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 />

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 />

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.
