  • Supervisory Board of Siemens Energy AG
    Supervisory Board of Siemens Energy AG siemens-energy.com Siemens Energy AG’s fiscal year 2020 was largely dominated by its spin-off from Siemens AG, which was completed with Siemens Energy AG’s listing. The company has thus achieved key milestones and is now independent. Siemens Energy’s first Annual Shareholders’ Meeting (AGM) will be held on February 10, 2021. We look forward to engaging with you at this Shareholders’ Meeting, which will be conducted as a virtual event due to the coronavirus pandemic. The meeting’s agenda contains important items that you are asked to vote on. Among other things, they include the appointment of the independent auditor, say-on-pay and in particular the election of the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board, who will represent your interests as part of their duties to oversee and advise the company. A lot of information on these subjects is already available, for example in the Annual Report or in the Notice of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting published in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) on December 15, 2020. For the first time, you have the opportunity to elect the Supervisory Board of the newly listed Siemens Energy. That is one of the core items on the agenda. We are, therefore, seeking dialogue with you in order to duly clarify key matters at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and, if necessary, deal with issues you feel to be important in greater depth. That is also important for us because interactive dialogue is restricted due to the fact that the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting is being held as a virtual event.
