The compensation of the Supervisory Board is set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and is determined by the Annual General Meeting. Supervisory Board members receive a fixed compensation of €40,000 per fiscal year for their services at the end of each fiscal year. The compensation increases by €225 for every €0.01 by which the dividend exceeds €0.10 per common share. The Chairperson of the Supervisory Board receives three times and the Deputy Chairperson receives twice the aforementioned amount. If a committee has been active at least once in a fiscal year, committee members receive one-and-a-half times the total compensation and the committee chairperson receives twice the total compensation. If a member of the Supervisory Board holds several offices on the Supervisory Board of RWE AG concurrently, he or she receives compensation only for the highest-paid position. Out-of-pocket expenses are refunded.
