Investor relations
As the liaison between the capital market and our Company,
we cultivate relationships with our stakeholders, keeping them
informed of major developments throughout Siemens and ge-
nerating confidence in our Company and the Siemens share.
At Siemens, we attach tremendous importance to open dia-
logue and transparent communication with our investors. Our
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting is the year’s most important
platform
for investor communications. In addition, we provide
the investment community with ongoing information on our
Company’s development in quarterly, semiannual and annual
reports. We maintain close contact with investors and financial
analysts through roadshows, conferences and several hun-
dred individual presentations a year. Members of our top
management are personally on hand at many of these events
to answer questions from representatives of the capital mar-
kets.

million no-par value shares in registered form. Of these
shares, about  million were outstanding at the end of

were also traded on the stock exchange in Milan. On the

payout ratio for fiscal  is  percent.2 We intend to con-
tinue pursuing an attractive dividend policy for our inves-
tors in the future.
