Board Remuneration

Board Remuneration

The Company’s remuneration policy in respect of the Board of Directors is based on the following principles: the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee proposes the level of fees at a meeting of the Committee and, subject to approval, the proposal is put forward for the Board to consider. Subject to Board approval the proposed fees are put to shareholders at the AGM for final approval.

Independent directors serve on the Board pursuant to agreements. These agreements have a one-year term and provide for identical levels of remuneration and the reimbursement of certain expenses.

A directors remuneration consists of an annual salary of US$150,000 and a payment for committee membership (US$24,000) or chairmanship (US$100,000 in respect of the audit committee chairmanship or US$50,000 for chairmanship of other committees). The fees payable for the chairmanship of a committee exclude the right to claim the membership fee, and any director elected chairman of more than one committee is only entitled to receive fees in respect of one chairmanship.

Mr Arshba, as a member of the Russian Parliament, is not entitled to any remuneration.

Mr Alexander Frolov as the Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors is entitled to the following remuneration: 1) the directors fee as stated above plus any applicable fees for participation in the work of the Board committees; 2) a performance-related bonus subject to the discretion of the Remuneration Committee of the Company and approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. The bonus is subject to the achievement of a performance condition based on the target value figures set out by the Board of Directors. The CEO of EVRAZ Group is not granted any specific non-material remuneration.
