COMPENSATION REPORT 2 022
The Compensation Report of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (the Company) for the fiscal year 2022 (the Fiscal Year) was prepared in accordance with the requirements of section 162 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG) as amended by the German Act Implementing the Second Shareholder Rights Directive (Gesetz zur Umsetzung der zweiten Aktionärsrechterichtlinie – ARUG II). The Compensation Report includes individualized and comprehensive information on the compensation within the meaning of section 162 para. 1 AktG awarded and due to current and former members of the management board and of the supervisory board in the Fiscal Year and benefits within the meaning of section 162 para. 2 AktG awarded and promised to members of the management board.
The Company is a partnership limited by shares. Its general partner is Fresenius Medical Care Management AG (the General Partner). Information on the management board relates to the management board of the General Partner (the Management Board).
PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft audited the Compensation Report from a formal perspective pursuant to section 162 para. 3 AktG. In addition to such audit from a formal perspective which is required by law with respect to the existence of the information required by law, PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft was instructed to carry out an audit from a substantive perspective of such information included in the Compensation Report. The auditor's report is annexed to this Compensation Report.
The 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Company approved the Compensation Report for 2021 with a majority of approximately 94.87% of the votes cast. The Management Board and the supervisory board of the Company (the Supervisory Board) see this as confirmation of the way in which the report is presented. The structure of the Compensation Report for the Fiscal Year and the level of detail of the information provided are essentially the same as in the previous year.
The compensation awarded and due in the Fiscal Year rewarded the performance of the members of the Management Board in achieving the strategic goals in the Fiscal Year and, at the same time, provided effective incentives for the long-term valuecreation of the Company – taking into account the interests of patients, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. Therefore, the compensation of the members of the Management Board reported in this Compensation Report made a significant contribution to promoting the business strategy and the longterm sustainable development of the Company and the group.
As in previous years, Fresenius Medical Care's growth in the Fiscal Year was impacted by the ongoing COVID-19-related excess mortality among dialysis patients.
The company also operated in a difficult and inflationary macroeconomic environment during the Fiscal Year, resulting in high logistics costs, rising raw material and energy prices, and supply chain disruptions. This was exacerbated by the ongoing war in Ukraine and the resulting economic impact, which significantly impacted earnings development – particularly in the health care products business.
In the important U.S. market, Fresenius Medical Care was confronted with an unprecedented labor market situation for the company in the Fiscal Year. Staff shortages and high employee turnover rates at dialysis centers resulted in a greater need for agency staff, significantly higher costs for surcharges and retention payments, and significant wage inflation. In addition, some dialysis centers in the U.S. were able to accept new patients only to a limited extent due to the tight staffing situation. This had an additional negative impact on growth in the health care services business and in complementary business areas, and thus also on operating leverage in the areas concerned. The impact on earnings was only partially offset by financial support from the U.S. government to offset costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the effects of the initiated improvement measures in the North American health care services business have been delayed against the company's original assumptions.
Against the background of the developments described above, revenue in the Fiscal Year increased by 10% to €19,398 M (2% at constant currency) and net income declined by 31% to €673 M (– 37% at constant currency).
In the Fiscal Year, the business performance was reflected by an overall target achievement of 37.27% for the short-term incentive for the Fiscal Year. For further details see the section "Short-term incentive – MBBP 2020+".
The performance period of the allocation made under the Management Board Long Term Incentive Plan 2020 (MB LTIP 2020) in the fiscal year 2020 also ended upon the end of the Fiscal Year. The annual target values and the target achievement for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 performance periods were each as shown in Table 4.11.
Payments under the MB LTIP 2020 will be possible for the first time in 2023. The amounts received are to be invested in shares of the Company which are to be held for at least one year. The members of the Management board will therefore not be able to dispose of the corresponding amounts before 2024.

