Remuneration paid to the Group Board of Management in the previous year 
Pension commitments under the previous system
 e members of the Board of Management have direct pension commitments on the
basis of their individual contracts, providing for bene ts in case of permanent disability,
death or retirement. If the contract of a member ends a er at least  ve years of service
on the Board of Management, the entitlements he has acquired will vest. Members be-
come entitled to bene ts due to permanent disability a er at least  ve years of service.
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 annuity payments and a lump sum payment.  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 over the last  calendar months of employ-
ment. Members 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 Manage-
ment.  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
increases gradually based on either the period of service or the periods of appoint-
ment on the Board of Management. Subsequent pension bene ts increase or decrease
to re ect changes in the consumer price index in Germany.
