The remuneration of Ferrovial’s Board of Directors is determined on the basis of best market practices, supported by remuneration studies carried out by external advisors, internal rules and applicable legal regulations.
The current Remuneration Policy for Ferrovial’s Directors is based on the following principles and criteria:
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION (THOUSAND €)* | FIXED | VARIABLE | SHARE PLAN | OTHER(1) | TOTAL 2022 | TOTAL 2021 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

* Remuneration for their status as Executive Directors.
(1) Life insurance premiums.
(2) During 2022, the amount of 8 thousand euros has been imputed to Mr. Ignacio Madridejos as remuneration in kind corresponding to a company car.
The fixed remuneration of the Executive Directors is determined on the basis of the market references of a comparison group of 24 national and international companies in their reference markets.
Only Executive Directors have variable component elements attributed to them in their remuneration. It consists of annual variable remuneration and long-term incentive plans.
It is linked to individual performance and the achievement of specific economic-financial, industrial and operational objectives, predetermined, quantifiable and aligned with the corporate interest and contemplated in the Strategic Plans. The quantitative objectives are made up of metrics that guarantee an adequate balance between the financial and operational aspects of the company’s management. The qualitative objectives and those related to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors are linked to the evaluation of the individual performance of the Executive Directors.
The target amount of the annual variable remuneration of the Executive Directors which corresponds to a standard level of achievement of the objectives, is 125% of the fixed remuneration for the Chairman, with a maximum of 190%. For the Chief Executive Officer, a target variable remuneration equivalent to 100% of the fixed remuneration with a maximum of 150% has been established.
The Executive Directors participate in a long-term variable remuneration system consisting of share delivery plans. The current remuneration policy establishes a limit of 150% of the fixed remuneration as the value of the incentive at the time of grant.
They are structured in overlapping multi-year cycles (currently three years), with units being allocated each year, which are converted into shares at the end of the cycle (currently three years). For the current plan (period 2020-2022), they are determined by the relative weight of the metrics in the attached table.
In addition, the new 2023-2025 Performance Share Plan is expected to be submitted for approval at the next General Shareholders’ Meeting, which will include a metric related to ESG factors, including greenhouse gas reduction, diversity and occupational health and safety targets.

Ferrovial’s internal regulations establish that the remuneration of External Directors shall be such as is necessary to adequately compensate them for the responsibility and dedication required by the position, without compromising their independence.
Remuneration formulas consisting of the delivery of shares, options, instruments referenced to the value of the share or linked to the company’s performance will be limited to Executive Directors.
