Remuneration Report

Pexip Holding ASA 2024

Background

Under Section 6-16 b of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, Pexip Holding ASA ("Pexip" or "The Company") is required to present an annual report that provides an overview of the remuneration to the Board of Directors and Senior Executives covered by the guidelines defined in Section 6-16 a. This report meets the requirements set out in the Regulations on guidelines for and reporting of remuneration of executive personnel, and it also meets the requirements of notes to the annual accounts in Section 7-31b and 7-32 of the Norwegian Accounting Act.

Purpose

The Company's Remuneration Policy adopted at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May 2021, and last updated and approved at the AGM in April 2024 provides the framework for the remuneration of the Board of Directors (the Board) in 2024. This describes in more detail our corporate governance process in relation to the Remuneration Policy. The policy is available on Pexip.com, in the Corporate Governance section.

The Remuneration Policy has been introduced to comply with the regulatory framework. The Policy is a continuation of the previous remuneration principles to ensure that:

  • The policy is formulated in a clear and understandable way and contributes to the Company's business strategy, long-term interests, and economic viability.
  • The policy contains comprehensible, exhaustive, and complete criteria for receiving variable remuneration in the form of bonuses, remuneration, services, etc.
  • The remuneration policy explains how the pay and employment conditions of employees of the Company were considered when establishing the remuneration policy.
  • The remuneration report will be reported on an annual basis to comply with these guidelines.
  • The policy contains comprehensible, exhaustive, and complete criteria for receiving variable remuneration.
  • Remuneration is compared regularly to benchmarks of general industry companies and European Software as a service company.

Overall Company Performance

In 2024 Pexip continued to deliver strong results improving both growth rates and margins. In terms of growth, the Company closed at 10% ARR growth which was the very high end of the guiding range for the year. In terms of EBITDA, the Company converted 74% of incremental revenue growth to EBITDA and improved EBITDA margins with 7 p.p., with a high conversion from EBITDA to free cash flow.

At the end of 2023, the Company stated an ambition to deliver 5-10% ARR growth and 13-17% Adjusted EBITDA margin in 2024. The end result was at the very high end of the range for both components. The company maintains its now near-term targets of +10% ARR growth and +20% EBITDA margin. In addition, it introduced a long-term ambition of achieving Rule of 40 performance across ARR growth and EBITDA margins.

Key Developments in Board Remuneration

At the AGM on April 12, 2024, there were no changes made to the board. Both the Chair of the board and the board members were re-elected to represent the interests of the shareholders in the best possible manner. The number of board members was kept at the same level with a total of five members.

Pexip's nomination committee performs an annual review of the remuneration to the board. The base remuneration for the Chair of the board and the Board members has been unchanged in the period, approved on the AGM on April 12, 2024. The remuneration for the Audit Committee was decided at the AGM in April 2024.

The remuneration of the Chair of the Board amounted to NOK 600 000 for his role as the Chair of the Board for the calendar year 2024.

The remuneration for the Board and the Board Committees was approved by the AGM in April 2024.

Key Developments in Executive Management Remuneration

At the end of 2020, the Board sought external expert advice on benchmarking the remuneration of the Senior Executives in the Company, and to give advice on the design on a long-term compensation model both for Senior Executives and other employees. This exercise benchmarked the remuneration to relevant peers, laying the foundation for the adjustments made in January 2021. It also led to changes in the long-term incentive model considering that Pexip is a listed company and the industry it operates in, which are reflected in Pexip's Remuneration Policy. The initial LTI grant was implemented in May 2022, with an additional grant of LTIs in August 2023. No LTIs were granted in 2024. An additional grant of LTI's was done in February 2025.

For Senior Executives excluding the CEO, fixed remuneration increased 6% to NOK 10.96 million (NOK 10.33 million), while total variable remuneration increased 56% to NOK 10.28 million (NOK 6.60 million).

For the CEO, his fixed remuneration was NOK 4.7 million, and his variable remuneration was NOK 5.6 million. For the period he served in 2023, his fixed remuneration was NOK 4.0 million, and his variable remuneration was NOK 3.5 million.

