Please refer to the documents sent to you for your Shareholder Control Number and your Personal Identification Number.

Why have I been asked to consent to electronic delivery of invitations to Shareholders' Meetings?
In order to save paper and costs, we would like to send the invitation electronically to as many shareholders as possible in future. Shareholders with an e-mail address in the share register were informed in this year's invitation to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of sending the invitation by e-mail (unless they are already registered for electronic delivery of invitation to Shareholders’ Meetings, had previously objected, or had withdrawn their consent). In future, we will only send them the invitation by e-mail if we do not receive any objections by March 13, 2026 and their consent is not revoked.
From the 2026 Shareholders' Meeting, access data will no longer be sent to shareholders by e-mail. Instead, a password must be assigned for access to the Internet Service.
We will continue to send invitation documents and access data by regular mail to shareholders without an e-mail address in the share register or who have withdrawn their consent or objected to electronic delivery.
If you have forgotten/lost your login data received by regular mail, please contact the shareholder hotline (available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CET / CEST) at +49 (0) 89/7805 1200 from abroad or toll-free at 0 800–10 10 676 within Germany or send an e-mail, stating your Shareholder Control Number, to hv-service.siemens@adeus.de.

In this case we ask you to contact our shareholder hotline (available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CET / CEST) at +49 (0) 89/7805 1200 from abroad or toll-free at 0 800–10 10 676 within Germany or send an e-mail, stating your Shareholder Control Number, to hv-service.siemens@adeus.de. We will then send you a new Personal Identification Number (PIN) by regular mail. After receiving your new Personal Identification Number (PIN), please use the Internet Service at www.siemens.com/agm-service using your new login data. You can then select your own new Access Password and store your current e-mail address.

If you are registered with your own Access Password for electronic delivery of invitations to Shareholders' Meetings, you can also have your Shareholder Control Number sent to you via e-mail. To do this, please go to the function "Forgot your Shareholder Control Number?" in the Internet Service at www.siemens.com/agm-service.

What do I do if my access to the Internet Service has been blocked?
If you are already registered for electronic delivery of invitations to Shareholders' Meetings using an Access Password selected by yourself and are blocked from accessing the Internet Service because you have entered incorrect login data on several occasions, you can get your account activated again by requesting a temporarily valid Access Password via the "Request Access Password" function in our Internet Service at www.siemens.com/agm-service.

After completing the necessary steps, you are sent a temporarily valid Access Password to the e-mail address registered for electronic delivery of invitations in the share register. After receiving the e-mail, please use the Internet Service again and enter your Shareholder Control Number and the temporarily valid Access Password provided in our e-mail.

How do I revoke my consent to electronic delivery of invitations to Shareholders’ Meetings?
Your consent to electronic delivery of invitations to Shareholders' Meetings is not limited and is thus valid until further notice. You may revoke your consent at any time. To do so, please contact one of the following addresses, providing your name, Shareholder Control Number and your address: by e-mail to hv-service.siemens@adeus.de or by regular mail to Siemens Hauptversammlung, c/o ADEUS Aktienregister-Service-GmbH, 20636 Hamburg, Germany.

You can use this until a new Personal Identification Number (PIN) is sent to you by regular mail. If the revocation does not occur until after the technical preparations for the dispatch of invitations to the upcoming Shareholders' Meeting have already begun, it will not apply until the subsequent Shareholders' Meeting. In that case, however, we will endeavor to send you the invitation to the current Shareholders’ Meeting by regular mail to the postal address listed in the share register as well.
You can change the postal address listed in the share register via the Internet Service. In that case, you should also contact your depositary bank.
What happens if invitations to Shareholders' Meetings cannot be delivered to the e-mail address registered in the share register?
