§4

Variable Remuneration (Variable Components of Remuneration)

  • 1. The Variable Remuneration of a Member of the Management Board depends on the degree to which Managerial Objectives have been achieved and may not exceed 100% of the Fixed Remuneration received by a Member of the Management Board in the financial year for which the Variable Remuneration is to be granted.

  • 2. The catalogue of general Managerial Objectives includes in particular the following:

    • a) the achievement of EBITDA for the PGE Capital Group at the level specified in the approved material and financial plan for a given financial year;

    • b) compliance with the covenants under credit agreements - (net debt/EBITDA);

    • d) the implementation of particular strategic investment projects and programmes;

    • e) the adjustment of the Capital Group to the structural changes of the sector by way of implementing strategic programmes and projects other than those referred to in letter d above;

    • f) the effective utilization of the potential of innovation;

    • g) the development of a systemic approach to communication within the PGE Capital Group with respect to projects.

  • 3. In each financial year, additional Managerial Objectives are established whose achievement determines the possibility of achieving the Variable Remuneration. Such additional Managerial Objectives include in particular the following:

    • a) the development and application of the principles of establishing remuneration for members of management and supervisory bodies in subsidiaries in accordance with the principles specified in the Remuneration Act;

    • b) the fulfilment of the obligations referred to in Articles 17-20, Article 22, and Article 23, taking into account Article 18a and Article 23a of the State Property Management Act of 16 December 2016.

  • 4. The Supervisory Board is authorized to determine detailed Managerial Objectives, their respective weights, as well as objective and measurable criteria of their accomplishment and settlement (KPI - key performance indicators), subject to the following conditions:

    • a) a given Member of the Management Board is entitled to the Variable Remuneration after the approval of the Management Board's report on the Company's activities and the Company's financial statements for a given financial year and after the acknowledgement of their discharge of duties in a given financial year by the General Meeting;

    • b) the payment of a part of the Variable Remuneration may be delayed for up to 36 months depending on the fulfilment of conditions, by a specified deadline, in accordance with the established Managerial Objectives; then such a part of the Variable Remuneration may be paid in full or in part at the end of a settlement period;

    • c) the Variable Remuneration is calculated on a pro rata basis. Proportionality depends on the number of days on which a Member of the Management Board has provided their services in a given financial year;

    • d) the Supervisory Board ascertains the fulfilment of the conditions for the granting of the Variable Remuneration by particular Members of the Management Board for whom Managerial Objectives have been established for a given financial year and who have performed their functions in the year under assessment, determining the due amount on the basis of financial statements checked by certified auditors as well as other documents, depending on the

established Managerial Objectives. Issues related to the recovery of the Variable Remuneration are regulated by the binding provisions of the law.

  • 5. The expiry of the mandate of a Member of the Management Board undergoing assessment with respect to the achievement of the Managerial Objectives does not result in the loss of the right to receive the Variable Remuneration under the conditions specified in clauses 1-4 above, provided that such a Member of the Management Board has performed their functions for a period longer than 3 (three) months in the financial year under assessment.

  • 6. The criteria for awarding the Variable Remuneration defined above in terms of general Managerial Objectives also apply (at a detailed level determined by the Supervisory Board) to taking into account social interests, the Company's and the Capital Group's contributing to environmental protection and taking actions aimed at preventing and eliminating negative social effects of the Company's and the Capital Group's operations by modernizing the Company and the Capital Group.

    The criteria specified in Managerial Objectives are to contribute to the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 90d clause 2 of the Public Offering Act by linking the remuneration to the execution of management processes involving the implementation of the business strategy of the Company and the Capital Group.
