ams-OSRAM AG is subject to the scope of section 86 para 7 AktG and has to adhere to the minimum quota pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG.

Neither the majority of the Shareholder Representatives nor by the majority of the delegated members of the Works Council raised an objection in accordance with section 86 para 9 AktG, therefore, the minimum quota may be fulfilled jointly, not separately.

The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG currently consists of eight members elected by the General Meeting (Shareholder Representatives) and four members delegated by the Works Council (Employee Representatives) pursuant to section 110 ArbVG. The Shareholder Representatives are currently consisting of four women and four men. The Employee Representatives currently consist of one woman and three men. Therefore, the Company fulfils the minimum proportion requirement pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG.

With completion of the upcoming Annual General Meeting, the supervisory board mandates of Mr. Hans Jörg Kaltenbrunner, Mr. Michael Grimm, Ms. Yen Yen Tan, Ms. Monika Henzinger, Mr. Kin Wah Loh and Mr. Brian M. Krzanich will expire.

The Supervisory Board proposes to fill these six vacating board seats so that the Supervisory Board will still consist of eight Shareholder Representatives and four Employee Representatives also after the upcoming Annual General Meeting. Of those six board members, at least one member has to be a woman to again comply with the minimum proportion requirement pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG.
