   SAMPO PLC                        STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 
11 February 2021 at 12pm 
 
   Proposal of Sampo's Nomination and Remuneration Committee for the 
remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors 
 
   The Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors 
proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 19 May 2021 that 
each member of the Board of Directors be paid an annual fee of EUR 
95,000 until the close of the next Annual General Meeting and the Chair 
of the Board be paid EUR 184,000. Furthermore, the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee proposes that the members of the Board of 
Directors and its Committees be paid the following annual fees: 
 
   - the Vice Chair of the Board be paid EUR 26,000, 
 
   - the Chair of the Audit Committee be paid EUR 26,000, and 
 
   - each member of the Audit Committee be paid EUR 6,000. 
 
   The proposed increase in the annual fees of the Board members is 
approximately 2 per cent. An increase to the annual fees of the Board 
members has last been made at the Annual General Meeting held on 2 June 
2020. In determining the proposed fees, the Committee has considered the 
effect of financial regulation on the demandingness of the Board's work 
and the annual fees paid to Boards of businesses similar to Sampo Group. 
 
 
   Potential statutory social and pension costs incurring to Board members 
having permanent residence outside Finland will, according to applicable 
national legislation, be borne by Sampo plc. In addition, actual travel 
and accommodation costs incurring to a Board member will be reimbursed. 
 
   A Board member shall, in accordance with the resolution of the Annual 
General Meeting, acquire Sampo plc's A shares at the price paid in 
public trading for 50 per cent of his/her annual fee after the deduction 
of taxes, payments and potential statutory social and pension costs. The 
company will pay any possible transfer tax related to the acquisition of 
the company shares. 
 
   A Board member shall make the purchase of shares during 2021 after the 
publication of the Interim Statement for January-September 2021 or, if 
this is not feasible because of insider regulations, on the first 
possible date thereafter. 
 
   A Board member shall be obliged to retain the Sampo A shares under 
his/her ownership for two years from the purchasing date. The disposal 
restriction on the Sampo shares shall, however, be removed earlier in 
case the director's Board membership ends prior to release of the 
restricted shares i.e. the shares will be released simultaneously when 
the term of the Board membership ends.
