Remuneration policy for the Supervisory Board

Remuneration policy for the Supervisory Board

The remuneration of the Supervisory Board members is fixed and not dependent on the company's results. The remuneration, which was set by the General Meeting of Shareholders in 2011, comprises a fixed annual gross amount for the chairman and a fixed annual amount for the other members, as well as additional fixed annual gross amounts for committee memberships within the Supervisory Board. The remunerations are adjusted in line with the wage developments under the collective labour agreement for network companies. The members of the Supervisory Board are also entitled to an allowance for travel and accommodation expenses. Alliander does not provide any personal loans, guarantees and so forth to the members of its Supervisory Board. Liability insurance has been secured for the members of the Supervisory Board.

The WNT restricts the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board in their capacity as supervisors of network operators. The remuneration policy applicable to the Supervisory Board exceeds the maximum WNT limit. A four-year transitional period is applicable to existing arrangements. The Supervisory Board has opted to make use of this transitional period. Supervisory Board members appointed or reappointed after 1 January 2013 are subject to the WNT remuneration limits. Effective from 1 January 2015, the WNT limits the maximum remuneration of the Supervisory Board chairman and Supervisory Board members to, respectively, 15% and 10% of the maximum WNT limit applicable to Liander.

An overview of the total remuneration awarded to the members of the Supervisory Board can be found in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
