REMUNERATION POLICY

1. INTRODUCTION

PODRAVKA prehrambena industrija, d.d., Koprivnica is one of the largest industrial companies operating in the region of Southeast, Central and Eastern Europe. The core business activity is the production of a broad assortment of food products.

The remuneration policy is intended to attract and retain high quality experts, who will achieve the set strategic goals of the Company, through the equalisation of the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders. The activities of the members of the Management Board must be geared towards achieving those strategic goals that move the Company forward, and protect and secure its long-term sustainable value.

The total remuneration of members of the Management Board is created in such a way to ensure competitiveness and to stimulate the attraction of and interest for positions as a member of the Company Management Board among sufficiently high-quality profile experts possessing the required capabilities, skills and experience.

Accordingly, the total remuneration of members of the Management Board is in line with the tasks of the members of the Management Board of the Company: execution of strategic goals that advance and sustain the operations of the Company and its affiliate companies, and the creation of sustainable long-term values. Achievement of the short-term and long-term business plan through the achieved operating results and development of the Company and its affiliated companies is monitored and rewarded.

The Company Management Board may also confirm the principles established in this Remuneration Policy concerning variable remunerations for Company management at levels below the Management Board, with the supervision and abidance of the recommendations of the Remunerations Board and the Supervisory Board.

2. ALL FIXED AND VARIABLE REMUNERATION ELEMENTS AND THEIR RATIO IN TOTAL RENUMERATION

The fixed remunerations of the members of the Management Board consist of:

  • Fixed salary;
  • Variable incentives, and
  • Other benefits.

The remuneration policy aims to create a competitive level of compensation in all elements. To that aim, we apply the level of remuneration on the market achieved in companies of similar size, complexity and industry in which the Company operations and the region in which the Company operates.

21 Fixed earnings

The fixed earnings of members of the Management Board are made up of the basic monthly salary, expressed in gross terms, and payments made into the voluntary pension fund and other earnings.

The basic monthly salary is established as the gross monetary amount stipulated in accordance with the market conditions of comparable companies, and is aligned with the remuneration policy at levels below the Management Board. Individual amounts of the fixed salary of members of the Management Board are also reflected in their area of responsibility in the Management Board, and are expressed in absolute amounts.

The members of the Management Board are also entitled to the contracted specific monthly gross amount that the Company may pay into the volunteer pension fund of their choice, or pay-out as a salary addition, pursuant to the decision of the member of the Management Board.

Other earnings include the right of the member of the Management Board to a single salary payout per vacation day for the calendar year, the jubilee award, and a Christmas gift for children, all in the amount as stipulated in the Collective Agreement of the Podravka Group.

22. Variable incentives

The variable incentives include the Annual bonus and the Long-term share incentive programme of the Company.

Variable incentives are based on the benchmarks for pay-out as rewards for the achieved operations and sustainable development of the Company. Together with the fixed earnings, they are incentives for the Management Board to run the Company in a responsible manner, with the aim of ensuring the Company continues its sustainable and innovative development and the creation of new value.

Every business year, the Supervisory Board establishes whether the contractually defined benchmarks have been met for the pay-out of the variable part of the remuneration that is based on the Operating Plan of the Podravka Group. The Remunerations Board analyses whether these benchmarks have been met and examines the proposed decision of the Supervisory Board.

The decision on the fulfilment of benchmarks for the variable incentives and the right to the variable remuneration is made by the Company Supervisory Board pursuant to the annual audited financial report of the Podravka Group.

2.2.1. Annual bonus

The amount of the variable incentive pertaining to a salary bonus is dependent on the achievement of previously set goals for the business year, that are expressed through the contractually stipulated key performance indicators, and may amount to a maximum of 100% of the annual gross salary.

2.2.1.1. Benchmarks for the pay-out of the Annual bonus

The annual bonus is based on the achievement of set indicators in the Podravka Group Business Plan for each business year, as stipulated in the work performance contract and labour contract and the decision of the Supervisory Board, in which the set operating indicators account for 80% of the calculation of the annual bonus, and the decision of the Supervisory Board accounts for 20% of the calculation.

