Long and short term incentives
Remuneration to the members of the Group Executive Management consists of fixed salary, variable remuneration, pension and other benefits. In 2022, the Group Executive management will be offered three types of variable remuneration.
First, the Group Executive Management's remuneration includes a short-term variable remuneration where the payment requires fulfillment of set financial targets regarding profitability, cash flow and growth, and is maximized to a highest possible proportion of the Group Executive Management member's fixed annual salary (40-70 percent). In 2022, no long-term share related or share price related incentive program can be implemented.
Second, the Company has adopted a long-term cash-based incentive program that runs during 2022 as no long-term share related or share price related incentive program can be implemented in 2022. Payment within the incentive program is conditional on continued employment in Alleima for a three-year period until the end of 2024. after which any payment is made. The payment is conditional on the Group achieving a defined profitability target in 2022 and is limited to a maximum of 75 percent of the fixed annual salary for the President and CEO and 60 percent of the fixed annual salary for other members of the Group Executive Management.
Third, the Company has decided to compensate the Group Executive Management and other program participants for loss of granted shares in Sandvik's long-term share-based incentive program for 2021. Sandvik's program is a three-year program where the program's outcome is determined after the end of the program's introductory year and where granted shares are awarded participants after the three-year period.
With the separation of Alleima from the Sandvik Group, a large number of the shares in the program will lapse for persons who are employed by Alleima. The Company has therefore decided to compensate the participants with a cash amount corresponding to the value of the shares lapsed. Payment of the amount will take place in 2024, when the Sandvik program would have ended, provided that the participants are still employed by Alleima.
