Remuneration Statement
Remuneration
Well-functioning and competitive remuneration is an essential tool for engaging competent members at Board-level, as executives and as experts on all levels of the organization. Remuneration must be in proportion to the long-term value creation and development of the Company.
Our remuneration is built on the following principles:
DRIVING HIGH PERFORMANCE
The objective of remuneration at Valmet is to encourage employees as individuals and as team members to achieve the set financial and operational targets and to strive for excellent performance. A key element of Valmet's remuneration is the implementation of a pay for performance -culture. All employees are eligible for a performance reward or bonus, linking rewarding to performance and strengthening individual and team accountability. For key personnel and top management, a notable part of remuneration comes from variable pay, i.e. short-term and long-term incentives, to ensure that remuneration is aligned with the Company's financial performance and linked to the successful implementation of business strategy.
COMPETITIVE REMUNERATION TO RETAIN TALENT WITH THE BEST FIT
In determining the appropriate remuneration levels, Valmet applies a benchmark approach, ensuring that remuneration is aligned with internal and external references and observing remuneration levels for similar positions among peer companies. Valmet's approach is not to be the market leader in pay, but to offer competitive remuneration to retain talent with the best fit.
FAIRNESS AND SUSTAINABILITY
Linking remuneration to the role, local salary market and individual and/or team performance, Valmet aims to ensure equal treatment and fair remuneration of all employees.
Valmet's remuneration approval principles are designed to ensure that changes in pay are always subject to grandfather approval. This supports the equality and impartialness of decisions related to pay.
Valmet's variable pay components support sustainability by tying selected sustainability topics, such as health and safety as well as the sustainable supply chain, to remuneration.

