The emoluments paid to members of the Supervisory Board consist of a fixed and a variable component. The variable component is determined as a percentage of the Group profit (EBT) as shown in the consolidated income statement before deduction of income tax and non-controlling interests. This percentage is reduced in line with increases in the consolidated profit. The emoluments paid to the members of the Supervisory Board are detailed in the Notes of the Annual Report 2011.

For the same reasons as those adduced under "Remuneration of Executive Board Members", it has been decided to refrain from publishing details of the fixed and performance-linked remuneration of each individual member of the Supervisory Board.