1 Revenue growth and net income growth were determined at constant currency. Furthermore, as already reported for the first time in the 2020 Compensation Report, an impairment of goodwill and tradenames in the Latin America Segment has materialized with an impact of €194,468 THOUS as a consequence of the macro-economic down-turn and increasing risk adjustment rates for several countries in the Latin America Segment. In particular to ensure 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 February 2021 decided in the Fiscal Year to exclude the Latin America Segment impairment in question, which solely relates to the carrying amounts, when determining the relevant target achievement for the short-term incentive for the year 2020.
The company has completed the realignment of its operating model under the "FME25" program and, since the beginning of 2023, has been operating under a significantly simplified structure with only two global segments: Care Enablement and Care Delivery. The realignment of the operating model has led to changes in the allocation of responsibilities among the members of the Management Board. According to the allocation of responsibilities implemented as of January 1, 2022, Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß (previously member of the Management Board for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region) is responsible for the new Care Enablement business segment and Mr. William Valle (previously member of the Management Board for the North America region) for the new Care Delivery business segment, under which to report as of 2023. Overall, the number of Management Board departments was reduced from eight to five in the course of this.
In view of the age limit set by the supervisory board of the General Partner, Mr. Rice Powell retired from the Management Board upon termination of his appointment at the end of the Fiscal Year. He had previously resigned as Chair of the Management Board with effect from the end of September 30, 2022. Dr. Carla Kriwet had been appointed member and Chair of the Management Board with effect from October 1, 2022, and at her own request and by mutual agreement retired from these positions effective at the end of December 5, 2022. More detailed information on the agreements concluded with Mr. Powell and Dr. Kriwet with a view to their departure from the Management Board can be found in the section "Agreements with members of the Management Board who resigned from office during or at the end of the Fiscal Year".
Ms. Helen Giza has been Chair of the Management Board since December 6, 2022, and will be acting Chief Financial Officer until a successor is appointed to this position. She had previously been appointed Deputy Chair of the Management Board with effect from May 16, 2022, and served as Chief Transformation Officer during the Fiscal Year, responsible for the implementation of the FME25 program.
The new and, also with a view to the reduction of the number of departments of the Management Board, in some cases significantly expanded responsibilities of the Management Board members Ms. Helen Giza, Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß and Mr. William Valle have been taken into account in the compensation through corresponding, appropriate increases in the respective base salary. For those members of the Management Board with whom the compensation benefits are contractually agreed in U.S. dollar, the strong deterioration of the euro against the U.S. dollar in the Fiscal Year generally led to a corresponding increase of the euro amounts presented in this Compensation Report, which is not accompanied by a corresponding increase of the contractually agreed U.S. dollar amounts. This currency effect also affects Ms. Helen Giza, who has been compensated in U.S. dollars since May 16, 2022. The amounts for the Fiscal Year and the previous year (in each case in the reporting currency euro) can be found in the section "Compensation tables for the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year".
As already announced in the Compensation Report for the fiscal year 2021, the elimination of management board functions with regional responsibility associated with the realignment of the operating model under the FME25 program had the effect that the short-term variable compensation for the Fiscal Year for all members of the Management Board, in accordance with the applicable "Compensation System 2020+," was subject exclusively to performance targets measured at group level and no longer also partially at regional level.
The Company is a German partnership limited by shares (Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien), which does not have any management board itself but has a general partner, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, which manages the Company's affairs according to the Articles of Association. Each of the Company and the General Partner has its own supervisory board, the activities of which are remunerated in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company and the General Partner, respectively. For further information on the Company's corporate governance, please see the Company's Declaration on Corporate Governance (Erklärung zur Unternehmensführung), which is publicly available on the Company's website. Hence, the Company's Compensation Report includes not only information on the compensation of the General Partner and the Supervisory Board, but also on the compensation of the General Partner's Management Board and the General Partner's supervisory board.
Pursuant to Article 7 para. 4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the General Partner receives non-profit-and-lossrelated annual compensation of 4% of its share capital for managing the Company's affairs and the liability associated therewith. The General Partner's share capital amounted to €3 M in the Fiscal Year. The compensation due in this respect in the Fiscal Year was therefore €120 THOUS.
In addition, pursuant to Article 7 para. 3 of the Company's Articles of Association, the General Partner is reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection with managing the Company's affairs. This includes, in particular, the compensation of its board members as set out in the following.
The General Partner's supervisory board is responsible for determining the compensation of the members of the Management Board. The General Partner's supervisory board is supported in this task by a personnel committee established from among its members, the Human Resources Committee, which is also responsible for the tasks of a compensation committee. In the Fiscal Year, the Human Resources Committee consisted of Mr. Stephan Sturm (until September 30, 2022, until then also Chair), Mr. Michael Sen (since October 1, 2022, since then also Chair), Mr. Rolf A. Classon and Dr. Dieter Schenk (also Vice Chair).
Unless otherwise indicated, the following information relates to the compensation of the current members of the Management Board or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year. For the amounts, please see the section "Compensation tables for the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year".
For information on compensation of former members of the Management Board in the Fiscal Year, including the amounts of such compensation, please see the section "Former Management Board members' compensation". Former members of the Management Board within the meaning of this Compensation Report are those who ceased to hold office before expiry of the Fiscal Year.
The compensation of the Management Board members for the Fiscal Year was determined in accordance with the "Compensation System 2020+" as approved by the Company's Annual General Meeting on August 27, 2020 with a majority of more than 95% of the votes cast and as implemented with effect from January 1, 2020 in the service agreements of all members
of the Management Board. The compensation components awarded and due in the Fiscal Year under the provisions of the Compensation System 2020+ are in accordance with the Compensation System 2020+.
Details of the Compensation System 2020+ are available on the Company's website at www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/ about-us/management-board/compensation/. The main elements of the Compensation System 2020+ are also set out in this Compensation Report in the section "The Compensation System 2020+".
The Compensation System 2020+ and the compensation awarded or due in the Fiscal Year are in each case in accordance with the relevant recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code, both in its currently applicable version dated April 28, 2022, and in the version dated December 16, 2019, applicable in the Fiscal Year until then. Any deviations from the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code are disclosed in accordance with the legal requirements.
To the extent that compensation based on multi-year variable compensation, i.e. on cash-settled share-based compensation, which had been allocated in fiscal years preceding the Compensation System 2020+, was paid out to members of the Management Board in the Fiscal Year or to the extent that the latter exercised stock options awarded in fiscal years preceding the Compensation System 2020+, this was in each case done in accordance with the respectively applicable compensation systems approved by the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2010, 2011 and 2016.
Please refer to the section "Variable compensation components from allocations made prior to the Compensation System 2020+" for details on each such amount of multi-year variable compensation and for details on stock options.
The compensation awarded and due to the members of the Management Board in the Fiscal Year consisted of fixed and variable components:
In addition, some members of the Management Board exercised stock options awarded in previous fiscal years.
Payments under the multi-year variable compensation component provided for under the Compensation System 2020+, the MB LTIP 2020, will be possible for the first time only in 2023. The amounts received are to be transferred to a credit institution and invested for account of the Management Board members in shares of the Company, which are to be held for at least one year. The members of the Management Board will therefore be able to dispose of the corresponding amounts not before 2024. Details on the target values and target achievement to the allocation made in 2020 under the MB LTIP 2020 can be found in the section "Multi-year variable compensation target achievement for the performance period ending at the end of the Fiscal Year".
In determining the individual Management Board members' total compensation, the General Partner's supervisory board takes into account their different functions and responsibilities within the Management Board and the Company's economic situation. Furthermore, the General Partner's supervisory board takes into account that total compensation should also be appropriate considering the relevant market practice and benchmarks, using results of vertical and horizontal compensation reviews and external benchmark data. In addition, the total compensation contractually agreed with each member of the Management Board takes into account the best interest of the Company to retain the Management Board members and to attract potential new talent for the Management Board.
In order to assess the appropriateness of the compensation system and the individual compensation of the Management Board members, the General Partner's supervisory board conducts a horizontal review of compensation amounts and structures. The amounts of the target total direct compensation (base salary and the target short-term incentive amount and the allocation amount under the long-term incentive) and the relevant underlying components contractually agreed with each member of the Management Board are compared to compensation market data of companies of a comparable sector, country-coverage and size. In addition, the base salary as well as the target amounts of the variable compensation components of the Management Board members are benchmarked against those of companies of relevant peer groups (these include DAX companies as well as U.S. companies of comparable sector and size). For the Fiscal Year, the DAX companies in the composition of December 31, 2021 and – depending on the specific tasks of the relevant member of the Management Board – the following companies listed in the U.S. were used: Anthem Inc., Baxter International Inc., Boston Scientific Corporation, Cigna Corporation, CVS Health Corporation, DaVita Inc., Encompass Health Corporation, Humana Inc., McKesson Corporation, Medtronic plc and UnitedHealth Group Incorporated.
The General Partner's supervisory board also conducts a vertical review with respect to the compensation levels of the Company's

GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF THE COMPENSATION SYSTEM 2020+
economic and financial position giving due regard to the peer environment and to make a significant contribution to the implementation and further development of the business strategy.
The Compensation System 2020+ was developed based on the guiding principles shown in charT 4.12, whereby, for the reasons stated in the section "The Fiscal Year in retrospect," namely the elimination of Management Board functions with regional responsibility associated with the realignment of the operation model under the FME25 program, only global performance targets were applied in the Fiscal Year and not also regional ones.
The following illustration shows the compensation components and further design elements of the Compensation System 2020+, which are described in more detail in charT 4.13 on page 149.



The compensation structure of the target total direct compensation for a full fiscal year consists of 29% base salary, 31% shortterm incentive and 40% long-term incentive (See charT 4.14).
Owing to a 71% share of performance-based variable compensation components in target total direct compensation, the compensation of the Management Board is, as a whole, perfor-
mance-based. Owing to a 40% long-term incentive share (56% of variable compensation components), the compensation of the Management Board is geared to promoting sustainable and long-term corporate development.
The Management Board members' total compensation under the Compensation System 2020+ is limited, for one thing, by a cap applying to each variable compensation component and, for another, by maximum compensation.
For the short-term incentive, the target achievement and payout are capped at 120% of the relevant target short-term incentive amount. For the long-term incentive, the target achievement is capped at 200% for each allocation. In addition, the amounts received from each allocation of the long-term incentive are capped at 400% of the allocation amount, thus also capping the opportunity of benefiting from the Company's share price development in the relevant vesting period. The General Partner's supervisory board has also agreed a cap option for the variable compensation components in the event that extraordinary developments occur.
The Compensation System 2020+ provides for a maximum amount of total compensation for each member of the Management Board (maximum compensation). Such maximum compensation limits the amounts potentially paid out to and received by a member of the Management Board as compensation from determinations or allocations for a fiscal year, irrespective of the dates on which such amounts are paid out or received. The maximum compensation takes into account all amounts paid out and received under the fixed and variable compensation components and the pension expense of the pension commitment attributable to the relevant fiscal year. A Management Board member's maximum compensation may be lower than the sum of the potentially achievable payouts from the individual compensation components determined or allocated for a fiscal year.
The maximum compensation for a fiscal year is determined based on the currency of the base salary as specified in the relevant Management Board member's service agreement. Under the Compensation System 2020+ and the allocation of responsibilities on which it is based, and in accordance with the respective service agreement, it amounts to €12,000 THOUS or \$13,434 THOUS for the Chair of the Management Board (CEO), €9,500 THOUS or \$10,635 THOUS for the CEO North America (now responsible for Care Delivery) and €7,000 THOUS or \$7,836 THOUS for any other Management Board function. With a view to his resignation as Chair of
C 4.15 CAPS AND MAXIMUM COMPENSATION COMPENSATION SYSTEM 2020+

