CHAPTER II: PROVISIONS OF CONTENT
  1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
    • The Bank complies with the legal transparency provisions regarding the remuneration of the management body, in order to enable stakeholders to make a

      PATRIA BANK SA Remuneration policy of the management body

      credible and reliable assessment of the organization and its remuneration policy/practice;

    • The remuneration policy corresponds to the Bank's long-term business strategy, objectives, values and interests and includes measures to avoid conflicts of interest;

    • Remuneration is linked to performance, the amount of total remuneration should be based on a combination of individual and collective performance assessment, and both financial criteria (profit and loss account, e.g. expected profit at year-end, ROE/ROA), balance sheet structure, e.g: total assets; expected loan portfolio balance and prudential criteria, e.g.: total solvency level/CET1, NPE ratio, LCR level, immediate liquidity ratio), as well as non-financial criteria (personal development, compliance with the Bank's systems and controls, involvement in the Bank's business strategies, etc);

    • The remuneration policy for the governing body is gender neutral, i.e. members of the governing body, irrespective of gender, are remunerated equally, for the same work or work of equal value;

    • The annual performance bonus shall be granted on the basis of performance appraisal, which performance shall be assessed annually in accordance with specific internal regulations, to ensure that the appraisal process is based on long-term performance and that the actual payment of the performance-based components of remuneration is spread over a period that takes into account the Bank's business cycle and the risks specific to the Bank's business;

    • Payments relating to early termination of a contract reflect performance over time and are designed in a way that does not reward non-performance or unprofessional conduct;

    • The total variable remuneration must not limit the Bank's ability to strengthen its capital base or jeopardize compliance with the risk limits set under the risk strategy;

    • Guaranteed variable remuneration must be exceptional in nature and arise only when hiring staff, limited to their first year of employment, and only when the Bank has a healthy and solid capital base. The power to approve the guaranteed variable remuneration rests with the Board of Directors;

    • The variable component of the total (annual) remuneration shall not exceed 100% of the fixed component of the total (annual) remuneration or the maximum level allowed by the National Bank of Romania through the orders/measures imposed on the Bank.

    • The measure of performance used to calculate the variable remuneration components must include an adjustment for current and potential risks and take into account the cost of capital and liquidity needs;

    • Considering that Patria Bank is not a large credit institution as defined in Art. 4 para.

      (1) point 146 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, the variable remuneration may be granted in the form of the immediate component, unless otherwise provided for in the approval decision;

    • The members of the management body shall undertake not to use personal hedging strategies or insurance policies related to remuneration and liability to counter the risk alignment effects provided for in this policy and its remuneration arrangements.

      PATRIA BANK SA Remuneration policy of the management body

    • Reward for quantity and quality of work (the principle of awarding annual bonuses based on job performance appraisal, financial and non-financial criteria);

    • Rewarding superior performance - superior performance should be rewarded with a significant amount that realizes the difference from the normal payout, but sufficiently prudent so as not to encourage risk-taking that exceeds the Bank's risk tolerance;

    • Bearing in mind the Bank's performance, as well as the legal provisions which refer to the fact that credit institutions must have a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration, allowing the variable remuneration to decrease as a result of a negative performance, even down to 0, the general remuneration policy applicable to the management body will be established for each individual year. Thus, the present remuneration policy regulates both fixed remuneration and variable remuneration linked to performance, in the context of which specific Procedures will be developed;

    • Up to 100% of the variable remuneration is subject to malus and clawback arrangements irrespective of the type of variable remuneration (except for guaranteed variable remuneration);

    • Malus arrangements apply to both cash and instrument portions of deferred compensation. Malus arrangements operate by affecting the vesting process and cannot operate after the end of the deferral period. The arrangement takes into account the risk outcomes of the underlying performance of the bank as a whole, the organizational structure and where possible the employee;

    • The clawback arrangement typically applies only in the event of the discovery of fraud or the existence of misleading information, serious breach of internal regulations and/or the occurrence of damage to the bank and applies to both immediate and deferred variable remuneration. The maximum period up to which the clawback agreement can be implemented is 3 years from the date of vesting of the variable remuneration (cash and/or non-cash);

    • Variable remuneration is not paid through any instrument or method that facilitates avoidance of the requirements of this policy;

    • Any form of variable remuneration is suspended when the Bank no longer meets the minimum levels of prudential indicators set by the NBR. DAR will inform the DRU when such a situation exists so that the bonus payments are not submitted for approval.

      In the situation where members of the management body are eligible for performance-related remuneration, the level of their remuneration must be subject to relevant and objective conditions and must not be excessively correlated with the short-term performance of the credit institution. The Board of Directors will finalise the framework for setting and assessing annual performance targets;

      Deferred sums may not be paid through an accelerated procedure at the same time as the termination of the mandate contract, unless this contract is terminated due to death.

      PATRIA BANK SA Remuneration policy of the management body

      As of the effective date of this policy, the Bank falls under the exception provided for in Article 171, paragraph (1, index 1), letter a) of NBR Regulation No. 5/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions, as Patria Bank is not a large credit institution, as defined in Article 4(1) (1), point 146 of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, and whose assets, on average and on an individual basis, in accordance with Government Emergency Ordinance No. 99/2006 on credit institutions and capital adequacy, as approved with amendments and additions by Law No. 227/2007, as subsequently amended and supplemented, with Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, and with the regulations issued in application thereof, an amount equal to or less than 1 billion euros during the 4-year period immediately preceding the current financial year, taking into account the provisions of Article 94 of Directive 2013/36 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms.

      The Bank will review the application of the exemption provided for in Article 171 on an annual basis to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
