About the report
This report outlines the remuneration received by the members of the Board of Directors of Yara International ASA and members of Yara Group Executive Board during 2025. It is prepared in accordance with the Public Limited Companies Act section 6-16b and the European Commission guidelines on the standardized presentation of the remuneration report under Directive 2007/36/EC, as amended by Directive (EU) 2017/828, as regards encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement.
Pursuant to the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act section 6-16b (2) the statement will be presented to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2026, which shall hold an advisory vote on the report.
The report is available on Yara's website for ten years from the time of publishing.
The Yara Executive Remuneration Report for 2024 was presented to the 2025 AGM for advisory vote. 74.7 percent of the votes cast were for the report and 25.3 percent were against. There are reasons to believe that the high number of votes against the report is based on recommendation given by the proxy advisory company Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS), who provides services to shareholders to vote their shares at shareholder meetings. All capital managers holding more than one million Yara shares who voted against the report utilize ISS' services. The major Norwegian capital managers who voted against confirm that they followed ISS' advice.
ISS cited that the reason for their recommendation to vote against was that there are no performance conditions in the scheme Yara's Share-Based Remuneration (SBR) following the grant.
The Board considers that SBR in its current form is an important element of the total remuneration in order to stay competitive and secure retention of executives. SBR payment is contingent on Yara's net results excluding special items and currency gain/loss being net positive over the last three years. In order to support alignment of interests with shareholder's interests, it is furthermore expected, as explained in more detail in the section Share-based remuneration, that members of the Group Executive Board, in addition to the SBR, yearly invest in Yara shares and that they do not sell any Yara shares during their tenure as members of the Group Executive Board.
In addition to SBR supporting alignment of interests with shareholders over time, the annual targets in the Short-term incentive plan (STIP) are aligned with the company's long-term strategic goals, so that this plan also supports the company's long-term value creation and capital allocation policy.
The allocation of SBR shares in 2025 was based on the same principles as for 2024, as described above. The Board has decided that these principles shall remain in place for the 2026 allocation of SBR shares to the Yara CEO. The CEO has decided that the same principles will apply to the other members of the Group Executive Board.

Group Executive Board
General principles for remuneration of the Group Executive BoardThe purpose of Yara's remuneration policy is to ensure that Yara attracts and retains the right people in leadership positions to implement Yara's strategy and ensure long-term sustainable value creation to Yara's shareholders and other stakeholders. This requires that Yara offers competitive remuneration aligned with relevant market practice. At the same time Yara exercises moderation through responsible and non-market-leading remuneration.
The total remuneration for the members of the Group Executive Board comprises the following elements:
Base salary
Share-Based Remuneration (SBR)
Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
Pension plan benefits
Other compensation elements such as internet connection, company car or car allowance
For regional EVPs: Local Market Allowance and the Additional Share Based Remuneration
In accordance with the State Guidelines on Remuneration, the Board assessed whether the salary increase should be a nominal increase in Norwegian kroner (NOK) rather than a percentage. The average salary increase in NOK for Yara employees in Norway was calculated to NOK 43 thousand (USD 4.1 thousand). A nominal increase of the base salary with this amount would be equal to a 0.5 percent increase for the Yara CEO and a 0.9 percent average for the other members of the Group Executive Board. With reference to retention risk and benchmarking againts peers, as well as Yara's general practice for salary review, which are not in nominal amounts, the Board decided that the annual salary increase in 2025 for the members of Group Executive Board should be a percentage increase. The annual base salary increase for the Yara CEO was set at 4.37 percent, aligning with the percentage framework applied to Yara employees in Norway.
The remuneration of the Group Executive Board in 2025 has been provided in accordance with the 2025 Guidelines on Salary and Other Remuneration for Executive Personnel, see page 39 in Yara Annual Report 2025, available on yara.com.
No share-based remuneration or short-term incentive awards from previous years have been clawed back from members of the Group Executive Board in 2025.
CEO remuneration 2025 Total direct compensation split 2025 CEOAnnual base salary
The annual base salary for the CEO is USD 881,020 (NOK 9,136,814). An annual salary review adjustment of 4.37 percent of his base salary was made as of 1 June 2025. The CEO abstained from annual salary adjustments for the years 2019-2021. From the time the CEO was employed by Yara in 2015 through 2025, the average annual salary review increase of his base salary has been 2.7 percent. For the same period, the average annual salary review increase for Yara employees in Norway was 3.1 percent.
Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)The CEO was eligible for a short-term incentive payout according to the plan, with the outcome for 2025 described below. The target payout is 20 percent, with a capped payout of 25 percent of annual base salary, including vacation pay, on the short-term incentive payout.
Share-Based Remuneration (SBR)The CEO is entitled to and was rewarded share-based remuneration representing a fixed percentage (30 percent) of his annual base salary according to the plan described in the Yara 2025 Guidelines on Salary and Other Remuneration for Executive Personnel, see to page 39 in Yara Annual Report 2025, available on yara.com.
Pension and personal insurance plansSvein Tore Holsether is member of the following pension plans that were available for executive management until 3 December 2015: A funded defined contribution (DC) plan providing contributions equal to 7 percent of pensionable salary up to 7.1 times the Norwegian Social Security Base Amount (G) plus 18 percent of salary between 7.1G and 12G, and; an unfunded DC plan for salary above 12G with contribution equal to 25 percent of pensionable salary exceeding 12G. The pension benefit reported for the unfunded DC plan for salary above 12G includes company contributions during the year.
In addition to the above, the CEO has an unfunded DC savings early retirement plan. It provides him with a calculated (expected) pension payment corresponding to 65 percent of his base salary for the two years between age 65 and 67 if he stays with Yara until age 65. Contributions equal to 5.4 percent annually of his current base salary are made to this plan. If he leaves the company before turning 65, the company's contribution to the plan ceases, but a calculated return continues to be added to the savings balance accrued. The savings balance, including returns, is paid out as pension over two years from the age 65 to 67.
The CEO is covered by the personal insurance schemes health insurance, life insurance, disability pension, lump-sum payment in the event of disability, and a scheme covering occupational diseases and occupational and non-occupational accidents. In addition, he is provided with a travel Insurance covering him and his family.
Other compensation elementsThe CEO is granted benefits in kind according to the applicable market standard, the main element being a fixed car allowance of USD 19,960 (NOK 207,000) annually.
Remuneration of other members of the Group Executive Board in 2025 Total direct compensation split 2025 Average of other GEB membersAnnual base salary
The annual base salaries for the members of Group Executive Board are shown in the table below. An annual adjustment of 4.37 percent was applied to the base salary as of 1 June 2025 for the members of the Group Executive Board.
The average annual salary adjustment for employees in Yara's Norwegian companies as of June 1, 2025 was 4.37 percent. The average salary increases for Yara Group Executive Board was USD 22 thousand (NOK 229 thousand). The average salary increase for the other employees in Yara's Norwegian companies was USD 4.1 thousand (NOK 43 thousand).
Effective 1 October 2025, EVP, Global Plants & Operational Excellence Johan Labby's area of responsibility was expanded to include local plants previously managed by the regions. To compensate for this increased responsibility, his base salary was raised by a total of 25 percent, which included the annual salary adjustment of 4.37 percent.
Local Market Allowance and the Additional Share-Based Remuneration for regional EVPs To reduce the retention risk for the regional EVP positions, a local market allowance was added as a new element in the respective compensation packages starting in January 2023. An additional share-based remuneration component was added beginning in January 2024.The Local Market Allowance and the Additional Share-Based Remuneration for regional EVPs are both linked to the position, meaning that the EVPs receive such compensation only for the period which they hold this position. Furthermore, this compensation is not included in the basis for calculating the allocation of share-based remuneration, the Short-Term Incentive Plan payouts or pension contributions. For 2025, the annual Local Market Allowance for the three regional EVP positions (EVP Europe, EVP Americas, and EVP Africa & Asia) was EUR 50 thousand (approximately USD 57 thousand) respectively, and the annual allocation of Additional Share-Based Remuneration for regional EVPs equaled the net after-tax amount of EUR 50 thousand (USD 57 thousand).
The shares allocated are subject to a lock-in period and cannot be sold while the employee remains a member of the Group Executive Board. If the employee steps down from the Group Executive Board and assumes another position in Yara, a lock-in period of three years applies to all shares acquired through the Additional Share-Based Remuneration for regional EVPs, starting from the time the employee leaves the Group Executive Board. If the employee leaves Yara, any shares still under the lock-in period must be returned, regardless of whether the employee resigns, is dismissed by the company, or enters into a termination agreement with the company.
Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)The target payout for the members of the Group Executive Board is 20 percent of their base salary. The payout is capped at 25 percent of annual base salary, including vacation pay where applicable.
Share-Based Remuneration (SBR)Members of the Group Executive Board were entitled to and received share-based remuneration representing a fixed percentage (30 percent) of annual base salary.
To support alignment between the members of the Group Executive Board and shareholder interests, it is
expected that members of the Group Executive Board who participate in the SBR Program, every year, at a minimum - in addition to the shares received through the SBR Program - invest in Yara shares an amount equal to the lower of the short-term incentive payout for the preceding year or the value of the shares received as Share-Based Remuneration for the relevant year. Such investments should continue until the shareholding amounts to the total compensation as defined in the Yara Executive Remuneration Report (base salary, Share-Based Remuneration, Short-Term Incentive Plan, pension plan benefits, other compensation elements such as internet connection, company car or car allowance, Local Market Allowance, and Additional Share-Based Remuneration). Furthermore, it is also expected that members of the Group Executive Board do not sell any Yara shares as long as they remains members of the Group Executive Board.
Pension plans and personal insurance plansChrystel Monthean and Luis Alfredo Pérez are members of the Yara IEC AG Pension Plan for Global Assignees. This is a DC pension plan with employer contributions equal to 20 percent of base salary.
Mónica Andrés Enríquez and Jorge Noval are both members of the Yara Iberian S.A.U. Company-Paid Pension Plan. This is a DC pension plan with employer contributions above Spanish Social Security ceiling.
Johan Labby is a member of the company-paid DC pension plan applicable to the employees of Yara Belgium S.A.
Other members of the Group Executive Board are included in Yara's plans for employees in Norway. Since 2006, Yara in Norway has transitioned from defined-benefit pension plans to DC pension plan and simplified the pension plans. This work was completed in 2015, and new hires are now enrolled in one DC pension plan covering salary up to 12 times the Norwegian Social Security Base Amount (G).
The members of the Group Executive Board employed in Norway are covered by the personal insurance schemes applicable to Yara employees in Norway. Three members on international assignments during 2025 (Chrystel Monthean, Fernanda Lopes Larsen and Luis Alfredo Pérez) were covered by insurance schemes according to Yara's Global Mobility Policy. Mónica Andrés and Jorge Noval are covered by the personal insurance schemes applicable to Yara employees in Spain.
Other compensation elements for CEO and other membersThe CEO and the other members of the Group Executive Board are granted benefits in kind according to the applicable local market standard. These are typically cell phone, internet connection, and company car, alternatively fixed car allowance. The three members on international assignments were granted allowances and benefits in accordance with Yara's Global Mobility Policy.

Application of performance criteria in the Short-Term Incentive PlanThe Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) contributes to realizing Yara's strategy, long-term value creation, and capital allocation policy. The plan sets stretched annual goals covering the dimensions People, Planet, Profit and Resource based on Yara's communicated strategic goals.
The annual goals are divided into two categories: Company Performance and Strategic Focus Areas, as further described below. If all stretched goals are met with a 100 percent performance score, the CEO and other members of the Group Executive Board will receive a target bonus of 20 percent of base salary. The maximum gross payout before tax is 25 percent of base salary in the event that the average weighted performance score is 125 percent. The maximum performance score each KPI in the Company performance scorecard and each milestone in the Strategic focus areas can get is 125 percent.
In the Board's total STIP performance evaluation, in addition to assessing performance against the factors described below, the Board will place emphasis on the difficulty of achieving the results, any changes in external non-controllable factors that were not anticipated at the beginning of the year, and ensuring that the results have been achieved in accordance with Yara's values and ethical principles.
Company PerformanceESRS 2, GOV-3; E1 Governance §13
The table below presents the Company Performance indicators established to drive performance for 2025, in alignment with Yara`s strategic goals. Each indicator carries individual weight, and the weighted sum of the performance score for each KPI determines the overall outcome as a percentage of base salary. The maximum bonus for Company Performance is 15 percent of base salary.

The score on Strategic Focus Areas for the year represented a STIP payout for the year equal to 9.1 percent of base salary. The individual factors contributed the following weighted scores to the bonus:

All four milestones were reached with more than 100 percent success
Discretionary evaluation of the total performance2025 was characterized by strong efforts throughout the organization to deliver on the targets that were set in the Fixed Cost and Capex Reduction Program and for increased production volumes with increased reliability. The Board highlighted the following regarding the company performance during the year:
Value CreationThe organization significantly exceeded the cost reduction and capex targets established in the Fixed Cost and Capex Reduction Program through strong, company-wide effort. The performance of these two elements contributed to an estimated increase in market capitalization of 1.5 billion USD.
