The Group expects to contribute CHF 4.4 million to its defined benefit plans in 2015.
Within the Group, various defined benefit plans exist, which differ in their purpose and financing according to local needs:
Country | Benefits | Funded/Unfunded | Description and risks |
Switzerland | Retirement, | Funded | Nature of the benefits provided The pension plans of Tecan Group Ltd., Tecan Schweiz AG, Tecan Sales Switzerland AG and Tecan Trading AG are plans with guarantee of a minimum interest credit on the savings and fixed conversion rates at retirement. Disability and death benefits are defined as percentage of the insured salary.
Regulatory framework The plan provides benefits based on the LPP/BVG law, which stipulates the minimum requirement of the mandatory employer’s sponsored pension plan in Switzerland. In particular, annual salary up to CHF 84’240 (amount in 2014) must be insured, the financing is age-related with contribution rates in per cent of pensionable salary increasing with age from 7% to 18%. The conversion rate to calculate the annuity based on the accrued savings capital is 6.8% at normal retirement age (65 for men and 64 for women).
The plan must be fully funded under LPP/BVG law on a static basis at all times, In case of underfunding, recovery measures must be taken, such as additional financing from the employer or from the employer and employees, or reduction of benefits or a combination of both.
Specific plan rules The saving credits for the retirement benefits are defined in percentage of the insured salary. The saving credits for the part of the annual salary between CHF 24’570 and CHF 84’240 are age dependent and amount to 8% to 19%. The saving credits for the part of the annual salary above CHF 84’240 amount to 14% for the employees and to 18% or 19% for the members of the management. The conversion rate for the mandatory part of savings capital amounts to 6.8% at normal retirement age. For the exceeding part of the savings capital, the conversion rate is defined by the board of trustees.
The annual disability pension amounts to 70% of the insured salary, the annual partner’s pension to 50% of the insured salary or to 60% of the current retirement pension. In case of death before retirement an additional lump-sum of 200% of the insured salary is paid.
Governance of the plan The companies are affiliated to the collective foundation Swiss Life Collective BVG Foundation. The collective foundation is a separate legal entity. The foundation is responsible for the governance of the plan; the foundation’s board of trustees is composed of an equal number of representatives from the employers and employees chosen from all affiliated companies. The foundation has set up investment guidelines, defining in particular the strategic allocation with margins.
Additionally, there are pension committees for each affiliated company composed of an equal number of representatives from the company and the employees. The pension committee is responsible for the set-up of the plan benefits.
Risks to which the plan exposes the Group The plan provider Swiss Life Collective BVG Foundation has reinsured the risks disability, death, longevity and the investment risk with Swiss Life Ltd. Therefore, the only risks for the Group are that the Swiss Life Collective BVG Foundation terminates the affiliation contract or increases the premiums.
Plan amendments, settlements or curtailments There were no plan amendments, settlements or curtailments during the financial years 2013 and 2014. |
Austria (International plans) | Long-service leave benefits | Unfunded | Nature of the benefits provided The severance-payments plan of Tecan Austria GmbH and Tecan Sales Austria GmbH guarantees a one-time lump sum payment, once the employee leaves the company. The plan was closed for new members at December 31, 2002. Plan participants are all employees with at least 3 years of service and an entry-date before January 1, 2003. The membership to this plan is mandatory.
Regulatory framework The plan provides benefits according to Austrian law (AngG 23 and 23a) which stipulates benefits in case of retirement, death (50%), disability or termination of employment. Vesting is after 3 years of service, whereas all rights forfeit in the case of voluntary termination.
The level of the benefits depends on the period of service in the company and amounts to a lump-sum payment of 2 monthly salaries after 3 years of service up to 12 monthly salaries after 25 years of service. The monthly salary is defined as twelfth part of the total annual salary of the last 12 months.
Governance of the plan Only the company (employer) is responsible for the governance of the plan.
Risks to which the plan exposes the Group The plan is exposed to an inflation risk as well as to the risk of salary increases. There is no longevity risk because the payments are due at retirement the latest.
Plan amendments, settlements or curtailments There were no plan amendments, settlements or curtailments during the financial years 2013 and 2014. |
Other (International plans) | Retirement benefits | Unfunded | There are two minor retirement benefit plans in Tecan Japan Co., Ltd. and Tecan Italia S.r.l. for only a limited number of participants. |

