Lutz Ladies and Gentlemen: In fiscal 2012, the Supervisory Board periodically and thoroughly dealt with RENK’s situation and development and throughout performed the tasks and duties incumbent on it under law, the Company’s bylaws and its own Rules of Procedure. We provided the Executive Board members with advice on the conduct of business and oversaw their activities. The Supervisory Board convened in 2012 at four meetings, attendance averaging 88 percent. Detailed Executive Board reports (oral and written) informed the Supervisory Board on business trends and transactions of relevance, RENK’s performance and financial trends, the corporate plan and any variances and their causes, the present strategic focus, as well as the purposes and configuration of the risk management system. As part of its management monitoring duties, the Supervisory Board further- more satisfied itself of the installation by the Executive Board of an effective and efficient regulatory compliance system for the RENK Group, and obtained reports on compliance-related tests and audits. The Supervisory Board’s Presidential Committee met twice in fiscal 2012; no other committees existed within the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board was involved as advisory body in all issues and decisions of import to RENK. Moreover, at periodical conferences with the Executive Board mem- bers outside scheduled Supervisory Board meetings, I discussed, among other topics, 06 relevant issues involving RENK’s business trend, regulatory compliance, and strategic projects. Agendas of Supervisory Board meetings The Supervisory Board’s March 5, 2012 meeting centered on the annual financial statements for fiscal 2011 (including the dependency report on affiliations). Further topics being discussed at this meeting were the approval of the agenda of, and pro- posed resolutions to be passed by, the annual general meeting 2012, the Executive Board’s compliance report, as well as amendments to the fixed salary and D&O insur- ance cover in the Executive Board members’ service contracts. Preceding the AGM on April 26, 2012, the Supervisory Board met again to listen to the Executive Board’s report on RENK’s business trend and then discuss the pre-publication Q1 interim report. At the Supervisory Board meeting of July 27, 2012, the Executive Board reported on ongoing cost efficiency improvement projects, as well as on M&A and R&D activities. This was followed by a joint discussion by the Supervisory and Executive Boards of the semiannual financial report prior to publication. Then a resolution to change the Executive Board remuneration system by redesigning the long-term performance- related incentive was passed. Details are included in the Board Compensation Report 2012 which is published as part of the annual management reports for RENK AG and the Group. The Supervisory Board’s October 22, 2012 meeting upstream of the Q3 interim report’s publication also dealt with the German Corporate Governance Code, the declaration of conformity, and the examination conducted on the efficiency of Supervisory Board activities as recommended in § 5.6 of the Code. Moreover, the Supervisory Board dis- cussed with the Executive Board the applicability of Codetermination Act provisions, besides formally resolving that PwC be engaged to audit RENK AG’s annual financial statements and dependency report. The newly appointed Compliance Officer then introduced himself to the Supervisory Board and submitted his report on RENK AG’s regulatory compliance system. Corporate governance In December 2012, RENK AG’s Executive and Supervisory Boards issued the declaration of conformity on the current recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code Government Commission (as amended up to May 15, 2012). This declaration is published on RENK AG’s website. The Supervisory Board approved the corporate gov- ernance report 2012 at the present meeting of February 21, 2013. In fiscal 2012, no Supervisory Board member reported any clashing interests under the terms of § 5.5 of the Code. Annual and dependency report audits 2012 The separate financial statements and management report of RENK AG, as well as the consolidated financial statements and group management report, for the fiscal year 07 RENK Annual Report 2012 ended December 31, 2012, were all examined by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Wirt- schaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (“PwC”), Munich, the statutory auditor duly elected by the annual general meeting; PwC issued its unqualified opinion on both sets of financial statements. The focal audit areas defined by the Supervisory Board referred to deferred taxes and hedge accounting. Pursuant to Art. 312 German Stock Corporation Act (“AktG”), the Executive Board pre- pared a dependency report on affiliations for fiscal 2012. The statutory auditor exam- ined this report and issued the following opinion thereon: “According to our due audit and analysis we hereby confirm (1) that the facts stated in the report are true and valid, and (2) that the consideration the Company received for the legal transactions mentioned therein was not unreasonably high.” The Supervisory Board endorsed the statutory auditor’s conclusions from the latter’s examination of the dependency report. The statutory auditor attended, and reported on its key audit conclusions at, our annual accounts meeting today. We took approving note of the audit results. According to the final results of our own review of RENK AG’s separate and consoli- dated financial statements and the management reports, we do not raise any objec- tions either. We approve the separate financial statements as prepared by the Execu- tive Board, which are thus adopted, as well as the consolidated financial statements. After thorough discussion of the RENK Group’s financial budget and capital expendi- ture plan, we agree with the Executive Board’s proposal (also reviewed by us) for the appropriation of net earnings. After reviewing the final results of our own examination, we found no reasons for objections to the Executive Board’s concluding statement in the dependency report. Changed Supervisory Board membership After Ms. Hiltrud Werner had been delegated in May 2011 by MAN SE to RENK AG’s Supervisory Board in accordance with Art. 7(3) Clause 1 of the Articles of Incorporation (bylaws), the AGM endorsed Ms. Werner’s Supervisory Board membership, electing her formally for the remaining term of office of the Supervisory Board. The current year 2013 will see a change in Supervisory Board membership. Since RENK meantime regularly employs more than 2,000 people, the provisions of Art. 96(1) AktG in conjunction with Art. 1(1) MitbestG (German Codetermination Act) require the Supervisory Board in future to have six stockholder and employee representatives each, as set out in Art.
