At the Annual General Meeting 2024, the new compensation system for the members of the Supervisory Board was approved with a voting result of 99.06%. The new compensation system has been in force since May 1, 2024. The previous compensation system applied until April 30, 2024.
Essentially, the following amendments have been introduced:
With these adjustments, the company aims to raise the compensation of the Supervisory Board to a competitive level in line with market standards. The fixed compensation of the Supervisory Board members was increased from € 47,000 to € 75,000 and the attendance fee from € 750 to € 1,000. In addition, the differentiation factor between the Chair and the ordinary members of the Supervisory Board was increased from 2 to 1 to 2.5 to 1. In addition, the compensation for the Audit Committee was increased from € 15,000 to € 50,000. The Chair of the Audit Committee also receives an additional annual compensation of € 100,000. Membership of the Nomination Committee will continue to be not additionally compensated. In addition, the members of the Supervisory Board receive an attendance fee of € 1,000 for each meeting of the Supervisory Board in which they participate. If several meetings take place on one day, the attendance fee is only paid once. Participation in a meeting using electronic media is also considered to be participation. The members of the Supervisory Board are covered by the Directors-and-Officers insurance. Expenses are reimbursed to the respective members of the Supervisory Board.
Compensation awarded or due to the members of the Supervisory Board in fiscal 2024
The following table illustrates the compensation awarded or due and the respective relative share of the total compensation for the current members of the Supervisory Board. The compensation components are allocated to the fiscal year in which the service was rendered, regardless of the actual time of payment or its legal due date. For the members of the Supervisory Board who joined or left the Supervisory Board in the financial year, the amounts are disclosed on a pro rata basis.
There were no payments to former members of the Supervisory Board in the fiscal year.
