⁵ As of July 2014, a.s.r. converted the variable remuneration system existing up to that time into fixed remuneration. The outstanding tranches for senior management are a consequence of the discontinued scheme. The scheme applied to senior management for the period January 2011 to July 2014. The 4th tranches of the deferred variable remuneration include a 5-year revaluation, based on the value development of a.s.r. Since the IPO, this has been dependent on the value development of the a.s.r. share. The multi-year variable 2020 relate to this final distribution.
⁶ After the successful IPO in 2016, the SB and EB decided in 2017 to make a one-off extra payment to all employees in the form of a monthly salary. By order of the supervisor (DNB), the distribution had to be paid in instalments to the identified staff (the members of the EB and other identified employees). The extraordinary items 2020, relates to a one-off 40-year anniversary payment for J.P.M. Baeten (2020: € 136 thousand) in accordance with current regular employee conditions and the final distribution of the one-off payment in the form of a monthly salary for 40% originating in 2017 (2020: € 15 thousand).
⁷ The post-employment defined benefit plan of a.s.r. ended 31 December 2020. A new DC plan started from 1 January 2021. The defined benefit obligation will continue to exist, but no further regular annual premium contributions will be paid to the plan. All members of the EB participate in the DC plan. The annual pension expenditure is based on a premium table. Further changes in the cost of pension benefits are mainly due to the impact of age. The pension costs include DC pensions based on maximum pensionable salary cap, compensation for the maximum pensionable salary cap (to be used for pensions at the employees’ discretion in total), and VPL.
