It is Merck KGaA’s objective to provide the latest information to all shareholders, media, financial
analysts and interested members of the public, while creating the greatest possible transparency.
For this reason, Merck uses a wide range of communication platforms to engage in a timely dia-
log with all interested parties about the situation of the company and business changes. Merck’s
principles include providing factually correct, comprehensive and fair information.
Information subject to disclosure requirements, as well as information that is not, can be accessed
worldwide on the Merck KGaA website (www.merck.de), which is the company’s most important
publication platform. Apart from a detailed financial calendar, quarterly and half-year financial
reports covering the past six years are available here in German and English. In addition, in line
with the legal requirements, ad hoc announcements are published on the website. These contain
information on circumstances that could impact the Merck share price.
Regular press conferences, investor meetings on the occasion of investor conferences as well
as roadshows offer another platform for dialog. The company presentations prepared for this
purpose are also available on the Merck KGaA website. In addition, the Investor Relations team
is always available to private and institutional investors who wish to receive further information.
To ensure the greatest possible transparency, all documents concerning the Annual General
Meeting are available on the company website. Additionally, some parts of the Annual General
Meeting are webcast live on the Internet.
In the coming year, we will continue to attach high importance to fulfilling all the relevant
standards as regards reporting to the capital market.
Dealing properly with insider information is very important to us. Our insider committee examines
the existence of insider information, ensures compliance with legal obligations, and prepares
any necessary measures. The members of the insider committee are appointed by the Executive
Board; at least two members work in Corporate Legal & Compliance. The insider committee
meets at regular intervals, yet also meets when circumstances require.
