V. 過剰な 補償: 回収対象金額

 

被補償対象となる執行役員が受け取った補償額の超過額は、委員会が再計算された金額に基づいてその補償額が計算された場合に被補償対象となる執行役員が受け取るべきであった補償額を差し引いた金額となります。このポリシーの目的のために、補償は、適用される財務報告指標の達成年度において、「受領された」と見なされます。たとえその補償の支払い、付与又は認証がその財務報告年度の終了後に行われた場合でもです。このポリシーに基づき回収する必要がある金額は、税控除前の金額で計算されます。補償の受領日は、その補償に対する受賞条件に依存します。例えば:

 

  a. もし、補償の支給が財務報告基準の達成、全面的または部分的に、に基づく場合、その支給は、その基準が満たされた歳入期間中に受領したものと見なされるでしょう 補助金 もし、補償の株式支給が発生した場合 満たされたとき;
