Nokia - AGM 08 April 2021
On 1 August 2020, Pekka Lundmark replaced Rajeev Suri as President and CEO of Nokia.
We recommend to oppose the remuneration report (item 10) due to the following concerns:
• Use of non-IFRS operating profit as performance indicator while the annual
report indicates the use of “operating profit” (misleading)
• Excessive termination package of €5.12 M for previous CEO, Mr Suri
• Lack of justification of the new CEO’s golden Hello
• CEO’s total remuneration of €8.02 M (excluding golden hello) exceeding by 82% the Technology & Hardware sector median in Europe.
