Siemens proposes new Supervisory Board members to its Annual Shareholders' Meeting
- Grazia Vittadini from Airbus and Kasper Rørsted from Adidas are being proposed to Siemens' shareholders as new Supervisory Board members
- Jim Hagemann Snabe to be nominated again as candidate for Supervisory Board chair
- Proposals underscore importance of diversity, sustainability and digitalization for Siemens' Supervisory Board
- Election to be for a four-year term in each case
Siemens is proposing two candidates for election as new Supervisory Board members by its shareholders at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on
February 3, 2021: Grazia Vittadini (51), Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive Committee at Airbus, and Kasper Rørsted (58), CEO of Adidas AG.
New elections are necessary because the terms of office of Dr. Nicola Leibinger- Kammüller (60) and Werner Wenning (74) will expire upon conclusion of the upcoming Annual Shareholders' Meeting. The Annual Shareholders' Meeting on January 26, 2016, had reelected both of these members early to new terms as shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board.
"We thank Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller and Werner Wenning for their many years of outstanding work on the Siemens Supervisory Board. Grazia Vittadini and Kasper Rørsted, two leadership personalities with strong international reputations, have been nominated for election as their successors. These two candidates emphasize the diversity of Siemens' Supervisory Board, and they have a great deal of experience in the sustainable transformation and successful digitalization of industries and companies," said Jim Hagemann Snabe (55), Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG.

Møller-Mærsk A/S, is being proposed for reelection for another four years of membership on the Siemens Supervisory Board because his term of office will also expire upon completion of the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on February 3, 2021.
