Management | Approve Remuneration Report | For | Against | A vote AGAINST this item is warranted because:* The quantum of long-term incentives awarded is high, with a large portion not subject to performance conditions.* The quantum of the overall realized package for FY 2020/2021 is considered excessive (USD 18 million) where this is mainly driven by the SAR plan that is not sufficiently transparent.* A substantial part of the LTI awards vest before the third anniversary in deviation of best practice recommendations.* Scope for increased disclosure of performance targets under the variable pay framework.* Albeit we recognize the company has made a number of efforts to address shareholders concerns as raised at the 2020 AGM, given the level of dissent the changes are not considered to fully address or fully mitigate concerns. | ||||

Management | Approve Remuneration Report | For | Against | A vote AGAINST is warranted because:* The management board's pay package raises quantum concerns. The pay package is substantially above what peers are paying their CEOs, mainly stemming from the base salary. The base salary is substantially above reasonable peers, even above that of Europe's largest companies. The company failed to disclose how it arrived at these levels or how it is considered to be in line with the market.* Further concerns are noted due to significant and unexplained salary increases in the last two years under review.* Short-term performance metrics are vague under the individual as well as ESG/leadership parts, in total accounting for two-thirds of STI. | ||||

Management | Approve Allocation of Income | For | Against | A vote AGAINST the allocation of income (item 3) is warranted because it does not incorporate the paying of an ordinary dividend. The company discontinued dividends in 2020 due to the uncertain outlook for cashflows at the time. However it is clear now that the company has been able to generate a healthy level of cashflow during both 2020 and 2021, and that a dividend payment is warranted at this point, instead of cash going straight to the parent company and reserves with minority shareholders receiving nothing. | ||||
