General: In line with German law, the auditor of an insurance company like Munich Re is not appointed by the AGM but the Supervisory Board.
Item 5: Approval is sought for the (unchanged) remuneration system which has been applicable since financial year 2013. Disclosure is in line with market practice. The level of actual remuneration in financial year 2016 is not considered to be excessive. However, we have concerns over the structure of the potential maximum remuneration that can be paid to Management Board members. The CEO total remuneration (excluding pension benefits and benefits in kind) may reach up to EUR 7.14m (~567% of base salary) which 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.
Item 9: The Company shall be authorised until 25 April 2022 to increase the share capital by up to EUR 280m (~47.64% of the share capital) by issuing shares against contributions in cash and/or in kind. The total shares issued while disapplying preemptive rights under the proposed and all existing authorisations may reach up to
20% of the share capital which exceeds our guidelines according to which we accept a maximum potential dilution of 10%. We recommend opposition.
