This performance linked bonus would be payable subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria and such other parameters as may be considered appropriate from time to time by the Board which will be payable after the Annual Accounts have been approved. An indicative list of factors that may be considered for determining the extent of performance linked bonus by the Board (recommended by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) are:

 

 


 

a. Company performance on certain defined qualitative and quantitative parameters as may be decided by the Board from time to time.

b. Industry benchmarks of remuneration.

c. Performance of the individual.

 

Long Term Incentive: With the objective of achieving long term value creation through retention and continuity of the leadership, it is intended that a long term incentive plan would be made available. The value of the long term incentive plan is intended to be a target of €550,000 per annum but not exceeding €825,000 per annum. This incentive would be payable subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria and such other parameters as may be considered appropriate from time to time by the Board.

 

The said proposals in item no 4 and 5 of the Notice only seek a confirmation from the shareholders for the 4th and 5th year of his tenure without in any manner seeking to revise or increase Mr Butschek’s remuneration.

 

Determinants of Variable Pay

§ As mentioned on Page 149 of the Annual Report, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews and recommends to the Board the changes in the managerial remuneration, generally being increment in basic salary and incentive remuneration of the CEO & MD on a yearly basis. This review is based on the Balanced Score Card that includes the performance of the Company and the individual Director on certain defined qualitative and quantitative parameters such as:

- Volumes;

- EBITDA;

- market share;

- Cashflows;

- cost reduction initiatives;

- safety;

- strategic initiatives;

- special projects

as decided by the Board vis-a-vis targets set in the beginning of the Year.

 

Other aspects of pay

 

§ As per the said contract with Mr Butschek, there is no provision for increase in fixed pay during the 5 year tenure and accordingly the same has remained constant from the date of his appointment.

 

§ Mr Butschek’s remuneration has a high proportion of variable pay with the same linked to the Company’s performance. In FY 19-20 the variable pay has been sharply reduced by 74% as compared to the previous year (pg. 373 of the Report). The variable pay is around 60 -65% of total pay.

 

§ CEO remuneration is also benchmarked with other expat CEOs in organisations having similar size and complexity in operations. On a Cost to Company basis his remuneration is around the 10th percentile with the benchmarked companies.

 

The Company continues in its journey to improve disclosure standards, including on

CEO remuneration, by benchmarking against best practices in India and globally.
