1 Compensation for out-of-pocket expenses is not included.

2 Gifts for length of service are included.

The compensation model described in the section on corporate governance, both the fixed basic salary and the cash compensation (STI), and the entitlement to performance and restricted shares are disclosed. The number of bearer shares (entitlement from the performance share plan) as well as the related monetary benefit are fixed definitively only at the end of the respective planning period (or at the time of transferring the bearer shares). As part of the 2015–2017 plan, Group Executive Management received 9,479 performance units (prior year: 12,181) from the PSP and 4,740 restricted units (prior year: 5,457) from the Restricted Share Plan (RSP). The computation of the number of shares transferred upon expiry of the plan period is dependent upon the achievement of the targets (return on equity and cost income ratio). The monetary benefit from the respective PSP and RSP programmes will by definition be determined by the equity share price at the time of transfer of title to the shares. In the 2015 financial year, 8,409 performance shares (prior year: 1,092) with a market value of CHF 678,606.30 on the date of allocation (prior year: CHF 100,955.40) were transferred from the Management Plan 2012–2014 and the RSP 2014–2017.
