Management Board Members

The body authorised to determine the remuneration policy for members of the Management Board of Budimex SA is the Supervisory Board. The policy defines all types of remuneration, in particular, fixed remuneration, performance-based remuneration, retirement benefit schemes and retirement benefits, and long-term incentive schemes.

In addition, the Supervisory Board performs all labour-law based activities in relations between Budimex SA and members of the Management Board. Employment contracts with members of the Management Board are signed by the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board on behalf of the Supervisory Board.

Members of the Management Board of Budimex SA (“Company”), in connection with the work performed and position occupied on the Management Board, are employed at either Budimex SA or at subsidiary companies where they receive remuneration based on an employment contract concluded for a fixed term of office, with a termination notice period resulting from the Labour Code provisions. In addition, the employment contracts provide for severance pay in the amount of 6-12 average monthly salaries, depending on the position, in the case of removal or non-appointment for the next term of office of the Management Board for reasons due to the Company. The amount of the severance pay also depends on the length of the termination notice period — the sum of the basic salary for the termination period and the severance pay must not be higher than 6 or, respectively, 12 times the basic salary as at the date of termination of employment. Where the contract is terminated due to an employee’s resignation or his/her wilful misconduct to the detriment of the Company, severance pay is not paid and only the termination notice period resulting from the applicable Labour Code provisions remains in effect.

In addition, Members of the Management Board of Budimex SA – except for the Chief HR Officer, who has been working in the Company since December 2015 – have concluded, with the Company or the company paying their remuneration, separate non-competition agreements which are valid for a period of 12 months after the date of dissolution of the respective employment contracts. During the period of validity of the non-competition clause, the Company will pay the employee 75 per cent of his/her basic monthly remuneration if the termination of the employment contract is initiated by the Company, or 25 per cent of the basic monthly remuneration if the termination is initiated by the employee. Contractual penalties have been established for the breach of the non-competition clause by a member of the Management Board.

Information on the remuneration of Members of the Management Board was presented in note 40.1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Budimex Group and in note 40 to the financial statements of Budimex SA.

The remuneration of Management Board members is composed of the following items:

  • fixed remuneration – basic monthly salary,
  • performance-based remuneration (annual bonus) which is composed of the following elements: task-related bonus which is determined on the basis of an annual assessment of task completion, and ratio-related bonus relating to the business activities of the Budimex Group,
  • share incentive scheme of the Ferrovial Group called “Ferrovial’s objective-related share incentive scheme” ("Plan przyznania akcji związanych z celami Ferrovialu”) which consists in conditional awarding of rights to acquire shares in the parent company. Management Board members who have been employed at the Company for at least 36 months will be eligible to subscribe for the shares of the parent company. Both the fact of awarding and the number of awarded shares depends on achieving economic parameters budgeted by the Ferrovial Group in the following three years and on the eligible persons’ remaining in Management Board posts at the date of awarding the shares.
