Marel Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Policy of Marel hf. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is
designed to attract, motivate and retain exceptional employees in a competitive
and international market. The policy reflects the Company's objectives for good
corporate governance as well as sustained long-term value creation for
shareholders. 

The Remuneration Policy applies to the Company's senior management, including
its Executive Team and Board of Directors. 

Executive Team Remuneration

The remuneration of Marel's Executive Team is proposed by the Remuneration
Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors. It is evaluated
annually against performance and a benchmark of international companies, which
in size and complexity are similar to Marel. Benchmark information is obtained
from internationally recognized compensation service consultancies. 

Total remuneration shall be comprised as follows:

  -- A fixed base salary, set at a level aimed at attracting and retaining
     executives with professional and personal competences required to drive the
     Company's performance.
  -- Short-term incentives,
 based on the achievement of a number of pre-defined financial and
     non-financial strategic business targets approved by the Board of
     Directors. Short-term incentives for the CEO amount to 50% of annual base
     salary at target and can reach a maximum of 70%. Short-term incentives for
     other members of the Executive Team can amount to up to 45% of the annual
     fixed base salary at target and reach a maximum of 60%. Short-term
     incentive payments are subject to recovery, provided that they have been
     based on data, which proved to be manifestly misstated, false or
     misleading.
  -- Long-term incentives
 in the form of stock options. Marel has implemented stock option programs
     with the objective of aligning interests of executive management and
     selected employees in strategic positions with the long-term goals of the
     Company and its shareholders. The key terms of share-based incentive
     agreements and programs shall be submitted to a Shareholders' Meeting for
     approval.
  -- Pension contributions,
 made in accordance with applicable laws and employment agreements. 
  -- Severance payments
 in accordance with termination clauses in employment agreements.
     Severance payments shall comply with local legal framework.

Board of Directors

Members of the Board of Directors shall receive a fixed, monthly payment in
accordance with the decision of the Annual General Meeting of the Company. The
Board shall submit a proposal on the fee for the upcoming operating year,
taking into account the extent of responsibilities and time commitment, the
results of the Company and benchmark data on fees paid by European peer
companies, which in size and complexity are similar to Marel. 

Board members are not offered stock options or participation in incentive
schemes. 

Individual board members may take on specific ad hoc tasks outside their normal
duties assigned by the Board. In each such case, the Board may determine a
fixed fee for the work carried out related to those tasks, which shall be
disclosed in the Company's annual financial statements. 

Disclosure of Information

Information on the total remuneration of members of the Company's Board of
Directors, Executive Team and senior management accountable for more than 10%
of the assets or earnings of the Company, shall be disclosed in the Company's
annual financial statements. This includes any deferred payments and
extraordinary contracts during the preceding financial year. 

Approval of the Remuneration Policy

This Remuneration Policy shall apply to all future employment agreements with
members of Company's Executive Team and Board of Directors. 

The Remuneration Policy is binding for the Board of Directors as regards its
provisions on stock options. In other respects, the Remuneration Policy shall
be of guidance for the Board. Any departure from the policy shall be recorded
and reasoned in the Board's minutes.
