Proposal for remuneration of the Board
The Shareholders' Nomination Board’s proposal is that the Board's remuneration will be paid in company shares in accordance with the current policy.
The shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the fixed monthly remuneration of the Board Members will be determined as an annual remuneration and paid once a year.
The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the annual remuneration of the Board Members elected at the Annual General Meeting for the term of office, which ends at the end of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, remains unchanged, i.e. is as follows:
- EUR 60,000 for the Chairman of the Board
- EUR 48,000 for Vice Chairman and Committee Chairs (however, the fee is not paid twice, if the Chairman/Vice Chairman also serves as Committee Chair)
- EUR 38,400 for each other Board Member.
The Nomination Board proposes that approximately 40 percent of the annual fees be paid in Alisa Bank Plc shares purchased from the market on behalf of the Board Members, or alternatively by handing over the company's own shares or issuing new shares.
When transferring the company's own shares or issuing new shares, the share conversion rate is the weighted average price of the company's share exchange in Nasdaq Helsinki Oy for the period of five trading days after the publication of the company's half-year report 2025. The company is responsible for the costs and possible transfer tax arising from the acquisition, transfer or giving of the shares. The rest of the annual fee is paid in cash, which covers the taxes arising from the fee.
The shares will be acquired directly on behalf of the Board Members within two weeks after the company's 2025 half-year report is announced. The transfer of the company's own shares or the issuance of new shares takes place as soon as possible after the reward has been converted into shares. If the acquisition, transfer or giving of the shares cannot be carried out at the aforementioned time due to legal or other regulatory restrictions or for another reason related to the company or the Board Member, the shares will be acquired, transferred or given later or the annual remuneration will be paid in full in cash.
