The weighting of Daimler shares in major indices decreased
during 2011 due to the negative development of our share
price. In the German DAX 30 index, our stock was ranked in
seventh position with a weighting of 5.93% at the end of
the year (end of 2010: 7.51%). 1.05 In the Dow Jones Euro
STOXX 50, Daimler shares were represented with a weighting
of 2.26% (end of 2010: 2.88%). Daimler shares are listed in
Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Stock-exchange trading in Germany
in the year 2011 amounted to 1,728 million shares (2010:
1,492 million). In addition, Daimler shares are increasingly
traded on multilateral trading platforms and in the over-thecounter
market.
Substantially increased participation in employee share
program. In March 2011, eligible members of the workforce
were once again able to acquire employee shares. A price
incentive that was granted for the first time and bonus shares
helped to increase the number of participants to 32,200
employees, who acquired a total of 610,300 shares (2010:
19,400 employees acquired 350,700 shares).
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting approves management’s
proposals with large majorities. Our Annual Shareholders’
Meeting held on April 13, 2011 at the Berlin International
Congress Center (ICC) was attended by approximately 5,100
shareholders (2010: 4,700). With 43.3% of the share capital
represented at the Annual Meeting, shareholder representation
(attendance plus absentee votes) was higher than in the
prior year (40.3%). In the voting on the items of the agenda, the
shareholders adopted the recommendations of the management
with large majorities.
The shareholders are able to exercise their voting rights
at the Annual Meeting either in person or through a proxy of
their own choice or through a proxy appointed by Daimler
who is bound by their voting instructions. For the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting in 2011, we offered the possibility
of absentee voting for the first time. All documents and information
on the Annual Meeting are available at www.daimler.
com/ir/am.
Daimler once again utilized the exhibition space at the ICC to
demonstrate to the shareholders the Group’s broad spectrum
of products and technological expertise, especially in the area
of sustainable mobility. In 2011, the 125th anniversary of
the automobile, we took the opportunity at the Annual Meeting
also to draw the visitors’ attention to some of the highlights
in the long history of our company.
