The Supervisory Board of Siemens AG had already decided in September 2009 to take legal action against former members of the company’s boards with whom no out-of-court settlement could be reached. Nine former members of Siemens’ Managing Board and Supervisory Board have agreed on settlements with the company. A final decision regarding the ratification of these agreements will be made at the company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 26, 2010.
