The Supervisory Board of Daimler AG submits proposals for the election of shareholder representatives to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting. The proposals are based on recommendations of the nominating committee which, in addition to meeting the requirements of the law, the Articles of Association and the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code, take into account a set of criteria including qualifications and experience that must be represented on the shareholder side of the Supervisory Board. These criteria include market knowledge in the regions most important for Daimler AG, expertise in the management of technology and experience in certain managerial functions. Prior to submitting a candidate recommendation to the Supervisory Board, the nominating committee defines the requirements for the specific position to be filled. The nominating committee of Daimler AG consists of three members representing the shareholders on the Supervisory Board. The members were elected by the shareholders on the Supervisory Board and are characterized by their many years of service and experience in various committees of companies doing business internationally. In addition to the knowledge, capabilities and technical experience required for this, the targets set forth by the Supervisory Board for its composition in accordance with the German Corporate Governance Code should be observed. Depending on the specific situation of the Company, these targets take into account the international activities of the Company, potential conflicts of interest, the number of independent Supervisory Board members, the age limit and diversity defined and, in particular, stipulate an appropriate participation of women.
