- Base salaries (fixed): €898,435 (including €60,000 in the form of pension contributions).

The value of the 50% deferred part of the bonus awarded over 2013 was established at the end of 2016 and resulted in a payment in early January 2017 of an amount of €521,192.64 (a multiple of 4.01 of the deferred bonus, as a result of the share price performance over the period 2013-2016 as per the provisions of the Senior Management Bonus Scheme).

In its meeting of 7 December 2016 the board of directors resolved, upon recommendation of the nomination and remuneration committee, to implement salary increases as from 2017 for the members of the executive committee generally in line with the increases awarded in previous years, based on individual performance and taking into account relevant benchmarks. The principles applied for such increases were in line with the Remuneration Policy described above.
