Stock-based compensation programs
Siemens has set itself the goal of more intensively fostering a
profit-sharing culture at the Company and encouraging em-

programs, namely, the Stock Awards program, the Share
Matching Program (including the Base Share Program, the
Share Matching Plan and the Monthly Investment Plan) and
the Jubilee Program. Non-vested and outstanding grants un-
der the various plans will result in additional share issuances
to employees in the future. For more detailed information
