Short-term incentive
The Supervisory Board decided in late 2009 to defer the receipt of 50 percent of the short-term incentive for the CEO and 25 percent for the other members. This deferred payment was made subject to the company achieving its medium-term target of an EBITDA margin of 14 percent at the end of 2011. Because this target was achieved in 2010 the Supervisory Board justified the pay-out of the deferred short-term incentive of 2009 in February 2011. As a consequence, an amount of €464,000 will be paid to Mr. Wijers and €113,100 to the other members of the Board of Management. These amounts are included in the short-term incentives as mentioned above; the regular short-term incentive over 2010 amounted to €820,200 for Mr. Wijers and €399,900 for the other Board members.
Post-employment benefits
Pension premiums were incurred over the deferred short-term incentive over 2009. These amounts, together with the premiums over the 2010 remuneration, are included in the post-employment benefits as presented above.
Other short-term benefits
Other short-term benefits include employer’s charges and other compensations. Employer’s charges refer to social contributions and healthcare contributions. The social charges of Mr. Nichols (€162,200) related to employer’s contribution in the UK. A compensation for living expenses and home leave allowances was paid to Mr. Darner (€147,400) and Mr. Nichols (€51,100).
Share-based compensation
The costs for share-based compensation are non-cash and related to the performance-related share plan following IFRS 2.
Stock options
As from 2008, no stock options were granted to the members of the Board of Management. The aggregate numbers of stock options held by the members of the Board of Management were as follows:
