In 2011, the Supervisory Board held seven meetings in person and two meetings by conference
call. The members of the Corporate Executive Board attended the meetings and other members
of senior corporate, continental, and local management were regularly invited to present. The
Supervisory Board held one private meeting without other attendees to independently review
certain issues and to discuss matters related to the functioning of the Corporate Executive and
Supervisory Boards. The external auditor attended the meeting on March 2, 2011, at which the
2010 Annual Report and financial statements were recommended for adoption by the annual
General Meeting of Shareholders. In a separate private meeting attended by the CEO, the
Supervisory Board assessed its own performance, that of its committees and its individual
members, as well as the performance of the Corporate Executive Board and its individual
members. The performance assessment was based upon a questionnaire distributed in advance
to the members of the Supervisory Board. The members of the Supervisory Board have regular
contact with the members of the Corporate Executive Board and other company management
outside of the scheduled meetings of the Supervisory Board.
