Proposal number 2
Under the legal and statutory terms, the Board of Directors proposes to allocate the net income
of Sonaecom Individual accounts, in the amount of 42.774.663,52 euros as follows:
i) 2.138.733,18 euros to legal reserves;
ii) 25.841.223,07 euros is paid to shareholders;
iii) 14.794.707,27 euros to “Other Reserves”
Considering that it will not be possible to determine the precise number of own shares that will be
held by the company on the date of the abovementioned payment, without limiting the company’s
capacity to act, we highlight the following:
i) To each issued share it will correspond the gross amount of 0,083 euros;
ii) The amount corresponding to the shares that belong to the Company on the payment
day of the abovementioned amount (calculated on said unit gross amount of 0,083
euros per issued share) will not be paid to shareholders, but will instead be
maintained in “Other Reserves”.

Proposal no. 6
The Remuneration Committee proposes to the Shareholders’ General Meeting the approval, under
the terms and for the purposes of number 1 of article 2 of Law 28/2009 of 19 June, amended by the
Decree-Law nº 157/2014 of 24 October, that the Remuneration and Compensation Policy to be
applied to the Company’s Statutory Governing Bodies, as well as the Stock Plan Policy that will be
applied by the Remunerations Committee as follows:
1. Principles of the Remuneration and Compensation Policy for the members of the
Statutory Governing Bodies:
The Remuneration and Compensation Policy to be applied to the Statutory Governing Bodies
complies with European Commission guidelines, Portuguese law the Portuguese Institute of
Corporate Governance (IPCG) Recommendations contained in the IPCG Corporate Governance
Code, published in 2018, in accordance with the established Protocol between IPCG and
Portuguese Securities Exchange Commission (“CMVM”), on 13th of October of 2017, which
introduced a model for self-regulation of the recommendatory corporate governance, and revoked
the CMVM Corporate Governance Code (2013) and promoted the implementation of a unique code,
prepared by the IPCG, who shall have the role to interpret and apply it, as well as to qualitatively
and annually assess the governance structures and practices of listed companies. The present
Policy is based on the understanding that initiative, competence and commitment are the essential
foundations for delivering good performance, and that Remuneration Policy should be aligned with
the medium and long term interests of the Company, in order to achieve sustainability, and based
in the following principles:
Competitiveness:
In determining the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the statutory governing bodies of the
Company, the main goal is to attract talent with high level of performance that represents a valuable
SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A.

and material contribute to the sustainability of the Company’s businesses. The Policy is defined by
benchmarking against the global market and with the practices of comparable companies, being
this information furnished by the main surveys performed for Portugal and other European markets,
in particular those prepared by Mercer and Korn Ferry.
Accordingly, the remuneration parameters for members of the statutory governing bodies are
determined and periodically revised in line with the remuneration practices of national and
internationally comparable companies, with the aim of aligning with market practice the potential
maximum amount of remuneration, both individually as well as in aggregate terms, to be paid to the
members of the statutory governing bodies.
When making such analysis, the remuneration of the members of the statutory governing bodies
shall namely consider, alongside other factors, the profile and the background of the member, the
nature and the description of the role and the competencies of the statutory governing body and of
the member itself, as well as the degree of direct correlation between the individual performance
and the business performance.
For the assessment of the market practice reference values, it is considered the median
compensation for Europe’s top tier executives’ fixed remuneration and the third quartile for variable
remuneration. The companies that make up the pool of comparable companies are those with
securities traded at Euronext Lisbon regulated market.

