Prof. Dr. Joachim Rogall, Sandra Breka and Dr. Hans-Werner Cieslik Management Board of Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH 6 PROFILE Who We Are Who We Are A Strong Voice in Civil Society PROFILE 7 Who We Are he Robert Bosch Stiftung is one of the major foundations in Europe that is associated with a private company. Established in 1964, based on the will of Robert Bosch, the Foundation owns Tapproximately 92 percent of the shares in Robert Bosch GmbH and funds its activities from the dividends from this share- holding. Since its inception, the Foundation has given more than 1.6 billion euros for charitable purposes. In pursuing its charitable goals, the Foundation is nonpartisan and acts independently. It addresses social challenges, instigates change, and develops exemplary solutions. It does so by initiating and implementing its own projects as well as supporting third-party initiatives that match its funding goals. The Robert Bosch Stiftung considers itself a strong voice in civil society. With its charitable activities it intends to foster innovation that drives social change rather than substitute existing public or private action. It approves an average of 800 new projects a year. Headquartered in Stuttgart, the Foundation also has offices in Berlin and employs around 200 people. In addition, the Robert Bosch Stiftung operates three dependent foundations: The Hans-Walz-Stiftung supports projects in homeopathy. The Otto und Edith Mühlschlegel Stiftung focuses on issues around aging and a positive approach to old age. Projects of the DVA-Stiftung aim at strengthening the Franco-German cultural and academic dialogue. 8 PROFILE Who We Are We Initiate Change The Robert Bosch Stiftung – is first and foremost its team of 200 people THE BOSCH CONSTITUTION FACTS & FIGURES Bosch family Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG 800 7 % share 91.99 % share 0.01 % share new projects are 7 % voting rights No voting rights 93 % voting rights funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung Robert Bosch GmbH on average per year. € 1.2 bn. equity capital Since 1964, the 1 % share Foundation has No voting rights spent more than 1.6 billion euros.

Born in 1861 in Albeck near Ulm, he opened his “Workshops for Precision Mechanics and SElectrical Engineering” in Stuttgart in 1886. One year later, he built his first magneto ignition for combustion engines, laying the groundwork for the stellar rise of his company. Already at the beginning of the 20th century, Bosch began to look to other markets around the world. With sales offices in South Africa from 1906, Australia from 1907, Argentina from 1908, China from 1909, and Japan from 1911, the network of Bosch representatives covered all continents. In 1913, business outside Germany accounted for 88 percent of the company’s sales. Bosch used the company’s growing revenues to support social causes. He donated the majority of the profits made from the armaments business during the First World War to charity. After the war, Bosch became an advocate for the reconciliation between Germany and France. He rejected National Socialism and supported activities of the Resistance. Robert Bosch died in 1942 at the age of 80. In his will, Bosch had specified that the majority of income from his fortune would be used to benefit health, education, talent scholarships, and international reconciliation. His executors worked out a permanent solution covering his corporate, family and charitable interests. In 1964, the Bosch family transferred their shares in Robert Bosch GmbH to the Vermögensverwaltung Bosch GmbH, renamed Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH in 1969. 12 PROFILE Where We Come From Filling the Legacy with Life, Over and Over Again Education International Relations The areas supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung have deep roots, often dating back to specific activities of Robert Bosch himself. Some examples: Robert Bosch was critical of his own training in precision mechanics, The effects of the First World War made which made him an even more Robert Bosch a passionate advocate committed champion of education: of the cause of international relations.

The transaction has been approved by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of Bosch and the Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Siemens. The purchase price will total €3 billion. In addition, Siemens and Bosch will each receive from BSH an additional distribution of €250 million before the transaction is completed. The transaction, which still requires regulatory approval, will probably be completed in the first half of calendar year 2015. BSH will then become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bosch Group.

Electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM) was implemented both at a low-frequency (3.5 kHz) and in a high-frequency range of excitation (above 400 kHz). It was shown that the high-frequency ESM has a significant cross-talk with topography due to a tip-sample electrostatic interaction, while the low-frequency ESM yields a response correlated with distributions of Li ions and electrochemically inactive phases revealed by the confocal Raman microscopy. Parasitic contributions into the electromechanical response from the local Joule heating and flexoelectric effect were considered as well and found to be negligible.

At the outset, Bosch worked with two associates to construct and install all kinds of electrical equipment, such as telephone systems and electric bells. However, the company’s startup capital of 10,000 German marks was soon used up and they had to rely on loans. Robert Bosch invested most of the company's small earnings in modern machines. He later described his first years as a self- employed businessman as a “shambles”. The construction of the electric power station in Stuttgart in 1895 was one factor that helped the young company on the road to economic recovery by creating new jobs for its installation business. The second factor was the magneto ignition device, which had already become a linchpin in the company’s economic success. Bosch and the magneto ignition device Sept 7, 2020 In 1887, Robert Bosch had been approached by a customer and asked to Page 2 of 13 produce a magneto ignition device based on a model made by the engine manufacturer Deutz in Cologne.
