The remuneration system for the Executive Board is determined by the Supervisory Board. The Personnel, Nomination and Remuneration Committee develops recommendations for the Executive Board remuneration system, which the Supervisory Board also discusses and decides on in detail.
The Personnel, Nomination and Remuneration Committee regularly reviews the Executive Board's remuneration system and presents relevant proposals to the Supervisory Board. The remuneration system is resubmitted to the Annual General Meeting for approval after significant changes, and in any case every four years.
The remuneration system for the Executive Board of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT is geared to promoting implementation of the company's business strategy and the sustainable and long-term development of the company. This is achieved in compliance with the statutory requirements and in consideration of competitive aspects. The remuneration system was

prepared by the Supervisory Board by resolution of 24 November 2023 on the legal basis of the Implementation of the Shareholders' Rights Directive (ARUG II) and approved by the 122nd Annual General Meeting on 30 April 2024.
The system's fundamental structure abides by the following guiding principles:
This forms the basis on which Executive Board members are offered a competitive and market value remuneration package that keeps within the regulatory requirements and promotes the sustainable work of the Executive Board. This is intended to secure the best possible candidates for the Executive Board of DMG MORI AG, both now and in the future.
The remuneration system adopted by the Supervisory Board conforms with the current requirements under the German Stock Corporation Act and in all essential aspects with the recommendations made in the German Corporate Governance Code (DCGK), with the exception that the long-term remuneration component is not share-based. In view of both the current domination and profit transfer agreement between DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and DMG MORI Europe Holding GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED and the low free float of the company's share, it was decided not to implement a remuneration component paid in shares or a share-based remuneration component.
Following preparation by the Personnel, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board determines the amount of total target remuneration for the upcoming financial year for each Executive Board member based on the remuneration system. The total target remuneration for each Executive Board member is the sum of the base remuneration, the STI for 100 % target achievement, the LTI for 100 % target achievement and the pension contribution.
In addition to being reasonably proportionate to the duties and performances of the Executive Board members, this in particular gives consideration to the economic position, the market environment, the success and the future prospects of the company. The Supervisory Board pays particular attention to assuring that the total target remuneration conforms with market standards. Market conformity is assessed on the basis of the following points:
External benchmarking (horizontal conformity): The market conformity of the total remuneration is assessed on the basis of remuneration data from the 90 largest listed companies in Germany with DAX and MDAX listings. This horizontal market benchmarking considers the market position, size and complexity of DMG MORI AG with special emphasis on the position of the company within the comparison group (e. g., on the basis of performance indicators such as sales revenues, number of employees and earnings per share).
Internal benchmarking (vertical conformity): In addition to the above, the development of the Executive Board's remuneration in proportion to the remuneration of the employees of DMG MORI AG is considered in an internal (vertical) benchmarking process. This comparison determines the proportion of the Executive Board's remuneration to the remuneration paid to the upper management and other employees and subjected to a market comparison.
The determination of the total target remuneration gives special credit to the individual Executive Board member's function. The chairperson of the Executive Board, in particular, is awarded a higher total remuneration than the other Executive Board members.
The Supervisory Board may withhold or demand repayment of the short-term and the long-term variable remuneration in the case of serious breaches of duty or compliance infringements. The same applies in cases of serious unethical conduct.
In cases of grossly negligent or intentional breaches of a duty of care by a diligent business manager pursuant to Section 93 (1) AktG the company is further authorized to demand the Executive Board member repay all or part of the variable remuneration components (STI and/ or LTI) paid for the relevant assessment period in which the breach of duty took place, or to withhold such payment before its remittance.
A claim for repayment also arises if the Executive Board member's office tenure or employment has already ended at the time repayment is demanded. This is without prejudice to claims for damages against the Executive Board member.
If an Executive Board member resigns upon request by the Supervisory Board due to reasons not attributable to the Executive Board member's person or conduct, all outstanding LTI tranches will be paid to the member at the end of the initially agreed performance period. The same applies if an Executive Board member resigns from the Executive Board for other reasons outside of his responsibility (e. g. regular expiry or mutually agreed termination of the employment contract, or other contractually recognized reasons for resignation). This also includes the transition into early retirement and the Executive Board member's rejection of an offer of reappointment.
If the company terminates an Executive Board member's employment for good cause, or if the Executive Board member terminates his employment contract without proper cause ("bad leaver"), all outstanding LTI allocations where the three-year reference period has not yet ended will be forfeited.

