Equity-based compensation

Long-term equity-based remuneration is a means to attract and retain staff with key competences. It also builds long-term commitment to SEB and creates an incentive for the employees to become shareholders of SEB. The equity-based programmes provide scope for risk adjustment for both current and future risks, and thus the final outcome can subsequently be reduced in part or in full, in compliance with the rules of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.

The 2023 Annual General Meeting approved three long-term equity programmes for 2023:

a) SEB All Employee Programme 2023 (AEP) for all employees in most of the countries where SEB operates,

b) SEB Share Deferral Programme 2023 (SDP) for the Group Executive Committee (GEC), certain other senior managers and key employees, and

c) SEB Restricted Share Programme 2023 (RSP) for some employees in certain business units.

The proposed programmes allow for risk adjustment for current as well as future risks. The final outcome may therefore be cancelled partly or entirely in accordance with regulations, among other things taking the Bank's result and capital and liquidity required in the business into account.

SEB All Employee Programme 2023 (AEP)

The AEP in brief

SEB All Employee Programme 2023 (AEP) is a programme for all employees (excluding GEC members) in most of the countries where SEB operates. The AEP normally requires, with certain exemptions such as retirement, redundancy and disability, the employee to be employed during three years from allotment of the conditional share rights or conditional deferred amount to be eligible for payment in class A-shares of the Bank or cash adjusted for the SEB A-share's total shareholder return, TSR, as applicable.

For employees in Sweden, the individual maximum outcome is capped at SEK 75,000. For employees in other eligible countries, the individual maximum outcome is denominated in local currencies and capped at levels ranging from approximately the equivalent of SEK 30,000 to SEK 100,000, depending on country.

General structure and share delivery

Subject to the below conditions, 50 per cent of the outcome is normally paid immediately in cash and 50 per cent is deferred for three years. For employees in Sweden, the deferred part is allocated as conditional share rights. After three years, the conditional share rights are converted and then paid in class A-shares in the Bank. Each conditional share right carries the right to receive one class A-share in the Bank

For employees outside of Sweden, the deferred part is allocated as conditional deferred amount. After three years the deferred amount is adjusted for TSR (i.e. the share price development of the class A-share in the Bank, including reinvested dividends) and paid out in cash.

For the AEP 2023 it is proposed to introduce an option for the employees to choose a pay-out structure as follows:
1.    Pay-out 50% immediately in cash and 50% in shares or TSR adjusted cash after 3 years as described above as default or if no choice is made,
2.    Pay-out 100% in shares or TSR adjusted cash after 3 years with adjusted higher initial allocation, or
3.    Pay-out 100% immediately in cash with adjusted lower allocation.

The adjustment of the initial allocation in option 2 and 3 will be set to ensure similar total cost as if all eligible employees are paid using the default payment structure in option 1.

Should the total outcome under the AEP be below approximately 30 per cent of the maximum outcome, the total outcome may be paid in cash without deferral for all eligible employees.

The holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the deferral period. Thus, the number of conditional share rights will be recalculated during the deferral period, taking the dividend into account. The TSR calculation includes reinvested dividends during the deferral period.

The programme will comprise an obligation for the Bank to deliver a maximum of approximately
9.0 million class A-shares. The expected outcome for the programme is approximately 1.8 million class A-shares.

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2023 (SDP)

The SDP in brief

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2023 (SDP) is a programme for GEC, certain other senior managers and key employees, maximum 1,000 participants in total. The SDP normally requires, with certain exemptions such as retirement, disability and orderly transition, the employee to be employed during three years from allotment to be eligible for payment. A further requirement for GEC and their direct reports is that they hold shares (including share rights for which the ownership has passed to the participant) in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, for GEC equivalent to one-year salary net of taxes, acquired no later than during the initial three-year vesting period (see “General structure and share delivery” below). If these requirements are not fulfilled, the share rights may be forfeited. For GEC members, the initial allotment may not exceed 100 per cent of the base pay.

General structure and share delivery

For GEC and other senior managers, ownership of 50 per cent of the conditional share rights is transferred to the participant after a qualification period of three years, 50 per cent after a qualification period of five years. For other participants, ownership of 100 per cent of the conditional share rights is transferred after three years, unless they are deemed Identified staff, then 50 per cent of the ownership is transferred after four years. After each respective qualification period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. Each share right carries the right to receive one class A-share in the Bank.

For participants in countries mainly outside of SEB's European locations, the structure described above remains the same, but the allocation is deferred as a conditional deferred amount and, after the holding period, paid in cash adjusted for the TSR, including any dividend distribution during the holding and exercise period.

In order to facilitate share ownership and strengthening the shareholder alignment, in addition to the above-mentioned exercise period, the exercise period for GEC members is extended during the period that they are members of GEC.

The holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the holding and exercise period. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated during this period, taking the dividend into account. The TSR calculation includes reinvested dividends during this period.

The programme will comprise an obligation for the Bank to deliver a maximum of approximately
4.2 million class A-shares.

SEB Restricted Share Programme 2023 (RSP)

The RSP in brief

SEB Restricted Share Programme 2023 (RSP) is a programme for selected employees on the level below senior executives within certain business units of SEB, maximum 1,000 participants in total. The RSP requires that the participant has not been dismissed by SEB or ceased its employment with SEB and has taken up, e.g., a new employment, board membership, partnership, assignment or is directly or indirectly engaged in a business which might have an adverse effect for the Bank before the end of the qualification period, to be eligible for payment.

General structure and share delivery

The ownership of the share rights is transferred immediately to the participants. The ownership of the conditional share rights is transferred to participants that are IDS, pro rata after qualification periods of one to four years. The ownership of the conditional share rights is transferred to other participants, pro rata after qualification periods of one to three years. Each share right carries the right to receive one class A-share in the Bank.

The qualification periods of the programme have been set to periods shorter than three years in order to comply with mandatory remuneration requirements applicable to banks.

After the transfer of the ownership there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of six months.

For participants in countries mainly outside SEB's European locations, the structure described above is applied, but the allocation is deferred as a conditional deferred amount and after the holding period, paid in cash adjusted for the TSR, including any dividend distribution during the holding and exercise period.

The holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the holding and exercise periods. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated during the these periods, taking the dividend into account. The TSR calculation includes reinvested dividends during the these periods.

The programme will comprise an obligation for the Bank to deliver a maximum of approximately
1.4 million class A-shares.

Costs and risk mitigation

For information on the costs associated with the RSP and actions to hedge the financial risks of the RSP, please see “The cost for the programmes” and “Hedging and transfer of shares” below.

Allotment under the programmes

The maximum number of shares that can be transferred under the programmes is 14.6 million. The calculated expected outcome is approximately 6.9 million shares. The maximum number of shares under the programmes equals approximately 0.66 per cent including and 0.25 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme (expected outcome equals approximately 0.31 per cent including and 0.23 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme) of the total number of shares in the Bank. The delivery of class A-shares is proposed to be effectuated with existing shares. Allotment under the programmes shall be made before the 2024 AGM.

The number of class A-shares which each participant may receive in the programmes may be subject to recalculation under the terms and conditions of the programmes as a consequence of AGM decisions on issues of bonus shares to shareholders, splits, preferential issues and similar measures.

Participation in any of the programmes requires that it is legally and appropriately possible in the jurisdiction concerned and that such participation in the Bank's judgement is possible with reasonable administrative and financial costs.

Shares received and purchased under the programmes are ordinary class A-shares with the right to a dividend. The share rights are not securities that can be sold, pledged or transferred to others.

Taxation

The programmes have been designed in such a way that participants will normally be taxed for the benefit of receiving shares in the income year when the shares are received. The taxable value of the benefit will normally be equal to the closing price for the shares when the shares are received. The value of the benefit is taxed as income from employment for the participant. Thus, social security contributions will in most cases be charged on the benefit amount and be a cost for the employer.