10.3.3 Actuarial assumptions and sensitivity analysis
Principal actuarial assumptions at the balance sheet date (expressed as weighted averages):
| 2013 | 2014 | ||
| Swiss | International plans | Swiss | International plans |
Discount rates | 2.30% | 2.96% | 1.10% | 1.85% |
Rate of future salary increases | 1.75% | 2.99% | 1.75% | 2.84% |
Rate of future pension increases | 0.25% | 0.00% | 0.25% | 0.00% |
Rates for the projection of savings capital | 2.00% | n/a | 1.75% | n/a |
Post-retirement mortality table | BVG2010GT | various | BVG2010GT | various |
Sensitivities of significant actuarial assumptions
The discount rate, the rate of future salary increase and the life expectancy were identified as significant actuarial assumptions. The following impacts on the defined benefit obligation are to be expected:
|
| 2013 | 2014 | ||||
CHF 1,000 | Change in actuarial assumptions | Swiss plans | International plans | Total | Swiss plans | International plans | Total |
Discount rates | – 25 basis points | 3,873 | 119 | 3,992 | 5,108 | 132 | 5,240 |
| + 25 basis points | (3,433) | (115) | (3,548) | (4,667) | (124) | (4,791) |
Rate of future salary increases | – 25 basis points | (832) | (111) | (943) | (883) | (118) | (1,001) |
| + 25 basis points | 857 | 114 | 971 | 866 | 127 | 993 |
Life expectancy | – 1 year | (1,427) | (13) | (1,440) | (2,130) | (14) | (2,144) |
| + 1 year | 1,359 | 13 | 1,372 | 2,107 | 15 | 2,122 |
(positive = increase in obligation/negative = decrease in obligation)
The sensitivity analysis is based on realistically possible changes at the end of the reporting period. Each change in significant assumption was analyzed separately as part of the test. Interdependencies were not taken into account.
10.4 Employee participation plans – share-based payment (IFRS 2)
10.4.1 Employee share option plans
The terms and conditions of the outstanding grants are as follows, whereby all options are settled by physical delivery of shares:
Arrangement | Employees entitled / grant date | Number of | Vesting conditions | Contractual life | Expiry date |
Plan 2009 B (base plan) Equity-settled | Options granted to members of Board of Directors, Management Board and management level 3 and 4 on December 8, 2008 | 81,180 options CHF 39.70 | Vesting period completed | 7 years | December 8, 2015 |

All share options grant the right to purchase one Tecan share per option. In 2002 and 2003 the employees from the USA received stock appreciation rights (SARs) with the same treatment and same conditions as share options. The arrangements were classified as cash-settled plans and ended in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options and SARs are as follows:

The expenses, recognized in profit or loss, are calculated as follows:
Equity-settled share-based payment
The fair value of services received in return for the share options granted is measured by reference to the share options vested multiplied by their fair value at grant date (measurement date). The estimate of the fair value is based on a binominal model. Changes in the fair value of the option after the grant date do not change the fair value of the services received.
Fair value of share options and key assumptions (not yet vested share option plans):
Grant | Share price | Exercise price | Expected | Option life | Expected | Risk-free | Fair value |

Cash-settled share-based payment
The fair value of services received in return for the SARs granted is measured by reference to the SARs vested multiplied by their fair value at grant date (measurement date). The estimate of the fair value is based on a binominal model. Changes in the fair value of the SARs after the grant date have an impact on the provision for cash-settled share-based payment and are posted to the financial result.

The expenses, recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, are calculated as follows:
The fair value of services received in return for the shares granted is measured by reference to the shares vested multiplied by their fair value at grant date (measurement date). The fair value at grant represents the market value of one Tecan share adjusted for expected dividend payments during the vesting period. Changes in the fair value of the shares after the grant date do not change the fair value of the services received.

1 Only shares that qualify for matching shares
2 Not adjusted for expected fluctuation
The number of matching shares is determined based on the following formula: number of shares from initial grant plus number of shares from mandatory and voluntary investments (if applicable) times the matching share factor. The matching share factor is dependent on the achievement of specific economic profit targets. In any case, the matching share factor will not be lower than 0.0 and not higher than 1.25 (Board of Directors) and 2.5 (extended Management Board) respectively.