the Management Board at the end of September 30, 2022, the maximum compensation of Mr. Rice Powell for the Fiscal Year was reduced my mutual agreement from \$13,434 THOUS to approximately \$12,034 THOUS.
The review of compliance with the maximum compensation for 2020 may for the first time be conducted in 2023, i.e. when the vesting period of the long-term incentive allocated in 2020 has expired and the amount to be paid out has been finally determined.
The caps and maximum compensation under the Compensation System 2020+ are shown in charT 4.15 on page 150.
The compensation in the Fiscal Year of the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year will be described in more detail below. The following tables show their respective total compensation are set out in the section "Compensation tables for the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year". Information on the compensation for Management Board members that ceased to hold office before expiry of the Fiscal Year are set out in the section "Former Management Board members' compensation".
The Management Board members receive a base salary and fringe benefits as fixed compensation components.
In the Fiscal Year, the fringe benefits awarded or due to the Management Board members under their service agreements mainly consisted of the private use of company cars, housing, rent and relocation payments, reimbursement of fees for the preparation of tax returns, reimbursement of charges, contributions to pension schemes (other than the pension commitments set out herein), contributions to accident, life and health insurances or other insurances as well as tax equalization compensation due to varying tax rates applicable in Germany and the country in which the relevant Management Board member may be personally taxable. Please see the section "Further information" for details of such tax equalization compensation.
In addition, individual contractual pension commitments have been made to individual Management Board members. Payments to the Management Board members under pension commitments will only become payable when the covered event occurs. The pension commitments are set out in the section "Pension commitments".
The variable compensation components under the Compensation System 2020+ comprise a short-term and a long-term incentive component, the latter of which includes a mandatory share ownership element, as described in the section "Overview of the Management Board members' compensation in the Fiscal Year". Amounts from this long-term incentive component may be received for the first time in 2023 and are to be invested in shares of the Company which need to be held for at least one year. Details on the target values and target achievement to the allocation of the long-term incentive component made in 2020 can be found in the section "Multi-year variable compensation target achievement for the performance period ending at the end of the Fiscal Year".
In addition, some Management Board members received for their Management Board activities a long-term incentive from outstanding compensation components allocated in previous fiscal years under any of the compensation systems applicable until December 31, 2019. Furthermore, some Management Board members exercised stock options awarded in previous fiscal years. For more detailed information, please see the section "Variable compensation components from allocations made prior to the Compensation System 2020+".
The variable compensation components applicable under the Compensation System 2020+ to activities in the Fiscal Year are shown in charT 4.16 on page 152.
Under the Compensation System 2020+, the Management Board members are entitled to receive a short-term incentive in accordance with the Fresenius Medical Care Management Board Bonus Plan 2020+ (MBBP 2020+), which may result in a cash payment. The short-term incentive rewards the Management Board members for the Company's performance in the relevant fiscal year. The short-term incentive is linked to the achievement of three financial and one non-financial performance targets.
The target short-term incentive amount to be allocated to each Management Board member (which is paid out at a target achievement level of 100%) equals 105% (multiplier of 1.05) of the Management Board member's relevant base salary.
The functioning of the MBBP 2020+ is shown in charT 4.17.
The short-term incentive is measured based on the achievement of four performance targets: 20% relate to revenue, 20% to operating income, 40% to net income and 20% to the achievement of specific and measurable sustainability criteria. For the reasons stated in the section "The Fiscal Year in retrospect", the performance targets are no longer measured in part also at regional level, but exclusively at group level.
The supervisory board of the General Partner defines for each performance target the specific target values that lead to a target achievement of 0% (lower threshold), 100% and 120% (cap).
The following applies to each of the performance targets: If the lower threshold of a target value is not exceeded, the target achievement is 0%. If the upper target value is reached or exceeded, the target achievement is 120% (cap). If the financial performance values achieved are between the relevant target values for a target achievement of 0% to 50%, 50% to 100% or 100% to 120%, the relevant target achievement is determined by linear interpolation. The same applies if the total score achieved for the sustainability target lies between the target values for target achievement of 0% to 100% or 100% to 120%.
The short-term incentive is paid out in the year following the year of target achievement.
The financial performance targets (revenue, operating income, net income) reflect key performance indicators of the Company and support the Company's strategy of achieving sustainable and profitable growth. The key success factors for continuous growth in revenue are to attract new customers for products as

strategy with respect to environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG).
By measuring the performance targets at group (global) level and – in the past depending on the relevant Management Board member's function – at regional level, both the financial performance of the individual regions and that of the group were reflected.
As already reported in the Compensation Report for the fiscal year 2021, the company is realigning its operating model under the FME25 program. Under the significantly simplified structure, the company will operate with only two global segments: Care Enablement and Care Delivery. As already announced in the Compensation Report for the fiscal year 2021, the elimination of Management Board functions with regional responsibility had the effect that the short-term variable compensation for the Fiscal Year for all members of the Management Board, in accordance with the Compensation System 2020+, was subject exclusively to performance targets measured at group level and no longer also partially at regional level.
The target values applied to the financial targets in the Fiscal Year and their achievement are set out in Table 4.18.
In addition to the financial performance targets, the Compensation System 2020+ has incorporated sustainability as a non-financial performance target of the short-term incentive. This performance target underlines the Company's commitment to implement its Global Sustainability Program and is based on a qualitatively measurable sustainability target that relates to various environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG).
The achievement of the sustainability target is measured at the group level to ensure close collaboration across the Company's operating segments in the field of sustainability. For this purpose, eight material sustainability areas were defined: responsibility towards patients as well as employees, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, data protection and privacy, human and labor rights, sustainable supply, environment, and occupational health and safety. The progress in each sustainability area is measured by the degree of implementation of the following
pre-defined management concepts: purpose, goals and objectives, responsibility and ownership, coverage, reporting and communication, results and progress as well as policy, guideline and training. The eight sustainability areas and seven management concepts result in 56 sustainability criteria.
For the period from 2020 to 2022, the annual progress of the implementation of these sustainability criteria is measured in two steps using a control and calculation model. Further information can be found in the non-financial reporting of the company.
Within the control and calculation model, the degree of implementation of these sustainability criteria is evaluated in a first step using a predefined questionnaire. For each question, 0 points, 0.25 points, 0.5 points, 0.75 points or 1 point can be achieved depending on the degree of implementation. Based on the evaluation of the questionnaire, the score for each sustainability criterion is determined in a second step. The score for each sustainability criterion can also be 0 points, 0.25 points, 0.5 points, 0.75 points or 1 point. To calculate the achieved score for each sustainability criterion, the average of the points over the number of questions per sustainability criterion is calculated. If the thus calculated average deviates from the aforementioned scores, it is rounded down to the next lower score. For example, a score of 0.45 points would lead to a score of 0.25 points for a sustainability criterion.
To determine the total score for the sustainability target, the sum of the points achieved for the 56 sustainability criteria is calculated. The target values set by the General Partner's supervisory board for the Fiscal Year and for the two preceding years as well as the target achievement are set out in Table 4.19 on page 153.
Details on the sustainability target for the short-term variable compensation for the fiscal year 2023 can be found in the section "Outlook for compensation-related changes".

The degree of the overall target achievement for the shortterm incentive is determined based on the weighted arithmetic mean of the target achievement level of each performance target. Multiplying the degree of the respective overall target achievement with the target short-term incentive amount results in the final short-term incentive amount. After the corresponding resolution of the General Partner's supervisory board, the final short-term incentive amount is paid to the respective Management Board member in cash. Since the overall target achievement is capped at 120%, the final short-term incentive amount is also capped at 120% of the respective target short-term incentive amount.
Table 4.20 shows the target achievement per performance target as well as the overall target achievement for the Fiscal Year.
The overall target achievement for the short-term variable compensation for the Fiscal Year is identical for all Management Board members because the financial performance targets for the short-term variable compensation are no longer measured in part also at regional level but exclusively at group level for the reasons stated in the section "The Fiscal Year in retrospect".
The amounts to be paid out to the individual Management Board members in 2023 on the basis of this overall target achievement for the Fiscal Year, taking into account the target amount (base salary multiplied by the multiplier) and in compliance with the cap, can be found in Table 4.21 on page 154.
The corresponding information on the short-term variable compensation paid out in the Fiscal Year for the performance in 2021 was previously disclosed in the Compensation Report for the fiscal year 2021.
On the basis of the Compensation System 2020+, so-called Performance Shares were allocated to the Management Board members in the Fiscal Year under the MB LTIP 2020 as a longterm incentive.
The Performance Shares allocated to the members of the Management Board under the MB LTIP 2020 are non-equity, cash-settled virtual compensation instruments with a performance period of three years. Any amounts received from the Performance Shares are subject to the achievement of three equally weighted performance targets and further depend on the development of the stock exchange price of the shares of the Company. The amounts received from the Performance Shares (after taxes and duties) are transferred to a credit institution which uses them to purchase shares of the Company on the stock exchange. The shares so acquired are subject to a holding period of at least one year. The amounts resulting from the long-term incentive are therefore not accessible to the Management Board members before the expiry of a period of at least four years.
The allocation amount for the Performance Shares equals 135% (multiplier of 1.35) of the relevant base salary of the respective Management Board member.
In order to determine the number of Performance Shares to be allocated to the relevant Management Board member, the relevant allocation amount is divided by the value per Performance Share determined in accordance with IFRS 2 and considering the average price of the Company's shares over a period of 30 calendar days prior to each relevant allocation date. The number of Performance Shares to vest for each Management Board member depends on the achievement of the performance targets.
The functioning of the MB LTIP 2020 is shown in charT 4.22.
Revenue growth and net income growth are determined at constant currency. According to the plan terms, the underlying financial figures of the financial performance targets may be adjusted for effects from changes in IFRS accounting standards to ensure comparability of the financial figures to the operational performance.
The supervisory board of the General Partner defines for each performance target the specific target values that lead to a target achievement of 0% (lower threshold), 100% and 200% (cap).
The following applies to each performance target: If the lower target value is not exceeded, a target achievement of 0% applies. If the upper target value is reached or exceeded, a target

