3.2     Remuneration paid to the members of Group Management

The total remuneration paid to the members of Group Management increased by 31% year-on-year to CHF 4.38 million (2013: CHF 3.35 million). This change reflects an increase in the number of members of Group Management to six in the previous year (2013: 5.4 members) as well as the higher performance bonuses paid in light of the above-budget operating net profit reported for the 2014 financial year.

At CHF 1.29 million, the highest total remuneration was paid to Chief Executive Officer Bruno Bettoni, as was the case in the previous year (2013: CHF 1.16 million). The remuneration received by him and that received by the other members of Group Management is broken down as follows:
