The Selection and Appointment Committee held one<br />

regular meeting during the year 2010, in addition to various<br />

informal meetings between the committee members and<br />

contacts with the Chairman of the Management Board and<br />

other members of the Supervisory Board, and reported its<br />

findings to the Supervisory Board. Particular attention was<br />

paid in 2010 to review of succession planning, potential<br />

conflicts of interests and the performance by Management<br />

Board members given the challenging times.<br />

Remuneration Committee<br />

Composition: Messrs. J. Messman (Chairman) and<br />

P.P. Kuczynski<br />

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for establishing<br />

and reviewing material aspects of the Company’s<br />

policy on compensation of members of the Management<br />

Board and preparing decisions for the Supervisory Board<br />

in relation thereto. This responsibility includes, but is not<br />

limited to, the preparation and ongoing review of: (i) the<br />

remuneration policy as adopted by the General Meeting of<br />

Shareholders; and (ii) proposals concerning the individual<br />

remuneration of the members of the Management<br />

Board to be determined by the Supervisory Board. The<br />

Remuneration Committee held two regular meetings in<br />

2010, in addition to various informal discussions among<br />

its members. Topics of discussion at the meetings<br />

included: (i) implementation of the remuneration policy<br />

of the Company, including policies with respect to the<br />

compensation of the Management Board; (ii) review of<br />

the base salary for members of the Management Board;<br />

(iii) annual bonuses for members of the Management<br />

Board. In performing its duties and responsibilities the<br />

Remuneration Committee was assisted by external<br />

remuneration experts.<br />

Remuneration Policy for the Management Board, since<br />

this was approved and adopted by the General Meeting<br />

of Shareholders in May 2009 (“the Remuneration Policy”).<br />

The Remuneration Policy is posted on the Company’s<br />

website under the heading Corporate Governance. This<br />

Remuneration Report contains the following two sections:<br />

• Report on Remuneration of the Management<br />

Board in 2010<br />

• Remuneration of the Management Board in 2011<br />

Report on Remuneration of the<br />

Management Board in 2010<br />

The remuneration of AMG’s Management Board for 2010<br />

was based on the Remuneration Policy of the Company.<br />

The Remuneration Policy was developed with a group of<br />

peer companies drawn from the Hay Group Industrial<br />

Market Database. This peer group is an important<br />

yardstick for the Supervisory Board in determining<br />

performance by the Company and setting compensation<br />

for the Company’s Management Board. In addition, it is<br />

noted that pursuant to the Remuneration Policy, it has<br />

been accepted that the Remuneration Committee would<br />

honor existing contractual agreements of the current<br />

Management Board members and therefore would<br />

continue to accept the dual employment contract system<br />

as basis for the remuneration of the Management Board<br />

members. The main terms and conditions of the employment<br />

contracts of the Management Board members are<br />

published on the Company’s website under the heading<br />

Corporate Governance.<br />

In establishing the 2010 remuneration, the Supervisory<br />

Board has considered multiple scenarios on how the<br />

remuneration components would be affected given different<br />

sets of circumstances. Where in 2009, due to the very<br />

difficult economic environment facing the Company, all of<br />

the Management Board members had agreed to reduce<br />

their Base Salary for 2009 in return for stock options, this<br />

appeared not necessary in 2010.<br />
