Supervisory Board Committees

Conference Commitee
The committee required by Section 27, Paragraph 3 of the Codetermination Act consists of two shareholder representative members and two employee representative members. This committee is responsible for recommending to the Supervisory Board potential candidates for the Board of Management if the first vote does not yield the necessary two-thirds majority of votes of Supervisory Board members.

Ulrich Hartmann, Chairman
Hubertus Schmoldt, Vice Chairman
Hans Prüfer
Dr. Henning Schulte-Noelle
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee consists of the four members of the above-named committee. It prepares meetings of the Supervisory Board and advises the Board of Management on matters of general policy relating to the Company’s strategic development. In urgent cases (in other words, if waiting for the Supervisory Board’s prior approval would materially prejudice the Company), the Executive Committee acts on the full Supervisory Board’s behalf. In particular, the Executive Committee prepares the Supervisory Board’s personnel decisions and is responsible for the conclusion, alteration, and termination of the employment contracts of Board of Management members. It also deals with corporate governance matters and reports to the Supervisory Board at least once a year on the status and effectiveness of, and possible ways of improving, the Company’s corporate governance.

The Audit Committee deals primarily with issues relating to the Company’s accounting, compliance, and risk management; the legally mandated independence of the Company’s Independent Auditor; the establishment of auditing priorities; and agreements on the Independent Auditor’s fees. The Audit Committee also prepares the Supervisory Board’s decision on the approval of the Financial Statements of E.ON AG and of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
