What requirements must a remuneration plan fulfil in order to fall under the concept of “prospective remuneration plan for variable remuneration, including LTIPs, […] exclusively based on future performance conditions”, as per para. 139 of the EBA Guidelines, so that instruments awarded under then plan should exceptionally be valued for the purpose of the calculation of the ratio between variable and fixed components of the total remuneration with the market price or fair value at the time the prospective remuneration plan was granted? In particular, can an incentive plan which combines both short-term and long-term performance conditions fulfil the requirements of a “prospective remuneration plan” within the meaning of para. 139 of the EBA Guidelines?