The cost for the programmes

All Employee Programme (AEP)
The maximum annual charge for the deferred part of the AEP (i.e. shares and cash adjusted for TSR) that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 160m, out of which SEK 33m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 65m, out of which SEK 14m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charges during the total programme period in the profit and loss account are SEK 260m.

Share Deferral Programme (SDP)
The maximum annual charge for the SDP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 165m, out of which SEK 38m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 145m, out of which SEK 33m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 580m.

Restricted Share Programme (RSP)
Based on the structure of the RSP, where part of the ownership is transferred immediately and part is distributed pro rata, the annual charge will differ each year during the programme length. The maximum annual charge for the RSP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 105m the first year and SEK 13m the last year, out of which SEK 25m and SEK 3m respectively is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 105m and SEK 13m respectively, out of which SEK 25m and SEK 3m respectively is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 214m.
 
Assumptions

The maximum calculated annual charge is based on the assumptions that the price of the class A- share is SEK 120 and that no participant is leaving SEB during the employment requirement period. Furthermore, it may be noted that should the SEB share price increase from the assumed SEK 120, the increase in maximum calculated annual charge will be approximately SEK 2.5m for every SEK in increase. The part of the programmes that will be settled in cash will create a higher volatility in the income statement since the change in the share price is reported when it occurs.

Previous years' programmes

Share Matching Programme 2012

The programme comprises approximately 400 selected senior managers and key employees and is an extended share savings programme with a higher own investment in SEB Class A-shares with the possibility to receive share rights and additional performance based share rights. The investment amount is pre-determined and capped for each participant and may be performed with cash or with previously owned shares. After the three year performance period the participants receive one share right and a maximum of three performance based share rights for each retained share. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. A further requirement is that the participant remains with SEB during the performance period. 

The programme has a performance period of three years and an exercise period of four years. To motivate participants to keep their share rights after the first day when they can be exercised, the holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the exercise period. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated, after the Annual General Meeting each year during the exercise period, taking the dividend into account.

To reach full outcome of performance based share rights under the programme, two performance criteria, TSR compared to SEB's competitors (1/3 of the total maximum outcome) and TSR compared to long-term interest rate (LTIR) (2/3 of the total maximum outcome), must be met. 

The value of the Share Matching Programme is capped at full vesting under the two performance criteria and a doubled share price based on a pre-determined initial share price. 

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to matching as of December 31, 2022 was 28,597.

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2013

The Group Executive Committee and certain other senior managers and other key employees with critical competences, approximately 300 executives in total, are granted an individual number of conditional share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group and individual target levels outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis and are both financial (return on equity/return on business equity and cost development) and non-financial (customer satisfaction). 

50 per cent of the share rights are delivered to the participant after a vesting period of three years, 50 per cent after a vesting period of five years. There is a requirement for vesting that the participant remains with SEB during the first three years. A further requirement for vesting is that the participant holds shares in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, acquired no later than on a pro-rata basis during the initial three year vesting period. 

After each respective vesting period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank.

The holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the duration of the programme. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated, after the Annual General Meeting each year, taking the dividend into account.

The number of outstanding share rights as of December 31, 2022 was 429.

SEB Share Matching Programme 2013

Approximately 200 selected key business employees with critical competences are offered to participate in a share purchase programme with own investment in SEB Class A-shares with the possibility to receive share rights and additional performance based share rights. The investment amount is based on previous year's performance, pre-determined and capped for each participant. After the three year performance period the participants receive one share right and a maximum of three performance based share rights for each retained share. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. A further requirement is that the participant remains with SEB during the performance period. 

The programme has a performance period of three years and an exercise period of four years. To motivate participants to keep their share rights after the first day when they can be exercised, the holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the exercise period. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated, after the Annual General Meeting each year during the exercise period, taking the dividend into account.

