FRESENIUS SHARE

Since the beginning of the year, the Fresenius share moved sideways and closed after the first nine months at € 42.90.

FIRST TO THIRD QUARTER 2019

In the fi rst nine months of 2019, the global economy showed a gradual slowdown in economic growth overall. Among the unfavorable factors are geopolitical and economic risks, such as the continuing uncertainty about the Brexit and the renewed trade confl icts between the U.S. and China. According to the ECB's current forecast, the economy in the euro zone will grow by 1.1% this year. The ECB left its key interest rate unchanged at 0.00% post its September meeting.

The Federal Reserve's latest forecast projects the U.S. economy to grow by 2.2% in 2019. The U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the existing interest rates corridor by 25bps to 1.75% to 2.00% at its September meeting.

Within this economic environment, the DAX increased by 18% in the fi rst nine months of 2019 to 12,428 points. The Fresenius share closed at € 42.90 on September 30, 2019. This represents an increase of 1% over the same period.

HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY

The health care sector is one of the world's largest industries. It is relatively insensitive to economic fl uctuations compared to other sectors and has posted above-average growth over the past years.

The main growth factors are rising medical needs deriving from aging populations, the growing number of chronically ill and multimorbid patients, stronger demand for innovative products and therapies, advances in medical technology and the growing health consciousness, which increases the demand for health care services and facilities.

In the emerging countries, drivers are the expanding availability and correspondingly greater demand for basic health care and increasing national incomes and hence higher spending on health care.

Health care structures are being reviewed and cost-cutting potential identifi ed in order to contain the steadily rising health care expenditures. However, such measures cannot compensate for the cost pressure. Market-based elements are increasingly being introduced into the health care system to create incentives for cost- and quality-conscious behavior. Overall treatment costs shall be reduced through improved quality standards. In addition, ever-greater importance is being placed on disease prevention and innovative reimbursement models linked to treatment quality standards.

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISK REPORT

Compared to the presentation in the consolidated fi nancial statements and the management report as of December 31, 2018 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS, there have been the following important developments in Fresenius' overall opportunities and risk situation until October 31, 2019.

Fresenius Medical Care's operating result was impacted by a negative effect from adjustments on accounts receivable in legal dispute of € 84 million, the reduction in patient attribution and a decreasing savings rate for ESCOs, based on recent reports under discussion for current and prior plan years. This adjustment on accounts receivable results from a material weakness in FMC`s internal controls over fi nancial reporting regarding accounts receivable and revenue recognition specifi c to fee-for-service in legal dispute. FMC does not expect a restatement of its fi nancial statements previously fi led with the SEC. FMC is taking steps to remediate the control weakness.

In the ordinary course of Fresenius Group's operations, the Fresenius Group is subject to litigation, arbitration as well as external and internal investigations relating to various aspects of its business.

The Fresenius Group regularly analyzes current information about such matters for probable losses and provides accruals for such matters, including estimated expenses for legal services, as appropriate.

We report on legal proceedings, currency and interest risks on pages 53 and 57 to 60 in the Notes of this report.

GENERAL NOTES

1. PRINCIPLES

I. GROUP STRUCTURE

Fresenius is a global health care group with products and services for dialysis, hospitals and outpatient medical care. In addition, the Fresenius Group focuses on hospi tal operations and also manages projects and provides services for hospitals and other health care facilities worldwide. Besides the activities of the parent company Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. H., the operating activities were split into the following legally independent business segments as of September 30, 2019:

  • ▶ Fresenius Medical Care
  • ▶ Fresenius Kabi
  • ▶ Fresenius Helios
  • ▶ Fresenius Vamed

The reporting currency in the Fresenius Group is the euro. In order to make the presentation clearer, amounts are mostly shown in million euros. Amounts under € 1 million after rounding are marked with "–".

II. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, as a stock exchange listed company with a domicile in a member state of the European Union, fulfi lls its obligation to prepare and publish the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applying Section 315e of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

The accompanying condensed interim fi nancial statements comply with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34. They have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS in force on the reporting date and adopted by the European Union.

The Fresenius Group has applied IFRS 16, Leases, since January 1, 2019. As a result of the implementation, the Fresenius Group has updated its accounting policies accordingly. Changes in the accounting policies due to the implementation of IFRS 16 are described in note 1.IV, Recent pronouncements, applied.

For all other issues, the accounting policies applied in the accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2018.

III. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated fi nancial statements and management report for the fi rst three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2019 have not been audited nor reviewed and should be read in conjunction with the notes included and published in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2018 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS.

