The management of Cell Impact consists of people with many years of relevant industrial experience and competence to run strategic and operational activities.

Remuneration to senior executives 

According to the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives, the company shall strive to offer its senior executives remuneration on market levels. Remuneration shall comprise the following elements: fixed base salary, variable salary, pension benefits, fringe benefits and severance pay.

The remuneration shall be based on the importance of the duties and the skills, experience and performance required. Fixed salary is subject to an annual review to ensure that the salary is market level and competitive. 

Remuneration to the CEO consists of a base salary and the possibility to receive a bonus of no more than six months’ salary per year. The payment of a bonus is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The CEO is also entitled to pension provisions corresponding to 30 percent of the base salary. The retirement age is 65.  

Fringe benefits are offered to a limited extent, mostly in the form of company cars and insurance for the Management Team. 

If the company terminates the CEO for any other reason than because the CEO has grossly neglected his or her duties, the CEO is entitled to severance pay corresponding to six times the base salary (monthly salary), which will be paid over six months.  

However, severance pay is not payable in the case of retirement. The CEO is bound by a non-compete clause that applies for 12 months after the end of employment. If the company invokes the non-compete clause, the CEO shall receive remuneration of no more than 60 percent of the previous monthly salary over the 12-month period (during the period for which the non-compete is invoked). However, no remuneration shall be payable for the period when severance pay is provided.
