According to the „Policy of Remuneration of Members of the Supervisory Board of Bank Millennium S.A.”, adopted by the General Meeting, members of the Supervisory Board of the Bank are entitled to monthly remuneration for sitting on the Supervisory Board. The amount of the remuneration is defined by a resolution adopted by the General Meeting with the consideration of the principles stipulated in the Policy, including the principle of its adequacy to the scale of the Bank’s operation. The remuneration may be diversified in view of the function performed in the Supervisory Board and should be correlated with the involvement in the work of the Supervisory Board and the level of remuneration received by members of supervisory bodies of institutions with a similar scope and scale of operation. Irrespective of the remuneration for sitting on the Supervisory Board, members of standing committees of the Supervisory Board are entitled to separate remuneration in connection with the tasks performed by them as part of these committees. If the Supervisory Board delegates its member to individually exercise supervision on a permanent basis, the Supervisory Board may assign to such Supervisory Board member additional remuneration for the duration of the delegation, however its monthly amount cannot exceed 100% of the base remuneration for sitting on the Supervisory Board. In case of standing committees of the Supervisory Board the remuneration is payable for participation in their meetings. The total remuneration due to a Supervisory Board member for participation in meetings of committees of the Supervisory Board in a given accounting year cannot exceed 100% of his base remuneration for sitting on the Supervisory Board of the Bank. In connection with remuneration paid, the Bank shall make appropriate deductions under relevant legal regulations. Each of the Supervisory Board members may make a declaration to refrain from collection of all or part of the remuneration. Declarations to such effect shall be submitted to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
