Executive Board members Sabine Eckhardt, Dr. Gunnar Wiedenfels and Dr. Ralf Schremper also have PSUs from work performed before they joined the Executive Board. These were not granted as remuneration for their role on the Executive Board and are thus not included in the overview. Dr. Gunnar Wiedenfels left the Executive Board effective March 31, 2017 and Dr. Ralf Schremper effective July 31, 2017. Information on share-based payment instruments in their case can be found in the chapter regarding total compensation of former members of the Executive Board.

Nominal amounts of PSUs when granted. PSUs from the Group Share Plan were granted for the last time in financial year 2017; in financial year 2018, they were granted under the new Performance Share Plan.

The total cost in the financial year 2018 includes an adjustment of the conversion factor for the performance share units granted (86%) for the Group Share Plan 2015 and was measured as of December 31, 2018. No adjustments were made due to anti-dilution protection or an individual increase by the Supervisory Board. The total cost in the financial year 2017 includes an adjustment of the conversion factor for the performance share units granted (100%) for the Group Share Plan 2014 and was measured as of December 31, 2017. The total cost for Conrad Albert and Christof Wahl is negative due to declines in the share price in financial year 2018; the total cost for Dr. Ralf Schremper is negative due to declines in the share price in financial year 2017.
