Mr. John Allan was appointed to the Board of Management with the acquisition of Exel plc
on January 1, 2006, for a three-year period and will manage the Group’s expanded logistics
activities, with particular responsibility for integrating Exel.
Since the start of the year, Dr. Frank Appel has been in charge of Global Business Services,
a new division that brings together internal services throughout the Group. He is also
responsible for Global Customer Solutions.
In scal year 2005, there were no changes in the composition of the Supervisory Board.
Gerd Ehlers, Roland Oetker, Hans W. Reich and Dr. Jürgen Weber were conrmed as
members of the Supervisory Board in elections held on an individual basis at the Annual
General Meeting on May 18, 2005. ey had been appointed by a court the year before in
order to take the place of members who had retired prematurely.
Conflicts of interest dealt with
Potential isolated conicts of interest were avoided by abstentions on the part of members
in situations where such a conict might have arisen. For instance, Ms. Margrit Wendt,
a representative of ver.di, laid down her Supervisory Board mandate temporarily at the
meeting on October 24, 2005. is was purely a precautionary step taken while the Super-
visory Board was addressing the acquisition of BHW Holding AG by Postbank. A conict
of mandates was resolved with the decision by a shareholder representative, who has also
been a member of the Deutsche Bahn AG Supervisory Board since the summer, not to
seek re-election at this year’s Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Post AG. Until then,
the persons involved will decide on the most appropriate way to handle particular in-
formation in the interests of the company and depending on the subject in question (for
example, abstaining from voting or not taking part in discussions).
Company adopts all the recommendations in
the Corporate Governance Code
In accordance with the German Corporate Governance Code, in December it was
unanimously resolved to comply in scal year 2006 with all the recommendations of the
German Corporate Governance Code in the version dated June 2, 2005.
Further information about the company’s system of corporate governance, in addition to
the current Declaration of Conformity, is available in the Report by the Board of Manage-
ment and the Supervisory Board on Corporate Governance, as well as on our website.
In accordance with the recommendation in the Code, the Declarations of Conformity
from previous years can also be found there.
We would like to thank the Board of Management and all Group employees for their com-
mitment and successful eorts and their rst-rate work in scal year 2005.
