REMUNERATION POLICY

INTRODUCTION 1

PODRAVKA prehrambena industrija d.d., Koprivnica is one of the leading companies in the industry in which it operates in Southeast. Central and Eastern Europe.

The main business activity is the production of a wide range of food products.

The remuneration policy is intended to attract and retain quality experts who will achieve the set strategic goals of the Company through balancing the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders. The activities of the members of the Management Board must be aimed at achieving those strategic goals which improve the Company and protect and ensure its long-term sustainable value.

The total remuneration of the members of the Management Board is designed in a way that ensures competitiveness and encourages interest in the position of a member of the Company's Management Board of an appropriate high-quality profile of experts with the required abilities, skills and experience.

Accordingly, the total remuneration of members of the Management Board is related to the work of members of the Management Board in the Company: the implementation of strategic goals that improve and maintain the operations of the Company and its related companies and the creation of sustainable long-term value. The achievements of the short-term and long-term business plan are monitored and rewarded through the achieved business results and the development of the Company and its related companies.

The Management Board of the Company may establish the principles and grounds set out in this Remuneration Policy with respect to variable remuneration also for the Company's management below the Management Board level, with the supervision and compliance with the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee and the Supervisory Board.

2. ALL FIXED AND VARIABLE PARTS OF REMUNERATION AND THEIR SHARES IN TOTAL REMUNERATION

Remuneration of members of the Management Board consists of:

  • fixed remuneration;
  • variable remuneration:
  • other receipts and benefits.

The remuneration policy seeks to enable a competitive level of remuneration in all elements. For this purpose, the amount of remuneration on the market realized by companies of similar size, complexity and industry in which the Company operates and the region in which the Company operates is used.

2.1. Fixed remuneration

paid in full, total number of shares issued: 7,120,003, nominal share value: HRK 220.00, President of the Supervisory Board: Z. Vukina, President of the Management Board: M. Dalić, members of the Management Board: D. Doko, H. Kolarić, Lj. Šapina, M. Đerek

SUPERVISORY BOARD

The fixed remuneration of members of the Management Board consists of the base monthly salary expressed in gross amount.

The base monthly salary is determined in the gross cash amount, determined in line with the market conditions of comparable companies and harmonized with the remuneration policy for the levels below the Management Board. The individual amounts of the fixed salary of the members of the Management Board also reflect the area of their competence in the Management Board and are determined in absolute amount.

2.2. Variable remuneration

Variable remuneration represents bonus salaries and the right to purchase a certain number of the Company's shares.

Variable remuneration is conditioned by the criteria for payment in a way that rewards operations by which the sustainable development of the Company is achieved. Together with fixed remuneration, it encourages the Management Board to conduct the Company's operations in a responsible manner, with the aim that the Company continues to develop in a sustainable and innovative manner and create new value.

The amount of variable remuneration related to bonus salaries depends on the achievement of predefined goals in the business year, expressed by certain key performance indicators, and determined by the Supervisory Board; it amounts to a maximum of 100% of the annual gross salary.

The part of remuneration that can be realized by granting the option to purchase the Company's shares under the prescribed conditions directly encourages motivation to achieve not only short-term but also long-term goals of the Company, and to achieve the strategy of profitable growth and sustainable business development, as it affects the stability and growth of the share price, i.e. the value of the Company for shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.

The right to the share option means that a member of the Management Board has the right to purchase a certain number of shares from the Company at a price determined as the price equal to the weighted average price of the Company's shares on the Zagreb Stock Exchange in the year to which the option relates (exercise price).

2.2.1. Criteria for payment

At the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board defines the standards and criteria for each business year based on the Business Plan, the realization of which gives the right to the payment of a variable part of the salary. These criteria must be derived from the annual business and development plan and support its achievement. For each business year, the Supervisory Board determines whether the criteria for the payment of the variable part of the salary have been met. The Supervisory Board entrusts the analysis of whether these criteria have been met and the preparation of the draft decision to the Remuneration Committee

The number of options for purchasing shares of the Company to which a member of the Management Board is entitled is determined by a decision of the Supervisory Board, where the exact number may depend on performance criteria in achieving business goals.

2.2.2. Manner and time of payment

The decision on fulfilling the criteria for payment of variable remuneration and exercising the right to variable remuneration is made by the Supervisory Board of the Company on the basis of the annual audited financial statements of the Podravka Group.

Our Responsibilities

We conducted our assurance engagement in accordance with the requirements of Article 272r, paragraph 3 of the Companies Act, and in accordance with International standard on assurance engagements (ISAE) 3000 (revised) - Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information. These regulations require that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our assurance engagement to form a conclusion based on the evidence gathered as to whether the report contains the information required in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.

We apply International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC 1), and accordingly, we maintain a robust system of quality control, including policies and procedures documenting compliance with relevant ethical and professional standards and requirements in law or regulation.

We comply with the independence and other ethical requirements of the IESBA Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, which establishes the fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

The nature and extent of our procedures were determined based on our risk assessment and our professional judgment in order to obtain limited assurance.

In respect of the subject matter, we have performed the following procedures:

  • inquired members of the Management board and Supervisory board and other persons within the Company, to gain understanding of remuneration policies and the process applied in preparing the Remuneration Report:
  • received from the Company a list of all members of the Company's Management board and Supervisory board during 2020 and checked whether their remunerations are disclosed in the Remuneration Report:
  • reconciled the remuneration data presented in the Remuneration Report with the Company's accounting records (general ledger and subledgers) for the year ended 31 December 2020
  • reviewed, on a sample basis, the relevant documentation of the Company (contracts and payments) related to the remuneration data presented in the Remuneration Report; and
  • checked whether the Remuneration Report contains all the data required by the provisions of Article 272r, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Companies Act.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited conclusion.

Limited assurance conclusion

Based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that Remuneration Report for the year ended 2020 prepared by Podravka d.d. does not contain data, in all material respects, in accordance with the Article 272r, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Companies Act.

In the case of additional information or data provided to us, or in the case of misleading oral or written statements or explanations, our findings, interpretations or conclusions in our independent limited assurance report may be incomplete or may result in the need for additional procedures not included in the scope of this engagement.
