at six months’ notice. Executive Board members are each
similarly entitled if confronted by sustained and substantial
pressure from shareholders demanding that they resign or
take specific action which the members concerned are unable
to reconcile with their personal responsibility for the exercise
of office. In compensation for the premature termination of their
contracts, the departing Executive Board members receive
a severance award equaling at least two years’ benefits com­
prising their annual salary plus contractually agreed bonuses
as paid in the previous year. If an Executive Board member’s
contract has more than two years left to run from the effective
date of termination, the severance award increases by an appro­
priate amount. Regarding any entitlements under the Com­
pany’s long­term incentive plans and their contractual pension
arrangements, the departing Executive Board members are
treated as if their contract had two years left to run from the
termination date.
