Remuneration of the supervisory board
Page 16
The remuneration of the supervisory board is based on a proposal submitted by the management
board and supervisory board and passed by the annual general meeting as a constituent part of the
company’s statutes. Supervisory board remuneration takes account of the size and global alignment of
the group, the duties and responsibilities of the supervisory board members as well as the economic
position of the group. It comprises a fixed remuneration component and a success-linked remuneration
component based on group earnings.
As part of the fixed remuneration component of the Praktiker Bau- und Heimwerkermärkte Holding AG
pay scheme, the positions of chairman, deputy chairman as well as chairman and member of committees
are awarded additional compensation. The chairman receives three times, the deputy and the
chairmen of the various committees receive two times, and the other committee members one and a
half times the fixed and success-linked amounts of remuneration received by a member of the supervisory
board without these special duties. If a member of the supervisory board holds a number of positions
simultaneously, he or she receives the remuneration for only one position, in the case of varying
levels of remuneration for the position with the highest level of remuneration. All members are reimbursed
for the expenses they incur.
The success-linked remuneration component is based on the amount by which consolidated earnings
before the deduction of taxes and minority interests as well as before the scheduled amortisation of
goodwill as an average of the past financial year and the two previous financial years exceed 25 million
euros.
No loans are granted to supervisory board members nor are any liability commitments entered into on
their behalf.
No pension entitlements exist in respect of supervisory board members either. Severance payments
are not stipulated in the company’s statuts.
In addition, the company reimburses any value-added tax imposed on the supervisory board remuneration
components.
