(14) The amounts solely relate to the remuneration of the executive director and exclude his compensation as CEO
that is separately disclosed below.
When determining a compensation
package, the RNC considers all of
these elements.
In general, these components
can be categorized as either fixed
or variable. The base salary and
other benefits, retirement and post-
employment benefits are considered
fixed. The annual bonus and the dif
ferent components of the long-term
incentives are considered variable.
Delhaize Group believes that the cur
rent proportion of fixed versus varia
ble pay offers its executives the right
incentives to optimize both the short
term and long-term obiectives of the
Company and its shareholders.
The following graphs illustrate the
proportion of fixed versus variable
compensation for both the CEO and
other members of Executive Man
agement. These charts reflect base
salary, annual bonus and perfor
mance cash components granted in
2012.
FIXED VS VARIABLE
COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO
variable: 63.7%
FIXED VS VARIABLE COMPENSATION FOR
THE OTHER MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE
MANAGEMENT
variable: 63.2%
The tables used in the following sec
tions of this report are based on the
actual payments received during
the year and not on the amounts
granted for the year, i.e., 2012
payments include cash received
based on annual bonus earned for
2011 and performance cash grants
received over the performance
period 2009-2011.
Base Salary
Base salary is a key component of
the compensation package, both on
its own and because annual target
awards and long-term incentive
awards are denominated as per
centages of base salary.
Base salaries are established and
adiusted as a result of an annual
review process. This review process
considers market practices. The fol
lowing table summarizes base sal
ary paid to the CEO and the other
members of Executive Management
for the period 2010-2012.