achievement of 200% (cap) applies. If the actual financial figures range between the relevant target values applicable to a target achievement of 0% to 100% or 100% to 200%, the target achievement is determined by linear interpolation. At the end of the three-year performance period, the supervisory board of the General Partner determines the overall target achievement by taking the average of the target achievement levels for the three performance targets in the applicable three-year performance period. The three performance targets are equally weighted.
Based on the degree of the overall target achievement, the number of Performance Shares to vest is determined for each member of the Management Board. The number of Performance Shares may increase or decrease over the performance period. A total loss as well as (at most) doubling of the allocated Performance Shares in case of a target achievement of 200% (cap) is possible. After the final determination of the overall target achievement, the number of Performance Shares to vest is multiplied by the average price of the Company's shares over the 30 calendar days preceding the relevant vesting date in order to calculate the corresponding amount received from the Performance Shares to vest. The total proceeds from the Performance Shares are capped at 400% of the relevant allocation amount.
Amounts from Performance Shares allocated under the MB LTIP 2020 may be received for the first time in 2023 (from the allocation in 2020). Given the fact that the amounts received will be invested in shares to be held for at least one year, the Management Board members will therefore not have access to the corresponding amounts before 2024.
| PERFORMANCE TARGET | WEIGHTING | RATIONALE AND LINK TO STRATEGY |
|---|---|---|
| REVENUE GROWTH |
1/3 | The key to continue growing revenue is to attract new product customers, new patients and increase the number of treatments performed each year as well as delivering in the other healthcare businesses. revenue growth also reflects the continuous importance of growth for the long-term success of the group. |
| NET INCOME GROWTH | 1/3 | on a group level, percentage growth in net Income is a key performance indicator used for internal management. net Income growth reflects the long-term profitability of the group. |
| ROIC | 1/3 | roIc is a profitability measure and expresses how efficiently capital under the company's control is allocated in the long-term or how well the company 's capital with regard to a specific investment project is employed. |
In order to achieve long-term profitable growth, the three performance targets revenue growth, net income growth and return on invested capital (ROIC) have been chosen as they reflect the Company's strategic priorities of increasing the business activities and at the same time ensuring a certain level of return of the Company's investments. These performance targets form part of the Company's key performance indicators and support the execution of the Company's longterm strategy (See charT 4.23).
For allocations in the Fiscal Year, the target achievement levels of the performance targets growth in revenue and net income growth are calculated based on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the entire three-year performance period. The basis for the first annual growth rate is 2021. To ROIC, annual target values apply. The respective target values are disclosed after the end of the three-year performance period.

1 The former member of the Management Board Dr. Carla Kriwet received an allocation of 21,346 Performance Shares in the Fiscal Year, which were forfeited in accordance with the applicable plan terms upon her departure from the Management Board.
2 The value per Performance Share as set out herein and relevant for the number of Performance Shares to be allocated is determined according to the plan terms considering the average price of the Company's shares over a period of 30 calendar days prior to the allocation date, which is why it may deviate from the Fair Value according to IFRS 2.
3 Please note for the amounts as set out herein that the compensation components for Ms. Helen Giza (since May 16, 2022) as well as Messrs. Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Rice Powell and William Valle are denominated in U.S. dollar and that the amounts may be subject to currency fluctuations. The translation of U.S. dollar amounts was done at the average exchange rates for the applicable calendar year.
In the Fiscal Year, the Performance Shares shown in Table 4.24 were allocated; their number was determined taking into account the allocation amount (basic compensation multiplied by the multiplier) and the value per Performance Share on the allocation date.
An overview of the status in the Fiscal Year of the Performance Shares allocated under the MB LTIP 2020 can be found in the section "Overview of outstanding share-based compensation components".
Individual members of the Management Board received variable compensation for their activities on the Management Board in the Fiscal Year based on outstanding compensation components allocated in previous fiscal years under one of the compensation systems applicable until December 31, 2019 or exercised stock options awarded to them in previous fiscal years under one of the compensation systems applicable until December 31, 2019. Further allocations based on these compensation components (including further awards of stock options) are no longer possible.
An overview of the status of these compensation components can be found in the section "Overview of outstanding sharebased compensation components".
To the extent members of the Management Board holding office at that time were entitled to the so-called Share Based Award under one of the compensation systems applicable until December 31, 2019, they may in principle receive share-based compensation, at the earliest, after a period of three years following the relevant allocation date. Such compensation is paid in cash in an amount that depends on the stock exchange price of the Company's shares on the exercise date. In special cases (e.g. disability to work, retirement, non-renewal of expired service agreements by the company) a shorter period may apply. The Share Based Award is to be classified as long-term compensation.
The Share Based Award is the amount of the one-year variable compensation component that under the compensation systems applicable until December 31, 2019 was to be converted into virtual shares of the Company not backed by equity of the Company as an amount to be deferred. In principle, 25% of the total amount of the one-year variable compensation was to be converted into such virtual shares; this amount was determined by multiplying the degree of the relevant overall target achievement by the relevant base salary and a further fixed multiplier. The amount to be paid out under Share Based Awards is calculated by multiplying the number of virtual shares by the stock exchange price of the Company's shares on the relevant exercise date.
In the Fiscal Year, individual current or former members of the Management Board received payments resulting from Share Based Awards allocated to them in 2019 for the achievement of the performance targets in 2018 (Allocation 2018) that vested in the Fiscal Year (See Table 4.25 on page 158).
An overview of the status in the Fiscal Year of the virtual shares allocated under the Share Based Award can be found in the section "Overview of outstanding share-based compensation components".

To the extent Performance Shares were allocated in earlier fiscal years to then members of the Management Board under the Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA Long Term Incentive Plan 2016 (LTIP 2016) or the Fresenius Medical Care Management Board Long Term Incentive Plan 2019 (MB LTIP 2019), they may under certain conditions – under the LTIP 2016 for the last time in the Fiscal Year, and, under the MB LTIP 2019, for the first time in 2023 – receive a share-based, cash-settled compensation from these Performance Shares. Furthermore, under the Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA Long Term Incentive Program 2011 (LTIP 2011) individual members of the Management Board may under certain conditions – and for the last time in 2023 – exercise previously awarded stock options.
An overview of the development in the Fiscal Year of the Performance Shares allocated under the LTIP 2016 and the MB LTIP 2019 as well as of the stock options awarded under the LTIP 2011 can be found in the section "Overview of outstanding share-based compensation components".
In the Fiscal Year, individual current or former members of the Management Board were awarded compensation from Performance Shares allocated to them in 2018 under the LTIP 2016. The Performance Shares allocated to the members of the Management Board under the LTIP 2016 are non-equity, cash-settled virtual compensation instruments with a performance period of three years. Performance Shares will generally vest, and will be paid out, at the end of a period of four years from each relevant allocation date.
In order to determine the number of Performance Shares to be allocated to the respective Management Board member, the relevant allocation amount was divided by the value per Performance Share determined in accordance with IFRS 2 and considering the average price of the Company's shares over a period of 30 calendar days prior to each relevant allocation date. The number of Performance Shares to vest for each member of the Management Board depended on the achievement of the performance targets. As regards the allocation in 2018, the performance targets relating to the 2018, 2019 and 2020 performance periods were decisive.
The degree of the overall target achievement during the threeyear performance period was determined based on the three performance targets revenue growth, net income growth and return on invested capital (ROIC). The annual target values and target achievement for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 performance periods were each as follows, according to Table 4.26 on page 159.
If the actual financial figures were between the relevant target values for a target achievement of 0% and 100% or 100% and 200%, the target achievement was determined by linear interpolation. The average of the annual target achievement levels over the three-year performance period was used to determine the overall target achievement.

