ditions of the performance share plan, entitlements cannot<br />

be described with a particular fixed number at the time of<br />

granting. The value of the performance shares distributed in<br />

2010 was calculated by external experts using recognised<br />

financial-mathematical methods (Monte Carlo simulation).<br />

Messrs Mierdorf and Unger received no performance shares<br />

distributed in the tranche for 2010. There were no rights<br />

from previous tranches of the performance share plan and<br />

the share bonus programme.<br />

In addition to the tranche from the performance share plan<br />

distributed in the financial year 2010, dr Cordes, Mr Muller<br />

and Mr Saveuse possess rights from the tranche from 2009.<br />

2009, did not receive any performance shares from the<br />

tranche distributed from the performance share plan in 2009.<br />

Services after the end of employment in the financial year<br />

2010 (including pension provisions)<br />

In the financial year 2010, a total of €23.9 million (previous<br />

year: €0.5 million) was used for remuneration of the active<br />

members of the Management Board of <strong>METRO</strong> AG for benefits<br />

provided after the end of their employment. Of this total, about<br />

€0.1 million each went to dr Cordes, Mr Koch, Mr Muller and<br />

Mr Saveuse for pension provisions. Mr Unger received<br />

€0.075 million. The cash value of these commitments remaining<br />

after netting against the pension plan reinsurance totalled<br />

€1.8 million, which was allotted to Mr Mierdorf.<br />

during the financial year 2010, agreements to prematurely<br />

terminate the employment contracts of Messrs Mierdorf<br />

and Unger were concluded.<br />

A severance package agreement was concluded with<br />

Mr Mierdorf, who amicably agreed to leave the Management<br />

Board as at the close of business on 1 March 2010, as compensation<br />

for the remainder of his employment contract. This<br />

agreement includes both a fixed and a variable component.<br />

The fixed component paid in the financial year 2010 covers<br />

entitlements of Mr Mierdorf arising from his employment contract<br />

and makes allowance for the growth of performanceand<br />

share-based remuneration components based on conservative<br />

estimates. In 2010, the variable components of the<br />

severance agreement resulted in additional remuneration<br />

derived from the Company’s business success and can also<br />

result in further compensation from 2011 to 2013. As a variable<br />

severance agreement payment, Mr Mierdorf is entitled to the<br />

potential difference between total performance-based remuneration<br />

that he would have received as a member of the Management<br />

Board and the amount already paid as part of the<br />

severance agreement. To perform duties that are in the Company’s<br />

interest, a consulting contract was concluded with<br />

Mr Mierdorf. The consulting fee will be credited against possible<br />

entitlements to a variable severance agreement payment.<br />

A pension commitment made to Mr Mierdorf before he<br />

assumed his position on the Management Board will be payable<br />

at the time that the consulting contract expires. An annual<br />

adjustment to cover the increased cost of living was conducted<br />

for the final time as at 1 January 2009. As a result of a previous<br />

commitment made prior to his appointment to the Management<br />

Board, the agreement to terminate his employment contract<br />

includes a payment amounting to the average remuneration<br />

from the previous two calendar years based on the fixed<br />

salary and the performance-based compensation.
