Annual Report 2021

Comparative presentation of compensation and earnings development

The comparative presentation in accordance with section 162 (1) no. 2 of the AktG shows the annual change in the compensation of the members of the Executive Board and the members of the Supervisory Board, the development of earnings of the Group as well as the development of the average remuneration of a full-time employee of the Group over the last five years.

For employee compensation, the average personnel expenses excluding company pension costs are used. This reflects the total compensation of employees worldwide.

For members of the Executive Board, the compensation awarded and due in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 is used in accordance with section 162 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). For the years 2019, 2018 and 2017, the allocated compensation is used excluding the service costs according to the DCGK sample table in the compensation report of the respective fiscal year.

The increase in Supervisory Board compensation is due to the introduction of additional compensation for the Audit Committee.