Based on the degree of the overall target achievement, the number of Performance Shares to vest was determined for each member of the Management Board. The number of Performance Shares could increase or decrease over the performance period. A total loss as well as (at most) doubling of the allocated Performance Shares in case of a target achievement of 200% (cap) was possible. After the final determination of the overall target achievement, the number of Performance Shares to vest was multiplied by the average price of the Company's shares over the 30 calendar days preceding the relevant vesting date in order to calculate the corresponding amount received from the Performance Shares to vest.
Table 4.27 on page 160 provides the amounts paid out in the Fiscal Year from the Allocation 2018 under the LTIP 2016.
1 Revenue growth and net income growth were determined at constant currency. To ensure comparability, the figures underlying the achievement of the performance targets for the performance period 2019 and underlying the achievement of the ROIC performance target for the performance period 2020 were adjusted for effects resulting from the application of IFRS 16; the figures underlying the achievement of the revenue growth target and of the net income growth target were adjusted for effects resulting from the application of IFRS 15 for the performance period 2018.

1 Please note for the amounts paid out that the compensation components for Messrs. Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Rice Powell, William Valle, Michael Brosnan and Kent Wanzek are denominated in U.S. dollar and that the amounts may be subject to currency fluctuations. The translation of U.S. dollar amounts for the awarded long-term incentive (payout amount) was done at the closing rates of the vesting date.
2 The payout shown for Mr. Franklin W. Maddux, MD, was made based on an allocation prior to his appointment as a member of the Management Board. For plan participants who were not a member of the Management Board at the date of the allocation, the figures for the performance period 2020 for the allocation 2018 were also adjusted for effects of excess mortality rates of patients due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This adjustment ultimately only affected the achievement of the revenue growth target and resulted in the slightly higher overall target achievement reported herein.
3 The Allocation 2018 for Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß, who was appointed as a member of the Management Board with effect from September 1, 2018, was made in December 2018 and vested in December 2022. The relevant share price at payout for Dr. Mazur-Hofsäß therefore differs from that for the other Management Board members, for whom the Allocation 2018 was made in July 2018 and vested in July 2022.
In the Fiscal Year, individual current or former members of the Management Board exercised stock options awarded to them in previous years under the LTIP 2011.
The stock options awarded under the LTIP 2011 – for the last time in 2015 – may be exercised after the expiry of a four-year vesting period, which begins on the award date, within a further four years – thus for the last time in 2023 – taking into consideration certain blackout periods, the achievement of the performance targets and, subject to deviating agreements in individual cases, the continuation of the service relationship.
The performance target will be achieved in each case if, within the vesting period, either the adjusted earnings per ordinary share have increased by at least 8% per year compared to the respective previous year or, if this is not the case, the compound annual growth rate of the adjusted earnings per ordinary share has increased by at least 8% per year in the four-year vesting period. If, with respect to one or more of the four reference periods within the vesting period, neither the adjusted earnings per share have increased by at least 8% per year compared to the respective previous year nor the compound annual growth rate of the adjusted earnings per share has increased by at least 8% per year in the four-year vesting period, the relevant stock options issued will be forfeited to the extent that the performance target has not been achieved within the vesting period, i.e. by one quarter, by two quarters, by three quarters or in full.
Stock options may generally be exercised at any time after the end of the vesting period outside blackout periods. Blackout periods under the LTIP 2011 are the periods (i) from December 15 to January 15, (ii) from the 21st calendar day before the Annual General Meeting of the Company until the expiry of the day of such Annual General Meeting, (iii) from the date on which the Company publishes an offer to its shareholders to
Report by the Supervisory Board Declaration on Corporate Governance Compensation Report
subscribe for new shares in an official stock exchange journal or in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) until the date on which the shares of the Company entitled to subscription are listed "ex subscription right" for the first time on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and (iv) from the 15th calendar day prior to the publication of the quarterly or annual results until the publication of such quarterly or annual results. Any restrictions under capital markets law regarding the exercise of stock options will remain unaffected by the blackout periods.
The exercise price is the closing price of the Company's shares in the electronic "Xetra" trading of Deutsche Börse AG in Frankfurt am Main or a comparable successor system on the 30 calendar days preceding the relevant award date in euro. The exercise price will be adjusted under certain circumstances (e.g. in the event of capital measures of the Company).
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options are, with a view to the new provisions of section 162 AktG, not regarded as compensation awarded or due and, hence, not included in this Compensation Report. An overview of the status of the stock options can be found in the following section "Overview of outstanding share-based compensation components". Information on reportable exercises of stock options is publicly available on www.eqs-news.com in the section "Directors' Dealings" and is posted on the Company's website in the "Investors" section.
The status of the outstanding share-based components of the Management Board compensation of the current or former members of the Management Board in the Fiscal Year as well as further information are set out in TableS 4.28 To 4.30.
The following overview shows the temporal profile of the outstanding share-based compensation components already described in detail in charT 4.31 on page 166 and in the respective text sections.
Under the Compensation System 2020+, the supervisory board of the General Partner is entitled to withhold or reclaim variable compensation components in cases of a Management Board member's misconduct or non-compliance with his duties or internal Company guidelines, considering the characteristics of the individual case. Within this framework, the supervisory board ensures that contractual provisions are in place determining detailed requirements for withholding or reclaiming variable compensation components and setting forth the consequences thereof, including the forfeiture, in full or in part, of all or some variable compensation components.
In the Fiscal Year, there was no reason for the General Partner's supervisory board to make use of these authorizations.

