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.

    Press Presse Press Presse Munich, Germany, December 2, 2009 Siemens Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to decide on a total of nine settlement agreements Siemens AG has come to an agreement about settlements with six further former Board members against whom damages were claimed in connection with past cases of corruption in the company. Corresponding agreements have been reached with former Managing Board members Johannes Feldmayer, Klaus Kleinfeld, Jürgen Radomski and Uriel Sharef, the former Chairman of the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board Heinrich von Pierer, and the former Chairman of the Supervisory Board Karl Hermann Baumann. Agreement had already been achieved prior to this with the three former Managing Board members Edward G. Krubasik, Rudi Lamprecht and Klaus Wucherer. No agreement has been reached with the former Managing Board members Thomas Ganswindt and Heinz-Joachim Neubürger, against whom criminal investigations by the Public Prosecutor’s Office Munich are pending. The current nine settlement agreements must be finally decided on by the Siemens Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 26, 2010. In September this year, the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG had already decided on the basis of the legal situation to take legal action against any former Board members with whom no settlement agreement was concluded in time for it to be presented at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in January 2010. An agreement with the former Managing Board member Günter Wilhelm, against whom Siemens AG is claiming damages for financing the independent employee association Ar- beitsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Betriebsangehöriger (AUB), is not to be attempted until after ter- mination of the current investigations of the AUB matter by the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