2.2.1.2. Manner and time of pay-out of the Annual bonus

The Company pays out the Annual bonus in money within 30 days of the date of the decision of the Supervisory Board establishing the amount of the Annual bonus. The Supervisory Board will pass this decision within 30 days of giving its consent to the annual consolidated and audited financial report of the Company and the Podravka Group for the year in question, for which the Annual bonus is paid.

SUPERVISORY BOARD

The Company will calculate and pay all legally stipulated contributions from the gross amount of the Annual bonus, and will pay out the remaining amount as the net Annual bonus.

2.2.2. Long-term share incentive programme of the Company

A part of the remuneration can be received in Company shares, under the prescribed conditions, which directly motivates the individual to achieve not only the short-term, but also the long-term goals of the Company, and to achieve the strategies of profitable growth and sustainable development of operations as defined by the Strategic Plan of the Podravka Group for the period 2021-2025. This influences the retention and growth of share prices, and increases the value of the Company for shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.

The long-term share incentive programme of the Company pertains to the duration of the contract with the members of the Management Board and depends on the fulfilment of long-term indicators of Company operations, and the discretionary decision of the Company Supervisory Board.

2.2.1. Benchmarks for awarding shares pursuant to the Long-term share incentive programme of the Company

The member of the Management Board is entitled to receive shares if their mandate has lasted for two or more years.

Long-term performance indicators account for 80% of the calculation of the number of Company shares, while the discretionary decision of the Supervisory Board of the Company accounts for 20%.

The member of the Management Board earns the right to share allocation if they have earned the right to pay-out of the Annual bonus such that they have met at least 100% of the set performance indicators.

The total number of shares that a member of the Management Board may receive for any business year is determined in the manner that the determined number of monthly salaries, as stipulated in the job performance contract and the labour contract, is multiplied by the total monthly salary expressed in the gross amount, and then divided by the Company share price, where the Company share price is calculated as the average price achieved on the Zagreb Stock Exchange for a period of 6 months preceding the decision of the Supervisory Board on the total number of shares to which a member of the Management Board is entitled.

The Company Supervisory Board will, together with the decision on the amount of the Annual bonus, also issue the decision on the total number of shares to which a member of the Management Board is entitled for the business year for which the Annual bonus is defined, together with the time period for their allocation.

2.2.2.2. Manner and time of allocation of shares pursuant to the Long-term share incentive programme of the Company

The Supervisory Board will define the timeline for the total number of Company shares to which the member of the Management Board is entitled for a given business year such that 50% of the total number of shares for the said year is issued to the member of the Management Board within 30 days of the decision of the Supervisory Board establishing the amount of the Annual bonus for the said business year.

The right of the member of the Management Board to the remaining 50% of shares will depend on the fulfilment of the long-term performance indicators, and the discretionary decision of the Supervisory Board, and such fulfilment will be determined by the Supervisory Board after three or five years from the start of the mandate of the Management Board as a whole.

2.2.3. Limitations, pay-out delays and return of the variable part of remunerations

The member of the Management Board is not required to retain the Company shares after acquiring them, though they may not dispose of them in any way until the expiry of two years from the date of allocation of individual shares.

If the member of the Management Board violates the requirement to abide by the ban on competition or the requirement of protecting business secrets, or if the mandate of the member of the Management Board ceases due to the Member's concealed conduct, they shall not be entitled to the variable remuneration which was not paid out until the date of termination of the mandate.

In the event that it is established that the financial results pursuant to which the Company shares were allocated were incorrectly reported or if any concealed conduct is revealed that requires the re-statement of the financial reports, the Company shall be entitled to demand from the member of the Management Board both the right to compensation of damages, and the return of the allocated shares within a period of two years of their allocation.

23 Other benefits

In addition to the fixed and variable remuneration, the member of the Management Board is also entitled to other benefits

This type of remuneration contributes to the more effective and streamlined operation of the Company, stimulates members of the Management Board to develop their professional skills and continue their education, and offers the opportunity for further personal growth, additional security and stability.

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, 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.
