Remuneration of the Supervisory Board
Supervisory Board remuneration in 2012. The remuneration
of the Supervisory Board is determined by the Shareholders’
Meeting of Daimler AG and is governed by the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation. The new regulations for Supervisory Board
remuneration approved by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting
in April 2011 specify that the members of the Supervisory Board
receive, in addition to the refund of their expenses and the cost
of any value-added tax incurred by them in performance of their
office, fixed remuneration of €100,000. The Chairman of the
Supervisory Board receives an additional €200,000 and the Dep-
uty Chairman of the Supervisory Board receives an additional
€100,000. The members of the Audit Committee are paid an addi-
tional €50,000, the members of the Presidential Committee
are paid an additional €40,000 and the members of the other
committees of the Supervisory Board are paid an additional
€20,000; one exception is the Chairman of the Audit Committee,
who is paid an additional €100,000. Additional payments are
made for activities in a maximum of three committees; any per-
sons who are members of more than three such committees
receive additional payments for the three most highly paid func-
tions. Members of a Supervisory Board committee are only
entitled to remuneration for such membership if the committee
has actually convened to fulfill its duties in the respective year.

meeting and committee meeting that they attend.

remuneration paid to the members of the Supervisory Board
representing the employees in accordance with their contracts
of employment.
