Drive the right behaviors | Reward policy and practices that drive behaviors supporting our Company strategy and business objectives. |
Shareholder alignment | Variable compensation plans that support a culture of entrepreneurship and performance and incorporate both short-term and longer-term financial and operational metrics strongly correlated to the creation of shareholder wealth. Long-term incentives are designed to maintain sustained commitment and ensure that the interests of our Global Senior Management Team are aligned with those of our shareholders. |
Pay for performance | Total reward structured around pay in line with performance, providing the opportunity to reward strong corporate and individual performance. A significant proportion of top management's compensation is variable (at risk) and based on measures of personal, company and share price performance directly attributable to short-term and long-term value creation. |
Transparency | Millicom is committed to expanding transparency, including disclosure around pay for performance, links to value creation, etc. |
Market competitive and representative remuneration | Compensation is designed to be market competitive and representative of the seniority and importance of roles, responsibilities and geographical locations of individuals. |
Retention of key talent | Variable compensation plans include a significant portion of deferred share-based or cash compensation, the payout of which is conditional on future employment with the Company for three-year rolling periods, starting on the grant date. |
Executive management to be "invested" | The Global Senior Management Team, through Millicom’s share ownership guidelines, is required to reach and maintain a significant level of personal ownership of Millicom shares. |
Align pay and performance. | Create special executive perquisites. |
Designate a substantial majority of executive pay as at risk, based on a mix of absolute and relative financial and share price performance metrics. | Permit executives to hedge company shares. |

Pay element | Purpose | Maximum opportunity |
Purpose and link to strategy | Designed to be market competitive to attract and retain talent | No absolute maximum has been set for Group Leadership Team salaries. The committee considers increases on a case-by-case basis based on peer comparison. Pay increases usually reflect a combination of roles and responsibilities, local market conditions and individual performance. |
Operational execution | Paid monthly in cash in U.S. dollars or the home currency of the executive | The Compensation and Talent Committee aims to set salaries for the Group Leadership Team at the median of the peer group. |
Reviewed by the Compensation and Talent Committee every March |
STI | ||
Pay element | Purpose | Payout opportunity |
Purpose and link to strategy | The STI links reward to key business targets (75%) and individual contribution / personal performance (25%). Financial and operational targets are: Service Revenue (25%); EBITDA (25%) and EFCF. The STI aligns with shareholders’ interests through the provision of a portion of the payment delivered in share units deferred over three years (DSP) for the senior leadership team. The DSP is awarded upon achieving the performance targets, with 30% paid after one year, 30% after the second year and 40% after the third year of the grant date. These plans help incentivize and motivate leadership to execute strategic plans in operational decision-making and achieve short-term performance goals, impacting Company performance and enhancing its value. | Service Revenue: With less than 98% of the target the award falls to 0%. The threshold achievement is 98% of the target, resulting in a payout of 90%. The opportunity is 200% for the achievement of 104%. EBITDA: With less than 90% of the target the award falls to 0%. The threshold achievement is 90% of the target, resulting in a payout of 10%. The opportunity is 200% for the achievement of 110%. EFCF: With less than 92.5% of the target the award falls to 0%. The threshold achievement is 92.5% of the target, resulting in a payout of 50%. The opportunity is 300% for the achievement of 120%. |
Benchmarking | Our STI is a key component of the Millicom Group culture. We benchmark to peer companies within the U.S. and Latin America | Each year the Compensation and Talent Committee determines the annual STI opportunity for the Group Leadership Team. |
LTI | ||
Pay element | Purpose | Payout opportunity |
Purpose and link to strategy | The LTI links an important part of overall Global Senior Management Team compensation with the interests of our shareholders, encouraging long-term value creation and retention. Millicom maintains unified goals and objectives in the LTI program for the Global Senior Management Team, with the purpose of driving the successful achievement of three-year performance goals designed to enhance long-term value of the Company. The LTI is a share-based plan whereby share awards that are granted fully vest at the end of a three-year period, subject to achievement of certain performance measures and fulfillment of conditions. The weights for the LTI component are: Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) (60%); Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) (30%); and Performance Shares with ESG target achievement (10%). The peer group for the LTI 2024 is: America Movil, TIM Brazil, TEF Brazil, Entel Chile, Lilac, Telecom Argentina, Grupo Televisa, Megacable. | Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs): Payout is based on the share price appreciation at the time of exercise, resulting in the delivery of shares. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): Payout is subject to the share price at the time of vesting. Performance Shares based on ESG metric: If achievement is less than 80% of the target, the award is 0%. Between 80% and 100% of the target, the award is adjusted pro-rata based on performance, starting from 0% to 100% payout. The payout is capped at 100% achievement. |
Benchmarking | Our LTI is a key component of the Millicom Group culture. | Each year the Compensation and Talent Committee determines the annual LTI opportunity for the Group Leadership Team. |
For executives we benchmark to peer companies based on executive location. |
