The total fixed compensation in the fiscal year under review is CHF 37,000 above the previous fiscal year. This increase is due to the adjustment of the fixed component paid to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Annual General Meeting of July 3, 2020 approved aggregate fixed compensation in the amount of CHF 640,000 (gross, incl. social insurance contributions) for the Board of Directors (5 persons) for fiscal year 2020. The amount of compensation actually paid was CHF 30,000 less than the approved amount.

2 This amount includes Rainer Dübi’s compensation for the 2019 fiscal year and pro rata compensation for Martin Wendel until August 31, 2019.
3 This amount includes a contingency reserve of CHF 250,000.

The CEO’s fixed compensation for the period under review is comparable to the level from the previous fiscal year. The total amount of fixed compensation for the other members of the Executive Management is CHF 91,000 less than in the prior-year period. This is because fixed compensation was paid to 5 persons during the reporting period, whereas in the previous year compensation was paid to 6 persons over 5 months. The Annual General Meeting of July 6, 2019 approved a total sum of CHF 2’120,000 (gross, including social insurance contributions) for the fixed compensation of the entire Executive Management for the fiscal year 2020. The amount of fixed compensation actually paid (gross, including social insurance contributions) was CHF 177,000 less than the approved amount.

The annual bonus for the Executive Management in fiscal year 2020 was the same as in the previous year. Personnel expenses for the Executive Management’s long-term incentive pay rose by CHF 196,000 from the previous year. The provision made for the long-term incentive pay has been adjusted based on the assessment of business performance over a multi-year period. Such an adjustment is in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER, requiring that the related expenses must be allocated over the program’s vesting period, which can lead to adjustments within individual fiscal years.

The total variable compensation for the individual members of the Executive Management for the period under review ranged from 36% to 40% of total compensation.
