OUR DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
The executive bodies of a.i.s. AG hereby declare that the Company complies with the recommendations of the Government Commission's German Corporate Governance Code published in the version dated 15.05.2012, with the following exceptions:
- The members of the Supervisory Board are appointed by the court today. The Board should be confirmed within the next general assembly I August 2013. This brings us closer to the Code.
- Representatives of the employees as member of the supervisory board are only expected after a stable growth phase and upon reaching a minimum size of 500 people of personnel. The Board will then raise the number of members of today 3 to 6.
- The annual general meeting may not decide on business matters and organ remuneration by now but voting for the orientation and the development of goals on the General shareholders meeting are possible for indication. A rejection of the goals from the General Meeting would the institutions grant the Company the opportunity to give your offices and enable claims against the Company in the short legal (immediate execution)
- The annual general meeting cannot be hold in 2011 and, 2012. The Company will comply with the influence of the annual meeting on business matters if the stability is assured, but not later than in 2014. The a.i.s. AG cannot comply with the interests of minority shareholders as main aim is to secure the entrepreneurial development.
- With regard to the proportion of women we would see without problem that Executive and Supervisory Board are both consisting of women. We reject a quota.
- Due to cost reasons The Board will not engage audit committees, other committees or election committees to determine and approve accounting, risk or control functions.
- Board members may join the Supervisory Board to abdicate for the Protection of society very well, if the majority of the Supervisory Board or a simple majority in the shareholders meeting will endorses this.
- Because of the enormous expenses of the reporting and the auditing process in the case of listed company, we are for now unable to obtain reliable data on the financial calendar leave. We can correspond only partially based on the current balance but will make this more reliable in the future.
- The company can only partially meet the requirements of the expected Financial Reporting in 2011, since delays in the reporting on the basis of the legal provisions for restructuring companies' needs cost-neutral approach. The State regulations would need to differentiate in a case by case here.
- The regular reporting could be fulfilled. We have minor delays within the financial statements. The major focus was still the setup of business in 2012. The regulation prescriptions are difficult for smaller entities.
