SalMar - 2014 share-based incentive scheme for senior executives and key personnel
In accordance with the authorisation granted by the AGM on 4 June 2014, the
board of directors of SalMar ASA has decided to establish a share-based
incentive scheme (Restricted Share Unit Plan) for senior executives and key
personnel employed by the company and its subsidiaries. The scheme encompasses
up to 351,336 shares and has a duration of three years. The company's liability
with respect to the scheme will be met through existing holdings of treasury
shares. As of 3 December 2014, SalMar ASA holds 1 300 000 treasury shares.
The purpose of the share-based incentive scheme (RSUP) is to encourage employees
to maintain a deep, long-term engagement in the company, through a further
alignment of the employees' interests with those of other shareholders. Under
the RSUP, participating individuals will be awarded shares to motivate them to
contribute to the continued success and profitability of the company, as well as
deliver outstanding results. The RSUP will also enhance SalMar's ability to
attract and retain staff.
Under the RSUP, participants will receive, free of charge, Restricted Share
Units (RSUs), which, if certain predefined performance criteria are met within
an accrual period, will be released and transferred to them as shares. The RSUP
comprises three accrual periods of one, two and three calendar years
respectively, with 2014 being the first year. Each accrual period encompasses
1/3 of the total number of RSUs included in the scheme. One RSU gives a
contingent entitlement to one share. The following criteria determine the award
of RSUs during each of the three accrual periods:
- Award of 1/3 of the RSUs is independent of any performance criteria.
- Award of 1/3 of the RSUs depends on SalMar achieving a certain EBIT/kg more
than other aquaculture companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange during the
accrual period
- Award of 1/3 of the RSUs depends on SalMar's shares achieving a higher total
shareholder return (TSR) than a defined group of comparable companies during the
accrual period.
Accrual of RSUs under the scheme presumes that the individual is an employee of
SalMar or a participating subsidiary. The total gain from released RSUs during
one calendar year shall not exceed 100 per cent of the participant's basic
salary.
The RSUP goes into effect on 3 December 2014 and encompasses senior executives
and key personnel at SalMar and its subsidiaries, of whom the following are

of RSUs stated bellow:
- Leif Inge Nordhammer, CEO, RSUs: 12 110
