Performers: Launch of the initial and subsequent distributions 2020-2022

Today, GVL is launching its payout of performer remuneration as part of the initial distribution 2022 and the subsequent distributions 2020 and 2021.

In the course of this distribution run, GVL pays out a total of EUR 70m to performers and their legal successors, of which EUR 45m relate to the initial distribution 2022, and EUR 25m are associated with the subsequent distributions 2020 and 2021.

Sandy Backhaus, Head of the Rights Holders’ Division for Performers, explains: “We are happy to report that we managed to increase the payout amount compared to the previous year’s distribution; overall, we could distribute close to EUR 13m more than in autumn 2022.”

The reason for this increase in the distribution amount is, among others, a better know-how of the number of those who actually report their claims: “Based on the experience of the previous years, we can now project rather well how much money we must put aside for the closing distribution. This way, our rights holders get the payouts for a distribution year quicker and not just at the end during the closing distribution,” Sandy Backhaus adds.

Payout notifications on meine.gvl:

Rights holders can access their payout notifications will be stored, as usual, in their personal meine.gvl accounts: Log in at my.gvl with your access data. In the menu under “Service”, click on “My Documents”. The payout information tab holds the relevant information.  Your detailed reports will be stored there over the next two weeks and made available step by step in different file formats such as PDF and Excel. Legal successors usually get their payout notification by post.

Please note:

With regard to the revenues of the first and subsequent distributions, the amounts in question are always sub-totals. The final remuneration for the relevant distribution year will always be calculated as part of the final distribution once the registration phase spanning several years has lapsed. Against this background, it is possible that there will be offsets in the subsequent distributions.

Information on our distributions and an FAQ section  are located on our website.
