The following principles are also employed:
★
★
For the fulfilment of their duties as a member of the
Board of Directors, the non-executive directors receive a
fixed amount taking account of an attendance of a
minimum number of meetings of the Board of Directors;
★
★
The members of the committees are allocated a fixed
amount every time they attend a meeting of the
committee, with additional fixed remuneration for the
president of the Audit Committee and of the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee;
★
★
The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief
Executive Officers are allocated a fixed annual amount
for participating in the Board of Directors meetings;
★
★
The non-executive directors do not receive any bonuses,
participation in long-term share-based incentive
programs, benefits in kind (with the exception of the
right to attend a number of film screenings each year) or
benefits related to pension plans;
★
★
Alongside fixed remuneration, Executive Management
receives variable remuneration dependent on the
attainment of the management targets set by the Board
of Directors on the recommendation of the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee. These targets include
both quantitative targets set annually, the criterion for
which is the attainment of a certain level of consolidated
current net profit, and qualitative targets, which are
defined as targets that are to be attained over several
years, progress of which is evaluated on an annual basis.
The variable part of the remuneration ensures that the
interests of Executive Management run parallel to the
Group’s, leads to value creation and loyalty, and provides
the appropriate incentive to optimize the short-term and
long-term objectives of the Group and its shareholders;
★
★
As well as this variable remuneration, an
“outperformance” bonus may be allocated to Executive
Management if the quantitative targets are substantially
exceeded. Long-term incentives in the form of share
options or other financial instruments of the Company or
its subsidiaries may also be allocated to Executive
Management. The remuneration package for Executive
Management may additionally include participation
in the corporate pension plan and/or the use of a
company car;
★
★
The Company’s formal right to claim back variable
remuneration and “outperformance” bonus granted on
the basis of incorrect financial data was not explicitely
provided for in such cases;
★
★
The exit compensation for a member of Executive
Management in the event of early termination of a
contract (entered into after 1 July 2009) will not exceed
twelve (12) months’ basic and variable remuneration.
A higher compensation may be granted in specific
justifiable circumstances, on the recommendation of the
NRC and with the prior approval of the General Meeting,
but may never exceed eighteen (18) months’ basic and
variable remuneration. In any event, the exit
compensation may not exceed twelve (12) months’ basic
remuneration and the variable remuneration cannot be
taken into account if the departing person has not met
the performance criteria referred to in his or her
contract.