Except for the reported acquisitions (see note 2, Acquisitions, divestitures and investments), there have been no other major changes in the entities consolidated.

The consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2019 include all adjustments that, in the opinion of the Management Board, are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to provide an appropriate view of the assets and liabilities, fi nancial position and results of operations of the Fresenius Group.

The results of operations for the fi rst three quarters ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fi scal year 2019.

Classifi cations

As of December 31, 2018, property, plant and equipment included leased fi xed assets of € 142 million recognized in accordance with IAS 17. These were transferred to the line item right-of-use assets as of the beginning of fi scal year 2019.

As of December 31, 2018, the item of the statement of fi nancial position current portion of long-term debt included short-term liabilities from capital leases in accordance with IAS 17 of € 22 million. From fi scal year 2019, these are included in current portion of long-term lease liabilities.

As of December 31, 2018, the statement of fi nancial position item long-term debt, less current portion included longterm liabilities from capital leases in accordance with IAS 17 of € 197 million. From fi scal year 2019, these are included in long-term lease liabilities, less current portion.

In the consolidated statement of cash fl ows, in the comparative information for the fi rst three quarters of 2018, the line item repayments of long-term debt (in prior year designated as: repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations) included repayments of liabilities from capital leases in accordance with IAS 17 of € 25 million. From fi scal year 2019, these repayments are included in the line item repayments of lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IV. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, APPLIED

The Fresenius Group has prepared its consolidated fi nancial statements at September 30, 2019 in conformity with IFRS in force for the interim periods on January 1, 2019.

In the fi rst three quarters of 2019, the Fresenius Group applied the following new standard relevant for its business for the fi rst time:

IFRS 16

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which supersedes the current standard on lease accounting, IAS 17, as well as the interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. IFRS 16 signifi cantly changes lessee accounting. For almost all leases, a lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a

lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Only leases with a total maximum term of 12 months (short-term leases) and leases for underlying assets of low value may optionally be exempted from balance sheet recognition by applying an accounting policy choice. Depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability must be recognized in the consolidated statement of income for every lease contract recognized in the balance sheet. Therefore, straight-line rental expenses will no longer be shown for the vast majority of the leases. The lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17 are substantially carried forward.

The Fresenius Group applies the modifi ed retrospective method in accordance with IFRS 16 as the transition method. Accordingly, the cumulative effect from fi rst-time application was recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 without adjustments to the comparative information of the previous period.

In the application of the modifi ed retrospective method, the carrying amount of the lease liability at the date of the initial application is determined by discounting the remaining lease payments of lease agreements that were classifi ed as operating leases under IAS 17 using the term-, country- and currencyspecifi c incremental borrowing rate at date of initial application. Furthermore, right-of-use assets are to be recognized. In the application of the modifi ed retrospective method, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset equals the carrying amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments. For a part of the existing contracts, the Fresenius Group recognizes the right-of-use asset with its carrying amount assuming the new standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease discounted using its term-, country- and currency-specifi c incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

Regarding the options and exemptions available upon the initial application of IFRS 16, the Fresenius Group adopted the following approach:

  • ▶ IFRS 16 is only applied to contracts that were previously identifi ed as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
  • ▶ Recognition, valuation and disclosure principles of IFRS 16 are not applied to lease contracts with a lease term ending in less than 12 months from the date of the initial application. The respective lease contracts are accounted for as if they were short-term leases and recognized as an expense accordingly.
  • ▶ Material initial direct costs are included in the measurement of a right-of-use asset with the carrying amount assuming the new standard was applied since the commencement date of the lease.
  • ▶ Upon initial recognition, no impairment review was performed. The right-of-use assets were adjusted for onerous contract provisions, recognized on the consolidated statement of fi nancial position immediately before the date of initial application.

Right-of-use assets from lease contracts are classifi ed in accordance with the Fresenius Group's classifi cation of property plant and equipment:

  • ▶ Right-of-use assets: land
  • ▶ Right-of-use assets: buildings and improvements
  • ▶ Right-of-use assets: machinery and equipment

In addition to the right-of-use asset categories above, prepayments on right-of-use assets are presented separately. Rightof-use assets from lease contracts and lease liabilities are presented separately from property, plant and equipment and other fi nancial debt in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.

For lease contracts that include both lease and non-lease components that are not separable from lease components, no allocation is performed. Each lease component and any associated non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease.

For the impacts of IFRS 16, please see note 20, Leases.

V. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET APPLIED

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the following new standard relevant for the Fresenius Group's business:

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure related to the issuance of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, which was brought in as an interim standard in 2004. IFRS 4 permitted the use of national accounting standards for the accounting of insurance contracts under IFRS. As a result of the varied application for insurance contracts, there was a lack of comparability among peer groups. IFRS 17 eliminates this diversity in practice by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for using current values. The frequent updates to the insurance values are expected to provide more useful information to users of fi nancial statements. IFRS 17 is effective for fi scal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Earlier adoption is permitted for entities that have also adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 17 on the consolidated fi nancial statements.

The EU Commission's endorsement of IFRS 17 is still outstanding.

In the Fresenius Group's view, all other pronouncements issued by the IASB do not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements, as expected.

2. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND INVESTMENTS

The Fresenius Group made acquisitions, investments and purchases of intangible assets of € 2,292 million and € 876 million in the fi rst three quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Of this amount, € 2,199 million was paid in cash and € 93 million was assumed obligations in the fi rst three quarters of 2019.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE

In the fi rst three quarters of 2019, Fresenius Medical Care spent € 2,068 million on acquisitions, mainly on the purchase of NxStage Medical, Inc. (NxStage).

Acquisition of NxStage Medical, Inc., USA

On February 21, 2019, Fresenius Medical Care acquired all of the outstanding shares of NxStage for US\$ 30.00 per common share. The total acquisition value of this business combination, net of cash acquired, is US\$ 1,976 million (€ 1,741 million at date of closing). NxStage is a leading medical technology company that develops, produces and markets an innovative product portfolio of medical devices for use in home dialysis and in the critical care setting. NxStage has been consolidated as of February 21, 2019.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The following table summarizes the current estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. This allocation of the purchase price is based upon the best information available to management at present. Due to the relatively short interval between the closing date of the acquisition and the date of the statement of

fi nancial position, this information may be incomplete. Any adjustments to acquisition accounting, net of related income tax effects, will be recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

As of the acquisition date, it is estimated that amortizable intangible assets acquired in this acquisition will have weighted-average useful lives of 13 years.

Goodwill in the amount of US\$ 1,163 million was acquired as part of the NxStage acquisition.

NxStage's results have been included in the Fresenius Group's consolidated statement of income since February 21, 2019. Specifi cally, NxStage has contributed US\$ 211 million (€ 188 million) to sales and - US\$ 26 million (- € 24 million) to the operating income (EBIT) of the Fresenius Group for the fi rst three quarters of 2019. This operating loss amount does not include synergies which may have resulted at consolidated entities outside NxStage since the acquisition closed.

FRESENIUS KABI

In the fi rst three quarters of 2019, Fresenius Kabi spent € 85 million on acquisitions, mainly for already planned acquisition related milestone payments relating to the acquisition of the biosimilars business.

Termination of the merger agreement with Akorn, Inc.

On April 24, 2017, Fresenius announced that Fresenius Kabi has agreed to acquire Akorn, Inc. (Akorn), a U.S.-based manufacturer and marketer of prescription and over-thecounter pharmaceutical products, for approximately US\$ 4.3 billion, or US\$ 34 per share, plus the prevailing net debt at closing of the transaction.

Fresenius conducted an independent investigation, using external experts, into alleged breaches of FDA data integrity requirements relating to product development at Akorn.

Fresenius decided on April 22, 2018 to terminate the merger agreement with Akorn, due to Akorn's failure to fulfi ll several closing conditions.

Fresenius' decision was based on, among other factors, material breaches of FDA data integrity requirements relating to Akorn's operations found during Fresenius' independent investigation. Fresenius offered to delay its decision in order to allow Akorn additional opportunity to complete its own investigation and present any information it wished Fresenius to consider, but Akorn declined that offer.

TERMINATION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT WITH AKORN, INC.

Fresenius has sued Akorn for damages suffered as a result of lost acquisition expenses.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE HOLDINGS – QUI TAM COMPLAINT (MASSACHUSETTS)

On April 3, 2017, the court allowed the government to intervene with respect only to certain hepatitis B surface antigen tests performed prior to 2011, when Medicare reimbursement rules for such tests changed. On October 11, 2019, the United States and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. (FMCH) reached agreement on a settlement under which FMCH has paid US\$ 5.2 million in exchange for dismissal and release of all claims asserted by the United States or the relator. The settlement leaves unresolved the relator's attorneys' claims for fees and expenses and leaves FMCH free to pursue its administrative proceeding to recover certain sums recouped by or provisionally paid to the Medicare program pursuant to a 2013 audit of laboratory tests. The settlement payment, together with the expected results of the relator's attorneys' fee petition and the administrative proceeding, are less than the amount previously reserved by FMCH for the entire matter.

