Hannover Re Share

It is part of our company philosophy to present our share as a solid and attractive investment and to continuously increase its value for our shareholders on a sustainable basis. Hence it is our target to keep the costs for raising equity as low as possible.

The continuous increase of earnings per share, supported by our investor-relations activities, is intended to ensure a share-price development outperforming the AA Global Reinsurance Index over a 3-year period (more details are provided in the section Benchmark).

The fulfillment of this demand is one of two definitive success criteria within our stock option plan and thus the performance-related remuneration of our executive board and senior management worldwide.