The remuneration of the Executive Board members of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT consists of fixed and variable remuneration components. The fixed, non-performance-based remuneration consists of a base remuneration ("fixed amount"), fringe benefits and pension entitlements (in particular to the contribution-based retirement provisions). The short-term variable remuneration (STI) and the long-term variable remuneration (LTI) are performance-based variable amounts that depend on the achievement of specific measurable targets.
The fixed remuneration forms the basis for recruiting and retaining the highly qualified Executive Board members needed for the group's further development and implementation of its corporate strategy.
The fixed remuneration consists of the base remuneration, fringe benefits and pension entitlements (contribution-based retirement provisions).
Base remuneration: Each Executive Board member receives a fixed base remuneration. This is paid in twelve monthly installments.
Fringe benefits: Fringe benefits and their maximum amounts are determined for each Executive Board member. These fringe benefits mainly include non-cash benefits from the company and other fringe benefits, particularly the provision of a company car but also insurance coverage.
Retirement provisions: Each Executive Board member is granted a payment that must be used to add to his personal retirement provisions. The payment is for a certain amount to be invested in an external pension scheme (contribution-based retirement provision).

The STI is intended to motivate Executive Board members to achieve challenging and demanding financial, operational and strategic targets in the financial year. These targets reflect the corporate strategy of DMG MORI AG and aim at increasing the earnings and market position of the company. The one-year variable remuneration is linked to the achievement of key group figures in the respective financial year, particularly as it is connected to order intake and EBIT. An individual target amount is set for each member of the Executive Board. The target amount represents the initial value for determining performance-related payment after the end of the assessment period. A payment claim only arises at the end of the one-year assessment period and depends on if and how the targets have been achieved.
The STI system is based on two target dimensions, which are assigned different weightings and can be adjusted through so called sustainability factors ("modifiers"). This considers both the market position (measured by the performance indicator "order intake"), as well as the earnings position (measured by the performance indicator "EBIT"). These company-specific targets are modified by a sustainability factor ("modifier"), which moves within a bandwidth from 80% to 120 %. The sustainability factor is intended to reward the Executive Board's actions and successes that have made a contribution to sustainably securing the company's success.

The target achievement levels for the STI 2024 result from the following key figures and factors for 2024 and are determined using the same criteria for all Executive Board members:
Order intake is weighted at 1 / 3. This means that the STI includes one of the key financial figures of DMG MORI AG. The order intake component of the STI must reach a floor before it becomes relevant to bonus payments. This floor is a target achievement of 50 %. Reaching the target amount corresponds to a target achievement of 100 %. The component does not increase any further once a cap has been reached. This cap is a target achievement of 200%.
The following figure shows further target achievement details:

G.25 STI: TARGET ACHIEVEMENT ORDER INTAKE 1/3
EBIT is weighted at 2 / 3. This means that the STI includes another key financial figure of DMG MORI AG. The EBIT component of the STI must reach a floor before becoming relevant to bonus payments. This is a target achievement of 50 %. Reaching the target amount corresponds to a target achievement of 100%. The consideration of a bonus ends once a cap has been reached. This is a target achievement of 200 %.
The following figure shows further target achievement details:

G.26 STI: TARGET ACHIEVEMENT EBIT 2/3
The remuneration resulting from the achievement of targets is adjusted by three sustainability factors ("modifiers") defined as part of the bonus payment (80 %-120 %). These goals, on which the sustainability factor is based, include investments in property, plant and equipment, investments for the GLOBE project (SAP implementation) and the development of internal market shares and positions (order intake ratio for the DMG MORI AG group and DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED). All sustainability factors can reach a level of 80 %-120 %. The factors, investments in property, plant and equipment and investments for the GLOBE project are each weighted at 25%. The factor, development of internal market shares and positions is weighted at 50%. They are intended to boost the Executive Board's efforts aimed at a sustainable management that delivers future growth.
The following graphics show further details on target achievement:

G.27 STI: TARGET ACHIEVEMENT INVESTMENTS IN TANGIBLE ASSETS (1/4)




The Executive Board's work is focused on a long-term, sustainable commitment to DMG MORI AG. It is the only way to promote sustainable growth and achieve a permanent increase in value. The three-year performance period helps to ensure that the Executive Board's decisions in the current financial year are also focused on the company's long-term development.
Benefits from the LTI program are paid in cash on the basis of a indicator-based remuneration determined over an assessment period of three years ("performance period"). These benefits are paid in annual tranches.
The LTI is based on two financial targets as well as measurable sustainability targets that are expressed in the form of a "modifier". The financial performance criteria represent the key management ratios of DMG MORI AG (Earnings After Tax – EAT – and service performance). In addition to that, the "modifier" with a bandwidth of 80 % to 120 % also incorporates the sustainability targets.
An individual target amount is set for each member of the Executive Board. The target amount represents the initial value for determining performance-related payment after the end of the assessment period. A claim for payment only arises at the end of the three-year assessment period and depends on whether and to what degree the targets were achieved.

ESRS 2 GOV-3
The content of the Group Business Report, which should also cover the requirements of the specified ESRS disclosure requirements.
The levels of target achievement result from the following key figures and factors and are determined using the same criteria for all Executive Board members:
EAT is weighted at 2 / 3. This means that the LTI includes one of the key financial figures of DMG MORI AG. The EAT component of the LTI must reach a floor before becoming relevant to bonus payments. This floor is a target achievement of 50 %. Reaching the target amount corresponds to a target achievement of 100 %. The component does not increase any further once a cap has been reached. This cap is a target achievement of 200 %.
The following figure shows further target achievement details:

Service performance over a period of three years is weighted at 1 / 3. This means the LTI includes a key performance indicator of DMG MORI AG. The service performance is the average number of service calls per machine under warranty over the last 12 months. The service performance component of the LTI must fall below a threshold value before becoming relevant to bonus payments. This threshold value is a target achievement of 80 %. Reaching the target figure corresponds to a target achievement of 100 %. It does not increase further after reaching the minimum value. This minimum value is a target achievement of 200 %.
The following figure shows further target achievement details:

G.32 LTI: TARGET ACHIEVEMENT SERVICE PERFORMANCE (1/3)
The remuneration resulting from the targets achieved is adjusted (80 %-120 %) by two sustainability factors ("modifiers"), which are defined as part of the bonus payment. These sustainability targets include the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (carbon dioxide emissions as defined by Science Based Targets) and the development of the PPR indicator (calculated for each year included: number of "Product Problem Reports" in the last twelve months with status completed and final adjusted divided by the number of "Product Problem Reports" issued in the last twelve months). A "product problem report" describes a customer complaint. Both sustainability factors can reach a level of 80 % – 120 % and are weighted at 50 % each. To secure the long-term and sustainable development, the targets are selected in consideration of the strategy.
The following graphics show further details on target achievement:

G.33 LTI: TARGET ACHIEVEMENT CO2 EMISSIONS SCIENCE BASED TARGETS (1/2)

The payment from the STI and LTI is limited in each case to a total of 200 % of the target amount.
The maximum total remuneration of an Executive Board member is determined annually by the Supervisory Board on the basis of their target total remuneration and is the maximum amount of total remuneration for the respective bonus payment year, taking into account their fixed remuneration, short-term variable remuneration (STI), long-term variable remuneration (LTI) and retirement provisions.
The maximum total remuneration for financial year 2022 was set at € 5,550 K for the CEO and € 2,950 K each for Executive Board members (table T.35).

The retirement provisions are a further foundation for recruiting and retaining the highly qualified Executive Board members required for the group's further development and implementation of the corporate strategy. The retirement provisions should be competitive on the market for highly qualified Executive Board members and provide an appropriate level of benefits. Retirement benefits were paid for the financial year in the form of a defined contribution-based retirement provisions for the following active and former members of the Executive Board:
― Alfred Geißler: € 300 K p.a.
The expenses for the contribution-based retirement provisions for all members of the Executive Board amounted to € 300 K in financial year 2024 (previous year: € 1,025 K).
In the reporting year, as part of direct pension obligations € 1,199 K (previous year: € 1,187 K) was paid to former members of the Executive Board and their surviving dependents, of which € 775 K went to Dr. Rüdiger Kapitza who left the Executive Board in 2016.
The target achievement for the short-term variable remuneration (STI) was 195 % for the performance indicator EBIT, and 74 % for order intake. The target achievement for the sustainability factor relating to the budget for investments in property, plant and equipment was 110%, for the GLOBE project 100 % and for the relative market shares AG / CO 108 %, resulting in a weighted modifier of 106 % in total. The target achievement for short-term variable remuneration (STI) for 2024 was 165 %. The STI payment was limited to a total of 200 % of the target amount (cap).
Hirotake Kobayashi was appointed as a member of the Executive Board for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2026. Due to his existing employment relationship with DMG MORI COMPANY LIMITED, DMG MORI AG has not concluded an Executive Board employment contract with him. Hirotake Kobayashi does not receive any direct or indirect remuneration from DMG MORI AG and is therefore not covered by the remuneration system of DMG MORI AG. Accordingly, he is not listed in the remuneration tables of the remuneration report.
With effect from 31 March 2024, Michael Horn left the company. Contrary to the compensation system, Michael Horn received a severance payment of € 3,300 K. All contractual payments for the future, including future STI and LTI tranches, are covered by the agreed severance payment. Advance payments already made (LTI tranche 2022-2024: € 429 K) cannot be reclaimed.
The total remuneration of the Executive Board for financial year 2024, excluding advance payments, amounted to € 5,662 K (previous year: € 33,560 K). This includes € 4,373 K (previous year: € 29,781 K) in fixed, non-performance-related remuneration (base remuneration and fringe benefits as well as severance payments) and € 989 K (previous year: € 2,323 K) in short-term variable remuneration (STI) as well as € 300 K in contribution-based retirement provisions (previous year: € 1,025 K).
There will be no payment from the LTI tranche 2022-2024, which was allocated on 31 December 2024 and would generally have been paid out in 2025. Severance agreements were concluded with all originally entitled members of the Management Board and lump-sum severance payments were made, which also included compensation for the LTI tranche 2022-2024.
No reclaimable advance payments were made in 2024 for the LTI tranche 2023-2025.
No loans were granted to members of the Executive Board of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELSCHAFT in the reporting year.
The companies belonging to the DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT group did not pay any remuneration directly to members of the Executive Board for services provided personally, in particular consulting and mediation services.
No Executive Board members were requested to repay any remuneration components. Malus and clawback provisions were not invoked.
Table T.37 shows the granted and payable remuneration components for active and former Executive Board members in the respective financial year, including the corresponding relative share pursuant to Section 162 (1) sentence 1 AktG. The figures represent the base remuneration, fringe benefits and retirement provisions paid in the financial year. The table shows the STI 2024 and the LTI tranche 2022-2024 that will be paid in financial year 2025, but whose underlying activities were fully performed by the end of financial year 2024.
