Eligibility for retirement bene ts begins at the earliest at the age of , or at the age of
 in the case of Jürgen Gerdes.  e members of the Board of Management may choose
between regular pension payments and a lump sum.  e bene t amount depends on the
pensionable income and the pension level derived from the years of service.
Pensionable income consists of the  xed annual remuneration (annual base salary)
computed on the basis of the average salary of the last  months of employment. Mem-
bers of the Board of Management appointed for the  rst time between  and 
attain a pension level of   a er  ve years of service on the Board of Management.
e maximum pension level of   is attained a er ten years of service. For active
Board of Management members appointed prior to , the maximum pension level
is  . Depending on the individual contractual arrangements, the pension level in-
creases gradually based on either the period of service or the periods of appointment
on the Board of Management. Subsequent pension bene ts increase or decrease to
re ect changes in the consumer price index in Germany.
