Combined Management Report 
A.10.2 Remuneration of Supervisory
Board members
The current remuneration policies for the Supervisory Board
were authorized at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on
January , , and are effective as of fiscal . Details are
set out in Section  of the Articles of Association of Siemens AG.
The remuneration of the Supervisory Board consists entirely of
fixed compensation; it reflects the responsibilities and scope of
the work of the Supervisory Board members. The Chairman and
Deputy Chairmen of the Supervisory Board as well as the Chair-
men and members of the Audit Committee, the Chairman’s Com-
mittee, the Compensation Committee, the Compliance Commit-
tee and the Innovation and Finance Committee receive additional
compensation.
Under current rules, the members of the Supervisory Board
receive an annual base compensation of € ,; the Chair-
man of the Supervisory Board receives a base compensation of
€ ,, and each of the Deputy Chairmen receives € ,.
The members of the Supervisory Board committees receive the
following additional fixed compensation for their committee
work: the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives € ,,
and each of the other members of the Committee receives
€ ,; the Chairman of the Chairman’s Committee receives
€ ,, and each of the other members of the Committee
receives € ,; the Chairman of the Compensation Commit-
tee receives € ,, and each of the other members of the
Committee receives € , (compensation for any work on
the Chairman’s Committee counts toward compensation for
work on the Compensation Committee); the Chairman of the
Innovation and Finance Committee receives € ,, and
each of the other members of the Committee receives € ,;
the Chairman of the Compliance Committee receives € ,,
and each of the other members of the Committee receives
€ ,. However, no additional compensation is paid for
work on the Compliance Committee if a member of that Com-
mittee is already entitled to compensation for work on the
Audit Committee.
If a Supervisory Board member does not attend a meeting of
the Supervisory Board, one-third of the aggregate compensa-
tion due to that member is reduced by the percentage of Super-
visory Board meetings not attended by the member in relation
to the total number of Supervisory Board meetings held during
the fiscal year. In the event of changes in the composition of
the Supervisory Board and / or its committees, compensation is
paid on a pro rata basis, rounding up to the next full month.
In addition, the members of the Supervisory Board are entitled
to receive a fee of € , for each meeting of the Supervisory
Board and its committees that they attend.
The members of the Supervisory Board are reimbursed for out-
of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties
and for any value-added taxes to be paid on their remuneration.
For the performance of his duties, the Chairman of the Super-
visory Board is also entitled to an office with secretarial support
and the use of a carpool service.
No loans or advances from the Company are provided to mem-
bers of the Supervisory Board.
