German term

Leistungszusage

German to English Bus/Financial Law: Contract(s) Austrian document
In a termination agreement for a person who has resigned an appointment in a Vorstand (by mutual consent)

"Die Rechte aus der direkten Leistugsdzusage wurden mit Vorsorgevereinbarung vom (date) auf die XXX Pensionskassen Aktiengesellschaft" uebertragen.

I thought at first that this might be a typo for Leistungzulage but bonus entitlements are dealt with separately.

Many thanks for your help.

Pension plans can be divided into two broad types: Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution plans. The defined benefit plan had been the most popular and common type of pension plan in the United States through the 1980s; since that time, defined contribution plans have become the more common type of retirement plan in the United States and many other western countries.
Defined benefit plans
Under 26 U.S.C. § 414(j), a defined benefit plan is any pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan (see below). A defined contribution plan is any plan with individual accounts. A traditional pension plan that defines a benefit for an employee upon that employee's retirement is a defined benefit plan.
