This section has been audited by the external auditor as part of the Financial Notes to the Consolidated Statements of the Geberit Group.

In 2020, employees, management and the members of the Board of Directors participated in three different share plans. The plans (for the Board of Directors and the management) are described in this Remuneration Report and for the employees in Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements (participation plans). Under the three different share plans, a total of the following numbers of shares were allocated.

The fair value of the options granted in 2020 amounted to CHF 16.58 (MSPP) and CHF 16.58 (MSOP) on average at the respective grant date. The fair value was calculated using the binomial model for “American Style Call Options”.

The calculation model was based on the following parameters:

1 The exercise price corresponds to the average price of Geberit shares for the period from 3–16 March 2020.     

Costs resulting from share participation plans amounted to CHF 4.8 million in 2020 (previous year CHF 2.9 million); those for option plans totalled CHF 5.8 million (previous year CHF 4.7 million).

 
 
* The number of options expected to be allocated with final effect at the end of the vesting period depends on target achievement (average ROIC) and has been calculated on the basis of expected target achievement.
