Supervisory Board Compensation

The currently applicable compensation rules for the Supervisory Board were adopted by the Annual General Meeting on 13 June 2003 and are outlined in Section 11 of the articles of incorporation of Bechtle AG. Bechtle AG presents the compensation of Supervisory Board members in individualised form. The compensation structure takes the responsibility and scope of activity of the individual members into account. The chairmanship, vice-chairmanship, and committee activities are taken into consideration.

Contrary to the DCGK recommendation (Section 5.4.6 (2)), the compensation does not contain any performance-related component. In the company’s opinion, the Supervisory Board’s successful and responsible fulfilment of duties does not necessitate such a component.
