4. Remuneration to the members of the Board of Directors and to the members of the Nomination Committee
Remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Nomination Committee are decided by the General Meeting.
The Nomination Committee aims that the remuneration to the Board of Directors reflects the Board of Directors' responsibilities, competence, time consumption and the complexity of the business and that the Board of Directors have remuneration at market terms. The Nomination Committee also seeks for meetings-based remuneration for the members in the company's governing bodies, elected by the General Meeting.
The starting point for the Nomination Committee is that Protector must be competitive in terms of compensation for the Board members. The Nomination Committee therefore proposes a proportional increase in the remunerations

The Nomination Committee encourages the members of the governing bodies to reinvest parts of the remuneration in Protector shares.
Attendance fees for the Board's subcommittees and remuneration for the Nomination Committee are proposed unchanged.