To reach full outcome of performance based share rights under the programme, two performance criteria, total shareholder return (TSR) compared to SEB's competitors (1/3 of the total maximum outcome) and TSR compared to long-term interest rate (LTIR) (2/3 of the total maximum outcome), must be met: 

The value of the SMP is capped at full vesting under the two performance criteria and a doubled share price based on the pre-determined initial share price.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to matching as of December 31, 2022 was 44,147.

SEB Share Deferral programme 2014

The GEC and certain other senior managers and other key employees with critical competences, approximately 600 participants in total, are granted an individual number of conditional share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group, business unit and individual target levels outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis as a mix of the financial targets Return on Equity/Return on Business Equity and cost development and the non-financial target customer satisfaction. For GEC the initial allotment may not exceed 100 per cent of the base pay.

Ownership of 50 per cent of the share rights are transferred to the participant after a vesting period of three years, 50 per cent after a vesting period of five years. After each respective vesting period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. There is a requirement for vesting that the participant remains with SEB during the first three years. A further requirement for vesting is that the participant holds shares in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, for GEC equivalent to one year salary net of taxes, acquired no later than on a pro-rata basis during the initial three year vesting period. 

The holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the duration of the programme. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated, after the Annual General Meeting each year, taking the dividend into account.

The number of outstanding share rights as of December 31, 2022 was 110,049. 

SEB Share Matching Programme 2014

Approximately 200 selected key business employees with critical competences will participate in a share purchase programme with own investment and with the possibility to receive share rights and additional performance based share rights. The investment amount, which is based on previous year's individual performance, pre-determined and capped for each participant, is taken from the cash based variable compensation outcome and mandatory deferred for three years. A determined number of deferral rights are allocated to each participant, one deferral right corresponds to the average market price for one SEB Class A-share during a pre-determined period. After the three year performance period the participants receive one share right in exchange for each deferral right and one matching share right and a maximum of three performance based share rights for each deferral right. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. A further requirement is that the participant remains with SEB during the performance period. 

The programme has a performance period of three years and an exercise period of four years.

To motivate participants to keep their share rights after the first day when they can be exercised, the holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the exercise period. Thus, the number of share rights will be recalculated, after the Annual General Meeting each year during the exercise period, taking the dividend into account.

The outcome of the programme, i.e. the number of performance based share rights received, depends on the extent of fulfilment of two pre-determined performance criteria. 

Performance criteria

To reach full outcome of performance based share rights under the programme, two performance criteria, total shareholder return (the nominal total return to shareholders, comprising share price appreciation and dividends, TSR) compared to SEB's competitors (1/3 of the total maximum outcome) and TSR compared to long-term interest rate (LTIR) (2/3 of the total maximum outcome), must be met: 

The criterion TSR compared to SEB's competitors gives a minimum outcome if the TSR increase for SEB per year equals TSR for a weighted Banking Index. Competitors are weighted 75 per cent Nordic banks and 25 per cent FTSEurofirst300 Banks Index. The outcome is then set at 20 per cent of the maximum outcome under this criterion. Above that level, the number of performance based share rights increases with a linear distribution within the interval until a ceiling of 7 per cent increase per year above the Banking Index is achieved. At that level the maximum outcome under this criterion is reached (1/3 of total maximum outcome). Performance is measured based on the average share price 1 January – 31 March 2014 compared to the average share price 1 January – 31 March 2017.

The criterion TSR compared to LTIR gives a minimum outcome if the TSR for SEB reaches LTIR + 2 per cent per year. The outcome is then set at 20 per cent of the maximum outcome under this criterion. Above that level, the number of performance based share rights increases with a linear distribution within the interval until a ceiling at a TSR increase of LTIR + 11 per cent per year is achieved. At that level the maximum outcome under this criterion is reached (2/3 of total maximum outcome). Performance is measured based on the average share price 1 January – 31 March 2014 compared to the average share price 1 January – 31 March 2017.

Cap for the SEB Share Matching Programme

The value of the SMP is capped at full vesting under the two performance criteria and a doubled share price based on the pre-determined initial share price.

