Remuneration of the Supervisory Board

Each member of the Supervisory Board receives annual remuneration which consists of a fixed and a variable component that depend on the scope of activity and the responsibility of the individual Supervisory Board member and the financial position and success of the company. The fixed remuneration component comes to € 40,000 for each member of the Supervisory Board.

The variable component is geared to the success of the company in the longer term and comes to € 300.00 per full € 5 million on the portion of the pre-tax result – prior to deduction of minority interest in the consolidated financial statements of the company (EBT) – which exceeds € 150 million on average over the last three financial years (including the year when remuneration is paid).

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board receives double and the Vice Chairman one and a half times the amount from the addition of the respective remuneration components. The sum total of both remuneration components paid annually is limited to € 160,000 for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, to € 120,000 for the Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board and to € 80,000 for all other Supervisory Board members. Beyond this, compensation is paid for membership of the committees of the Supervisory Board as well as attendance fees.
