  • Siemens AG Governance & Markets Investor Relations GM IR 2 Werner-Von-Siemens-Str
    Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, We are very thankful for the possibility to introduce our viewpoints in the dialogue you have invited us to participate in. As a German Issuer, we are predominantly speaking for the German market with its highly developed and specific standards regarding share issuance request proposals. From our market perception, there is no particular need to reduce the applicable limit for general share issuances without preemptive rights from 20 percent to 10 percent in Germany, as there are no cases known to us where issuers have abused their authorizations to the disadvantage of their shareholders. As a general rule, issuers in Germany rely on § 186 para. 3 sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), where there is a clear legal limit of 10 percent for cash capital increases without preemptive rights. Should the existing, well balanced system be additionally burdened by different rules in the European Policy, there will be mismatches between the 10 percent proposed by ISS and the 10 percent as stated in the law, not least due to the fact that most issuers have various authorizations for different types of Authorized Capital and Conditional Capital (in Germany primarily used for the issuance of convertible and warrant bonds) in place that customarily are not proposed in one AGM but in different AGMs with different authorization periods applicable as a result. One example may highlight this: in 2015 we exchanged bond with warrant units issued in 2012 under an authorization of 2010 in order to substitute warrants relating to Siemens and Osram shares with new warrants exclusively relating to Siemens shares under an authorization of 2015.

  • Joe Kaeser – Der Desintegrator
    Denkzettel Nr. 66 managerismus Joe Kaeser – der Desintegrator Ein Rückblick auf sieben Jahre Siemens-CEO ____________________ Manfred Hoefle Wer eine Eloge auf den Abschied-nehmenden CEO lesen möchte, nimmt am besten mit dem Buch „Zukunft gestalten - Die Siemens-Unternehmer (1847-2018)“vorlieb; es könnte von Joe Kae- ser (himself) stammen. Nun geht es um eine andere Erzählung. Am 1. August 2013 löste er Peter Löscher, den ersten extern rekrutierten, fremdelnden Vor- standsvorsitzenden ab, der Siemens durch den Korruptionsskandal manövrierte, doch wenige geschäftliche Impulse setzte. Die Laufbahn von Joe Kaeser hatte ihren Anfang im Halbleiterge- schäft in Regensburg, führte nach Kalifornien, dann zur Zentralabteilung Finanzen, er rückte zum Bereichsvorstand von IC Mobile (ICM) auf, wurde 2004 Strategiechef unter dem amerikani- sierten Kurzzeit-CEO Klaus Kleinfeld, mit dem er bis heute im High Five-Stil verbunden blieb. 2006 war er Nachfolger des wegen Korruptionsvorwürfen zurückgetretenen Finanzchefs Heinz- Joachim Neubürger und erarbeitete sich bei Analysten einen guten Ruf. Die zur Schau getragene Loyalität Löscher gegenüber verflüchtigte sich. In einem Power Play unter dem ambivalenten Juristen und Aufsichtsratsvorsitzenden Gerhard Cromme war Joe Kaeser die allernächste Alter- native. Ihm wird nachgesagt, dass er zum richtigen Moment stets zur Stelle und im falschen bereits weg war. Das Amt trat Joe Kaeser mit dem Versprechen an: „Höchste Priorität ist nicht ein weiteres Rest- rukturierungsprogramm, sondern die Beruhigung des Unternehmens und die Stabilisierung der inneren Ordnung“. Die Euphorie war groß, dass einer mit 33 Jahren Stallgeruch und großer Hausmacht das Steuer übernimmt. ERMUTIGENDE ANKÜNDIGUNGEN Vision 2020 (von 2014) sollte zum neuen Leitstern am Siemens-Firmament werden. „Eine starke Mission, gelebte Eigentümerkultur, konsequente Strategie“ waren die Hauptpunkte des anste- henden Wandels.

While the firm’s sales growth met shareholder expectations, net income remained largely stable. During the following weeks and months, Siemens’ top management not only faced increased pressure from its shareholders, but also higher environmental uncertainty and stronger global competition than during the early and mid-1990s. The challenge for the top management team was to optimize the business portfolio in a way that promised to add substantial shareholder value over the next years.

  • Siemens Hauptversammlung 3. Februar 2021
    Siemens Hauptversammlung 3. Februar 2021 Statements von Winfried Mathes, Spezialist Corporate Governance bei Deka Investment: Ära Kaeser Die Ära Kaeser war für Siemens unter dem Strich positiv, auch wenn es einige Schönheitsfehler gab. Mit seinen Strategie-Programmen Vision 2020 und Vision 2020 plus hat Joe Kaeser das Gesicht von Siemens geliftet, ähnlich wie einst das „10-Punkte-Programm“ des ehemaligen Vorstandsvorsitzenden Heinrich von Pierer Ende der 90er Jahre. Mit der Vision 2020 wurden die Margen im industriellen Geschäft von 7,5 Prozent im Geschäftsjahr 2013 schnell auf 11 Prozent angehoben und die nervenaufreibenden Projektbelastungen nachhaltig und substanziell reduziert. Die Vision 2020 plus hat Siemens zu einem stärker fokussierten Unternehmen geformt. Jetzt ist es an Roland Busch, dem neu strukturierten Technologieunternehmen Siemens seinen eigenen Stempel aufzudrücken. Schönheitsfehler Als Aktionär kann man bemängeln, dass es in den letzten Jahren keine entscheidenden Margenverbesserungen im industriellen Geschäft mehr gab. Zudem ist das einst margenstarke Energiegeschäft von der schneller als erwartet fortschreitenden Wende zu einer kohlenstoffärmeren Energieerzeugung überrollt worden. Und die einst als Traum-Akquisition gepriesene Dresser-Rand entpuppte sich eher als schwarzes Schaf. Das Kalkül, Dresser-Rand als Türöffner für die Prozessautomatisierung und die Digitalisierung der Öl- und Gas-Industrie zu nutzen, ist nicht aufgegangen. Zur Dividende COVID-19 hat auch die Ertragssituation von Siemens nicht verschont. Erstmals seit Joe Kaesers Amtsantritt sind wir Aktionäre mit einer Dividendenkürzung konfrontiert. Da hilft auch die kryptische Erklärung seitens des CFO Thomas nicht weiter, die uns eine unveränderte Dividende zum Vorjahr glaubhaft machen soll. Allerdings ist zu hoffen, dass die zur diesjährigen regulären Dividende von 3,00 Euro gezahlte Zusatzdividende von 0,50 Euro im neuen Geschäftsjahr nicht unter den Tisch fällt.