If the share price at the time of vesting has more than doubled, the number of share rights and performance based share rights that are transferred to a participant will be reduced proportionately so that the value corresponds to the doubled share price capped value. 

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to matching as of December 31, 2022 was 22,628.

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2015 

The GEC and certain other senior managers with critical competences and a broadened number of other key employees, approximately 2,000 participants in total, are granted an individual number of conditional share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group, business unit and individual target levels outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis as a mix of the financial target Return on Equity/Return on Business Equity, cost development as well as on customer satisfaction and parameters such as compliance and risk. For GEC the initial allotment may not exceed 100 per cent of the base pay.

For senior managers ownership of 50 per cent of the share rights are transferred to the participant after a qualification period of three years, 50 per cent after a qualification period of five years. For other participants ownership of the share rights are transferred after three years. After each respective qualification period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. 

For participants outside of Sweden the outcome is deferred and paid in cash adjusted for TSR. 50 per cent of the deferred amount is paid out after four years and 50 per cent after six years for senior managers. For other participants outside of Sweden the deferred amount is paid out after four years. 

There is a requirement for vesting that the participant remains with SEB during the first three years. A further requirement is that the participant holds shares in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, for GEC equivalent to one year salary net of taxes, acquired no later than during the initial three year vesting period.

The holders are compensated for dividends to the shareholders during the duration of the programme. Thus, the number of share rights/the deferred amount will be recalculated, after the Annual General Meeting each year, taking the dividend into account.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to shares as of December 31, 2022 was 115,840and that entitles to cash adjusted for TSR was 0.

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2016 

The GEC and certain other senior managers and a number of other key employees, approximately 2000 participants in total, are granted an individual number of conditional share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group, business unit and individual targets outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis as a mix of the financial target Return on Equity/Return on Business Equity, cost development as well as on e.g. customer satisfaction and parameters such as compliance, employee commitment, SEB's corporate sustainability and risk. For GEC the initial allotment may not exceed 100 per cent of the base pay.

For GEC and other senior managers ownership of 50 per cent of the share rights are transferred to the participant after a qualification period of three years, 50 per cent after a qualification period of five years. For other participants ownership of the share rights are transferred after three years. After each respective qualification period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. For participants outside of Sweden the outcome is deferred as above referred and paid in cash adjusted for the SEB A-share's total shareholder return.

There is a requirement for vesting that the participant remains with SEB during the first three years. A further requirement is that the participant holds shares in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, for GEC equivalent to one year salary net of taxes, acquired no later than during the initial three year vesting period.

Allotment and cost

The maximum number of shares that can be transferred under the programmes is 14.1 million. The calculated expected outcome is approximately 9.5 million shares. The maximum number of shares under the programmes equals approximately 0.64 per cent including and 0.38 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme (expected outcome equals approximately 0.44 per cent including and 0.32 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme) of the total number of shares in the Bank.

The maximum annual charge for the deferred part, i.e. shares and cash adjusted for TSR, of the AEP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 155m, out of which SEK 34m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 66m, out of which SEK 14m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charges during the total programme period in the profit and loss account are SEK 264m.

The maximum annual charge for the SDP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 230m, out of which SEK 53m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 195m, out of which SEK 45m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 785m.

The maximum calculated annual charge is based on the assumptions that the price of the SEB Class A-share is SEK 85 and that no participant is leaving SEB during the employment requirement period.

Furthermore, it should be noted that should the SEB share price increase from the assumed SEK 85 the increase in maximum calculated annual charge will be approximately SEK 3m for every SEK in increase. The part of the programmes that will be settled in cash will create a higher volatility in the Income statement since the change in the share price is reported when it occurs.

The expected annual charge in the profit and loss account for the two programmes is equivalent to approximately 1.8 per cent of the total annual staff costs in the SEB Group.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to shares as of December 31, 2022 was 681,956and that entitles to cash adjusted for TSR was 204,992.

