statements. Having concluded its review, the Supervisory Board did not have any objections to<br />
the annual financial statements or the consolidated financial statements. In a telephone conference<br />
May 30, 2011 the Supervisory Board expressly approved the annual financial statements<br />
and management report, which was combined with the group management report, for fiscal year<br />
2010, as prepared by the Managing Board. The annual financial statements are thus adopted. The<br />
Supervisory Board also approved the IFRS consolidated financial statements and Group management<br />
report as prepared by the Managing Board for fiscal year 2010.<br />
DEPENDENT COMPANY REPORT<br />
The Managing Board has submitted its report on the company’s relationships with affiliated companies<br />
to the Supervisory Board together with the corresponding report prepared by the auditors.<br />
The auditor issued the following unqualified opinion:<br />
“Based on our audit and assessment in accordance with professional standards, we confirm that<br />
1. The factual statements made in this report are correct,<br />
2. The payments made by the company in connection with the legal transactions described in<br />
this report were not unreasonably high.”<br />
The auditor participated in the Supervisory Board’s discussion of the report on relationships with<br />
affiliated companies and presented the key results of the audit.<br />
The Supervisory Board’s review of the report by the Managing Board and the audit report did not<br />
give any grounds for objection; the Supervisory Board concurred with the results of the audit. The<br />
Supervisory Board did not raise any objections to the Managing Board’s declaration at the end of<br />
the report on <strong>ALNO</strong> AG’s relationships with affiliated companies according to the final results of its<br />
review.<br />
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />
The Supervisory Board also discussed the further developments in corporate governance in fiscal<br />
year 2010, paying particular attention to the changes made to the Corporate Governance Code<br />
in the amendment of May 26, 2010. In application of the new requirements on Managing Board<br />
member’s fees and the relevant recommendations in the Code, the Supervisory Board deliberated<br />
on the remuneration system for the Managing Board and reviewed whether Board emoluments were<br />
reasonable. No Managing Board members were present during these discussions. Furthermore, the<br />
Supervisory Board determined that, in its opinion, it had a sufficient number of independent members,<br />
as well as one independent member with professional knowledge of accounting and auditing.
