Instead of a pension commitment, the Chairman, Dr. Jürgen Großmann receives an annual €2,000,000.

The retained 25 % of the bonus is not included in 2010 compensation because it does not have an impact on remuneration until the end of the three-year period and only affects it if the necessary prerequisites are met. (see also RWE Compensation Report 2010).