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2017

The GEC and certain other senior managers and a number of other key employees, approximately 2,000 participants in total, are granted an individual number of conditional share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group, business unit and individual targets outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis as a mix of the financial target Return on Equity/Return on Business Equity, cost development as well as on e.g. customer satisfaction and parameters such as compliance, employee commitment, SEB's corporate sustainability and risk. For GEC the initial allotment may not exceed 100 per cent of the base pay.

For GEC and other senior managers ownership of 50 per cent of the share rights are transferred to the participant after a qualification period of three years, 50 per cent after a qualification period of five years. For other participants ownership of the share rights are transferred after three years. After each respective qualification period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. In order to facilitate share ownership and strengthen the shareholder alignment, in additional to the above mentioned exercise period, for GEC the exercise period is extended during the period that they are members of GEC. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank. For participants outside of Sweden the outcome may be deferred as above referred and paid in cash adjusted for the SEB A-share's TSR. 

There is normally a requirement for vesting that the participant remains with SEB during the first three years. A further requirement for GEC and other senior managers is that they hold shares in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, for GEC equivalent to one year salary net of taxes, acquired no later than during the initial three year vesting period.

The maximum number of shares that can be transferred under the programmes is 13.5 million. The calculated expected outcome is approximately 8.5 million shares. The maximum number of shares under the programmes equals approximately 0.62 per cent including and 0.34 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme (expected outcome equals approximately 0.39 per cent including and 0.29 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme) of the total number of shares in the Bank.

The maximum annual charge for the deferred part, i.e. shares and cash adjusted for TSR, of the AEP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 155m, out of which SEK 33m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 66m, out of which SEK 14m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charges during the total programme period in the profit and loss account are SEK 264m.

The maximum annual charge for the SDP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 230m, out of which SEK 53m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 195m, out of which SEK 45m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 780m.

The maximum calculated annual charge is based on the assumptions that the price of the SEB Class A-share is SEK 95 and that no participant is leaving SEB during the employment requirement period. Furthermore, it should be noted that should the SEB share price increase from the assumed SEK 95 the increase in maximum calculated annual charge will be approximately SEK 3m for every SEK in increase. The part of the programmes that will be settled in cash will create a higher volatility in the Income statement since the change in the share price is reported when it occurs.

The expected annual charge in the profit and loss account for the two programmes is equivalent to approximately 1.8 per cent of the total annual staff costs in the SEB Group.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to shares as of December 31, 2022 was 1,360,297 and that entitles to cash adjusted for TSR was 29,589.

SEB All Employee Programme 2018 (AEP)

SEB All Employee Programme 2018 (AEP) is a programme for all employees in most of the countries where SEB operates. 50 per cent of the outcome is paid in cash and 50 per cent is deferred for three years and paid in SEB A-shares in Sweden and in SEB A-shares or cash adjusted for the SEB A-share's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) outside of Sweden. The AEP requires, with certain exemptions such as retirement, disability and orderly transition, the employee to be employed during three years from allotment to be eligible for payment. The individual maximum allotment is capped in Sweden at SEK 75,000 and the outcome is based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group targets, the financial targets (i) return on equity and (ii) cost development and the non-financial target (iii) customer satisfaction. Outcome is subject to a proposal at the Annual General Meeting 2019 on dividend distribution to the shareholders for 2018. Should the total outcome under the AEP be below approximately 20 per cent of the maximum outcome, the total outcome may be paid in cash without deferral.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to shares as of December 31, 2022 was 0 and that entitles to cash adjusted for TSR was 0.

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2018 (SDP)

SEB Share Deferral Programme 2018 (SDP) is a programme for GEC and certain other senior managers and key employees, approximately 1,000 participants in total. The participants are granted an individual number of conditional share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group, business unit and individual targets outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis as a mix of the financial target Return on Equity/Return on Business Equity, cost development as well as on e.g. customer satisfaction and parameters such as compliance, employee commitment, SEB's corporate sustainability and risk management. For GEC the initial allotment may not exceed 100 per cent of the base pay.

For GEC and other senior managers, ownership of 50 per cent of the share rights is transferred to the participant after a qualification period of three years, 50 per cent after a qualification period of five years. For other participants, ownership of 100 per cent of the share rights is transferred after three years. After each respective qualification period there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be exercised during a period of three years. In order to facilitate share ownership and strengthen the shareholder alignment, in addition to the above mentioned exercise period, the exercise period for GEC members is extended during the period that they are members of GEC. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank.

For participants in countries, mainly outside of SEB's European locations, the outcome may be deferred and paid in cash adjusted for the SEB A-shares' Total Shareholder Return, excluding the dividend distribution. 50 per cent of the final outcome is paid out after four years and 50 per cent after six years for senior managers. For other participants in these countries the deferred amount is paid out after four years.

The SDP requires, with certain exemptions such as retirement, disability and orderly transition, the employee to be employed during three years from allotment to be eligible for payment. A further requirement for GEC and other senior managers is that they hold shares in SEB equal to a pre-determined amount, for GEC equivalent to one year salary net of taxes, acquired no later than during the initial three year vesting period. If these requirements are not fulfilled, the share rights may be forfeited.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to shares as of December 31, 2022 was 1,791,435 and that entitles to cash adjusted for TSR was 28,184.

SEB Restricted Share Programme 2018 (RSP)

In order to ensure a competitive and attractive remuneration model within certain business units of SEB, as well as to comply with new regulations implemented in EU and Sweden, a Restricted Share Programme is proposed. The participants, in total approximately 1,000 selected employees on the level below senior executives, are granted an individual number of share rights based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group, business unit and individual targets as outlined in SEB's business plan. The targets are set on an annual basis as a mix of financial targets and non-financial targets.

The ownership of the share rights are transferred to the participants during a three year period in either four (starting 2018) or three (starting 2019) annual instalments. The share right are subject to restrictions in terms of e.g. certain regulatory forfeiture and employment requirements during the period between the initial allotment and the transfer of the ownership.

After the transfer of the ownership there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be converted to shares and transferred to the participant. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank.

For participants in countries mainly outside SEB's European locations the outcome may be deferred and paid in cash adjusted for the SEB A-shares' Total Shareholder Return, excluding the dividend distribution. The deferred amount is paid out after each respective holding period.

The maximum number of shares that can be transferred under the programmes is 12.7 million. The calculated expected outcome is approximately 8.5 million shares. The maximum number of shares under the programmes equals approximately 0.58 per cent including and 0.32 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme (expected outcome equals approximately 0.38 per cent including and 0.29 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme) of the total number of shares in the Bank.

The maximum annual charge for the deferred part, i.e. shares and cash adjusted for TSR, of the AEP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 150m, out of which SEK 32m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 64m, out of which SEK 14m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charges during the total programme period in the profit and loss account are SEK 256m.

The maximum annual charge for the SDP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 77m, out of which SEK 18m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 65m, out of which SEK 15m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 265m.

Based on the structure of the RSP, where part of the ownership is transferred immediately and part is distributed pro-rata, the annual charge will differ each year during the programme length. The maximum annual charge for the RSP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 330m the first year and SEK 24m the last year, out of which SEK 76m and SEK 6m respectively is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 325m and SEK 24m respectively, out of which SEK 75m and SEK 5m respectively is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 500m.

The maximum calculated annual charge is based on the assumptions that the price of the SEB Class A-share is SEK 100 and that no participant is leaving SEB during the employment requirement period. Furthermore, it should be noted that should the SEB share price increase from the assumed SEK 100 the increase in maximum calculated annual charge will be approximately SEK 3m for every SEK in increase.

The part of the programmes that will be settled in cash will create a higher volatility in the Income statement since the change in the share price is reported when it occurs.

The expected average annual charge in the profit and loss account for the three programmes is equivalent to approximately 1.7 per cent of the total annual staff costs in the SEB Group.

The number of outstanding rights that entitles to shares as of December 31, 2022 was 0 and that entitles to cash adjusted for TSR was 0.

