The Shareholders’ Meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (CET), as a virtual Shareholders’ Meeting without physical attendance of shareholders or their proxy representatives (except for the proxy representatives nominated by the Company). The place of the Shareholders' Meeting within the meaning of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) is Werner-von-Siemens-Str. 1, 80333 Munich.

The provisions of the Act on Measures in Corporate Law, Cooperatives Law, Associations Law, Trust Law, and Residential Sectional Ownership Law to Combat the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic of March 27, 2020 (COVID-19 Measures Act) continue to apply until December 31, 2021, pursuant to the Ordinance on Extending Measures in Corporate Law, Cooperatives Law, Associations Law and Trust Law to Combat the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic of October 20, 2020 until December 31, 2021. This allows the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in 2021 as a virtual Shareholders’ Meeting without physical attendance of the shareholders or their proxy representatives (except for the proxy representatives nominated by the Company).

The entire Shareholders' Meeting on February 10, 2021 will be webcast live in sound and vision for shareholders of Siemens Energy AG and their proxy representatives at 10:00 a.m. (CET) via the Internet Service at www.siemens-energy.com/agm-service. Shareholders can obtain online access by entering their Shareholder Control Number and their related Personal Identification Number (PIN) specified in the materials sent to them.

Only those shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at the virtual Shareholders’ Meeting who are recorded as shareholders of the Company in the Company’s share register and who have submitted timely notification of attendance at the Shareholders’ Meeting. The notification of attendance must be received by the Company no later than midnight (CET) on Wednesday, February 03, 2021.  The right to attend and vote is based on the shareholding evidenced by entry in the Company’s share register as of the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting. Applications for registration in the Company’s share register received by the Company from February 4, 2021, through February 10, 2021, i.e. after the end of the closing date of the notification period, will be processed and considered only with effect after the Shareholders’ Meeting on February 10, 2021. The technical record date is therefore the end (CET) of February 3, 2021.

Such questions must be received by the Company via the Company's Internet Service by no later than February 8, 2021, 10:00 a.m. (CET). It is not possible to ask questions after this time and in particular not during the virtual Shareholders’ Meeting. 

Upon registration, you can choose whether you wish to exercise your vote by absentee voting, authorize the proxy representatives nominated by the Company or other proxy representatives – such as intermediaries (e.g. credit institutions), shareholders’ associations, proxy advisors as well as persons who tender the service commercially to shareholders of exercising their voting right at the shareholders’ meeting.

Information on data protection for Siemens Energy AG shareholders

The EU General Data Protection Regulation ascribes great importance to the transparency of data processing. The security of your personal data and protection of your privacy are our utmost priority, which we ensure with state-of-the-art methods for secure data communication.

The following is intended to provide you with information on processing of your personal data by Siemens Energy AG and your rights under data protection law. You can obtain more information on data protection in our Privacy Notice.

The responsible entity is Siemens Energy AG, Otto-Hahn-Ring 6, 81739 Munich, Germany.

ADEUS Aktienregister-Service-GmbH, Munich, Germany, has been appointed to maintain the share register of Siemens Energy AG. If you have any questions on data protection in the share register, we therefore ask you to contact
hv-service.siemens-energy@adeus.de or the hotline at + 49 (0) 89 636 - 25 358.

When maintaining the share register, we process your data – as we receive it from you, the custodian bank or the central securities depository Clearstream Banking AG, Eschborn, Germany – on the basis of the requirements under stock corporation and capital market law as well as regulatory specifications. Section 67 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) stipulates that registered shares must be entered in the company’s share register along with the name, date of birth and postal as well as e-mail address of the shareholder and the number of shares. In order to clarify any potential ambiguities, the bank submitting the information will also be recorded. We use your personal data for the purposes provided for in the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). These purposes include, in particular, maintaining the share register, communicating with you as a shareholder, and staging Shareholders’ Meetings. In the case of structural or capital measures, we must refrain from providing certain shareholders with information on offers owing to their nationality or place of residence, in order to comply with securities legislation in individual countries.

In connection with the Shareholders’ Meeting, we process your personal data (register data of the shareholder, the name, address and e-mail address of his/her representative, if applicable, the type of ownership of the shares, absentee votes/voting instructions, and the number of the admission ticket, if applicable) on the basis of prevailing data protection legislation in order to enable you as a shareholder to exercise your rights at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Processing of your personal data is mandatory under stock corporation law (Section 123 (2) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in conjunction with Section 14 of the Articles of Association of Siemens Energy AG; Section 129 (1) sentence 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG); Section 1 (1, 2) of the Act on Measures in Corporate Law, Cooperatives Law, Associations Law, Trust Law, and Real Estate Owner Law to Combat the Effects of the COVID-19-Pandemic) so that you can attend the Shareholders’ Meeting and/or cast votes.

We use external service providers and their subcontractors, in each case in the EU, for administration and technical maintenance of the share register (share register service company) and to stage the Shareholders’ Meeting (shareholders’ meeting service provider). Upon the publication of counterproposals and election nominations we disclose the name and address of the respective shareholder. In connection with the Shareholders' Meeting, shareholders and their proxy representatives may view the list of attendance.

As a matter of principle, we render your personal data anonymous and delete it as soon as it is no longer deemed necessary for the above-mentioned purposes, insofar as statutory documentation and storage obligations (for example in the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), German Commercial Code (HGB), German Fiscal Code (AO)) are not applicable.

At the address stated above, you can obtain information on and access to the data about you that we have stored. If certain requirements are met, you also have the right to demand that your data be rectified or erased or that processing of it be restricted (for instance, if your data is processed unlawfully).

You can contact the Data Privacy Officer via the email address stated in our Privacy Notice or the responsible data protection supervisory authority.