Operational ExcellenceDelivery and production improved during the year despite the internal restructuring and irrespective of an increase in the market prize for fertilizer and thereby expected lower demand.
Legacy KPIsThe KPI targets for the year were set according to the five-year long-term targets for 2025, which were established in 2020. However, these targets became less relevant to the strategy due to the focus on the Fixed Cost and Capex Reduction Program.
Due to the extraordinary situation arising from the active decision to reprioritize in line with the Fixed Cost and Capex Reduction Program and the strong overachievement of the program targets, the Board decided to honor the CEO with an additional discretionary reward equal to 2 percent of his base salary as part of the total STIP performance evaluation for the year. This brought the total 2025 short-term incentive bonus payout to the CEO to 22 percent of his Base Salary. The CEO decided to honor the other members of the Group Executive Board with the same percentage.

How total compensation complies with the Guidelines for remuneration of the GEB and contributes to the long-term performance of the YaraPurpose Description and link to the strategy Value
Base salary
Minimum expected remuneration for doing the job.
Share-Based Remuneration (SBR)
Support the alignment between executives and shareholder interests and ensures retention of key talents.
Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
Incentivizing achievement of short-term business targets aligned with realizing Yara's strategy, its long-term value creation and capital allocation policy.
Pension plan benefits
Providing security for post-retirement and aligns the remuneration package with market practice.
Other benefits
Providing security for the employee and aligns the remuneration package with market practice
The base salary should be competitive and fair to attract and retain the talents needed to manage and develop the business. The base salary is reviewed annually and may in addition be reviewed if scope of responsibility is materially changed. Reviews of base salary are based on annual salary adjustment for employees in Yara International ASA and Norwegian subsidiaries and Benchmark of Executive Management Salaries in peer companies.
For the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, Yara GEB voluntarily abstained from the annual salary adjustment.
Conditional on Yara's net result excluding special items and currency gain/loss being positive in sum over the last three years, SBR may be awarded by the Board on an annual basis.
A three-year lock-in period applies, starting at the time of grant. It is also expected that GEB members do not sell any Yara shares as long as they are members of the GEB. It is furthermore expected that members of the GEB that participate in the SBR Program, every year as a minimum -in addition to the shares received as part of the SBR - invest in Yara shares an amount equaling the lowest amount received as net, after tax short-term incentive payout for the preceding year or the value of the shares when received as SBR for the relevant year. Such investments should be made until the shareholding amounts to Total compensation as described in the Yara Executive Remuneration Report (base salary, share-based remuneration, short-term incentive plan, pension plan benefits, other compensation elements such as internet connection, company car or car allowance, local market allowance, and additional share-based remuneration).
The SBR Program aims to drive long-term value creation aligned with the company's strategy.
The Board sets the annual STIP Scorecard for the CEO, including the goals and targets, respective weights, and predefined performance scale. The CEO sets the STIP Scorecard that applies to the other members of GEB.
The goals are stretched and reflects the business objectives to achieve the company's long-term strategic targets.
Pension plans in Yara should be defined-contribution (DC plans and aligned with local legislation and market practice. For employees in Norway who have joined GEB after December 2015, contributions to the pension plan have been capped at salaries equivalent to 12 times the Norwegian Social Security Base Amount (G), currently USD 13 thousand.
Executives are granted benefits in kind according to the applicable market standard. These are typically cell phone, internet connection, and company car, alternatively fixed car allowance.
In the event of an international assignment contract, the executive and family will be entitled to allowances and benefits in accordance with Yara's Global Mobility Policy.
GEB members on Norwegian contracts are entitled to a severance pay equal to six months basic salary on certain conditions, calculated from the end of the notice period. Other income the executive receives during the severance pay period will be deducted.
Focusing on peer companies in applicable labor markets
The SBR grant equals 30 percent of the base salary
Performance according to the stretched goals gives a STIP reward equal to 20 percent of annual base salary. Maximum reward is capped at 25 percent of base salary.
Pension plans are aligned with local market standards
Other benefits are aligned with local market standards
