1 This amount includes Rainer Dübi’s compensation for the 2019 fiscal year and pro rata compensation for Martin Wendel until August 31, 2019.
2 This amount includes a contingency reserve of CHF 250’000.
3 This amount includes Martin Wendel’s compensation for the 2018 fiscal year as well as pro rata compensation for Rainer Dübi from February 15, 2019.
4 This amount includes a contingency reserve of CHF 250’000.

The CEO’s fixed compensation for the period under review is comparable to the level from the previous fiscal year. The total amount of fixed compensation for the other members of the Executive Board is CHF 96’000 more than in the prior-year period. This is because fixed compensation was paid to 6 persons during the first 5 months of the reporting period. The Annual General Meeting of July 6, 2018 approved a total sum of CHF 2’120’000 (gross, including social insurance contributions) for the fixed compensation of the entire Executive Board for the fiscal year 2019. The amount of fixed compensation actually paid (gross, including social insurance contributions) was CHF 97’000 less than the approved amount.

The annual bonus for the Executive Board in fiscal year 2019 was CHF 147’000 more than in the previous year. This is because of the increase in reported net profit, which serves as the basis for the annual bonus, because the targets set in conjunction with the Group and divisional factors described above were exceeded and because 6 persons were drawing a base salary during the first 5 months of the reporting period. Personnel expenses for the Executive Board’s long-term incentive pay rose by CHF 47’000 from the previous year. The provision made for the long-term incentive pay has been adjusted for two reasons: firstly, on the basis of an assessment of business performance over a multi-year period; secondly, in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, the related expenses must be allocated over the program’s vesting period, which can lead to adjustments within individual fiscal years.

The total variable compensation for the individual members of the Executive Board for the period under review ranged from 28% to 33% of total compensation.
