Supervisory Board
The members of Evotec’s Supervisory Board are entitled to fixed and performance-based payments. In accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, Chair and Deputy Chair positions on the Supervisory Board, as well as the chair positions and membership on committees are considered when determining the remuneration of individual members. Every Supervisory Board member receives T€ 15 per year, with the Chair receiving three times that amount and the Deputy Chair twice that amount. Members of Supervisory Board committees additionally receive T€ 3.75 per year, with the chairperson receiving T€ 10.
In addition to the fixed remuneration and in accordance with the suggestions of the Code, the members of the Supervisory Board receive payments tied to the Company’s long-term performance, in the form of Evotec shares. Ordinary members of the Supervisory Board receive shares valued at T€ 10 (Chair three times, Deputy Chair twice this amount) and Committee Chairs receive additional shares valued at T€ 10. This share-based remuneration serves as a further incentive for Supervisory Board members to focus on the Evotec share price. In addition, if Evotec shareholders are paid a dividend, every Supervisory Board member will receive an extra T€ 0.5 for every cent that the dividend per share exceeds € 0.15.