Report by the Supervisory Board Declaration on Corporate Governance Compensation Report
Table 4.33 STarTIng on page 168 shows the individualized compensation awarded and due in the Fiscal Year to each current Management Board member or member in office until the end of the Fiscal Year. In addition, the pension expense incurred for the individual contractual pension commitments is disclosed. The tabular presentation is based on the model tables of the German Corporate Governance Code in its previous version dated February 7, 2017.
Under the regime of section 162 AktG, no uniform practice has yet emerged on the question of the conditions under which compensation is to be regarded as "awarded". The reporting logic underlying Table 4.33 STarTIng on page 168 is therefore explained below in the interests of clarity and comprehensibility of the Compensation Report.
For the purposes of Table 4.33 STarTIng on page 168, compensation is deemed to have been "awarded in the fiscal year" if it has vested in the fiscal year. For this purpose, compensation is deemed to have vested in the year in which the underlying activity has been fully performed and the entitlement to payment of the compensation is no longer subject to any conditions precedent or conditions subsequent. In the case of long-term variable compensation, this generally corresponds to the year in which it is paid out.
Based on this understanding, the short-term incentive is considered to have vested in the fiscal year, and is shown in Table 4.33 STarTIng on page 168 for the respective fiscal year, in which the underlying activity was performed. This facilitates comparison of the performance of the members of the Management Board in a fiscal year with the performance of the Company in the same fiscal year and to enable the short-term incentive to be allocated on an accrual basis to the year in which the performance was performed. The columns for the year 2022 therefore contain the short-term incentive for the Fiscal Year that will not be paid out until 2023, and the columns for the year 2021 contain the short-term incentive for 2021 that was paid out in the Fiscal Year.
In order to have the Management Board members adequately participate in the sustainable corporate development, the General Partner's supervisory board decided in 2021 that the Management Board members then in office – with their consent – would acquire shares in the Company on the stock exchange for a portion of the long-term incentive allocated to them as members of the Management Board in 2018 under the LTIP 2016 and in 2019 under the MB LTIP 2019. The shares so acquired may not be sold by the relevant Management Board member until the expiration of three years from the date of acquisition.
The portion of the long-term incentive for which a Management Board member acquired or has to acquire shares in the Company from the payout made in the Fiscal Year under the LTIP 2016 (Allocation 2018) depended on the overall target achievement for 2018, 2019 and 2020 as well as the stock market price of the Company's shares to be determined in accordance with the LTIP 2016. Details on the target achievement can be found in the section "LTIP 2016". The net amounts invested in the Fiscal Year or to be invested in 2023 by the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year are as follows in Table 4.32.
| In ThoUS | Amount | Currency |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß 1 | 36 | € |
| Rice Powell | 107 | \$ |
| William Valle | 54 | \$ |
1 Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß was appointed as a member of the Management Board on September 1, 2018. Therefore, the Allocation 2018 for her was made in December 2018 and a compensation from this allocation was awarded in December 2022. Her personal investment from the Allocation 2018 shall be made in a timely manner after the earnings release for the Fiscal Year.
The allocation in 2018 for Mr. Franklin W. Maddux, MD, was made prior to his appointment to the Management Board and is therefore not subject to the aforementioned personal investment. Information on the aforementioned personal investments made by the former members of the Management Board Dr. Olaf Schermeier, Mr. Kent Wanzek and Mr. Harry de Wit can be found in Table 4.35 on page 171 at the end of this section.
The portion of the long-term incentive for which a member of the Management Board will acquire shares in the Company from the payout expected for 2023 under the MB LTIP 2019 (allocation in 2019) and the amounts to be awarded depend on the overall target achievement under the MB LTIP 2019 and the stock market price of the Company's shares to be determined in accordance with the MB LTIP 2019. Accordingly, the specific amounts to be invested from the amounts received may only be determined in 2023. The members of the Management Board are intended to acquire the shares in the Company after the amounts to be invested have been determined. The investment of the amounts received under the MB LTIP 2020 in shares in the Company as provided for under the MB LTIP 2020 remains unaffected.
Already in 2019 and 2021, the supervisory board of the General Partner had further decided that the Management Board members then in office – with their consent – would acquire shares

1 Please note for purposes of comparison between the amounts indicated and those of the Fiscal Year that the compensation is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations depending on whether it is contractually denominated in euro (Ms. Helen Giza (until May 15, 2022) and Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß) or U.S. dollar (Ms. Helen Giza (since May 16, 2022) as well as Messrs. Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Rice Powell and William Valle). The plan terms of the Share Based Award entitle to payments in euro. In principle, the translation of U.S. dollar amounts was done at the average exchange rates for the applicable
calendar year. For the long-term incentive the translation of U.S. dollar amounts was done at the closing rates of the vesting date. The value of the euro against the U.S. dollar was considerably lower in the Fiscal Year than in the year 2021. 2 The base salary of Ms. Helen Giza was increased in the Fiscal Year with a view to her additional responsibilities (Chair of the Management Board (since December 6, 2022), previously Deputy Chair (since May 16, 2022) and tasks (Chief Transformation Officer).

in the Company on the stock exchange for a portion of their short-term incentive for 2018 and 2020, respectively, in order to adequately reflect the business development in those years. The shares so acquired may not be sold by the relevant Management Board member until the expiration of three years from the date of acquisition.
The number of shares (including American Depositary Shares (ADSs)) acquired by the current or former members of the Management Board in the course of the aforementioned personal investments are shown in Table 4.35 on page 171, with two ADSs representing one share. Reportable disposals of shares after the end of the respective holding period are published on www.eqs-news.com in the section "Directors' Dealings".
The following information concern benefits and commitments to members of the Management Board within the meaning of section 162 para. 2 AktG and related disclosures.
Unless otherwise stated in this Compensation Report, no benefits were awarded or promised to the members of the Management Board by a third party in the Fiscal Year with regard to their activities as members of the Management Board, and compensation awarded to members of the Management Board for management activities or supervisory board mandates in companies of the Company's group is offset against the compensation of the respective member of the Management Board. If the supervisory board of the General Partner resolves that compensation awarded to members of the Management Board for supervisory board activities outside the Company's group shall be deducted in full or in part from the compensation of the respective member of the Management Board, this will be made transparent accordingly.
The General Partner made the following pension commitments to the current Management Board members or members in office during the Fiscal Year.
The Management Board members Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß, Rice Powell and William Valle, each of whom were appointed to the Management Board before January 1, 2019, were each made an individual, performance-based (i.e., defined benefit) contractual pension commitment.
The defined benefit pension commitments each provide for a retirement pension and survivor benefits (Hinterbliebenenversorgung) as of the time of conclusively ending active work (at age 65 at the earliest) or upon occurrence of disability or incapacity to work (Berufs- oder Erwerbsunfähigkeit) or of a full or partial reduction in earning capacity (Erwerbsminderung), calculated by reference to the amount of the recipient's most recent base salary. Management Board members who have been members of the Management Board for at least ten years at the time of conclusively ending active work have this entitlement after having reached the age of 63 (early retirement); in this case, the benefits are reduced by 0.5% for each calendar month that the Management Board member retires from active work before reaching the age of 65.
The retirement pension is based on 30% of the last base salary (for the Management Board members Dr. Katarzyna Mazur-Hofsäß and Rice Powell) or the 5-year average of the last base salaries (for the Management Board member William Valle) and will increase for each complete year of service by 1.5 percentage points up to a maximum of 45%. Current retirement pensions increase according to statutory requirements (section 16 of the German Act for the Improvement of Company Pension Plans (BetrAVG)). As a general rule, 30% of the gross amount of any post-retirement income from an activity of the Management Board member is to be offset against the pension. If a Management Board member dies, the surviving spouse receives a pension amounting to 60% of the pension claim applicable at that time. Furthermore, the deceased Management Board member's natural legitimate children (leibliche eheliche Kinder) receive an orphan's pension amounting to 20% of the pension claim applicable at that time until they complete their education, but no

The pension commitment of Messrs. Rice Powell and William Valle is denominated in U.S. dollar. For the calculation of the pension provisions an exchange rate of €0,95 /\$1 was applied.
The amounts shown for Mr. Rice Powell include vested benefits from his participation in employee pension plans of Fresenius Medical Care North America, which provide for payment of a retirement pen-
sion after having reached the age of 65 and the payment of reduced benefits after having reached the age of 55. In March 2002, the claims under the pension plans were frozen at the level then applicable.

longer than they reach 25 years of age. However, all orphan's pensions and the surviving spouse's pension, taken together, must not exceed 90% of the Management Board member's pension claim. If a Management Board member leaves the Management Board before reaching the age of 65, the rights to the aforementioned benefits survive, however the pension to be paid is reduced – unless the Management Board member ceases to hold office because a covered event occurs (disability or incapacity to work, payment of a survivor's pension in case of death or, if applicable, early retirement) – in proportion to the ratio of the actual years of service as a Management Board member to the potential years of service until reaching the age of 65.
The development and status of the pension commitments pursuant to IAS 19 are shown in Table 4.34 on page 170.
The Management Board members Helen Giza and Franklin W. Maddux, MD, each of whom were appointed to the Management Board after January 1, 2019, were each made a pension commitment within the framework of a defined contribution plan. The corresponding pension commitment that had been made to Dr. Carla Kriwet in the Fiscal Year forfeited as a result of her departure from the Management Board.
The pension commitments to Helen Giza and Franklin W. Maddux, MD, each were made upon the prolongation of their respective service agreement. During the first three years from the granting of the pension commitment, there is generally a waiting period for the granting of benefits. Under the defined contribution plan, an annual insurance contribution amounting to 40% of the base salary is paid for the respective Management Board member retrospectively for the period from the appointment as a member of the Management Board, which determines the future benefit amount. After reaching the relevant retirement age under the defined contribution plan, payments can be made either as a one-off payment or optionally in ten annual installments. An annuity payment is not provided. The defined contribution plan provides for survivors' benefits (Hinterbliebenenversorgung) and benefits after the occurrence of a full or partial reduction in earning capacity (Erwerbsminderung). The implementation of the defined contribution plan is carried out in the form of external financing as a defined contribution plan with a reinsurance policy. The risks of death and occupational disability are covered already upon granting of the pension commitment.
The insurance contributions in the Fiscal Year and the present value as of December 31 of the Fiscal Year are as follows:

