The Board of Directors’ remuneration policy was revised after Ernst & Young (CIS) B.V. conducted research on board remuneration policies at Russian companies of comparable scale in 2016. The research results were used to develop a new calculation methodology setting a base remuneration of each member of the Board of Directors at RUB 3.51 mn, which is in line with the market average. This approach allowed the Company to retain and attract professionals to the Company’s Board of Directors.
