Etude de l'AG du 10/05/2017

Item 5: KPMG, Berlin, is proposed as auditor for the current financial year. We have no concerns over the ratio of non-audit/audit fees. However, we note that KPMG has audited the Company since the financial year 2002 which exceeds our maximum acceptable term of office of 10 years or 20 years in case an audit tender has taken place after the initial engagement period, which has not been disclosed by the Company. We consider a longer term of office may impair the auditor's independence. We therefore recommend opposing the re-election of KPMG as auditor.​
