Remuneration 2020

The overall sum of a maximum of CHF 540,000 approved by the 2019 General Meeting, was exceeded by CHF 174,834. The reasons for this sum being exceeded are the numerous additional meetings of the Board of Directors as well as several additional meetings of the Audit Committee (AC), the Governance, Nomination and Compensation Committee (GNCC) and the Strategy Committee (SC) due to the strategic realignment, the necessary development and implementation of a comprehensive package of measures to strengthen the capital structure and the shareholder base as well as the personnel changes in the Executive Board.
