6. Remuneration architecture for the Board of Directors

The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors is defined in a regulation adopted by the Board of Directors and consists of an annual fixed retainer and remuneration for committee work. The remuneration is paid in the form of shares subject to a four-year blocking period. In addition, the members of the Board of Directors receive a lump sum to cover their expenses, paid out in cash.

The Chair of the Board of Directors receives an annual total fixed retainer paid 70% in cash and 30% in restricted shares subject to a four-year blocking period. The Chair also receives the expense allowance but is not entitled to additional fees for committee attendance.

A benchmark analysis was performed in 2022 to review the structure and amount of the remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors. The analysis indicated that the remuneration system for the Board of Directors of Geberit is in line with customary market practices and no modifications to the structure and amount of remuneration for the Board of Directors were necessary:

The remuneration is paid out at the end of the term of office and is subject to contributions to social security. The members of the Board of Directors are not covered under the company pension plan.

The shares are subject to an accelerated unblocking in case of death. They remain subject to the regular blocking period of four years in all other instances.

Further information regarding the remuneration amounts for the period from the 2025 Annual General Meeting to the 2026 Annual General Meeting is provided in the invitation to the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
