The Uponor Nomination Board proposals to the Annual General Meeting, to be held on 18 March 2021, are the following:
REMUNERATION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

- Chair of the Board - €90,000
- Deputy Chair of the Board - €51,000
- Chair of the Audit Committee - €51,000
- Other members of the Board - €46,000
Approximately 40% of the remuneration is paid by acquiring Uponor Corporation shares in public trading or by conveying Uponor Corporation’s shares held by the company and the rest in cash. Alternatively, the remuneration can be paid fully in cash, in which case the Board member is obliged to use approximately 40% of the amount to acquire Uponor Corporation’s shares in public trading. The yearly Board remuneration shall be paid within two weeks after the publication of the company’s half year report for January-June 2021. In case the full remuneration is paid in cash, a Board member shall make the purchase of shares within two weeks after the publication of the company’s interim report for January-September 2021.

In addition to the above, a remuneration per each actual Board and Committee meeting (excluding decisions without a meeting) is paid, amounting to €600 for meetings held in the country of residence of the member, €1,200 for meetings held elsewhere on the same continent, and €2,400 for meetings held on another continent. Remuneration for telephone meetings equals the remuneration for meetings held in the country of residence of the member.
