Treasure ASA
STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD
The board has developed Remuneration guidelines according to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act (Companies Act) §6-16a and b. The guidelines will be presented to the Annual General Meeting for approval 15 March 2022.
Salary to senior executives
Treasure ASA does not have any employees and has a service level agreement with the majority shareholder, Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, supplying senior management (defined as CEO and CFO) and shared services (accounting, financial reporting, internal control, and communications).
In 2021, the service agreements amounted to NOK 1.8 million. The fee is based on market terms, using a cost plus 5% margin calculation, in accordance with the principles set out in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. For the past three years, 52% of the fee has been covering management for hire, while 48% has been related to reporting and control and other administrative support.
The management fee is flat and independent of the financial development of the company.
The board is of the opinion that the fee for the service agreement is prudent given the time and resources spent to develop and follow up the company.
Financial performance indicators
The primary focus for Treasure ASA is managing the shareholding in Hyundai Glovis. Given that the company's main source of income is the dividend from Hyundai Glovis and that the company's fundamental objective is to generate significant total shareholder returns, total income and dividend paid are key financial performance indicators.
The below tables show development in the management fee, broken down by senior management and other services, compared with development in key financial indicators, table 1 in % and table 2 in actual figures.

- * The company was incorporated in 2016 and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange 8 June 2016. Given that the company's main source of income is the dividend form Hyundai Glovis, which historically has been paid in the second quarter, the company had limited income in its first year. Further, as the main costs in the company are dividend paid to shareholders of the company, the costs were also limited in the first year of operation. It does not make sense to compare 2016 and 2017, and figures for 2016 and comparing 2016 and 2017 have therefore been left out.
- ** Part of the management fee was not paid in 2018 but incorporated in later years' management fees. Comparing 2017 and 2018 and 2018 and 2019 therefore make limited sense and is left out.
- *** Compared with the figures in 2019, the profit before tax in 2020 included a net change in fair value of the shares in Hyundai Glovis with a gain of USD 201.6 million compared with a gain of USD 37 in 2019. When comparing the figures with 2018, the profit before tax included a net change in fair value of the shares in Hyundai Glovis with a gain of USD 37 million in 2019 and a loss of USD 52.8 million in 2018. When comparing 2017 with 2018, the loss before tax in 2017 included an impairment of the stake of Hyundai Glovis of USD 137.4 million.
- **** The dividend in 2017 included an extra ordinary dividend of NOK 0.65 per share, in addition to the ordinary dividend of NOK 0.30 per share. The dividend in 2021 showed a significant increase due to proceeds from sale of shares in Hyundai Glovis in December 2020.
