Pension commitments under the new system
Since  March , newly appointed Board of Management members have been
granted pension commitments based upon a dened contribution plan. Under the
dened contribution pension plan, the company credits an annual amount of   of
the annual base salary to a virtual pension account for the Board of Management
member concerned. e maximum contribution period is  years. e pension capital
accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the “iBoxx Corporates  + Annual Yield”
rate, or at an annual rate of .  at minimum, and will continue to do so until the
pension benets fall due. e pension benets are paid out in a lump sum in the amount
of the value accumulated in the pension account. e benets fall due when the Board
of Management member reaches the age of  or in the case of invalidity or death whilst
in oce. In the event of benets falling due, the pension beneciary may opt to receive
an annuity payment in lieu of a lump sum payment. If this option is exercised, the cap-
ital is converted to an annuity payment, taking into account the average “iBoxx Corpor-
ates  + Annual Yield” for the past ten full calendar years as well as the individual
data of the surviving dependants and a future pension increase of   per year.
