“The speculations published in Der
Spiegel magazine are false. It was Mr. Kaeser himself who proposed to the
Supervisory Board that a Deputy CEO be appointed in order to accelerate orderly
succession planning. In response to this proposal, the Supervisory Board
approved the following resolution:
‘The Supervisory Board will decide on the
successor to Joe Kaeser and on the timing of the succession in the summer of
2020.’
No questions about appointments to the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG
were discussed.”
