In 2018, it is expected that the members of the Management Board of the UNIQA Insurance Group AG will be paid variable remuneration (STI) in the amount of €1.7 million for the 2017 financial year. As part of the long-term incentive (LTI) 2013–2016, a total of €382,673 was paid out in 2017. Payments in the amount of €693,786 are expected to be made in 2018 to cover the 2014 allocation of a long-term incentive (LTI) with a term to 2017.

In addition to the abovementioned employee benefits, the following pension fund contributions were made for the existing pension commitments to the members of the Management Board during the financial year. The compensation payments arise if a member of the Management Board steps down before the age of 65 because pension entitlements are generally funded in full until the age of 65 to avoid over-financing.
