Declaration of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board

of Daimler Truck Holding AG

pursuant to § 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) regarding the compliance with the German Corporate Governance Code

Since the submission of the last declaration of compliance with the German Corporate Governance Code in December 2022, Daimler Truck Holding AG has complied with the recommendations of the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code in the version of April 28, 2022 published on June 27, 2022 (hereinafter referred to as GCGC) with the following exceptions and will also continue to comply with them in future with the following exceptions:

  • Recommendation B.3 GCGC states that initial appointments of board members should be for a maximum of three years. Already prior to the stock exchange listing of Daimler Truck Holding AG in December 2021, Martin Daum was appointed as a member of the Board of Management of Daimler Truck Holding AG until February 28, 2025, Jochen Goetz until June 30, 2026 and Jürgen Hartwig until November 30, 2026, whereby Jochen Goetz has left his offices with passing away on August 5, 2023. At the time, the longer appointment period took into account, in particular, that Daimler Truck Holding AG acts as the management holding company of Daimler Truck AG and that Martin Daum, Jochen Goetz and Jürgen Hartwig have already been members of the Board of Management of Daimler Truck AG since October 1, 2019. The appointment of the other members of the Board of Management who are still in office was in accordance with the Recommendation. Recommendation B.3 of the GCGC will also in future be complied with.
  • According to Recommendation C.4 GCGC, a Supervisory Board member who is not a member of any management board of a listed company shall not accept more than five supervisory board mandates at non-group listed companies or comparable functions, with an appointment as chair of the supervisory board counting twice. According to Recommendation C.5 GCGC, members of the management boards of listed companies shall not accept in total more than two supervisory board mandates at non-group listed companies or comparable functions and shall not accept the chairmanship of a supervisory board at a non-group listed company. Instead of observing the recommended total number of mandates for members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board as a rigid upper limit, it should be possible to consider each individual case in order to assess whether the number of mandates held, which are relevant within the meaning of the Code, appears appropriate. In this context, the individual workload to be expected as a result of the mandates accepted should be taken into account,

which may vary depending on the mandate.
