Remuneration Committee financial

"approved by the Remuneration Committee on January 8, 2026"

A remuneration committee is a group of independent board members who design, approve and oversee pay packages for a company’s executives and directors. Think of them as the household budget planners for top management: they decide salaries, bonuses and stock awards so pay rewards performance and limits excessive risk. For investors, their role matters because compensation policies affect management incentives, business strategy and the long‑term value shareholders receive.
