Director Compensation

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
AEV’s director compensation framework is designed to support fairness, transparency, and alignment with the Group’s long-term strategy and governance standards.

HOW COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED
The GCRPT Committee oversees the review of director and key executive remuneration through a transparent and collaborative process.

Recommendations are presented, discussed, and considered for approval during the Committee’s first meeting each year.

This process helps ensure that compensation practices remain aligned with the Group’s strategy, performance, and business priorities, while supporting the attraction, retention, and engagement of qualified leaders.

Directors do not participate in discussions or deliberations involving their own remuneration.

Any proposed changes to Board remuneration are subject to shareholder approval and are disclosed through the appropriate regulatory and public reporting channels.

In no case may the Board’s total annual compensation exceed 10% of the Company’s net income before income tax for the preceding year.

The Company seeks to provide meaningful disclosure on director and executive remuneration while respecting privacy and complying with applicable laws and regulations.
