Remuneration of the Supervisory Board

The remuneration system for the Supervisory Board consists of a fixed remuneration plus an attendance fee. This is in line with the recommendation G.18 sentence 1 German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC). The structure of Supervisory Board remuneration, providing for fixed remuneration only, strengthens the Board’s independence and provides for a counterbalance to the structure of Executive Board remuneration, which is mainly variable and aligned with Deutsche Börse Group's growth strategy. Supervisory Board remuneration therefore contributes to the implementation of the business strategy, and thus promotes Deutsche Börse Group's long-term development.