INTERNAL REVIEW

On March 29, 2019, FMC-AG & Co. KGaA entered into a nonprosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and a separate agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission intended to resolve fully and fi nally the government's claims against FMC-AG & Co. KGaA arising from the investigations. FMC-AG & Co. KGaA paid a combined total in penalties and disgorgement of approximately US\$ 232 million to the government in connection with these agreements. As part of the settlement, FMC-AG & Co. KGaA agreed to retain an independent compliance monitor for a period of two years and to an additional year of self-reporting. As of July 26, 2019, the monitor was appointed and the two-year monitorship period commenced. FMC-AG & Co. KGaA continues to cooperate with government authorities in Germany in their review of the issues resolved in the U.S. settlement.

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION

All of the institutional cases have been resolved by settlement except for the claims by the State of Louisiana through its Attorney General and Blue Cross Blue Shield Louisiana, which remain active in the combined proceeding. State of Louisiana ex re. Caldwell and Louisiana Health Service & Indemnity Company v. Fresenius Medical Care Airline, et al 2016 Civ. 11035 (U.S.D.C. D. Mass.). The Caldwell and Blue Cross Louisiana cases remain unresolved and are proceeding together in federal court in Boston but are subject to undecided motions for severance and remand. There is no trial date in either case. FMCH has increased its litigation reserves to account for anticipated resolution of these claims. However, at the present time there are no agreements in principle for resolving either case and litigation through fi nal adjudication may be required in them.

On September 6, 2018, a special-purpose entity organized under Delaware law for the purpose of pursuing litigation fi led a Pure Bill of Discovery in a Florida county court seeking discovery from FMCH related to the personal injury settlement, but no other relief. MSP Recovery Claims Series LLC v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, No. 2018-030366-CA-01 (11th Judicial Circuit, Dade County, Florida). The Pure Bill was thereafter removed to federal court and transferred into the multidistrict Fresenius Granufl o ® / Naturalyte ® Dialysate Products Liability Litigation in Boston. No. 1:13-MD-02428-DPW (D. Mass. 2013).

On March 12, 2019, plaintiff amended its Pure Bill by fi ling a complaint claiming rights to recover monetary damages on behalf of various persons and entities who are alleged to have assigned to plaintiff their rights to recover monetary damages arising from their having provided or paid for medical services for dialysis patients receiving treatments using FMCH's acid concentrate product. FMCH is responding to the amended complaint.

SUBPOENA "MARYLAND"

FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

CIVIL COMPLAINT "HAWAII"

Trial in the civil litigation is scheduled for April 2020.

SUBPOENA "FRESENIUS VASCULAR CARE"

Beginning October 6, 2015, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn) has led an investigation through subpoenas issued under the False Claims Act, utilization and invoicing by FMCH's subsidiary Azura Vascular Care, for a period beginning after FMCH's acquisition of American Access Care, LLC (AAC) in October 2011. FMCH is cooperating in the Brooklyn United States Attorney's Offi ce (USAO) investigation. The Brooklyn USAO has indicated that its investigation is nationwide in scope and is focused on whether certain access procedures performed at Azura facilities have been medically necessary and whether certain physician assistants employed by Azura exceeded their permissible scope of practice. Allegations against AAC arising in districts in Connecticut, Florida and Rhode Island relating to utilization and invoicing were settled in 2015.

SUBPOENA "TEXAS (DALLAS)"

FMCH has cooperated in the investigation.

SUBPOENA "NEW YORK"

FMCH contends that, under the asset sale provisions of its 2013 Shiel acquisition, it is not responsible for misconduct by the terminated employee or other Shiel employees prior to the date of the acquisition. The Brooklyn United States Attorney's Offi ce continues to investigate a range of issues involving Shiel, including allegations of improper compensation (kickbacks) to physicians, and has disclosed that multiple sealed qui tam complaints underlie the investigation.

