Management and Supervision

In compliance with the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), Wacker Chemie AG has a two-tier management system, comprising the Executive Board and Supervisory Board. The Executive Board has four members. Wacker Chemie AG is the parent company and thus determines the Group’s strategy, overall management, resource allocation, funding, and communications with key target groups (especially with the capital market and shareholders).

There were no changes to either the composition or responsibilities of the Executive Board members during 2011. A new workers’ representative took office on Wacker Chemie AG’s Supervisory Board in 2011. Uwe Fritz resigned his office as of May 31, 2011. His successor, Harald Sikorski, assumed his responsibilities as of June 1, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the middle management representative Dr. Konrad Bachhuber resigned his Supervisory Board position. Konrad Kammergruber was elected to replace him with effect from January 1, 2012.
