Grazia Vittadini (51), Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive
Committee at Airbus, and Kasper Rørsted (58), CEO of Adidas AG.
New elections
are necessary because the terms of office of Dr. Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller
(60) and Werner Wenning (74) will expire upon conclusion of the upcoming Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting. The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on
January 26, 2016, had reelected both of these members early to new
terms as shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board.
“We thank Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller
and Werner Wenning for their many years of outstanding work on the Siemens
Supervisory Board. Grazia Vittadini and Kasper Rørsted, two leadership
personalities with strong international reputations, have been nominated for
election as their successors. These two candidates emphasize the diversity of
Siemens’ Supervisory Board, and they have a great deal of experience in the sustainable
transformation and successful digitalization of industries and companies,” said
Jim Hagemann Snabe (55), Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG.
In addition,
Jim Hagemann Snabe, who chairs the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG and the
Board of Directors of A. P. Møller-Mærsk A/S, is being proposed for
reelection for another four years of membership on the Siemens Supervisory
Board because his term of office will also expire upon completion of the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting on February 3, 2021. Jim Hagemann Snabe is to
be proposed again as candidate for the chair of the Supervisory Board of
Siemens AG.
Further
details on the election proposals are available in the Notice of Annual Shareholders’
Meeting, which the company published today: www.siemens.com/agm.
