2015 Report on the Executive Board Compensation System (as of April 22, 2015)

Note: Due to an editorial mistake on page 2 of the previous version of the 2015 Report on the Executive Board Compensation System, under paragaph 4 (criteria of the 2015 Performance Bonus), second dash (relating to TaylorMade-adidas Golf), the term "Net Sales" instead of "Contribution" was used. The updated version as of April 22, 2015 uses the correct term.