Oriented for performance
The Policy establishes the attribution of bonus calculated considering the level of success of the
Company. The variable component of the remuneration is structured in a way to establish a
connection between the bonus attributed and the level of performance either individual, either
collective. In case the pre-defined objectives, measured by business and individual KPIs, are not
accomplished, the amount of short and medium incentives, will be totally or partially reduced.
Alignment with shareholders’ interests
Part of the variable bonus of the executive directors, when applicable, is deferred for a period of 3
years, being the amount conditioned by the evolution of the price of shares and by the level of
achievement of the medium term objectives during the deferral period. This way, it is ensured an
alignment of the director with shareholder’s interests and with medium term performance, looking
at the sustainability of the business.
Transparency
Every aspects of the remuneration structure are clear and openly published, either internally as well
as externally, through the publicity of the documentation in the Company’s website. This
communication process contributes to promote equity and independence.
Reasonableness
The Policy intends to ensure a balance between Sonaecom’s interests, market position, the
members of the governing bodies’ expectations and motivations, and talent retention.
The Company’s Remuneration and Compensation Policy incorporates the principle of not
contemplating any compensation to directors or to the members of other statutory governing bodies,
related to the termination of a mandate, irrespective of such termination occurring at the end of the
respective mandate or at an early stage, and of reason or cause, without prejudice to the Company’s
obligation to comply with the applicable law in this matter.
The Remuneration and Compensation Policy does not include any system of benefits, particularly
retirement benefits, in favour of the members of the statutory governing bodies.
In applying the Remuneration Policy, consideration is given to roles and responsibilities performed
in affiliated companies.
To ensure the effectiveness and transparency of the principles of the Remuneration and
Compensation Policy, executive directors shall not enter into agreements with the Company or third
SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A.
4
parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent to the variability of their remuneration
awarded by the Company.
2. To implement these principles set out above, the Remuneration and Compensation of
the members of the Statutory Governing Bodies shall respect the following rules:
Executive Board Members
The remuneration and compensation policy for the Executive Directors includes, in the way it is
structured, control mechanisms, taking into account the connection to personal and collective
performance, to prevent behaviors that involves excessive risk-taking. This objective is also
reinforced by the fact that each Key Performance Indicator is limited to a maximum value.
The remuneration of Executive Directors normally includes two components: (i) a fixed
component, which includes a Base Remuneration paid with reference to one year period
(remuneration is paid in 12 months) and an annual responsibility allowance, (ii) a variable
component, awarded in the first half of the year following the year to which it relates and subject
to the accomplishment of the targets and objectives fixed in the previous year and which is divided
into two parts (a) a Short Term Variable Bonus which is paid immediately after it is awarded, and
(b) a Medium Term Variable Bonus which vests and is paid after a 3 years deferral period,
considering that the exposure of Executive Directors to fluctuations in the share price is the most
appropriate way to align the interests of Executive Director with those of shareholders.
(i) The fixed remuneration of an Executive Director is based on the personal competences and
level of responsibility of the function exercised and is reviewed annually. Each Executive Director
is attributed a classification named internally as a Management Level (“Grupo Funcional”).
Executive Directors are classified under one of the following Management Levels: “Group Leader”
“Group Senior Executive”, or “Senior Executive”. The various Management Levels are structured
according to Korn Ferry’s international model for the classification of corporate functions, thereby
facilitating market comparisons, as well as helping to promote internal equity.
(ii) The variable bonus aims at directing and rewarding directors for the accomplishment of pre-
defined objectives, based on the performance of the Company, of working teams under their
responsibility and of their own individual performance, and is attributed once the year’s result is
known and performance assessment has been concluded.
- The Short Term Variable Bonus (STVB) corresponds to the maximum of 50% of
the total value of the variable bonus. This bonus is paid, in cash, in the first half
of the year following the year to which it relates. It may, however, upon decision
SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A.
5
of the Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee, be paid, within the same
deadline, in shares, subject to the terms and conditions setforth below for the
Medium Term variable Bonus; and,
- The Medium Term Variable Bonus (MTVB) or (MTIP) is designed to enhance the
sense of connection between the Executive Directors and the Company, aligning
their interests with the interests of the shareholders and increasing their
performance on the overall success of the organization. The MTVB value
awarded corresponds to at least 50% of the total value of the variable bonus for
each performance year.
a) Criteria of attribution and measurement of the variable premium
The short term bonus is awarded on the basis of the fulfilment of collective, departmental
and individual KPIs. Approximately 70% of its value is determined by business, economic
and financial objectives. Those objectives are divided either in collective and departmental
KPIs. The collective KPIs are based on economic and financial objectives accordingly with
the Company’s budget, the performance of each business unit as well as the consolidated
results of the Company. The departmental KPIs have a similar nature and are directly
influenced by the performance of the Executive Director. The remaining 30% are
determined by the achievement of individual KPIs, which may combine quantified and
unquantified indicators. As the amount of the award is subject to the accomplishment of
objectives, there is no guarantee that any payment will be made.
To determine the variable component of the remuneration an individual evaluation of the
performance is carried out by the Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee. This
assessment takes places after the results of the Company are known.
b) Variable bonus limitation Mechanisms
Taking into account the two variable components, the target values set in advance range
between 30% and 65% of the total annual remuneration (fixed remuneration and target
variable bonus).
At the time of determining the actual results achieved, the value of each bonus to be
awarded is limited to the minimum 0% and the maximum of 140% of the target value set in
advance.
The weigh of the variable component attributed in relation to the total amount of annual
remuneration depends on two factors: (i) the objective amount of the variable component;
and (ii) the level of achievement of the set objectives.
c) Mechanisms based on the allocation of shares of the Company and on the variable
remuneration payment deferral
SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A.

