RHÖN-KLINIKUM Aktiengesellschaft: 33rd Ordinary Annual General Meeting of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG - Seite 2

The Board of Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG has repeatedly articulated its requests in many discussions with national and federal state politicians. Such requests include lessening the bureaucracy in required documentation and also reducing the overall amount of documentation, the adequate financing of investments, binding planning certainty and full compensation of lost earnings for 2021, including all types of revenues and expenses, as well as overhauling the German hospital landscape pursuant to structured and transparent criteria.

"We have been heard, now it is up to the politicians to set the necessary reforms in motion. But unfortunately political mills grind very slowly and it is also necessary to correct the failures of past decades," Dr. Christian Höftberger, CEO of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, stated.

New Remuneration System for Board of Management

Furthermore the AGM approved a new remuneration system for the Board of Management which was developed by the Supervisory Board and adopted in March 2021. The remuneration system for the Board of Management will apply from 1st April 2021. RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG is thus putting into practice the amended regulatory requirements on Board of Management remuneration in line with the Act Implementing the Second Shareholders' Rights Directive (Gesetz zur Umsetzung der zweiten Aktionärsrechterichtlinie - ARUG II). The remuneration system is an incentive for effective and sustainable corporate management. It specifies a maximum level of remuneration and contains detailed provisions for both fixed and variable remuneration elements.
