NOTE 32 Corporate Governance
The Managing Board and the Supervisory Board of Siemens
Aktiengesellschaft provided the declaration required by Sec-
tion  of the German stock corporation law (AktG) as of Octo-
ber , , which is available on the Company’s website at:
WWW.SIEMENS.COM/GCG-CODE
NOTE 33 Subsequent events
In November , Siemens announced the extension of its
seven-year IT outsourcing contract with AtoS through Decem-
ber , with minimum committed volumes increasing by
€ . billion to € . billion. Furthermore Siemens announced
the extension of its current lock-up shareholder commitment in
AtoS through September .
Also in November , Siemens announced the sale of its  %
stake in Unify to AtoS. While ownership of the Unify stake has
adversely affected Siemens’ financial results in fiscal  and
prior fiscal years, the transaction is not expected to result in a
material effect. Closing of the transaction is subject to the ap-
provals of the regulatory and antitrust authorities. Closing is
expected in the second quarter of fiscal .
