Accounting policies
Short-term employee benefits include, apart from the base salary, also the part of the variable remuneration component paid in cash which is not deferred.
The deferred part of the variable remuneration component paid in cash was recognized as other long-term benefits.
Non-deferred and deferred remuneration components granted in the form of financial instruments i.e. phantom shares (for which conversion into cash is carried out after an additional period of retention) are recognized as share-based payments settled in cash in accordance with the principles described below.
Variable remuneration components of key management personnel in the Group
Variable remuneration components are granted in the form of: non-deferred remuneration (in the first year after the calendar year constituting an appraisal period), and deferred remuneration (for the next three years after the first year of the appraisal period), whereas both the non-deferred and deferred remuneration is awarded in equal parts in cash and in the form of financial instruments, i.e. phantom shares (for which conversion into cash is carried out after an additional period of retention).
The component of remuneration in the form of the financial instrument is converted into phantom shares after granting a particular component – taking into consideration the median of the daily average prices of the Bank’s shares (Volume Weighted Average Price) on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, published in the Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg information systems – from the fourth quarter of the appraisal period. Next, after a period of retention and deferral period, the shares are converted into cash – taking into consideration the median of the daily average prices of the Bank’s shares (Volume Weighted Average Price) on the Warsaw Stock Exchange from the third quarter of the calendar year preceding the payment (the Management Board) and the third quarter of the calendar year in which the payment is made (other persons in management positions), published in the Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg information systems.
The deferred remuneration may be reduced in the event of deterioration in the financial performance of the Bank or a Group Company, respectively, a loss incurred by the Bank / Company or deterioration of other variables related to the performance in the period of appraisal of key management personnel and results of the organizational units/cells supervised or managed by these people, which were revealed after the appraisal period.
