Remuneration report

To realize our strategy and create the long-term value we aim for, it is essential that AkzoNobel can attract and retain high caliber members to its Board of Management and Supervisory Board. The remuneration policies for each of these boards support this essential condition to our success.

The Remuneration Policy for the Board of Management (the “Policy”) was first adopted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2005. It has undergone several amendments since then, most recently in 2018. Details about its implementation in 2019 can be found in Remuneration for the Board of Management.

The Remuneration Policy for the Supervisory Board was adopted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2014 and will, with limited changes, be submitted for approval to the AGM in 2020. Details about the implementation of the current policy during 2019 are in Remuneration for the Supervisory Board.

The implementation of the remuneration of both the Board of Management and Supervisory Board has been fully compliant with the applicable policies. The revised European directive on the encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement (SRD II) and its codification in Dutch law have been taken into account in the disclosure presented in this report.