VALMET | REMUNERATION STATEMENT 2017
Short-term incentives
The Board of Directors annually confirms the terms and targets of the short-term incentives on Company level. The amount paid out as short-term incentives, if any, is based on achieving set financial performance targets of Valmet and/or the business in question. In addition to these, also individual and/or team targets are used. The Remuneration and HR Committee evaluates and the Board of Directors approves the achievement of the predefined targets of the President and CEO. For the President and CEO and for other Executive Team members, the maximum annual short-term incentive is currently 50–60 percent of the person's annual base salary.
Performance targets and respective weights are reviewed annually to ensure alignment with Company strategy. In setting performance targets and target levels, annual budgets set by the Board of Directors, internal and external forecasts as well as the prevailing economic environment are considered. Performance targets are meant to be stretching but achievable.
For the President and CEO and the Executive team, Valmet Comparable EBITA is a common bonus target. All Valmet's financial and operational targets are planned to support reaching the Valmet-level Comparable EBITA target. For the President and CEO, Comparable EBITA is a direct bonus target with a significant target weight. For the Executive Team Members as well as other participants in Valmet's Global Bonus Plan, Valmet EBITA is used as the basis for funding the payout. If the set minimum level is not reached, no bonus payouts are executed. A payout factor of 0–1 is used when determining the correct level of bonus payout.
Valmet ties selected sustainability topics, such as health and safety as well as sustainable supply chain, to remuneration. Safety targets are part of team performance targets in bonus plans for selected employee groups and top management. Individual performance targets might also include targets for emissions reductions or other sustainability-related topics. Sustainable supply chain targets are part of selected groups' performance targets in Valmet's global procurement.
Share-based incentive plans
The Board of Directors decides and implements Valmet's share-based incentive plans, which are part of the remuneration program for key personnel.
The purpose of the plans is to align the goals of shareholders and management to enhance the long-term value of the Company. The plans also aim to ensure commitment of management and offers them a competitive, ownership-based reward scheme.
Any shares to be potentially awarded are acquired through public trading, and therefore the incentive plans have no diluting effect on the share value.
Long-term incentive plan 2012–2014
Prior to the partial demerger of Metso Corporation and before Valmet Oyj was incorporated, in December 2011, a share-based incentive plan including three performance periods, which were the calendar years 2012, 2013, and 2014 was approved. The reward for each performance period of the plan could not exceed 120 percent of a participant's annual base salary. As a rule, no reward was paid if the key employee's employment or service ended before the reward payment.
From the performance period 2014 a gross number of 262,980 shares were earned. The reward was paid partly as Company shares and partly in cash in March 2017. The cash portion was dedicated to cover taxes and tax-related payments.
Long-term incentive plan 2015–2017
The Board of Directors of Valmet Oyj approved in December 2014 a share-based incentive plan for Valmet's key employees. The Plan included three performance periods, which were the calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017. The Board of Directors decided on the performance criteria and targets in the beginning of each performance period. The plan has been directed to approximately 80 key employees (including Executive Team members).
The rewards from the plan are paid partly as Company shares and partly in cash. The cash portion is dedicated to cover taxes and tax-related payments arising from the reward to the key employee. The reward of the plan from one performance period may not exceed 120 percent of the key employee's annual base salary. As a rule, no reward is paid, if the key employee's employment or service ends before the reward payment. The shares paid as reward may not be transferred during the restriction period, which will end two years after the end of each performance period. Should a key employee's employment or service end during the restriction period, as a rule, he or she must gratuitously return the shares given as reward to Valmet.
The key attributes of the 2015–2017 long-term incentive plan
| Performance period | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incentive based on | EBITA % and Services orders received growth % | Comparable EBITA % and orders received growth % of the stable business | Comparable EBITA % and orders received growth % of the stable business |
| Reward payment | in spring 2016 | in spring 2017 | in spring 2018 |
| Total gross number of shares earned (including the matching share rewards) | 540,035 shares | 556,049 shares | As at December 31, 2017 a total of 390,820 shares has been allotted to participants |
As part of the share-based incentive program, members of the Executive Team have had the possibility to receive a matching share reward
VALMET | REMUNERATION STATEMENT 2017
for each performance period, provided that the Executive Team member owned or acquired Valmet shares up to a number determined by the Board of Directors by the end of each performance period. Reward receipt is tied to continued employment or service of the Executive Team member upon reward payment.
Long-term incentive plan for 2018–2020
The Board of Directors of Valmet Oyj has in December 2017 decided on a new long-term share-based incentive plan for Valmet's key employees. The plan includes three performance periods, which are the calendar years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Valmet's Board of Directors shall decide on the performance criteria and targets in the beginning of each performance period. The plan is directed to a total of approximately 120 participants, of which 80 are key employees in management positions (including Executive Team members), and 40 are management talents, which is a new target group in Valmet's share-based incentive plan.
For all plan participants the maximum reward is capped at grant to a fixed number of shares. For the President and CEO the reward is capped at grant to a maximum number of shares calculated based on 130% of his annual base salary. For maximum reward calculation purposes, other Executive Team members are allocated into two groups based on the position each one of them holds. For both groups, a fixed maximum number of shares is calculated based on 110% of the groups' internal average annual base salary.
The rewarded shares may not be transferred during the restriction period, which will end two years after the end of the performance period. As a rule, no reward is paid if the key employee's employment or service at Valmet ends before the reward payment. Should a key employee's employment or service end during the restriction period, he or she must, as a rule, gratuitously return the shares given as reward to the Company.
The potential reward is purely performance based for all plan participants, and the reward from the performance period 2018 is based on Valmet's Comparable EBITA margin and orders received growth (%) of the stable business, that is, the Services and Automation business lines. The potential reward from the performance period 2018 will be paid partly in Company shares and partly in cash in 2019. The proportion to be paid in cash is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key employee. The rewards to be paid based on the performance period 2018 are capped to an approximate maximum of 586,000 shares in Valmet.
Share ownership recommendation
To recognize and highlight the importance and value of having the members of Valmet's Executive Team own and hold Company shares, the Board of Directors have in December 2017 approved a share ownership recommendation for Valmet's Executive Team members. All members of Valmet's Executive Team are recommended to own and hold Company shares equaling to their gross annual base salary (100 percent ownership recommendation). The below table outlines the Executive Team members' current shareholdings.

VALMET | REMUNERATION STATEMENT 2017
Remuneration Report
Rewarding linked to business performance

Comparable EBITA development

Share price development
Since the demerger from Metso, Valmet has achieved consistent business progress. Our profitability, orders received as well as the share price development have shown steady improvement. As our performance targets for short-term incentives and long-term incentives are directly linked to our business results, this positive development is reflected in the performance-based rewards paid to the top management and other personnel that belong to Valmet's incentive schemes.
The Remuneration and HR committee regularly reviews market benchmark data for executive remuneration to be able to determine correct compensation levels for the members of Valmet's Executive Team. In the autumn 2016 Valmet conducted an extensive analysis on executive salaries with an external party to determine possible gaps. The market benchmark analysis included companies of a similar size and complexity to Valmet. In addition to benchmark data, the analysis
included data regarding business performance and individual performance. The outcome of the analysis showed a significant gap between the market median for CEO roles and the fixed and variable compensation for Valmet's President and CEO. In addition to the benchmark data, the Remuneration and HR committee considered the changes that took place in the CEO's responsibility area since Valmet becoming an independent, stock-listed company. Due to the integration of Automation business line in 2015, the Company has become stronger, resulting in a wider business as well as personnel responsibility for the CEO. As a result of the analysis, the Board of Directors implemented a 25% base salary increase for the President and CEO Pasi Laine. This increase, effective as of January 1, 2017, was executed to align his salary with the salary market, strong business progress and good individual performance.
