Financial Information during the Course of the Year 
Supported by the recommendation of its Audit Committee, the Supervisory Board proposes to elect PricewaterhouseCoopers 
GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, as the auditor and group auditor for the fiscal year 2021 and 
as the auditor for the potential review of financial information during the course of the year within the meaning of 
sec. 115 para. 7 of the Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz) that will be prepared prior to the Annual 
General Meeting 2022. 
The Audit Committee declared that its recommendation was free from undue influence by third parties and that no clause 
was imposed on it restricting its choice within the meaning of Article 16 (6) of the EU Audit Regulation (EU) No. 537/ 
?2014. 
6. Resolution on the Approval of the Compensation System for the Members of the Management Board of the General Partner 
 
As a result of the Act Implementing the Second Shareholders Rights Directive (ARUG II), the Stock Corporation Act 
(AktG) was amended to include, inter alia, the provision of sec. 120a of the Stock Corporation Act (AktG). Sec. 120a 
para. 1 of the Stock Corporation Act (AktG) stipulates that the Annual General Meeting of listed companies shall 
resolve on the approval of the compensation system for members of the Management Board presented by the Supervisory 
Board in the event of any material change to the compensation system, at a minimum, however, after every four years. In 
accordance with the statutory transitional provisions, the first resolution on the compensation system must be passed 
at the latest at the Annual General Meeting in 2021. 
The compensation system for the members of the Management Board of the General Partner was amended with effect from 
January 1, 2021 (Compensation System 2021+). Against this backdrop, a resolution on the approval of the compensation 
system presented by the Supervisory Board is to be adopted at the Annual General Meeting 2021. 
The Compensation System 2021+ is an integral part of this invitation to the Annual General Meeting and is being 
published and described in detail in the Annex to agenda item 6 following the agenda. 
The Supervisory Board proposes that the compensation system for the members of the Management Board of the General 
Partner (Compensation System 2021+) presented to the Annual General Meeting and published in the Annex to agenda item 6 
be approved. 
7. Resolution on the Remuneration of the Supervisory Board and the Amendment of Article 13 and Article 13e (3) of the 
Articles of Association 
The Act Implementing the Second Shareholders Rights Directive (ARUG II) has also resulted in an amendment to sec. 113 
para. 3 of the Stock Corporation Act (AktG). According to sec. 113 para. 3 sentences 1 and 2 of the Stock Corporation 
Act (AktG) as amended by ARUG II, the annual general meetings of listed companies must resolve on the remuneration of 
Supervisory Board members at least every four years, whereby a resolution confirming the remuneration is permissible. A 
corresponding resolution on the remuneration of Supervisory Board members must be passed at the latest at the Annual 
General Meeting in 2021. 
The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board is to be amended with effect as of January 1, 2021. 
Article 13 of the Articles of Association of the Company currently stipulates that, in addition to fixed remuneration 
components, the members of the Supervisory Board shall receive variable remuneration based on the respective average 
growth rate of consolidated net income for the year for which remuneration is payable as well as the two preceding 
fiscal years. In line with the corresponding suggestion in the revised version of the German Corporate Governance Code 
(Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex, DCGK) of December 16, 2019, the predominant practice of large listed companies 
in Germany, and the recommendations of proxy voting advisors, this variable remuneration component shall be abolished 
through a corresponding amendment to Article 13 of the Articles of Association of the Company, which will enter into 
effect on January 1, 2021, and, by way of compensatory measure, the fixed remuneration shall be increased and an 
appropriate adjustment to remuneration for committee membership made. Service on the Nomination Committee shall not be 
subject to separate remuneration. Furthermore, the attendance fee for meetings of the Joint Committee of the 
Supervisory Board of the Company and the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Management SE shall in future be abolished. In 
all other respects, the remuneration for the members of the Supervisory Board shall remain unchanged and Article 13 of 
the Articles of Association of the Company shall merely be editorially revised. As the attendance fee for the Joint 
Committee will no longer apply in the future, Article 13e (3) of the Articles of Association of the Company shall be 
revised accordingly and additionally editorially modified to reflect the amendments to Article 13 of the Articles of 
Association. 
The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board and the proposed amendments are being published and described 
in detail in the annex to agenda item 7. 
The General Partner and the Supervisory Board propose to resolve as follows: 
The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board described in the annex to agenda item 7, entering into effect 
on January 1, 2021, will be approved and Article 13 and Article 13e (3) of the Articles of Association of the Company 
will be amended as follows: 
a) Article 13 of the Articles of Association will be reworded as follows: 
"Article 13 Supervisory Board Remuneration 
(1) Each member of the Supervisory Board shall as fixed remuneration receive an amount of Euro 180,000.00 annually for