The MTIP contemplates a period of four years, considering the year to which it relates and
the deferral period of three years. The amount in euro is divided by the average closing
share price, to determine the number of shares to be granted. The amount converted in
shares will be adjusted for any changes occurred in equity or dividends (Total Share
Return) for a deferred period of 3 years.
The maturity of this component of the variable premium is subject to the maintenance of
the professional relationship between the director and the company for a period of 3 years,
as well as to the continued positive performance of the company over this period, which
will be assessed in accordance with criteria to be defined by the Remuneration Committee.
Aiming to ensure a policy that strengthens the alignment of Executive Directors with the
company’s long term objectives, the Remuneration Committee can, at its sole discretion,
determine an Executive Director’s co-payment in the acquisition of shares, which will
correspond to a percentage of the share price, up to 5% of its share price at the date of the
share transmission.
On the vesting date, the Company has the choice to settle in cash instead of shares.
The payment of the variable remuneration in cash can be made through any of the
approaches for revocation of the obligation provided in the Portuguese law and articles of
association.
The full Policy Regulation of the Share Plan to be applied by the Remuneration Committee
is attached to this proposal.
Non-Executive Board Members
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, when existing, will be determined according to
market data and based on the following principles: (i) payment of a fixed remuneration, dependent
on the presence at the Board of Directors meetings; (ii) payment of an annual responsibility
allowance. There will be no payment of a variable remuneration of any kind.
Statutory Audit Board
The remuneration of the members of the Company’s Statutory Audit Board shall be based
exclusively on fixed annual amounts, which include an Annual Responsibility Allowance. The
levels of remuneration are determined by taking into consideration the Company’s situation and
by benchmarking against the market.
Statutory External Auditor
The Company’s Statutory External Auditor shall be remunerated, under the supervision of the
Statutory Audit Board, in accordance with normal fee levels, benchmarked against the market.

Remuneration of the members of the Board of the Shareholders’ General Meeting is made up of
a fixed amount, based on the Company situation and market practices.
3. Regarding the 2019 financial exercise, and in order to comply with IPGC’s Code
recommendation V.2.3, it is hereby additionally disclosed:
3.1. The remuneration attributed by the Company to the members of the Board of Directors:
In the attribution of total remuneration, the Company’s Shareholders Remuneration Committee
applied, in a regular and ordinary way, the principles and rules of the Remuneration and
Compensation Policy of the Statutory Governing Bodies as approved at the Shareholders’ General
Meeting held on 30 April 2019, as below detailed (and considering that the content of the present
proposal constitutes a renewal of such principles and rules, for the ease of reading reference is
hereby made to the relevant sections of this proposal):
a) The fixed remuneration considers the median of market values applicable to the fixed
remuneration, as per paragraph a) of point (ii) of section 2 above;
b) any other roles and responsibilities performed in Sonaecom’s affiliated companies were also
considered;
c) The short term performance bonus corresponds to the executive director’s performance as per
paragraph a) of point (ii) of section 2 above, having been considered the degree of accomplishment
of the individual and collective KPIs (departmental and business) as well as the weight of the
objective value of the variable component, according to the table included in paragraph b) of point
(ii) of the same section 2, and attributed the corresponding short term bonus. When weighing the
KPIs degree of accomplishment, in relation to each of the executive directors, it was respectively
considered economic and financial indicators assessing the sustainable development of the
company and of the Group, defined according to budget, performance of each business unit and
the Company’s consolidated performance (collective KPIs), as well each director’s specific
contribution to business performance (departmental KPIs); and objective and subject indicators

that, for the reference period, assessed the level of fulfilment of the duties and responsibilities
individually undertaken by each executive director (individual KPIs);
d) The medium term performance bonus was attributed according to the set forth in paragraph c)
of point (ii) of section 2 above, in light of share price evolution of the number of shares representing
the conversion of the objective reference value established in 2015, as 3 years have passed since
the attribution year, thereby ensuring the alignment of the interest of executive directors with the
Company’s medium and long term sustainable interest;
e) No agreements were executed with the object of attributing loss of office based compensations
to directors, or that establish the possibility of restitution of the variable component, without
prejudice to the Company’s obligation to comply with the applicable legal provisions in this matter.

