Decision process and approval framework

Each of the registered Executive Management members participates in a short-term incentive program that provides an annual cash bonus based on the achievement of predetermined targets for the preceding financial year. The short-term incentive payment levels will be determined by the Board of Directors from year to year. The CEO has a target of up to 100% and a maximum of up to 117% of the fixed annual base salary. The other registered Executive Management members have a target of up to 33.33% and a maximum of up to 50% of the fixed annual base salary. All registered Executive Management members may receive payment below target and potentially no payment in case of performance below target.
