(Translation from the Portuguese original)<br />

PROPOSAL<br />

The Chairman of the Board of the<br />

Shareholders’ General Meeting of<br />

<strong>Sonae</strong> - SGPS, S.A.<br />

Lugar do Espido, Via Norte<br />

4471-909 Maia<br />

The Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee proposes to the General Meeting the approval, under the<br />

terms and for the purpose of nr. 1 of Article 2 of the Law 28/2009, of 19th June, the present Statement<br />

on Remuneration and Compensation Policy for the statutory governing bodies and people discharging<br />

managerial responsibilities of the Company, as follows:<br />

1. Principles of the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the Statutory Governing Bodies.<br />

The remuneration and compensation policy of the statutory governing bodies and of the people<br />

discharging managerial responsibilities adheres to European Community directives, to national law and<br />

to <strong>CMVM</strong> (Portuguese Securities Market Commission) recommendations underpinned by the principle<br />

that initiative, competence and commitment are the essential pillars of a good performance, which must<br />

be aligned with the medium an long term interests of the Company, aiming at sustainability.<br />

When establishing the retribution policy and fixating remuneration a comparison is made, in one hand,<br />

with market references provided by several surveys carried out in Portugal and the principal European<br />

markets, namely conducted by Mercer and the Hay Group, and, in the other, with companies included in<br />

the Portuguese Stock Index (PSI 20).<br />

Executive Directors remuneration plans are defined by reference to market studies conducted over<br />

Portugal and Europe “Top Executive” and are positioned in the market median for fixed remuneration<br />

and in the market third quartile for variable remuneration in comparable circumstances.


Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee of <strong>Sonae</strong>, SGPS, S.A.<br />

Fixed and variable remuneration are decided at the Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee liaising<br />

with the Board Nomination and Remuneration.<br />

The fixed component of the remuneration is aligned, in its limits, with market standards which are<br />

determined by reference to comparable companies practice.<br />

The variable component of the remuneration, applicable to executive directors, is subject to maximum<br />

percentages and respects pre-established and measurable criteria – performance indicators – settled<br />

with each of the executive directors for each financial year.<br />

The variable component of the remuneration is assessed by performance evaluation of a set of<br />

performance indicators, including business indicators essentially with economical and finance aspects (<br />

“Key Performance Indicators of Business Activity” (Business KPIs) ) and individual, which combines<br />

subjective and objective indicators,“ Personal Key Performance Indicators” (Personal KPIs). The<br />

content of the performance indicators and its specific weight in the determination of the effective<br />

remuneration, ensure the alignment of executive directors with the strategic goals defined and the<br />

compliance with the legal applicable standards of the Company’s activity.<br />

In order to determine the variable component of the remuneration there is an individual performance<br />

assessment executed by the Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee, liaising with the Board<br />

Nomination and Remuneration Committee. This assessment is performed after the Company’s earnings<br />

are announced.<br />

Hence and pertaining to each financial year the company’s activity, the performance and the individual<br />

contributes to the overall success are assessed, which necessarily restricts the attribution of the fixed<br />

and variable components of each director’s remuneration plan.<br />

At least fifty percent of the variable remuneration attributed to each executive director is effectively<br />

differed for a three year period according to individual and company performance in each financial year.<br />

This deferred component of the variable remuneration is composed of shares and is subject to the<br />

Share Plan Attribution according to its respective Regulation.


Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee of <strong>Sonae</strong>, SGPS, S.A.<br />

The Company’s Remuneration and Compensation Policy maintains the principle of not including the<br />

attribution of compensation to directors or any other member of the statutory governing bodies, in<br />

relation to the termination of the exercise of their respective functions, whether this termination occurs<br />

by effect of the end of the mandate or by early termination, motivated or not, without prejudice of<br />

compliance with the applicable legal terms in this matter.<br />

The Company’s Remuneration and Compensation Policy does not include any benefit system, namely<br />

for retirement purposes, for any of the member of the management and audit bodies or for other people<br />

discharging managerial responsibilities.<br />

In order to ensure the effectiveness and transparency of the goals of the Company’s Remuneration and<br />

Compensation Policy executive directors:<br />

- have not nor should they not execute agreements with the company or with any third party which may<br />

have as effect mitigate the risk inherent to the variability of the remuneration as established by the<br />

company.<br />

- have not, in the 2010 financial year, corresponding to the end of the mandate, nor should they alienate<br />

in the following mandate, company shares they have been attributed as variable remuneration up to two<br />

and half times the total annual remuneration, exception being given to the shares alienate in order to<br />

pay tax arising for the attribution of such variable remuneration in shares.<br />

2. In execution of the described principles, the remuneration and compensation of executive<br />

directors (ED), respects the following rules:<br />

Executive Directors<br />

Remuneration includes (i) a fixed component, which incorporates a Base Remuneration and<br />

Annual Responsibility Allowance, taking as reference a period of a year, being paid monthly<br />

(ii)a variable “Short Term Variable Remuneration”, which is paid during the first quarter of the<br />

following year, and (iii) a “Medium Term Variable Remuneration” paid in the first quarter of<br />

the following year, as deferred compensation under Share Attribution Plan and respective<br />

Regulation, which vests on the third anniversary of the attribution date.


Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee of <strong>Sonae</strong>, SGPS, S.A.<br />

(i) Individual compensation packages will be defined as a function of the level of responsibility<br />

of each ED and will be reviewed annually. Each ED is attributed a classification, internally<br />

referred to as a Management Level (“Grupo Funcional”). EDs are classified as either “Group<br />

Senior Executive” (G1) or “Senior Executive” (G2). <strong>Sonae</strong> Management Levels are<br />

structured according to Hay’s international model for the classification of corporate functions,<br />

thereby facilitating market comparisons, as well as helping to promote internal equity.<br />

(ii) The Short Term Variable Remuneration will be aimed at rewarding the achievement of<br />

certain predefined annual objectives, which are linked to both “Key Performance Indicators<br />

of Business Activity” (Business KPIs) and “Personal Key Performance Indicators” (Personal<br />

KPI’s). The target amounts attributed will be based on a percentage of the fixed component,<br />

which will range between 33% and 75%, depending on the ED’s Management Level.<br />

Business KPIs, which include economic and financial indicators, will derive 70% of the Short<br />

Term Variable Remuneration and are objective indicators. The remaining 30% of the Short<br />

Term Variable Remuneration will derive from Personal KPI’s, which include both objective<br />

and subjective indicators. Actual amounts paid will be based on the real performance<br />

(business performance and individual performance) and can represent anything from 0% to<br />

140% of the target amount attributed;<br />

(iii) The Medium Term Variable Remuneration will be aimed at enhancing ED’s loyalty, aligning<br />

their interests with shareholders, and increasing their awareness of the importance of their<br />

performance on the overall success of our organization. The amounts are the same as those<br />

annually established for the Short Term Variable Remuneration, representing for EDs 100%<br />

of the attributed Short Term Variable Remuneration. This value in euros shall be divided by<br />

the quoted share price for the determination of the number of shares it corresponds to. The<br />

value converted into shares will be adjusted to include any variations occurring in the share<br />

capital or dividends to obtain the Total Shareholder Return during a three years deferring<br />

period. At the vesting date, the shares shall be delivered without cost, and the Company will<br />

keep the option to alternatively deliver the corresponding amount in cash.<br />

Non-Executive Directors<br />

The remuneration of Non-Executive Members of our Board of Directors (NEDs) shall be based on<br />

market comparables, respecting the following principles: (1) a Fixed Remuneration (of which<br />

approximately 15% depends on attendance at Board, Board Audit and Finance Committee and Board<br />

Nomination and Remuneration Committee meetings); (2) an Annual Responsibility Allowance. The<br />

Fixed Remuneration can be increased by up to 6% for NEDs serving as Chairman of any Board<br />

Committee. No variable remuneration of any kind is paid.


Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee of <strong>Sonae</strong>, SGPS, S.A.<br />

Statutory Audit Board (“Conselho Fiscal”)<br />

The remuneration of the members of our Statutory Audit Board shall be based exclusively on fixed<br />

annual amounts, which includes an Annual Responsibility Allowance established according to market<br />

comparable practices.<br />

The remuneration of the members of our Statutory Audit Board shall be based exclusively on fixed<br />

annual amounts, which includes an Annual Responsibility Allowance established according to market<br />

Statutory External Auditor<br />

The Statutory External Auditor of the Company shall be remunerated in accordance with normal fee<br />

levels for similar services, benchmarked against the market, under the supervision of our Statutory Audit<br />

Board which liaises with the Board Audit and Finance Committee.<br />

Board of the Shareholders’ General Meeting<br />

The remuneration of the members of the Board at the Shareholders’ General Meeting shall correspond<br />

to a fixed amount, based on the Company’s financial position and benchmarked against the market.<br />

Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (“Dirigentes”)<br />

Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (“Dirigentes”), under the terms of Article 248-B<br />

Paragraph 3 of the Portuguese Securities Code (“Código de Valores Mobiliários”), in addition to the<br />

Stautory Governing Bodies mentioned above, include senior managers who have regular access to<br />

Privileged Information and are involved in taking management and business strategy decisions at the<br />

