In addition to remuneration as members of the Executive Board, Dr. Gunnar Wiedenfels, Dr. Ralf Schremper and Sabine Eckhardt were paid amounts from multi-year variable compensation in the financial year 2017 due to rights from the period before commencing their work as Executive Board members.

3

In addition to adjustments to performance share units granted for anti-dilution protection for a superdividend (1.23) and to the conversion factor (102.7%), the payment for the Group Share Plan 2012 also includes the individual increase by the Supervisory Board (17.5%) measured in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan with a share price as of the date the conversion factor was determined.

The payment for the Group Share Plan 2013 includes an adjustment of the conversion factor for the performance share units granted (107.6%) measured in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan with a share price as of the date the conversion factor was determined.

Dr. Jan Kemper receives a compensation payment for forfeited entitlements from the stock option program of his previous employer.

6

Pension cost comprises service cost in accordance with IAS 19. This comprises past service costs for 2016 in the case of Jan David Frouman and Christof Wahl and for 2017 in the case of Sabine Eckhardt and Dr. Jan Kemper as a result of pension commitments granted during the year.

In accordance with the termination agreement from his previous executive contract, Christof Wahl was granted EUR 100,000 in financial year 2016, which was deducted from his fixed remuneration.

8

Dr. Gunnar Wiedenfels left the Executive Board effective March 31, 2017; his employment contract ended effective March 31, 2017. The fixed and annual variable compensation shown relates to January to March 2017; the pension cost relates to the financial year 2017 as a whole. Since the three-year waiting period for the contractual vesting was not reached, the pension agreement provides only for entitlements that Dr. Gunnar Wiedenfels obtained from deferred compensation. The performance share units from the Group Share Plan 2015 and 2016 vested as of the termination date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan are settled in cash; otherwise, the non-vested PSUs as of the termination date expire without compensation. As annual variable compensation (performance bonus), Dr. Gunnar Wiedenfels receives a pro rata, non-performance-based amount of EUR 81,250.

Dr. Ralf Schremper left the Executive Board effective July 31, 2017; his employment contract ended effective July 31, 2017. The fixed compensation shown relates to January to July 2017; the pension cost relates to the financial year 2017 as a whole. Dr. Ralf Schremper’s entitlement to the annual variable compensation (performance bonus) for financial year 2017 was satisfied in full with the severance payment.