On December 12, 2017, FMCH sold to Quest Diagnostics certain Shiel operations that are the subject of this Brooklyn subpoena, including the misconduct reported to the United States Attorney. Under the Quest Diagnostics sale agreement, FMCH retains responsibility for responding to the

Brooklyn investigation and for liabilities arising from conduct occurring after its 2013 acquisition of Shiel and prior to its sale of Shiel to Quest Diagnostics. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

SUBPOENA "AMERICAN KIDNEY FUND" / CMS LITIGATION

On January 3, 2017, FMCH received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts under the False Claims Act inquiring into FMCH's interactions and relationships with the American Kidney Fund (AKF), including FMCH's charitable contributions to the Fund and the Fund's fi nancial assistance to patients for insurance premiums. FMCH cooperated in the investigation, which was part of a broader investigation into charitable contributions in the medical industry. On August 1, 2019, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered an order announcing that the United States had declined to intervene on a qui tam complaint underlying the USAO Boston investigation and unsealing the relator's complaint so as to permit the relator to serve the complaint and proceed on his own. The relator has not served the complaint.

On April 8, 2019, United Healthcare served a demand for arbitration against FMCH. The demand asserts that FMCH unlawfully "steered" patients by waiving co-payments and other means away from coverage under government-funded insurance plans including Medicare into United Healthcare's commercial plans, including Affordable Care Act exchange plans. FMCH is contesting United Healthcare's claims and demands. A fi nal hearing date has been scheduled in the arbitration for September 2020.

LITIGATION TRICARE PROGRAM

On June 28, 2019, certain FMCH subsidiaries fi led a complaint against the United States seeking to recover monies owed to them by the United States Department of Defense under the Tricare program, and to preclude Tricare from recouping monies previously paid. Bio-Medical Applications of Georgia, Inc., et al. v. United States, CA 19-947, United States Court of Federal Claims. Tricare provides reimbursement for dialysis treatments and other medical care provided to members of the military services, their dependents and retirees. The litigation challenges unpublished administrative actions by Tricare administrators reducing the rate of compensation paid for dialysis treatments provided to Tricare benefi ciaries based on a recasting or "crosswalking" of codes used and followed in invoicing without objection for many years. Tricare administrators have acknowledged the unpublished administrative action and declined to change or abandon it but have not articulated a defense of the action. The United States has not yet been required to respond to the complaint and will not be required to do so before November 25, 2019. FMCH has imposed a constraint on revenue otherwise recognized from the Tricare program that it believes, in consideration of facts currently known, suffi cient to account for the possibility of not prevailing in the litigation.

SUBPOENA "NEVADA"

The Tolling Agreement, whereby Fresenius Kabi is waiving its statutory defense rights, was further extended by mutual agreement until December 2019.

relatively short period of maturity of these instruments.

At September 30, 2019 the Fresenius Group transferred the Humacyte investment of Fresenius Medical Care with a carrying amount of € 186 million from Level 2 to Level 3, because Fresenius Medical Care remeasured the fair value using a discounted cash fl ow model after events or changes in circumstances were identifi ed that had a signifi cant effect on the fair value of the investment.

During the fi rst three quarters of 2019 the Fresenius Group recognized gains of approximately € 186 million from changes in the fair value of equity investments within selling, general and administrative expenses.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS OF FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & CO. KGAA

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA Long-Term Incentive Plans 2019

As of December 31, 2018, the Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (FMC-AG & Co. KGaA) Long-Term Incentive Plan 2016 (LTIP 2016) expired. In order to continue to enable the members of the Management Board, the members of the management boards of affi liated companies and managerial staff members to adequately participate in the long-term, sus tained success of Fresenius Medical Care, successor programs effective January 1, 2019 were introduced. For members of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG (FMC Management AG) has approved and adopted the Fresenius Medical Care Management AG Management Board Long-Term Incentive Plan 2019 (MB LTIP 2019). For plan participants other than the members of the Management Board, the Management Board of FMC Management AG has approved and adopted the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Long-Term Incentive Plan 2019 (LTIP 2019).

The MB LTIP 2019 and the LTIP 2019 are variable compensation programs with long-term incentive effects. As under the LTIP 2016, pursuant to the MB LTIP 2019 and the LTIP 2019, plan participants may be granted so-called performance shares once or twice during 2019 for the MB LTIP 2019 and throughout 2019 to 2021 for the LTIP 2019. performance shares are non-equity, cash-settled virtual compensation instruments which may entitle plan participants to receive a cash payment depending on the achievement of pre-defi ned performance targets further defi ned below as well as FMC-AG & Co. KGaA's share price development.

