Tui - February 19th, 2019

General: Supervisory Board member Prof. Dr. Edgar Ernst is a member of the Advisory Committee of DSW, the local partner of ECGS. This report has been prepared using standard ECGS guidelines.

Items 4.3 and 4.14: We recommend to oppose the discharge of Supervisory Board members Peter Long and Alexey Mordashov due to their insufficient attendance at Supervisory Board and committee meetings in financial year 2017/2018.

Item 8: Approval is sought for the unchanged remuneration system which has been applicable since financial year 2017/2018. Disclosure is in line with market practice. The level of actual remuneration in financial year 2017/2018 is not considered to be excessive. However, we have concerns over the structure of the potential maximum remuneration that may be paid to Management Board members: The maximum total remuneration is capped at EUR 7.5m for the CEO (~682% of base salary) and at EUR 3.5m for the other Management Board members (~515-583% of base salary) which significantly exceeds ECGS guidelines according to which the maximum total remuneration should not exceed 400% of base salary. We therefore recommend to oppose the remuneration system for Management Board members.
