PENSION SCHEMES
The bank's pension scheme is administered hy De Stichting Pensioenfonds FGH Bank. Pension costs are determined statistically
and are charged to income on an annual basis. 29
Contributions are charged annually to the income statement of FGH Bank N.V. The amount of the contributions takes account
of increases in pension rights based upon pay growth and inflation, and the return achieved by the pension fund in excess of the
actuarial rate, which is 4% in the Netherlands.
The scheme is a conditional index-linked average salary scheme. For employees who were members of the scheme as at
31 December 2001, a transitional scheme applies, based upon a conditional indexed final salary scheme.
An early retirement scheme has been introduced as from 1 January 2002.
If the cover percentage including investments reserves of the pension fund is lower than 105%, then the employer will need
to raise this percentage to 105% by a one-off contribution.
According the latest estimate from the pension fund the cover percentage at the end of 2002 will be higher than 105%.
