The CEO belongs to the defined contribution pension plan, whose retirement age is 63 years. The group supplementary pension plan was changed from defined benefit to defined contribution as of 1 January 2013. The target retirement age for the CEO is starting at 63 years of age and the supplementary pension with a fixed 11.47 per cent bonus and other performance-based salary items deducted from the earnings-related pension insurance (TyEL). The Executive Vice President belongs to the defined benefit pension plan, which offers eligibility for retirement at 60 years of age. Therefore, the target pension is 60 per cent of the average yearly earnings over the previous five years. Lowering the retirement age from the statutory retirement age is done with a defined benefit supplementary pension. The period of notice for the CEO is six months, in addition to which the CEO will receive termination benefits equivalent to 18 months' salary if 'the company terminates their employment. The period of notice for the Executive Vice President is six months, in addition to which the Executive Vice President will receive termination benefits equivalent to 12 months' salary if the company terminates their employment.

F5 Defined benefit pension plans | ||||||||||
The Group has several defined benefit group pension insurance plans, which cover personnel who transferred to Finnvera from previous organisations, and supplementary pension insurance plans for Management Group members and Regional Directors appointed before 2 April 2009. At the end of the year, there were 142 people covered by the plans. When a person resigns or retires, the insurance is changed to a defined contribution plan, because paid-up policies and pensions are increased by a credit issued by the insurance provider. From the beginning of 2013, Management Group supplementary pension insurance changed from defined benefit to defined contribution, with the retirement age remaining at 63 years, with certain transitional conditions. This is presented in accounting as compliance with obligations. The plans are funded with annual contributions paid to the insurance company and based on actuarial calculations. The plans are subject to local tax and other legislation. The obligation is shown as the pledge made to all insurees and the asset is shown as the share of this obligation assumed by the insurance provider. The amount of assets is calculated using the same discount interest rate as an equivalent obligation. As a result, the risk posed by changes in the discounted interest rate only affects the net liabilities. A hypothetical 0.25% increase in salary would increase the obligation 1.2% (1.3%) and, correspondingly, an equivalent decrease would have the opposite effect.
