New company pension scheme Today’s attractive company pension scheme has been in place for Lufthansa employees since 1994. The aviation group attaches great importance to rewarding the performance of its employees in this additional way. In order to respond to the developments of the capital markets as well as the consequences of demographic change, the Company terminated the bargaining agreement with employees regarding the company pension plan in September 2013. The goal is to agree with the collective bargaining partners on modern, market-oriented retirement bene- fits that sustainably secure the Company’s competitiveness (see from page 92, Balance 2014). All pension entitlements previously earned under the company pension scheme are secured and remain unchanged in any case. The Company’s management has pro- posed a new company pension scheme by which Lufthansa would pay amounts into an individual capital account for each employee and invest these funds on the capital market. Under this new system, the amount of the pension payments would be based on actual investment performance rather than on guaranteed pension levels. In addition, each employee would have the option of increasing the level of his or her company pension by paying in addi- tional amounts themselves. Upon reaching retirement age, employees would also be able choose individually either to have their retirement benefits paid out in a lump sum or to receive a lifelong monthly pen- sion payment – a flexible solution that among other things would make it easier to bequeath pension claims.
