Remuneration statement
The Board of Directors
The company’s Board of Directors confirms the remuneration and other benefits paid to the President and CEO and other members of the Management Group and decides on the company’s incentive schemes.
The Annual General Meeting, held on 30 March 2022, resolved that an annual fixed remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors is paid as follows:
- The Chairman is paid EUR 65,000 and
- Members are each paid EUR 37,000
The AGM also resolved that the members of the Board of Directors are paid a meeting-specific fee as follows: EUR 1,000 to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and EUR 500 to the members of the Board of Directors per each meeting held in the home country of the respective member, and EUR 1,500 to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and EUR 1,000 to the members of the Board of Directors per each meeting held elsewhere than in the home country of the respective member.
An elected member of the Board of Directors may, at his/her discretion, choose to receive the annual fixed remuneration partly in company shares and partly in cash so that approximately 40% of the annual fixed remuneration is paid in Detection Technology Plc’s shares. The number of shares forming the above remuneration portion, which would be payable in shares, will be determined based on the share value in the public trading maintained by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, calculated as the trade volume weighted average quotation of the share during the one-month period immediately following the date on which the interim report of January-March 2022 of the company is published.
The members of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee are paid a meeting fee of EUR 500 per meeting. The travel expenses of the members of the Board of Directors as well as the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee are compensated in accordance with the Company’s travel rules.