Based on individual contractual commitments, the Management Board members Helen Giza, Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Rice Powell and William Valle additionally participated in the U.S.-based 401(k) Savings Plan in the Fiscal Year; in this context, an amount of \$9,150 (€8,689) (2021: \$8,700 (€7,356)) vested in the Fiscal Year in each case. This plan generally allows employees in the U.S. to invest a limited portion of their gross salaries in retirement pension programs. The company supports its employees at this with benefits of up to 50% of the annual payments.
A post-employment non-competition covenant was agreed with each member of the Management Board. If such covenant becomes applicable, the member of the Management Board will receive, for a period of up to two years, non-compete compensation in principle amounting to half of the respective annual base salary for each year the non-competition covenant is applied.
The service agreements of the Management Board members contain no express provisions for the event of a change of control.
The service agreements concluded with the Management Board members provide for a severance payment cap. Under this cap, payments in connection with the early termination of a Management Board activity may not exceed the value of two years' compensation and may not compensate for more than the remaining term of the service agreement. To calculate the relevant annual compensation, only the fixed compensation components are applied. If the General Partner has terminated the service agreement for good cause or would be entitled to do so, no severance payments will be made.
All Management Board members have received individual contractual commitments to obtain continued compensation in cases of sickness for a maximum of twelve months; after six months of sick leave, insurance benefits may be offset against such payments. If a Management Board member dies, the surviving dependents will be paid three more monthly installments after the month of death, not to exceed, however, the amount
due between the time of death and the scheduled expiration of the relevant service agreement.
Dr. Carla Kriwet was a member and Chair of the Management Board from October 1, 2022 to December 5, 2022. The supervisory board of the General Partner has agreed with Dr. Carla Kriwet with a view to her departure from the Management Board that her service agreement ended with the expiry of the Fiscal Year. Dr. Kriwet was entitled to payment of her base salary until this date. In addition, Dr. Kriwet is entitled to shortterm variable compensation for the Fiscal Year in accordance with the relevant plan conditions and the targets agreed upon therein. The entitlement to payments of up to €1,300 THOUS for forfeited compensation benefits from a previous service relationship agreed with Dr. Kriwet on conclusion of her service agreement remains unaffected; corresponding payments can become due in March 2024 and in March 2025. Dr. Kriwet has no entitlement to the long-term variable compensation allocated to her in the Fiscal Year and no entitlement to pension payments. It was agreed with Dr. Carla Kriwet that she is entitled to a severance payment in the amount of an annual base salary of €1,800 THOUS. A post-contractual non-competition clause was agreed with Dr. Kriwet for the period from December 6, 2022 to December 5, 2024. The compensation that Dr. Kriwet receives for the two-year post-employment non-competition covenant amounts to €1,800 THOUS. Dr. Kriwet is entitled to use of her company car for the period until December 5, 2024. Furthermore, it was agreed with Dr. Kriwet that she will be reimbursed for the costs of legal advice she retained in connection with her departure from the Management Board.
Mr. Rice Powell was a member of the Management Board until the end of the Fiscal Year. The supervisory board of the General Partner has agreed with Mr. Rice Powell with a view to his retirement from the Management Board that the short-term and long-term variable compensation components allocated to him until the end of the Fiscal Year are exercisable and payable in accordance with the respective plan conditions and the targets and due dates agreed upon therein. Beginning January 1, 2023, Mr. Powell is entitled to a retirement pension in accordance with the pension commitment described above. A post-employment non-competition covenant was agreed with Mr. Rice Powell for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The compensation that Mr. Powell receives for the one-year post-employment non-competition covenant amounts to \$1,060 THOUS (€994 THOUS) and is to be offset against his retirement pension. The supervisory board of the General Partner has agreed with Mr. Powell that he will be available as a consultant to the Management Board for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 and will receive a consulting fee for this in the amount of up to \$25 THOUS (€23 THOUS) per month and, if necessary, reimbursement of reasonable expenses.
Compensation of the U.S. members of the Management Board Helen Giza, Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Rice Powell and William Valle, was partly paid in the U.S. (in U.S. dollar) and partly in Germany (in euro). With respect to the amount paid in Germany, it was agreed with the aforementioned Management Board members that due to varying tax rates in both countries, the increased or lower tax burden to such members of the Management Board arising from German tax rates in comparison to U.S. tax rates will be balanced or will be paid back by them (net compensation). Pursuant to a modified net compensation agreement, these Management Board members will be treated as if they were taxed in the United States only. Therefore, the gross amounts may be retroactively changed. Since the actual tax burden can be calculated only in connection with the preparation of the Management Board members' tax returns, subsequent adjustments may have to be made, which will then be retroactively covered in future Compensation Reports.
To the extent permitted by law, the General Partner undertook to indemnify the Management Board members from claims asserted against them arising out of their work for the Company and its affiliates, to the extent such claims exceed their liability under German law. To secure such obligations, a Directors & Officers liability insurance is in place having a deductible that corresponds to the specifications under German stock corporation law.
In accordance with applicable legal requirements, no loans or advance payments on future compensation components were awarded to members of the Management Board in the Fiscal Year.
Dr. Carla Kriwet was a member of the Management Board until December 5, 2022. In the Fiscal Year, Dr. Kriwet was awarded payments on her base salary of €450 THOUS for the period from October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, as well as a severance payment amounting to an annual base salary of €1,800 THOUS. For her willingness to take up her post early on October 1, 2022 rather than on January 1, 2023, Dr. Kriwet received an inaugural bonus of €100 THOUS. In addition, Dr. Kriwet received a payment of €600 THOUS for forfeited compensation benefits from a previous service relationship. In accordance with the applicable plan conditions, Dr. Kriwet was awarded short-term variable compensation for the Fiscal Year in the amount of €176 THOUS. Dr. Kriwet also was awarded fringe benefits in the form of the use of a company car and
the reimbursement of the costs for legal advice she retained in connection with her departure from the Management Board as well as contributions to accident, long-term care and health insurances in the amount of €47 THOUS in the Fiscal Year. The total compensation of €3,173 THOUS (2021: €0 THOUS) awarded to Dr. Kriwet in the Fiscal Year consists of 94% fixed compensation components and 6% short-term variable compensation components.

