Supervisory Board remuneration

In accordance with Article 17 of the Articles of Association of Deutsche Post AG as adopted by the AGM, the annual remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board comprises a fixed component, a short-term performance-related component and a performance-related component with a long-term incentive effect.

The fixed component amounts to €20,000, and the short-term performance-related component to €300 for every €0.03 by which the consolidated net profit per share exceeds the amount of €0.50 in the financial year in question. In 2009, the consolidated net profit per share was €0.53 and therefore exceeded the amount of €0.50 once by €0.03. For financial year 2009, the members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to annual performance-related remuneration with a long-term incentive effect of €300 for every 3% by which the consolidated net profit per share for financial year 2011 exceeds the consolidated net profit per share for financial year 2008. The amount received may not exceed €20,000. The remuneration will fall due for payment at the end of the 2012 AGM.

The chairman of the Supervisory Board receives double the remuneration, and his deputy one and half times the remuneration. The chairman of a Supervisory Board committee also receives double the remuneration, whilst a member of a committee receives one and a half times the remuneration. This does not apply to members of the Mediation and Nomination Committee. Persons who only serve on the Supervisory Board and its committees for part of the year receive corresponding compensation on a pro rata basis. The members of the Supervisory Board are entitled to claim out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the exercise of their office. Any value added tax on the Supervisory Board remuneration and out-of-pocket expenses is reimbursed. In addition, each member of the Supervisory Board attending a meeting receives an attendance allowance of €500 for each plenary meeting of the Supervisory Board or committee meeting.
