The full time equivalent number of employees includes the employees of fully-consolidated companies on a time-apportioned basis taking into account their date of entry into and exit from the scope of consolidation. The above figures do not include employees of equity-accounted associates.

The increase in employee numbers and the employee benefits expense is largely due to changes in consolidation scope during the period.

Employee benefit liabilities 5.2 Defined contribution plans The Group pays contributions under a range of mandatory systems and on a voluntary basis under contractual agreements. The Group’s obligation is therefore limited to the payment of contributions. Defined benefit plans In recognition of their contribution to the business, certain Executive Board members are covered by a supplementary defined benefit pension plan designed to provide them with additional retirement income. The amount of this additional pension depends on the length of service of beneficiaries on retirement. This plan was closed on June 30, 2011 and only concerns members of the Executive Board present at that date.
