2)The Board of Directors receives 50% of the proposed remuneration (total remuneration for the term AGM 2025 to AGM 2026: 931,000 Swiss francs) in shares blocked for at least six years (blocking period until 30 April 2032). 50% of the Board’s remuneration is paid in shares at the applicable tax value, with the number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The relevant valuation for the equity rights recognised in the 2025 financial year is determined based on the volume-weighted average price for the period from 1 March 2026 to 13 April 2026. The exact number of allocated shares will be disclosed in the financial report 2026.

3)The shares allocated to the Board of Directors last year as part of the remuneration after the AGM 2025 were determined based on the volume-weighted average price for the period from 1 March 2025 to 14 April 2025, with the number of shares at the applicable tax value rounded up to the nearest whole number. The exact number was not yet known at the time of publication of the financial report 2024. Consequently, there are minor differences compared with the figures reported last year.

4)At periodic intervals, employees are offered the opportunity on a voluntary basis to acquire blocked registered shares of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG at preferential conditions. In 2025, 169,648 registered shares of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG with a price of 63.70 Swiss francs (average price for the month of december 2024) were purchased by employees at 45.00 Swiss francs. The discount of approximately 3.2 million Swiss francs is included in personnel expenses (partially accrued in previous years).

Members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board and the second management level receive a defined portion of their compensation in the form of registered shares of Luzerner Kantonalbank AG that are blocked for several years. Details can be found in the Compensation Report.
