NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2015 Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London, NW1 3AN on 21 April 2015 at 2.00 p.m. to consider and, if thought fit, to pass the resolutions set out below:
during the period beginning with the date of the passing of this resolution and ending on the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company. For the purpose of this resolution, the terms "political donation" and "political expenditure" have the meanings as set out in sections 363 to 365 of the Companies Act 2006.
The Company's remuneration policies are designed to encourage a high performance culture where people are rewarded and recognised for their performance and ability, and the impact they have on the Company's success. The Company wishes to ensure that the structure of its remuneration propositions are consistent with and promote effective risk management whilst also wishing to retain a degree of flexibility in its remuneration propositions. In particular, the Company is reluctant to raise fixed remuneration outside of its established pay framework and further increase fixed costs to the business by way of consolidated fixed remuneration.
The beneficiaries of this Resolution are the Executive Directors of Santander UK plc or employees of Santander UK plc belonging to categories whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Company, including Divisional Directors or Senior Managers engaged in control functions, risk-taking employees as well as other employees whose total remuneration takes them into the same remuneration bracket as that for the foregoing categories (the "Identified Group"). The types of position affected by this resolution are specified in section (iii) below.
(d) Variable Remuneration Maximum Ratio
| Category | No of Beneficiaries |
Variable Remuneration Maximum Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Directors | 3 | 200% |
| Senior management | 28 | 200% |
| Other employees in the Identified Group* |
127 | 200% |
| Total: | 158 |
The Variable Remuneration Maximum Ratio to be applied to each category within the Identified Group will be as follows:
*Other employees whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Company, or whose remuneration takes them into the same remuneration bracket as that for the foregoing categories or meets other criteria set forth in the draft Regulatory Technical Standards on criteria to identify categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on an institution's risk profile under Article 94(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU.
There is no expected impact of this Resolution to the Company's requirement to maintain a sound capital base.
The Company believes the proposed maximum ratios between the fixed and variable components of total remuneration are appropriate and further believes that:
