Executive Compensation We are also introducing a change to the scorecard used to assess PSU performance to align with the IFRS 17 accounting standard change. Beginning with the 2023 awards, we will replace the book value per share metric with book value per share plus after-tax total CSM (contractual service margin balance) per share. This change will ensure that we are continuing to capture the full value of our outstanding policies while also ensuring that events that impact CSM have an appropriate impact on management compensation. The core ROE metric and the relative TSR modifier will remain unchanged. Finally, for 2023 we will increase the maximum payout opportunity from 180% to 200% (including the impact of the relative TSR modifier), in tandem with the introduction of higher performance hurdles. This will reward greater outperformance, consistent with market practice. See page 44 for more information about these changes. Shareholder engagement and chair transition I would like to thank our investors for their continued engagement on topics including executive compensation, ESG topics, and our strategic direction. In January of this year, members of our board met with institutional shareholders accounting for approximately 28% of Manulife’s outstanding institutional shares. We appreciate your candid and thoughtful feedback on all topics and will use your inputs to aid in our decision-making processes. In February of this year, I transitioned to the role of Chair of the Board. It has been a privilege to serve in the role of chair of the management resources and compensation committee, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with this committee on its important objectives. I would like to thank Nicole Arnaboldi for agreeing to take over as chair of the committee. Nicole has been a board member since 2020 and previously served as a member of this committee. Her deep, global expertise as a former senior executive in the wealth and asset management industry makes her an ideal successor as we continue to focus on growing our highest potential businesses.