For members of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board of FMC Management AG will, in due exercise of its discretion and taking into account the individual responsibility and performance of each Management Board member, determine an initial value for each grant for any awards to Management Board members. For plan participants other than the members of the Management Board, such determination will be made by the Management Board. In order to determine the number of performance shares each plan participant receives, their respective grant value will be divided by

the value per performance share at the time of the grant, which is mainly determined based on the average price of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA's shares over a period of 30 calendar days prior to the respective grant date. The number of granted performance shares may change over the performance period of three years, depending on the level of achievement of the following: (i) revenue growth at constant currency (revenue growth), (ii) net income growth at constant currency (net income attributable to the shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA) (net income growth) and (iii) return on invested capital (ROIC). For the LTIP 2019, the level of achievement for performance shares granted in fi scal year 2019 may be subject to an increase if certain targets in relation to the second phase of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA's Global Effi ciency Program are achieved (GEP-II targets).

Revenue, net income and ROIC are determined according to FMC-AG & Co. KGaA's consolidated reported and audited fi gures in Euro for the fi nancial statements prepared in accordance with the respective plan terms. Revenue growth, net income growth and the fulfi llment of the GEP-II targets, for the purpose of the relevant plan, are determined at constant currency.

An annual target achievement level of 100% will be reached for the revenue growth performance target if revenue growth is 7% in each individual year of the three-year performance period; revenue growth of 0% will lead to a target achievement level of 0% and the maximum target achievement level of 200% will be reached in the case of revenue growth of at least 16%. If revenue growth ranges between these values, the degree of target achievement will be linearly interpolated between these values.

An annual target achievement level of 100% for the net income growth performance target will be reached if net income growth is 7% in each individual year of the threeyear performance period. In the case of net income growth of 0%, the target achievement level will also be 0%; the maximum target achievement of 200% will be reached in the case of net income growth of at least 14%. Between these values, the degree of target achievement will be determined by means of linear interpolation.

With regard to ROIC, an annual target achievement level of 100% will be reached if the target ROIC as defi ned for the respective year is reached. The target ROIC is 7.9% for 2019 and 8.1% for each consecutive year. A target achievement level of 0% will be reached if the ROIC falls below the target ROIC for the respective year by 0.2 percentage points or more, whereas the maximum target achievement level of 200% will be reached if the target ROIC for the respective year is exceeded by 0.2 percentage points or more. The degree of target achievement will be determined by means of linear interpolation if the ROIC ranges between these values. In case the annual ROIC target achievement level in the third year of a performance period is equal or higher than the ROIC target achievement level in each of the two previous years of such performance period, the ROIC target achievement level of the third year is deemed to be achieved for all years of the respective performance period.

The achievement level for each of the three performance targets will be weighted annually at one-third to determine the yearly target achievement for each year of the three-year performance period. The level of overall target achievement over the three-year performance period will then be determined on the basis of the mean of these three average yearly target achievements. The overall target achievement can be in a range of 0% to 200%. For the LTIP 2019, the overall target achievement for performance shares granted in fi scal year 2019 shall be increased by 20 percentage points if the GEP-II targets achievement is 100%. In case of a GEP-II targets achievement between 0% and 100%, the respective increase of the overall target achievement will be calculated by means of linear interpolation. The overall target achievement increased by the GEP-II targets achievement shall not exceed 200%.

The number of performance shares granted to the plan participants at the beginning of the performance period will each be multiplied by the level of overall target achievement in order to determine the fi nal number of performance shares.

For the MB LTIP 2019, the fi nal number of performance shares is generally deemed earned four years after the day of a respective grant (the four-year vesting period). The number of such vested performance shares is then multiplied by the average FMC-AG & Co. KGaA share price over a period of 30 days prior to the lapse of this four-year vesting period. The respective resulting amount will then be paid to the plan participants as cash compensation.

For plan participants of the LTIP 2019, the fi nal number of performance shares is generally deemed earned three years after the day of a respective grant (the three-year vesting period). The number of such vested performance shares is then multiplied by the average FMC-AG & Co. KGaA share price over a period of thirty days prior to the lapse of this three-year vesting period. The respective resulting amount, which is capped in total at an amount equaling 400% of the grant value received by the participant, will then be paid to the plan participants as cash compensation.

Transactions during the fi rst three quarters of 2019 On July 29, 2019, FMC-AG & Co. KGaA awarded 101,600 performance shares under the MB LTIP 2019, the total fair value at the grant date being € 6 million. The fair value per performance share at the grant date was € 63.82.

On July 29, 2019, FMC-AG & Co. KGaA awarded 793,778 performance shares under the LTIP 2019, the total fair value at the grant date being € 52 million. The fair value per performance share at the grant date was € 65.29.

During the fi rst three quarters of 2019, 248,665 stock options were exercised. Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA received cash of € 12.9 million upon exercise of these stock options.
