The members of the Supervisory Board receive a fixed yearly remuneration amount in accordance with § 13 of METRO AG’s Articles of Association. In financial year 2021/22, this amounted to €80,000 per ordinary member. Pursuant to § 13 Section 6 of the Articles of Association, METRO AG reimburses the members of the Supervisory Board for expenses incurred as part of performing their office duties as well as any value added tax payable on the remuneration and the reimbursement of expenses.
The individual amount of Supervisory Board remuneration takes into account the duties and responsibilities of the individual members of the Supervisory Board by considering special assignments. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board is entitled to receive 2.5 times, and the Vice Chairman 1.5 times, the set amount of the annual fixed remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board. Additional committee remuneration is allocated to the members of the various committees as follows: €40,000 for the members of the Audit Committee, €30,000 for the members of the Presidential Committee, €10,000 for the members of the Nomination Committee, and €20,000 for the members of any future committees. The chairperson of each of these committees receives 2 times the amount set for the committee. No additional committee remuneration is granted for membership and chairmanship of the Mediation Committee (committee pursuant to § 27 Section 3 of the German Co-determination Act (MitbestG)). The additional committee remuneration for a membership or chairmanship of a committee is only paid if at least 2 meetings or other resolutions of this committee have taken place in the respective financial year.
Members of the Supervisory Board who have only belonged to the Supervisory Board for part of the financial year receive one twelfth of the remuneration for each month of their active time in office. This applies accordingly to memberships in a committee, the chairmanship or vice chairmanship of the Supervisory Board or the chairmanship of a committee.
In each case, the remuneration is payable at the end of the respective financial year.
In accordance with the corresponding suggestion of the German Corporate Governance Code, the remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board is structured as purely fixed remuneration. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid conflicts of interest in the performance of their duties.
The following table shows the remuneration granted to the members of the Supervisory Board for financial year 2021/22 (vesting period-based perspective).
