Bakkafrost implemented the share-based bonus scheme in 2021 for all employees in
the group. According to the scheme, all employees are awarded a combination of
free Bonus Shares and Restricted Shares with a 3-year vesting period. The award
is dependent on achieved performance against certain profitability and
sustainability KPIs, and subject to Bakkafrost group's adjusted earnings per
share being above a certain threshold. The Bonus Shares and Restricted Shares
are awarded quarterly as restricted share units which are released if the annual
general meeting resolves to pay dividends to the shareholders for the year the
bonus concerns. However, the Restricted Shares units are not released to the
employees until after the 3-year vesting period, subject to the employee still
being employed at that time.
