The variable remuneration for the CEO and other senior executives may not exceed 50% of their fixed salary. Pension terms are to be based on defined-contribution pension solutions. The period of notice in case of termination by the Company may not exceed six months. During the period of notice of up to six months, the employee receives a full salary and employee benefits. Decisions regarding share-based and share price-based incentive schemes are made by the general shareholders’ meeting.
