The Remuneration Committee comprises David Marcus as Chairman and David Chance and Mia Brunell Livfors. The Board of Directors commissions the work of the Remuneration Committee. The responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee include issues related to salaries, pension plans, bonus programmes and the employment terms for the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Management within MTG. The Committee also advises the Board on long-term incentive schemes.
Mia Brunell Livfors’ seat on the Remuneration Committee does not comply with the Code, which requires that only Directors who are independent of the Company and its Executive Management should sit on the Remuneration Committee. The Directors however consider that it is in the best interest of the Group that an exception be made in this respect because Mia Brunell Livfors is a shareholder representative on the Board of MTG with significant experience in establishing and defining remuneration principles across many listed companies. The Remuneration Committee is still comprised of a majority of independent Directors. Mia Brunell Livfors replaced Cristina Stenbeck during 2007.
