REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD
The Annual General Meeting elected the following shareholder representatives to the
Supervisory Board: Johannes Baillou, Frank Binder, Prof. Dr. Rolf Krebs, Dr. Arend Oet-
ker, Prof. Dr. Theo Siegert and Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Simson. The holder of the registered
share appointed Michaela Freifrau von Glenck and Albrecht Merck to the Supervisory
Board. Jon Baumhauer, the former member representing the holder of the registered
share on the Supervisory Board, no longer stood for re-election. It was not possible to
hold an election of the employee representatives on the Supervisory Board in accor-
dance with the applicable rules within the time period available. A procedure for the
court appointment of the employee representatives was therefore initiated. Darmstadt
District Court appointed Heiner Wilhelm, Claudia Flauaus and Michael Fletterich as the
employee representatives, Dr. Daniele Bruns as the senior executive representative and
Mr. Osman Ulusoy as the union representative. The District Court appointed Edeltraud
Glänzer as the second union representative in place of Klaus Brauer, who was no longer
available. Judith Delp and Frieder Kaufmann were appointed as additional members of
the Supervisory Board. The election of the employee representatives is expected to be
completed in the course of 2009.
The General Partner E. Merck KG, the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board
thanked Messrs. Baumhauer and Brauer, who each served as members of the Super-
visory Board for over a decade, for their critical and constructive as well as objective
work in advising and supervising the Executive Board of Merck KGaA.