SEB All Employee Programme 2019 (AEP)

The AEP requires, with certain exemptions such as retirement, disability and orderly transition, the employee to be employed during three years from allotment to be eligible for payment. The individual maximum allotment is capped in Sweden at SEK 75,000 and the outcome is based on the fulfilment of pre-determined Group targets, the financial targets (i) Return on Equity and (ii) cost development and the non-financial target (iii) customer satisfaction. Outcome is subject to a proposal at the AGM 2020 on dividend distribution to the shareholders for 2019. Should the total outcome under the AEP be below approximately 20 per cent of the maximum outcome, the total outcome may be paid in cash without deferral.

The ownership of the share rights are transferred to the participants during a three year period in either four (starting 2021) or three (starting 2022) annual instalments. The share right is subject to restrictions in terms of e.g. certain regulatory forfeiture and employment requirements during the period between the initial allotment and the transfer of the ownership.

After the transfer of the ownership there is an additional holding period of one year after which the share rights can be converted to shares and transferred to the participant. Each share right carries the right to receive one Class A-share in the Bank.

For participants in countries mainly outside SEB's European locations the outcome may be deferred and paid in cash adjusted for the SEB A-shares' Total Shareholder Return, excluding the dividend distribution. The deferred amount is paid out after each respective holding period.

The maximum number of shares that can be transferred under the programmes is 13.9 million. The calculated expected outcome is approximately 8.9 million shares. The maximum number of shares under the programmes equals approximately 0.64 per cent including and 0.34 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme (expected outcome equals approximately 0.41 per cent including and 0.30 per cent excluding the SEB All Employee Programme) of the total number of shares in the Bank.

The maximum annual charge for the deferred part, i.e. shares and cash adjusted for TSR, of the AEP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 150m, out of which SEK 31m is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 64m, out of which SEK 13m is related to social charges.

Based on the structure of the RSP, where part of the ownership is transferred immediately and part is distributed pro-rata, the annual charge will differ each year during the programme length. The maximum annual charge for the RSP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 145m the first year and SEK 15m the last year, out of which SEK 35m and SEK 4m respectively is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 142m and SEK 13m respectively, out of which SEK 33m and SEK 3m respectively is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 253m.

The maximum calculated annual charge is based on the assumptions that the price of the SEB Class A-share is SEK 90 and that no participant is leaving SEB during the employment requirement period. Furthermore, it should be noted that should the SEB share price increase from the assumed SEK 90 the increase in maximum calculated annual charge will be approximately SEK 3m for every SEK in increase. The part of the programmes that will be settled in cash will create a higher volatility in the Income statement since the change in the share price is reported when it occurs. 

The expected average annual charge in the profit and loss account for the three programmes is equivalent to approximately 1.8 per cent of the total annual staff costs in the SEB Group.

The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 140m, out of which SEK 32m is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 560m.

Based on the structure of the RSP, where part of the ownership is transferred immediately and part is distributed pro-rata, the annual charge will differ each year during the programme length. The maximum annual charge for the RSP that may affect the profit and loss account is SEK 125m the first year and SEK 13m the last year, out of which SEK 30m and SEK 3m respectively is related to social charges. The annual charge to the profit and loss account for the expected calculated outcome under the programme is estimated to SEK 125m and SEK 13m respectively, out of which SEK 30m and SEK 3m respectively is related to social charges. The expected aggregated charge during the total programme period in the profit and loss account is SEK 236m.

The maximum calculated annual charge is based on the assumptions that the price of the SEB Class A-share is SEK 125 and that no participant is leaving SEB during the employment requirement period. Furthermore, it should be noted that should the SEB share price increase from the assumed SEK 125 the increase in maximum calculated annual charge will be approximately SEK 2,5m for every SEK in increase. The part of the programmes that will be settled in cash will create a higher volatility in the Income statement since the change in the share price is reported when it occurs.

The expected average annual charge in the profit and loss account for the three programmes is equivalent to approximately 1.7 per cent of the total annual staff costs in the SEB Group.
