Corporate Governance |Report of the Supervisory Board |137
Personnel changes in the Board of Management. In its mee-
ting in December, the Supervisory Board appointed Mr. Wilfried
Porth (49) as Board of Management Member for Human Resour-
ces and Labor Relations Director for a period of three years, roun-
ded up to the end of the month, i.e. until April 30, 2012. Mr. Porth
will take up his position after the Annual Meeting in 2009 and will
succeed Mr. Günther Fleig, who will be 60 years old in February
2009 and whose appointment expires at the end of the Annual
Meeting planned for April 8, 2009.
Audit of the 2008 financial statements. The Daimler AG finan-
cial statements and management report for 2008 were duly
audited by KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (formerly
KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft,
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft), Berlin, and were given an unqua-
lified audit opinion. The same applies to the consolidated finan-
cial statements prepared according to IFRS, which were supple-
mented with a group management report and additional notes.
The financial statements and the appropriation of earnings pro-
posed by the Board of Management, as well as the auditors’
reports, were submitted to the Supervisory Board for its review.
They were dealt with in detail by the Audit Committee and the
Supervisory Board and discussed in the presence of the auditors,
who reported on the results of their audit. The Supervisory
Board has approved the financial statements presented by the
Board of Management. The financial statements are thereby
adopted. Finally, the Supervisory Board has examined the
appropriation of earnings proposed by the Board of Manage-
ment and is in agreement with this proposal.
Appreciation. The Supervisory Board thanks all of the employ-
ees of the Daimler Group, the management and the departing
members of the Supervisory Board for their individual efforts and
achievements in the year 2008.
Stuttgart, February 2009
