At the General Meeting of 24 April 2020, the total amount of fixed remuneration for the year 2021 will be submitted for approval.

The remuneration for members of the Board of Directors is made up of the following components:

a) Non-profit-related (fixed) remuneration

Each member of the Board of Directors receives a fixed basic fee which is determined in advance and is laid down in the regulations. This is identical for each member. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman receive higher fees. Additional fees are paid for membership and chairmanship of specialist committees in order to take into account the individual responsibility and workload involved. The remuneration established for each member is paid in cash on a quarterly basis.

b) Attendance fees

An attendance fee is paid for each meeting or, if more than one meeting is held on a given day, for each day. The level of the attendance fee is laid down in the regulations governing the remuneration of the Board of Directors.

c) Expenses

All the members of the Board of Directors receive a lump sum expenses allowance.
