The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
What would count as true or false
True if Ørsted's announcement or remuneration report shows that Mads Nipper's fixed base salary was DKK 15 million including pension contribution and that the package fell within the remuneration policy, meaning its components and caps fit the policy as approved. Mostly true if the salary is about DKK 15 million but a minor detail differs, such as how pension is treated. Mixed or mostly false if the salary differs materially. False if no such package existed or it plainly breached the policy.

“Pension contributions are considered included in the fixed base salary.”
Reasoning
The resolution criteria name Ørsted's own remuneration report as the test. Its 2021 table lists Mads Nipper's fixed base salary as DKK 15,000 thousand (E2), and the report states that pension contributions are included in the fixed base salary (E3), which matches the claim. The report also states that 2021 Executive Board remuneration was in line with the remuneration policy (E1). All evidence comes from Ørsted itself, but the salary table is a specific record of what was paid, as the criteria contemplate.
