Salary and employment conditions for employees

The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the General Meeting.

Sensys’ incentive program and variable remuneration (from Annual Report 2023)

Variable remuneration group management
Group management consists of the CEO and other Senior Management (CFO, CCO and CTO).

Variable remuneration
The agreement for the CEO has been in place since 2017. The variable remuneration is based on net sales and EBITDA, and is subject to an upper limit of 50% annual salary.
Based on the performance measurement of 2023 an amount of TSEK 1,666 (1,559) has been accrued and will be paid out in 2024.

The variable remuneration for other Senior Management is based on net sales and EBITDA, and is subject to an upper limit of 50% annual base salary. Based on the performance measurement of 2023 an amount of TSEK 1,678 (1,476) has been accrued and will be paid out in 2024.

Share based payment
The company has two share based payment programs.

The program of 2017-2020 was granted to the CEO, free of charge. The share options are subject to three year vesting (October 2017 - September 2020) that entitle to acquire not more than 6,000,000 shares in the Company. The exercise price of the share options is SEK 0.81. The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to an exercise of options under the program is 7,980,000 shares (including exercise of warrants for hedging of social security costs), corresponding to a maximum dilution of approximately 0.7 percent. In 2022 the two year exiercise period ended for the share options granted under Plan 2017-2020. The share option plan has been exercised by the CEO. Due to the high cost assiciated with the execution of this Share Option Plan the board and the CEO have agreed to transform the value into a short term incentive related to organizational development. The short term incentive can be awarded taking into consideration the maximum agreed short term incitenive for the CEO of 50% of base salery. For the year 2022 the CEO was awarded 580 TSEK for the development of the organisation.

In 2021 the general meeting of shareholders approved the implementation of a long-term incentive program in the form of a stock-option plan for up to 50 key executives and employees (“LTIP 2021”). LTIP 2021 is a program that spans over three award years and under which the participants will be granted, free of charge, share-options that entitle the acquisition of up to 44.0 million shares in the Company subject to three-year vesting periods. As part of the implementation a total of up to 55.0 million shares (including 11 million shares acquired through warrants for the hedging of social security costs) may be issued.

In 2021 37.7 million share-options were granted to employees with an exercise price of SEK 1.28. The company wishes to promote share ownership but also to minimize dilution and therefore intends to “net settle” exercised options, i.e. the participating employee receives the value of the option gains in shares.

The value of the share-options have been calculated based on the Black and Scholes Model using a volatility based on the average deviation in the share price in 2021 up to the grant date. The used volatility in the model amounted to 37.5 percent. The total cost recorded in the result of 2022 amounted to SEK 3.4 million of which SEK 2.7 million has been recorded in equity and 0.7 million as a social security liability on the balance sheet.

The CEO has been awarded 5,500,000 share options and other Senior Management have been awarded 2,750,000 share options each.
