Remuneration of the Executive Team
The Board’s Remuneration and HR Committee decides on the compensation and benefits of the other Executive Team members based on the President and CEO’s proposal and general principles approved by the Board.
The remuneration of the Executive Team members comprises a fixed base salary (including monthly salary and taxable benefits, such as a car and a mobile phone according to local market practice), short- and long-term incentives and a supplementary pension plan.
Long-term incentive plan, Performance Share Plan
In December 2020, the Board of Directors of Valmet Oyj approved a long-term share-based incentive plan, the Performance Share Plan, for Valmet's Executive Team members. The plan includes a three-year performance period parallel to a one-year performance period. Valmet's Board of Directors decides on the predefined performance measures and targets in the beginning of each performance period.
The potentially earned share reward represents a gross reward from which the applicable payroll tax is withheld, and the remaining net balance is paid to the key employee in shares.