Company.<br />

The Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee proposes that the Compensation Policy applicable to<br />

individuals who, under the terms of the law, are considered to be Persons Discharging Managerial<br />

Responsibilities (“Dirigentes”), be the same as is adopted for other senior managers with the same level<br />

of functions and responsibilities, without awarding any additional benefit in addition to that which results<br />

from their respective Management Level.<br />

3. Compliance with <strong>CMVM</strong> Recommendation II.1.5.2<br />

In compliance with this Recommendation it is hereby stated that:


Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee of <strong>Sonae</strong>, SGPS, S.A.<br />

SONAE SHARE ATTRIBUTION PLAN<br />

(Medium Term Variable Remuneration – MTVR)<br />

Features and Regulation<br />

1. Main features of MTVR<br />

MTVR is one of the components of <strong>Sonae</strong>’s remuneration policy. This component<br />

distinguishes itself from the remaining since it is restrict and voluntary, and its<br />

attribution is subject to the eligibility criteria hereby described.<br />

MTVR allows the beneficiaries to share with shareholders the value generated<br />

through their involvement in the strategy and management of <strong>Sonae</strong>’s businesses in<br />

the just measure of the results of their annual assessment of performance.<br />

2. MTVR Scheme<br />

3. Eligibility<br />

MTVR aligns the interest of executive directors with the organization’s objectives,<br />

reinforcing their compromise and strengthening their view over the importance of their<br />

performance for <strong>Sonae</strong>, and expressed in <strong>Sonae</strong> share market capitalization.<br />

Executive Directors are eligible for attribution of MTVR.<br />

Under the terms of the remuneration policy approved by the Board of Directors,<br />

employees may also be eligible for the MTVR.<br />

Eligible Members<br />

<strong>Sonae</strong> Executive Directors<br />

Reference value for<br />

medium term remuneration plan<br />

(% total objective variable remuneration)<br />

at least 50%<br />

<strong>Sonae</strong> Business Units executive Directors at least 50%<br />

Employees to be defined by the Board of Directors<br />

4. Duration of the MTVR plan<br />

The MTVR plan is established annually, based on the variable remuneration<br />

awarded, and each plan has duration of three years. As from the third consecutive<br />

plan it will occur in each moment the overlapping of three three-year plans.<br />

5. Valuation of the MTVR plan<br />

The share price of the Company on the Portuguese stock exchange is used to<br />

establish the value of MTVR, using as a benchmark the most favourable price, equal<br />

to the closing price on the first work day after the Shareholders’ General Meeting, or<br />

the average price (using for this average the closing price for the 30 days prior to the<br />

date of the General Meeting).


The beneficiaries have the right to acquire a number of shares determined by the<br />

quotient between the attributed variable remuneration value and the share market<br />

price at the attribution date settled under the terms of the previous paragraph, being<br />

such right exercisable three years after the attribution date.<br />

The executive directors included in the plan acquire shares without paying any<br />

compensation. Employees who have been attributed such right acquire the shares in<br />

the conditions established by the Board of Directors.<br />

If, subsequent to being awarded the right to this kind of remuneration and before<br />

exercising this right, dividends are distributed, changes are made to the nominal<br />

value of shares, the Company’s share capital is changed or any other change is<br />

made to the Company’s capital structure, then the number of shares, which the<br />

director has been awarded, will be adjusted to an equivalent number, taking into<br />

account the impact of these changes.<br />

6. Delivery by the Company<br />

At the moment of the exercise of the share acquisition right under MTVR, the<br />

Company reserves itself the right of delivering, in substitution of the shares, the cash<br />

equivalent amount to the share market value at the date of the exercise of the right.<br />

7. Termination of the MTVR plan<br />

The right to acquire shares attributed under the MTVR expires three years after such<br />

attribution.<br />

A director’s rights relating to the MTVR plan expires when he/she no longer works<br />

with <strong>Sonae</strong>. However, the right to receive payment continues in case of permanent<br />

disability or decease, with the due amount being paid to the director or to his/her heirs<br />

at the normal time for payment. If the director retires, any rights to awards can be<br />

exercised on the due date for payment<br />

8. Conditions for the exercise of the right<br />

The right to exercise the right to acquire shares attributed at the end of the Plan<br />

expirer if the legal engagement between the beneficiary and the company terminates<br />

before the three-year deferral period has occurred, without prejudice of the following<br />

paragraphs.<br />

However, the right to receive payment continues in case of permanent disability or<br />

decease, with the due amount being paid to the director or to his/her heirs at the<br />

normal time for payment.<br />

If the director retires, any rights to awards can be exercised on the due date for<br />

payment.