Appendix of Declaration of the Remuneration Committee about the Remuneration and Compensation Policy for statutory governing bodies of
Sonaecom
STOCK PLAN POLICY (Medium term variable bonus – MTVB)
Characteristics and Regulation
1. Characteristics of MTVB
MTVB is one of the components of Sonaecom’s Remuneration and Compensation Policy. This plan may be composed of Sonaecom’s and/or Sonae – SGPS, S.A. shares and is distinct from others due to its restrictive and volunteer nature, with attribution conditional to the eligibility rules described in this document.
MTVB allows participants to share with shareholders value created, through their direct intervention in strategy definition and business management, based on the result of the annual performance evaluation.
2. Scope of MTVB
MTVB aims to align executive directors’ interests with the objectives of the organisation, strengthening their commitment and the perception of the importance of their performance to Sonaecom’s success, reflected in the market capitalisation of the share.
3. Elegibility
Executive directors of Sonaecom, SGPS, SA. are eligible for the attribution of the MTVB.
4. Duration of MTVB
MTVB is set on an annual basis, for a period of three years (thus contemplating a period of four years, considering the year to which it relates and the deferral period of three years). From the beginning of the third consecutive plan, in each moment, three plans with three year duration will coexist.
SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A.

5. MTVB reference amount
The MTVB is valued at the date of attribution using prices which represent the price of the share, in the Portuguese stock market, considering for this effect the most favourable of the following: closing share price of the first day of trading after the General Meeting of Shareholders or the average closing share price (regarding the thirty-day period of trading prior to the General Meeting of Shareholders). Members entitled to MTVB have the right to acquire a number of shares corresponding to the division between the amount of MTVB granted and the price of the share at the date of attribution calculated under the terms of the previous paragraph. Such right can be exercised three years after attribution. The maturity of this component of the variable premium is subject to the maintenance of the professional relationship between the director and the company for a period of 3 years, as well as to the continued positive performance of the company over this period, which will be assessed in accordance with criteria to be defined by the Remuneration Committee. Aiming to ensure a policy that strengthens the alignment of executive directors with the company’s long term objectives, the Remuneration Committee can, at its sole discretion, determine an executive director’s co-payment in the acquisition of shares, which will correspond to a percentage of the share price, up to 5% of its share price at the date of the share transmission.
If dividends are distributed, changes in the nominal value of shares or in the share capital of the company occur or any other change in equity with impact in the economic value of attributed rights, after the granting date and before its exercise, the amount converted in shares will be adjusted to an equivalent figure considering the effect of the mentioned changes. The MTVB reference value (% of target total variable remuneration) shall correspond to at least fifty percent (50%),
6. Delivery by the Company
At the moment of the exercise of the share acquisition right under the MTVB, the Company reserves itself the right of, instead of the shares, allowing its acquisition at a discounted price or of delivering the cash equivalent amount of the shares market value at the date of the exercise of the right.
7. Due date of MTVB
The right to acquire shares granted via MTVB expires, the period of deferral, this is three years after its attribution.
8. Conditions to exercise acquisition rights
The right to exercise acquisition rights of shares granted under MTVB plans expires if the contractual link between the member and the company ceases before the three year period subsequent to its attribution, notwithstanding situations included in the following paragraphs. The right will remain valid in case of permanent incapacity or death of the member, in which case payment is made to the member himself or to his/her heirs on the vesting date.
SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A.

In case of retirement of the member, the attributed right can be exercised in the respective vesting date. The current policy is extensive to all active plans regarding which shares have not yet been transmitted. To ensure the effectiveness and transparency of the principles of the Remuneration and Compensation Policy, it was established that the Executive Directors of the Sonaecom SGPS SA, shall not enter into agreements with the Company or third parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent to the variability of their remuneration awarded by the Sonaecom SGPS, S.A..
