Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA

The Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG (hereafter: the Management Board), as the general partner of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (hereafter: the Company), and the Supervisory Board of the Company last issued a declaration of compliance on the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code (hereafter: the Code) pursuant to Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act in December 2020. This declaration is updated as follows:
Pursuant to recommendation G.8 of the Code, subsequent changes to the target values or comparison parameters of the variable compensation of the members of the Management Board shall be excluded. For precautionary reasons, a deviation from this recommendation is declared.
For the 2020 fiscal year, an impairment of goodwill and tradenames in the Latin America segment has materialized with an impact of almost EUR 195 million as a consequence of the macro-economic downturn and increasing risk adjustment rates for several countries in Latin America. In particular to ensure the comparability of the underlying financial figures of the performance targets with the Company's operating performance and to adequately recognize the actual performance of the members of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board of the general partner – in accordance with the recommendation G.11 of the Code, pursuant to which the Supervisory Board shall have the possibility to account for extraordinary developments to an appropriate extent – has decided to disregard the Latin American impairment in question, which solely relates to the carrying amounts, when determining the relevant target achievement.
In all other respects, the declaration of compliance of December 2020 remains unaffected.
Bad Homburg v.d. Höhe, February 2021
Management Board of the general partner of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, and Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA
