Compensation of the Managing Director and Other Executives

The Board of Directors decides on the terms of employment and compensation of the Group CEO and other executives on the Sampo Group Executive Committee, on the basis of a proposal by the Nomination and Compensation Committee. However, the Nomination and Compensation Committee can decide, upon authorisation by the Board of Directors, on the salaries of the members of the Group Executive Committee, excluding the Group CEO and Deputy CEO.

Principles of the Compensation System

In addition to receiving monthly salaries, executives who are members of the Group Executive Committee are participants in the Group's short-term variable compensation system which is decided upon separately each year. The short-term variable compensation is determined on the basis of the Group result, the business area result and individual performance. The maximum amount that can be paid for 2010 to members of the Executive Committee is an amount corresponding to nine months' fixed salary.

The members of the Group Executive Committee are also participants in the long-term incentive systems 2008 II and 2009 I for Sampo's management and in the long-term share-based incentive scheme ‘Sampo 2006' for the Group's key management (scheme 'Sampo 2006' expired during 2010). The terms of the incentive systems are available on Sampo's website.
