As part of the multi-year share-based payment (LTI), payments of €0.5 million were made to the members of the Management Board of UNIQA Insurance Group AG in 2018. For the subsequent years 2019 to 2022, a payment of €2.1 million is expected for the virtual shares allocated up to 31 December 2018.

In addition to the above-mentioned employee benefits, the following pension fund contributions were made for the existing pension commitments to the members of the Management Board during the financial year. The compensation payments arise if a member of the Management Board steps down before the age of 65 because pension entitlements are generally funded in full until the age of 65 to avoid over-financing.

The remuneration paid to the members of the Supervisory Board for their work in the 2017 financial year amounted to €481,875. Provisions of €739,375 have been set aside for the remuneration to be paid for work completed in 2018. In 2018, a total of €67,400 was paid to cover attendance fees and out-of-pocket expenses (2017: €61,400). Given the raised requirements and the increasing time necessary for activities in the Audit Committee and in the other committees of the Supervisory Board, the remuneration components for committee functions performed have been increased. This explains the rise from €543,275 in 2017 to €806,775 in 2018.
