Variable remuneration
The variable remuneration for senior management in the Company shall be structured as a variable component of the total cash remuneration package and the criteria for the variable remuneration shall be related to the meeting of defined targets. The purpose of the variable remuneration is to promote the Company's long-term value creation. The criteria for the remuneration are to be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors to ensure that the targets are in line with the current business strategies. The proportion of the total remuneration consisting of the variable remuneration may vary depending on the position and may compose a maximum of 50 per cent of the basic remuneration if the relevant targets are met in full and shall be cash based. The remuneration plan shall also include a minimum performance level in relation to the targets, below which no variable remuneration shall be payable.

Other benefits
Other benefits, such as company car, health insurance etc., shall be of limited value in relation to other remuneration and be in line with what is considered market practice.
