Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA - AGM 17 May 2019
Item 1: Unlike at German stock corporations, shareholders of a KGaA are legally required to vote on the annual accounts.
Item 5a: KPMG has audited the Company since the financial year 1981 which exceeds our maximum acceptable term of office. We welcome however that the Company has announced to change the audit firm as of financial year 2020, see item 5b of the agenda, and therefore exceptionally recommend to support the reappointment of KPMG.