For an explanation as to how the compensation components correspond to the relevant compensation system, as to how compensation promotes the long-term development of the Company, as to how the performance criteria were applied as and as to how the compensation "awarded" in the Fiscal Year is defined, please refer to the respective aforementioned statements regarding the compensation for the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year. To the extent the aforementioned former members of the Management Board were awarded long-term variable compensation in the Fiscal Year, this is based on the Allocation 2018 under the LTIP 2016 or under the Share Based Award, respectively.
The supervisory board advises and monitors the management and is involved in the strategy and planning and in all matters of fundamental importance to the Company. In view of these tasks which carry a high degree of responsibility, the members of the
supervisory board are intended to receive appropriate compensation, which also takes sufficient account of the time required to hold the supervisory board office. In addition, supervisory board compensation that is appropriate also with respect to the market environment ensures that the Company will continue to have qualified candidates for the supervisory board in the future. Thus, appropriate compensation of the supervisory board members contributes to the promotion of the business strategy and the long-term development of the Company.
The Annual General Meeting of the Company on August 27, 2020 approved both the compensation for the Supervisory Board applicable at that time and the compensation applicable since January 1, 2021 by a majority of more than 98% of the votes cast. The resolution of the Company's general meeting on the Supervisory Board members' compensation can be found on the Company's website at www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/ en/about-us/supervisory-board/remuneration.
The compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board and the General Partner's supervisory board is governed by Article 13 of the Company's and the General Partner's respective Articles of Association, which are largely identical. This ensures that compensation of the Supervisory Board members on the one hand and the General Partner's supervisory board members on the other hand are aligned with each other. Unless otherwise indicated, the following statements therefore refer to compensation of both the Supervisory Board members and the General Partner's supervisory board members.
The members of the Supervisory Board receive compensation from the Company and the members of the General Partner's supervisory board from the General Partner. The compensation paid to the members of the General Partner's supervisory board and to the members of its committees is charged to the Company in accordance with Article 7 para. 3 of the Company's Articles of Association.
According to Article 13 of the respective Articles of Association, the members of the supervisory board receive fixed compensation, fringe benefits (comprising the reimbursement of expenses and insurance coverage) and, if they serve in committees of the supervisory board, compensation for these committee activities. If a fiscal year does not comprise a full calendar year, the compensation related to a full fiscal year is to be paid pro rata temporis.
In the Fiscal Year, the members of the supervisory board received compensation on the basis of and in accordance with Article 13 of the respective Articles of Association in the version applicable in the Fiscal Year as follows:
Each supervisory board member received fixed compensation of \$160 THOUS (2021: \$160 THOUS) for the full Fiscal Year, payable in four equal installments at the end of a calendar quarter. The chair of the supervisory board received additional compensation of \$160 THOUS (2021: \$160 THOUS) and the vice chair received additional compensation of \$80 THOUS (2021: \$80 THOUS), in each case for the full Fiscal Year.
As a member of a committee, a supervisory board member additionally received \$40 THOUS (2021: \$40 THOUS) for the full Fiscal Year. A member of a committee who served as chair or vice chair of a committee additionally received \$40 THOUS and \$20 THOUS for the full Fiscal Year, respectively (2021: \$40 THOUS and \$20 THOUS, respectively), payable in identical installments at the end of a calendar quarter. No separate compensation was awarded to supervisory board members who were members of the Joint Committee of the Company or performed the functions of chairs and vice chairs. In accordance with Article 13e para. 3 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the members of the Joint Committee are, however, entitled to receive an attendance fee in the amount of \$3.5 THOUS.
To the extent a member of the Supervisory Board at the same time is a member of the General Partner's supervisory board and receives compensation for these activities, such compensation will be reduced by half. The same applies to the additional compensation paid to the chair and the vice chair of the supervisory board if a person performs this function on the Supervisory Board and the General Partner's supervisory board at the same time. If the vice chair of the Supervisory Board or the General Partner's supervisory board at the same time is the chair of the General Partner's supervisory board or the Supervisory Board, that person will not receive additional compensation for the activity as vice chair. If a member of a committee of the Supervisory Board at the same time is a member of a committee of the General Partner's supervisory board and receives compensation for these activities, these compensation payments will be offset against each other in the corresponding amount, provided that the committees have the same type of functions and competences.

9 Former member and Chair of the supervisory board of the General Partner, but not a member of the supervisory board of the Company; compensation paid by the General Partner. Please note for purposes of comparison of the amounts indicated for the Fiscal Year that Mr. Stephan Sturm was a member and Chair of the supervisory board of the General Partner only until September 30, 2022, and, therefore, received compensation payments for these activities to be set out herein only until this date.
Furthermore, members of the supervisory board are reimbursed for the expenses incurred in the exercise of their office, including the statutory value-added tax owed by them.
A Directors & Officers liability insurance in favor of the supervisory board members is in place, having a deductible corresponding to the specifications applying to management board members under German stock corporation law.
The compensation awarded and due to the supervisory board members in the Fiscal Year exclusively comprises fixed compensation components.
The compensation awarded and due in the Fiscal Year to the current or former members of the Supervisory Board and the General Partner's supervisory board, including the amount charged by the General Partner to the Company, is shown in Table 4.37 on page 176.
In the Fiscal Year, no compensation was awarded or due to supervisory board members who ceased to hold office prior to the beginning of the Fiscal Year.
The development of the compensation awarded and due to the current or former members of the Management Board as well as of the Supervisory Board and the General Partner's supervisory board, the development of the Company's earnings and the development of the average compensation of employees on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis are shown comparatively in Table 4.38 STarTIng on page 178.
For the purposes of a comparative presentation of the Company's performance, in addition to the Company's annual results for the year under German commercial law, which shows the Company's earnings development, revenue and net income as well as operating income and return on invested capital (ROIC) are also used, each of which serve as key performance indicator of the group and as performance targets for the Management Board members' variable compensation.
Since the compensation report for the 2021 fiscal year, the compensation has been reported in accordance with the new section 162 AktG introduced at the time. In order to obtain a reasonable comparison between the individual years, the information contained in Table 4.38 STarTIng on page 178 on the compensation of the members of the Management Board and the respective supervisory board in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, too, is reported in accordance with the reporting logic applied in the compensation tables in the section "Compensation tables for the current Management Board members or members in office until the end of the Fiscal Year". The amounts disclosed for previous years therefore differ in some cases from the corresponding disclosures in the Compensation Reports for fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020.
The figures set out in the compensation comparison are disclosed at current currency and in accordance with the accounting standards applied by the Company in the relevant fiscal year, while the figures relating to the Management Board members' compensation are in principle determined at constant currency.
As disclosed in the Compensation Reports for the relevant fiscal years, the figures used for determining the level of target achievement and for determining the Management Board members' compensation were and are, in some cases, adjusted for certain effects, including, without limitation, effects resulting from a change in the applicable accounting standards. For instance, the Company implemented IFRS 15 in 2018 and IFRS 16 in 2019. The initial application of each of these accounting standards has a material impact on some of the figures shown in the compensation comparison (revenue, net income, operating income, ROIC), making it more difficult to compare these figures for 2018 to those for 2019.
Consequently, there is only a limited degree of comparability between the figures relating to each fiscal year shown in Table 4.38 STarTIng on page 178 and the corresponding amounts of the Management Board members' compensation and, in particular, between these figures in terms of their respective annual change.

In accordance with the respectively applicable plan terms, an award in the meaning of this Compensation Report from the long-term variable compensation to the members of the Management Board is generally made no earlier than four (LTIP 2011, LTIP 2016 and MB LTIP 2019) or three (MB LTIP 2020, Share Based Award) years after the respective allocation. As a result, compensation awarded or due to Management Board members is usually lower in the first years of their Management Board activity than in subsequent years.
The variable compensation component previously in place for the respective supervisory boards was eliminated with effect from January 1, 2021 and, to compensate for this, the fixed compensation of the members of the respective supervisory boards was increased in view of the significant increase in the scope of monitoring and advisory activities.
Employee compensation is based on the average wages and salaries of all employees on a full-time equivalent basis at group companies worldwide in the respective fiscal year in order to enable reporting that is consistent with the corresponding figures from reports for previous years as well as the most comprehensive comparison possible over the entire comparative period.
The company intends to complete the realignment of its operating model under the FME25 program in 2023. Under the new model, the Company will operate with a significantly simplified structure of only two global segments in the future: Care Enablement and Care Delivery. The already described, associated elimination of Management Board functions with regional responsibility will have the effect that in 2023, as was the case in the Fiscal Year, the short-term incentive for the members of the Management Board in accordance with the Compensation System 2020+ will be measured exclusively on a global level and no longer also in part on a regional level.
The non-financial performance target for the short-term incentive of the members of the Management Board described in the section "Sustainability target" was initially set for the years 2020 to 2022. The supervisory board of the General Partner has therefore set a new non-financial performance target for 2023, with an unchanged weighting of 20% for the short-term incentive. Under the new sustainability target for the shortterm incentive, there are three equally weighted sustainability criteria: patient satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and the sustainability assessment of the company's products and services portfolio. The target achievement for the sustainability target will be determined on the basis of third-party assurance.
The Supervisory Board will submit a fully revised compensation system for approval at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting.
We have audited the remuneration report of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, Hof an der Saale, for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2022 including the related disclosures, which was prepared to comply with § [Article] 162 AktG [Aktiengesetz: German Stock Corporation Act].
The executive directors and the supervisory board of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA are responsible for the preparation of the remuneration report, including the related disclosures, that complies with the requirements of § 162 AktG. The executive directors and the supervisory board are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a remuneration report, including the related disclosures, that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this remuneration report, including the related disclosures, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) (IDW). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the remuneration report, including the related disclosures, is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts including the related disclosures stated in the remuneration report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment. This includes the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the remuneration report including the related disclosures, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation of the remuneration report including the related disclosures. The objective of this is to plan and perform audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the executive directors and the supervisory board, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of remu-
