The actuarial loss on the pension liability amounts to €5,027k (2019: €8,722k gain) and is mainly due decline of the discount rate.

No direct asset allocation is held in relation to the new pension insurance contract. Therefore, the fair value of the plan assets can no longer be determined based on a certain asset allocation.
