3.2 | The Supervisory Board of the Company shall review annually, at its discretion, if there should be an increase in the gross base salary as per April 1 of a relevant year. The CEO shall be informed in writing of any salary increases awarded to him in this way. |
3.3 | The CEO will be entitled to participate in an incentive scheme determined by the Company’s Supervisory Board in consultation with the CEO. Under the CEO Incentive Scheme the CEO may be entitled to payment of a bonus amount, within two months from the date on which the annual accounts for the relevant financial year have been adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders, subject to the achievement of predefined targets based on the Company's annual budget ('Budget Target'). Budget Targets and stretched targets (‘Stretched Targets’) will be set on a yearly basis by the Company's Supervisory Board in consultation with the CEO. The three Bonus Target criteria are EBITDA, operational cash flow and total revenues. The Budget Targets and Stretched Targets will be weighed on the following basis: EBITDA (weigh factor 40%), operational cash flow (weigh factor 40%) and total revenues (weigh factor 20%). The achievement of the Budget Target and Stretched Target will be determined each year by comparing the Budget Target and Stretched Target to the actual annual results of the Company. The Company's auditors will make this calculation. |
3.4 | At the achievement all three Budget Target criteria (=100% score) the CEO will be entitled to an annual incentive bonus amount of 100% of the gross annual base |
salary paid in the relevant annual incentive year on a pro rated basis (=on-target bonus amount). The total realized annual incentive bonus amount will be calculated by adding the realizations for each Bonus Target criteria together. In case less than 80% of the Budget Target is achieved for a specific Bonus Target criteria no bonus amount will be payable for that specific criteria. In case 80% or more up to 100% of the Budget Target is achieved for a specific bonus criteria the bonus amount will vary between 20 and 100% of the on-target bonus amount for that specific Bonus Target criteria. At the achievement of all the three Stretched Targets (=100% score) the CEO will be entitled to an annual incentive bonus amount of 200% (including the annual bonus related to the Target Budget mentioned above in this article) of the gross annual base salary paid in the relevant annual incentive year. In case 100% of Budget Target or more up to 100% of the Stretched Target is achieved for a specific Bonus Target criteria the bonus amount will vary between 100 and 200% of the on-target bonus amount for that specific Bonus Target criteria. In case more than 100% of the Stretched Target is achieved for a specific Bonus Target criterion, the bonus amount will be maximised to 200% of the on- target bonus amount for that specific Bonus Target criteria.
3.5 | Only in case of termination of the Agreement by the Company other than for cause limited to theft and/or fraud (ontslag op staande voet) or, by the Court on application of the Company other than for cause limited to theft and/or fraud (dringende reden), or in case of retirement or death the Company will pay a pro rata payment of the bonus for the financial year in which, or shortly after which, the CEO's employment is terminated, provided that the conditions for bonus pay-out are met, which payment will be prorated for the period that the CEO has performed actual work for the Company and whereby the pro rata bonus shall not be paid to the CEO until the financial results for the relevant year have been determined. In all other situations in which the Agreement ends, or if the CEO has served notice, no (pro rata) payment of the bonus will be considered and/or made. |
3.6 | Without prejudice to clause 3.5, if the CEO has not performed actual work during the full financial year, any bonus paid (if conditions for bonus pay-out are met) shall be pro rata to the part of the financial year during which the CEO has performed actual work. For the purposes of this article "actual work" shall be deemed to include periods of holiday leave and periods of incapacity to work on account of illness or disablement, in so far as such period does not exceed 3 months. |
3.7 | Subject to confirmation of the Tax authorities, the Company considers the so-called ‘30% ruling’ applicable to you under the current tax regulations. The company shall submit an application for this special tax-rule to the tax authorities. The 30% ruling allows the Company to pay you approximately 30% of practically all remuneration in the form of a tax-free compensation for so called ‘extra territorial costs’. Consequently, your legal and taxable wage is reduced by the same percentage, so your remuneration is for approximately 30% paid as a tax-free compensation and for approximately 70% as taxable wage. The 30%-ruling only applies to so-called income from present employment, which includes, among other things, monthly salaries and annual incentives, but excludes (future) pension payments and redundancy payments. Moreover, under the 30%-ruling, you are eligible for a limited taxation also on other Dutch taxable income you might have. |
