Remuneration of the Management Board

In 2016 the Company attracted the world-wide renowned consultant Ernst & Young (CIS) BV (the Moscow branch), which conducted a survey of the remuneration practice regarding top of large Russian companies with comparable business size. Based on the results of the analysis, the procedure for calculating the remuneration of members of the Management Board of the Company was substantially revised.

The motivation system is based on the following principles: transparency, balance (observing the balance of interests of the shareholders of the Company, and the interest of management in achieving the Company's objectives in the long-term and short-term), objectivity (the amount of remuneration directly depends on the results of the Company's activities and the implementation of significant projects).

The current model of remuneration provides for a long-term motivation programme for the Management Board with reference to the growth of the value of shares and the fulfilment of key performance indicators of the Programme established by the Board of Directors of the Company. The programme is designed to more closely link the interests of the management and shareholders of the Company in the steady growth of the Company's capitalisation and business development. The main objectives and principles of the Programme: motivation of the Company's management for the implementation of strategic tasks and openness to shareholders, remuneration is determined taking into account the level of achievement of KPI of the Programme, a single mechanism for calculating remuneration and equal conditions for obtaining compensation.

The amount and terms of compensation to the members of the Management Board in connection with the early termination of the contract are determined by a document approved by the Board of Directors regulating the payment of remuneration and compensation to the members of the Management Board of PJSC RusHydro. Golden parashutes for the early termination of a contract in the Company are not provided.
