<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under German law, a corporation may indemnify its officers, and, under certain circumstances,
German labor law requires a stock corporation to do so. However, a corporation may not, as a
general matter, indemnify members of the management or supervisory board. A German stock
corporation may, however, purchase directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance. The insurance may be
subject to any mandatory restrictions imposed by German law. In addition, German law may permit a
corporation to indemnify a member of the management board or supervisory board for attorneys&#146; fees
incurred if such member is the successful party in a suit in a country, like the United States,
where winning parties are required to bear their own costs, if German law would have required the
losing party to pay the member&#146;s attorneys&#146; fees had the suit been brought in Germany.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant provides a group insurance policy for directors and officers of the Registrant
and its subsidiaries that is taken out for one year and renewed annually. The insurance covers the
personal liability of each insured in the case of a financial loss associated with employment
functions. In such a case, the Registrant may, with effect from October&nbsp;1, 2005, hold members of
the Managing Board of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft liable for such loss up to an amount equivalent to
20&nbsp;percent of their respective fixed salaries. In the same way, each member of the Supervisory
Board of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft has individually agreed to be held liable up to an amount
equivalent to 20&nbsp;percent of their fixed compensation component (i.e., a deductible within the
meaning of Section&nbsp;3.8, paragraph 2, of the German Corporate Governance Code).

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the Commission are incorporated by reference, to the extent
not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished:
(a) our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, filed with the
Commission on December 2, 2008 (the "2008 Form 20-F") pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
Our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and for each
of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2008, and management's assessment
of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008,
appearing in our 2008 Form 20-F have been incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, an
independent registered public accounting firm ("KPMG"), appearing in our 2008 Form 20-F, and
upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
(b) The description of the Ordinary Shares contained under the heading "Item 10:
Additional Information — Capital Stock" in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form
20-F/A, filed with the Commission on March 14, 2001, and in "Item 10: Additional
Information — Rights, Preferences and Restrictions Attaching to Our Shares" in the 2008
Form 20-F.
(c) All other reports filed by us pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act since the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
All documents subsequently filed by us (with respect to any Form 6-K, only to the
extent designated therein) pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or that deregisters all
securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
To the extent that, in subsequent Forms 20-F, KPMG audits and reports on our
consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting issued at future dates, and consents to the use of its report thereon, the audited
consolidated financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting appearing in such Form 20-F will be incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement in reliance upon its report and said authority.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other
subsequently filed document that also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute part of this Registration
Statement.

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the Ordinary Shares to be issued under the Plan will be passed upon for us by
Solms U. Wittig, General Counsel Corporate and Finance. Mr. Wittig is a full time employee of the
Registrant and may be eligible to participate in the Plan and receive Ordinary Shares thereunder.
Mr. Wittig currently beneficially owns less than 0.001% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under German law, a corporation may indemnify its officers, and, under certain circumstances,
German labor law requires a stock corporation to do so. However, a corporation may not, as a
general matter, indemnify members of the management or supervisory board. A German stock
corporation may, however, purchase directors' and officers' insurance. The insurance may be
subject to any mandatory restrictions imposed by German law. In addition, German law may permit a
corporation to indemnify a member of the management board or supervisory board for attorneys' fees
incurred if such member is the successful party in a suit in a country, like the United States,
where winning parties are required to bear their own costs, if German law would have required the
losing party to pay the member's attorneys' fees had the suit been brought in Germany.
The Registrant provides a group insurance policy for directors and officers of the Registrant
and its subsidiaries that is taken out for one year and renewed annually. The insurance covers the
personal liability of each insured in the case of a financial loss associated with employment

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
