Compensation System

Compensation structure for Directors who monitor and supervise the Company’s management, and for Executive Officers who are responsible for the performance of business, shall be separate. When a Director concurrently serves as an Executive Officer, the compensation system for the Executive Officers shall be applied in principle.

■Directors’ Compensation system

The compensation system for Directors consists of Annual Base Salary and Stock-linked compensation as their acts are requested to contribute to increase the sustainable corporate value while they are monitoring and supervising the management during their statutory terms.

When an Outside Director serves as the chair of the board of directors, chairperson of the committee or concurrently serves as a corporate auditor of LIXIL Corporation, the allowance for such duties will be paid. In addition, compensation for Internal Directors is decided individually depending on whether they are full-time or part-time, and the content of their duty and responsibility, etc.

■Executive Officers’ Compensation system

The compensation system for Executive Officers consists of Annual Base Salary, Performance-linked compensation and Stock-linked compensation, based on the policy of attracting and retaining talented human resources that are essential for accelerating business growth, providing strong motivation to achieve management goals, rewarding Executive Officers fairly and equitably in accordance with the results of such efforts, and ensuring that the trust and reputation of shareholders and other stakeholders are properly reflected in their compensation.

Compensation system overview

【Annual Base Salary】

Annual Base Salary for Directors and Executive Officers shall be determined based on the 50 percentiles of the compensation in a group of Japanese Companies with sales of JPY 1 trillion to 2 trillion, in the data from external specialized agencies, taking into consideration the 25 percentiles to 75 percentiles of the above data. For the Directors and Executive Officers who live abroad, the data in each country shall be referred. For Executive Officers, the amount of compensation can be outside of the above range, since it is determined considering each individual duty, performance, experience, and priority of attracting and retaining personnel, etc.

【Performance-linked compensation】

In order to encourage the Executive Officers to work together to achieve single-year management goals and to ensure that they are fairly equitably rewarded in accordance with the results of their performance, the calculation formula has been composed of only company-wide performance.
Furthermore, ROIC, which is a key management indicator for the entire Company, is included in the performance target items in order to strongly motivate the improvement of capital efficiency.

• The Base amount of Performance-linked compensation shall be determined by multiplying the Annual Base Salary by a coefficient set for each position.
• The payout rate according to the achievement level of performance targets is shown in the chart below.

【Stock-linked compensation】

The company has been applying the stock-linked monetary compensation (the “Phantom Stock”) since the fiscal year ended March 2020 with the aim of encouraging Directors and Executive Officers to monitor, supervise and management and make management decisions for achieving the sustained improvement in the corporate value of the Company over the mid- to long-term as well as further promoting shared values between the Directors and Executive Officers and shareholders of the Company, and attracting and retaining personnel from around the globe that will contribute to further raising corporate value by standardizing global executives’ compensation in the Group.

The period from the right grant date to the vesting date (the “Holding Period”) shall be set one year for Directors in line with the term set forth in the Companies Act, considering their role in enhancing corporate value and in monitoring and supervising management. The Holding Period for Executive Officers shall be set at three years, from the perspective of their role in sustainably enhancing corporate value and retention for medium- to long-term management. Therefore, in the event that an Executive Officer resigns for his or her own reasons or refuse to be reappointed by the Company within less than three years of the subject Holding Period, the right to the Phantom Stock for the subject Holding Period will be extinguished.

Note: The average of closing price of the Company's stock for the previous 30 business days is applied at both grant and vest.
