Regulation 82 Variable elements of remuneration

(1) For variable elements of remuneration, the following principles shall apply in addition to, and under the same conditions as, the requirements specified in Regulation 80(3):

(a) where remuneration is performance related, the total amount of remuneration is based on a combination of the assessment of -

(i) the performance of the individual, taking into account financial and non-financial criteria,

(ii) the performance of the business unit concerned, and

(iii) of the overall results of the institution;

(b) the assessment of the performance is set in a multi-year framework in order to ensure that the assessment process is based on longer-term performance and that the actual payment of performance-based components of remuneration is spread over a period which takes account of the underlying business cycle of the institution concerned and its business risks;

(c) the total variable remuneration does not limit the ability of the institution to strengthen its capital base;

(d) guaranteed variable remuneration is not consistent with sound risk management or the pay-for-performance principle and shall not be a part of prospective remuneration plans;
