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.
