As a general principle, investment firms should not award multiple retention bonuses to a staff member; in exceptional cases and where duly justified, more than one retention bonus may be paid to a staff member, but at different moments in time and under the conditions specified in this section with regard to each retention bonus. The retention bonuses should only be awarded after the retention conditions and applicable performance conditions have been met. Moreover, the retention bonus should only be awarded if no reasons exist that lead to a situation where the retention bonus should not be awarded, e.g. material compliance breaches, misconduct or other failures of that staff member.
