Remuneration Report 2020
1. Introduction
Scanfil plc's Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2020 discussed the remuneration policy regarding the company's administrative bodies. The objective of the discussed remuneration policy is to promote the long-term financial performance of the company and development of the shareholder value through the remuneration of the company's top management by having the management committed to and motivated in implementing the company's strategy in line with the interests of all shareholders of the company. The remuneration policy also aims to provide the CEO with a total remuneration package that motivates and commits the CEO to the implementation of the company's long-term strategy and its financial profitability are concerned.
According to the policy, remuneration of the Board of Directors can consist of one or several elements, such as annual fees and meeting fees. The fees can be paid in cash, or partly in cash and partly in company's shares. Board members are not covered by the company's incentive reward schemes. In 2020, the Board's monthly fees, committee membership fees and meeting fees were paid in cash.
The remuneration of the CEO consists of a fixed base salary and variable incentives, i.e., performance-based bonuses. The variable incentive schemes include the annual incentive scheme and the stock option incentive scheme. The variable annual incentive scheme cannot exceed 100 per cent of the fixed base salary.
