8. Resolution on the compensation of the Supervisory Board members
​According to Section 113 Paragraph 3 AktG, a resolution on the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board must be adopted at least every four years, whereby a resolution that confirms the compensation is permissible. As the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting most recently resolved on the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board in 2021, a new resolution is required according to the regular cycle.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board have reviewed the current compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board, which is specifically established in Section 12 of the Articles of Association and abstractly described in the system for the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board. This review did not yield a need to undertake any changes. The current compensation of the Supervisory Board has instead proven effective in the opinion of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board. It conforms with customary market standards and the statutory regulations, and takes into account the requirements of the German Corporate Governance Code.

The compensation according to Section 113 Paragraph 3 AktG is available on the Company’s website at

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board therefore propose that the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board according to the current abstract system with the disclosures required according to Section 87a Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 AktG and the provisions specified in Section 12 of the Articles of Association with regard to the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board be confirmed.
