The nomination committee's proposal to the annual general meeting in TOMRA Systems ASA, 27 April 2023

The nomination committee in TOMRA Systems ASA consists of the following members:

  • Rune Selmar (Chair)
  • Hild F. Kinder
  • Anders Mörck
  • Tine Fossland

The nomination committee has since the last annual general meeting, held on 28 April 2022, met with the chairperson of the Board, shareholder and employee elected Board members and the Group's CEO and CFO. The committee has evaluated the Board's work and composition.

It is the committee's impression that the Board is well functioning. All Board members are active contributors and important competence areas like strategy development, marketing, technology, finance, risk and control are well covered by the Board.

The committee has in its nomination put emphasis on the need for broad and relevant competence within the Board, as well as continuity.

The committee has communicated directly with the Group's largest shareholders, as well as invited for proposals thru TOMRA's webpages.

To increase the Board members shareholding, the committee established at the annual general meeting in 2018 a system, where the shareholder elected Board members commit themself to invest at least 20% of their gross yearly Board fee in the company's shares, up until their holding equals at least one year gross Board fee. When the holding exceeds one year Board fee, the members are free to sell shares, as long as the total shareholding remains above one year's gross Board fee. The transactions should always follow the insider trading rules and guidance established by management.

The committee is of the opinion that the system has worked according to the intentions and recommends that it is continued in the upcoming period.

Matter 10: Determination of remuneration for the Board of Directors

The nomination committee proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

«For the period May 2023 to May 2024, the members of the Board of Directors are remunerated as follows (last year's figures in brackets):

Chairperson of the Board:

NOK 1 071 000 (NOK 1 030 000)

External Board members:

NOK 563 500 (NOK 541 613)

External Board members are required to purchase TOMRA shares equal to 20% of their annual gross Board fee. The requirement no longer applies once the value of the shareholding exceeds the gross annual Board fee. Excessive shares might then be sold. Guidelines for purchase and eventual sale of shares are established by management.

In addition, chairpersons and external members of the compensation committee and the sustainability committee are to be given an annual remuneration of NOK 67 500 (NOK 65 000) and NOK 41 500 (NOK 40 000), respectively.

In addition, chairperson and external members of the audit committee are to be given an annual remuneration of NOK 93 500 (NOK 90 000) and NOK 62 500 (NOK 60 000), respectively.

Employee elected Board members receive a remuneration of NOK 260 500 (NOK 250 576) for the period May 2023 to May 2024.»

The remuneration has been adjusted with ~4%, reflecting the general inflation.

The remuneration for employee elected Board members is assumed to cover board responsibilities and time for preparation. Time spent in board meetings is assumed to be covered by the employees' normal wages.

Matter 11: Determination of remuneration for the nomination committee

The nomination committee proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

«Anders Mørch is employed by Investment AB Latour (Latour) and is nominated to the nomination committee by Latour, which is the largest shareholder in TOMRA Systems ASA. According to Latour's internal policies, members appointed by them, should not receive a separate compensation for this.

For the other members of the nomination committee, the committee suggests:

For the period May 2023 to May 2024, the chairperson and the independent members of the nomination committee are to be given an annual compensation of NOK 109 000 (NOK 105 000) and NOK 73 000 (NOK 70 000), respectively.»
