Remuneration guidelines

Lindab's remuneration guidelines state that remuneration to the CEO must reflect market conditions and support the Company's long-term strategy. A prerequisite for successful implementation of the Company's business strategy and protection of its long-term interests, including sustainability, is that the Company can secure qualified personnel. To this purpose, the Company needs to offer competitive remuneration.

Remuneration to the CEO consists of fixed salary, variable cash remuneration, occupational pension and other benefits.

The remuneration guidelines adopted by the 2020 Annual General Meeting can be found on page 51 of the 2020 Annual Report. The auditor's report on whether the Company has followed these guidelines is available on the Company's website www.lindabgroup.com.

remuneration

Fixed salary includes holiday pay. Benefits include expenses for company cars, including fuel, and health insurance. Variable cash remuneration amounted to 34 per cent of fixed cash remuneration (fixed salary) in 2020. The CEO has not received remuneration from any other company in the Group during the 2020 financial year.

Variable cash remuneration

Annual variable cash remuneration is linked to predetermined and measurable criteria with a clear link to the company's predefined financial targets. Annual variable cash remuneration amounts to a maximum of 50 per cent of the annual fixed cash remuneration. The result of the 2020 scheme is related to the fulfilment of the Group's targets for Net Profit, Organic Sales Growth and Average External Operational Working Capital / Sales. The Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the CEO's result. The result for the 2020 financial year represented 38.1 per cent of the maximum possible amount.

Long-term variable cash remuneration is linked to predetermined and measurable criteria with a clear link to the Company's predefined financial targets. Long-term variable cash remuneration amounts to a maximum of 70 per cent of the annual fixed cash remuneration. The result is related to the achievement of the Group's targets for growth in Earnings per Share (EPS) over a three-year performance period. For any net result, the participant is expected to invest in the Company's shares. The result for the 2020 financial year represented 86.1 per cent of the maximum possible amount.

Board of Directors

  1. The change in total remuneration relates to the annual change in the sum of all remuneration components as reported in Table
  2. The increase can be attributed to a higher level of variable cash remuneration for the 2016 performance year compared with the previous year.
  3. The CEO resigned his position on 28 September 2017. The acting CEO took up the post on 28 September 2017. When the previous CEO left, salary and occupational pension were paid during the period of notice. The total amount is reported in 2017.

  4. The acting CEO resigned his position on 18 June 2018. The current CEO took up the post on 18 June 2018. Total remuneration 2018 refers to remuneration paid to the acting and current CEO.
  5. The current CEO took up the post on 18 June 2018 and received a higher total remuneration than the remuneration paid to the previous CEO and acting CEO in the previous year.
  6. The decrease can be attributed to a lower level of variable cash remuneration for the 2020 performance year. During the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 August 2020, the CEO voluntarily sacrificed part of his gross salary owing to Covid-19.

  8. Total remuneration for all other employees in the Lindab Group divided by the number of full-time equivalents in the respective year.
