From its humble beginnings in a carriage barn, the Lab’s first Research Director, a young professor from MIT named Willis Whitney, and early research pioneers William Coolidge and Irving Langmuir, drove groundbreaking advancements in electricity and healthcare that fulfilled the Lab’s original mission. On the shoulders of these innovation giants, the young lab continued to feed new innovations and new products into the marketplace, growing the company and research operation. Throughout our history, GE scientists and engineers have distinguished themselves, amassing tens of thousands of patents, two Nobel prizes in chemistry and physics, and a list of inventions that have defined and redefined generation after generation. What GE Does: Making aircraft engines more efficient. Powering the world with flexible gas turbines. Crunching big data. Pioneering the Industrial Internet. Creating greener ground transportation. Refining medical imaging for the future. GE Global Research has served as the cornerstone of GE innovation for more than a century. Currently, more than 3,000 of the world’s brightest scientists, engineers and researchers are working together to deliver technical breakthroughs for GE customers. In seven state-of-the art facilities around the world, we’re applying expertise in fields from electronics to chemistry, biosciences to computing, metallurgy to fluid mechanics, materials to imaging—and many more—against the world’s toughest challenges. Scientists at our largest site, in Niskayuna, collaborate with colleagues in Bangalore, Shanghai, Munich, Rio de Janeiro, San Ramon and Oklahoma City to invent better ways to build, connect, cure, move and power the world. 3 NeoKami GmbH Designed and built by an elite engineering team, Neokami was founded to create software that would allow businesses to easily and reliably use artificial intelligence to solve today’s problems. We quickly recognized an opportunity to address a significant technology gap in the market to address the most challenging cybersecurity problems facing every corporation. Neokami’s simple but profound mission statement is to use artificial intelligence to make the world a safer place. 4 NXP Semiconductors NXP® Semiconductors N.V.

NXP will continue to carry out corporate responsibility and do our best to be good corporate citizens for the future. We believe the semiconductor industry is poised to take on new challenges. Using the latest semiconductor technologies, which produce tiny circuits that can perform advanced functions with relatively low power consumption. Our industry can help address some of the most compelling challenges we face as a society. Issues relating to energy efficiency, mobile populations, national and personal security, and caring for the health of a growing and rapidly aging world population. In particular, our industry has the potential to directly address our dependence on fossil fuels and minimize carbon emissions. Semiconductors are already reducing the power consumption of server farms and making consumer appliances operate more efficiently. They're also accelerating the deployment of: • Energy efficiency • National and personal security • Caring for the health of a growing and rapidly aging world population • Dependence on fossil fuels and minimize carbon emissions. • Reduce the power consumption of server farms • Making consumer appliances operate more efficiently • Accelerating the deployment of energy-saving lighting technologies • Enabling the shift to hybrid and electric vehicles It is our collective responsibility, as an industry, to continue this trend of being proactive as we create value for consumers, the environment, and society as a whole. 5 Vereinigung der Bayerischen Wirtschaft (VBW) Vereinigung der Bayerischen Wirtschaft (VBW), also known as the Bavarian Business Association, represents more than 80 Bavarian economic and employers’ associations, including 30 companies from the manufacturing and skilled crafts industries; from construction, transportation, retail and whole sale; banking and financial services such as insurance; forestry, farming industry, hotel and food services, gastronomic and independent contractors: together, VBW represents companies employing more than three million people in the State of Bavaria.

The mendicant order and the brewery are named after Francis of Paola, the founder of the order. Paulaner is one of the six breweries who provide beer for Oktoberfest, the German beer festival dating from 1810. Paulaner ranks number 18 among Germany's best-selling breweries. The name of the Paulaner brewery refers to the order of friars that resided in Neuhauser Straße in Munich who were part of the order of Saint Francis of Paola. The friars had brewed beer for their own use since 1634. The beer that was permitted to be sold on holidays was a Bock style which gained local fame. After the abolition of the Neudeck Cloister in 1799, the building was converted into a penitentiary. Franz Xaver Zacherl, the brewer, purchased the former cloister brewery and continued the "Starkbier" tradition with the product Salvator, which is Latin for "Saviour". In 1861 the "Salvatorkeller" (Salvator cellar) was opened upon Nockherberg. In 1928 the brewery merged with the Gebrüder Thomas brewery creating Paulaner Salvator Thomas Bräu. 1994 saw the acquisition into the Kulmbacher brewery group with the affiliated producers Plauen and Chemnitz. A daughter company is the Auer Bräu AG Rosenheim. Paulaner belongs to the BHI (Brau Holding International AG), a joint venture between Schörghuber Ventures (50.1%)
