervisory Board members was approved by Resolution 4 adopted at the 29th AGM of 6 July 2023. Before that, remuneration was paid to Supervisory Board members in accordance with Resolution 4 adopted at the 27th AGM of 8 July 2021.
Supervisory Board members receive the attendance fee of €360.00 gross per person for attending a Supervisory Board meeting (€275.00 gross until 6 July 2023). Supervisory Board members who sit on committees receive attendance fees for participating

at committee meetings totalling 80% of the attendance fees received for Supervisory Board meetings. The fees for participating in correspondence sessions amounts to 80% of the usual attendance fees. Irrespective of the above and of the number of attendances in a financial year, each member of the Supervisory Board is entitled to receive attendance fees until the total amount of attendance fees reaches 50% of the basic annual pay for exercising their function on the Supervisory Board. Irrespective of the above and of the number of Supervisory Board and committee meetings attended in a financial year, the Supervisory Board members who are members of one or more Supervisory Board committees are entitled to receive attendance fees up until the total amount of attendance fees received, based either on attending Supervisory Board meetings or Supervisory Board committee meetings, reaches 75% of the basic annual pay for exercising their function.
In addition to attendance fees, Supervisory Board members receive a basic annual pay of €21,000.00 gross per person for serving on the Board (until 6 July 2023, basic pay was €15,000 gross per annum). The President of the Supervisory Board is entitled to additional compensation amounting to 50% of the basic pay for serving on the board, and the Deputy President to an additional 10% of the basic pay for serving on the Board.
Supervisory Board committee members receive additional compensation amounting to 25% of the basic pay for serving on the Board. Presidents of committees are entitled to additional compensation totalling 37.5% of the basic pay for serving on the Supervisory Board. Every financial year, irrespective of the above and thus of the number of committees where an individual is a committee member or president, each Supervisory Board committee member is entitled to additional compensation for exercising their function up until the total amount of additional compensation reaches 50% of the basic annual pay for exercising the function of a Supervisory Board member. If the Supervisory Board member's term of office is shorter than the financial year, irrespective of the above and of the number of committees where an individual is a committee member or president, the person is entitled to additional compensation for serving on the Board up until its total amount reaches 50% of the basic annual pay for serving on the Supervisory Board, taking into account payments to which the member is entitled for the duration of their term of office in the respective financial year.
Supervisory Board members are also eligible to additional compensation for special tasks. Special tasks are unusual and highly complex, and they extend over a longer period of time, generally at least a month. With the consent of the Supervisory Board member, the Supervisory Board has the authority to assign special tasks to this member, decide on their duration and on additional compensation for preforming special tasks in accordance with the resolution of the AGM. In accordance with this AGM resolution, the Supervisory Board also has the authority to decide on additional compensation for special tasks of Supervisory Board members resulting from objective circumstances at Krka. Additional compensation for special tasks is only allowed for the time of actual task performance. The Supervisory Board can make a decision on such tasks retrospectively as an exception (especially if special tasks result from objective circumstances at Krka), but for the previous financial year at most. Members can receive additional compensation for special tasks in total amount of up to 50% of the basic pay for serving on the Supervisory Board per annum at most, regardless of the number of special tasks. Complexity of a special task and the related increase in workload and responsibility are considered when determining the additional compensation amount. Additional compensation is calculated according to the time required to actually perform the special task.
Supervisory Board members receive basic pay and additional compensation for serving on the Board, and are entitled to additional compensation for special tasks in proportionate monthly payments for the duration of their service or special task performance. The monthly payment amounts to one twelfth of the above annual amounts. Depending on circumstances, additional compensation for special tasks can also be paid as a lump sum when the special task is completed.
Limitations for total amounts of attendance fees and additional compensation paid to Supervisory Board members do not affect, in any way or form, their obligation to actively participate in all Supervisory Board meetings and meetings of the committees they are members of, and their legal liability.
The Supervisory Board members are entitled to reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses incurred in connection with their work on the Supervisory Board up to the amount specified in the rules regulating the reimbursement of work-related expenses and other income not included in the tax base (provisions applicable to business travel and overnight accommodation on business trips). The amount that a Supervisory Board member is entitled to in accordance with the above rule has to be

grossed-up so that the net payout equals actual travel expenses incurred. Mileage is determined based on distances between places calculated on the website of AMZS (Slovene national automobile association). Accommodation expenses can only be reimbursed if the permanent or the temporary residence of a Supervisory Board member or a Supervisory Board committee member and their places of work are at least 100 kilometres apart, and returning to the member's place of residence was not possible because public transport was unavailable or due to other objective reasons.
Below we disclose remunerations paid to Supervisory Board members in 2024 and 2023. The table shows remunerations paid by Krka. In the 2020–2024 period, members of the Supervisory Board received no remuneration from other Krka Group companies. They were also provided no financial benefits, receipts or services approved or provided by a third party with regard to their activities.