Feedback from shareholders

The AGM approved the remuneration guidelines for senior executives, as well as the remuneration to the Board without significant input or comments. The remuneration of the Board is based on the Remuneration Policy adopted by the AGM. The policy is available on Pexip.com, in the Corporate Governance section.

Remuneration of the Executive Management Team

Policy

The remuneration of the Executive management team is based on the Remuneration Policy adopted by the AGM. The policy is available on Pexip.com, in the Corporate Governance section.

The executive management remuneration did not deviate from the Remuneration Guidelines.

Remuneration composition

Remuneration for executives comprises a base salary, a pension contribution, a variable short-term incentive, variable long-term incentives, and other benefits. In addition, the Company has a Directors liability insurance policy with a reputable insurer.

Table 6 - Remuneration composition

Remuneration Executive Management
Fixed salary Yes
Short-term incentives Yes
Long-term Share based incentives Yes
Pension Yes
Expenses Yes
Other benefits Yes
Severance pay -
Short-term incentives based on share value -

Fixed salary

The fixed salary shall be the main element in the cash-based remuneration and is decided based on the nature of the position, as well as the qualifications and experience of the executive holding it. The fixed salary is assessed annually, both benchmarking the compensation to similar roles in peer companies as well as overall wage growth.

Short-term incentives

The Company firmly believes that performance-based variable cash salaries for the Senior Executives have a motivational effect and that their implementation is beneficial for the Company and its shareholders to reach the Company's business strategy, long-term interests, and sustainable business practices.

Roles that have the highest direct impact on the Company's short-term performance, such as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Revenue Officer, have a higher share of short-term incentives to their overall compensation than the other Senior Executive roles. For the CEO, the on-target short-term variable performance-based salary is 55% of base salary and 37-54% for other executives.

The variable cash salaries are aligned with long-term targets. For 2024, Pexip had defined a set of long-term targets on Annual Recurring Revenue and Operating Expenses, which form the basis for the annual business plan and forms the basis of the variable performance-based salary for Senior Executives as follows:

  • Annual Recurring Revenue, where achieving 90% of target at the end of the year yields 0% and achieving 100% of the annual target yields 100% achievement.
  • Development in EBITDA adjusted for other gains and losses and capitalized own R&D, where 60% of target yields 0% achievement and 100% of plan yields 100% achievement.

For both elements, under- and over-performance were rewarded on a linear scale. The plan was capped upwards at 200% of the plan for each element. The Board can adjust targets during the year as well as introduce additional KPIs should it deem it necessary due to changes in market conditions or company performance.

The Company may demand variable cash salary refunded to the same extent it may demand fixed cash salary refunded following the expiry of the employment, typically in the event of erroneous payments or breach of contractual obligations.

Long-term share-based incentives

The purpose of the long-term share-based incentives (SBI) is to support the alignment between the executive management and shareholder interest and ensure the retention of key talent in Pexip.

The SBI has two parts:

  • Part one of the SBI provides a cash amount to eligible executives, who must invest the net amount after tax in Pexip shares within one month after the grant and retain the shares for a minimum of 3 years. After the lock-up, executives are free to keep or sell the shares at their discretion. The conditions for the cash amount are equal to the variable performance-based salary.
  • Part two of the SBI is based on share options. The share options will have a strike equal to the volumeweighted average of the past seven days before the award.

A share option SBI was granted in May 2022 with vesting in December 2024. A further share option SBI was granted in August 2023 with vesting of one third in December 2024, December 2025 and December 2026.

Pension

Pexip has a pension scheme according to local standards for all employees, also covering the Executive Management Team. Pexip has a pension contribution of 5% of base salary between NOK 0 and NOK 1,488,336 in Norway which is the location of Pexip's HQ.

Expenses:

In 2024 executive management received reimbursement for reasonable documented expenses related to travel, business expenses, broadband and electronic communication.

Other benefits

In 2024 executive management received other benefits like life and accident insurance, phone etc in line with the remuneration policy.
