Allianz SE issues registered shares with restricted transferability. Under German stock corporation law, companies with registered shares consideronly those persons as shareholders, who are recorded in the company's share register.

To be recorded in the share register is relevant fortaking part in general meetings and making use of voting rights and it also facilitates direct communication with shareholders. This way, for instance, shareholders can be invited personally to attend general meetings.

The restriction on share transferability goes right back to the foundation of Allianz in 1890. This practice is widespread in the insurance industry in Germany. In accordance with its statutes, the company will only withhold the approval for a transfer of shares if extraordinary reasons existand if it is considered to be in the interest of the company. For several decades no such case has occurred.

With the standardization of share transfer processes, the restriction on share transferability does not cause any delay in the registration in the share register and does not impede in any way the trading of the shares on stock exchanges.

Questions regarding corporate management, control and transparency are summarized under "Corporate Governance". A company's corporate governance structure is determined by a varied regulatory framework that is shaped by statutory requirements, market self-control mechanisms and company-specific principles.

Essential elements of good Corporate Governance are:

• open and transparent communication
• absolute respect for the interests of shareholders
• efficient cooperation of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board

The German Corporate Governance Code summarizes the main statutory regulations for the management and supervision of German listed companies. Furthermore, it takes into account internationally and nationally recognized behavioral standards in the form of recommendations ("shall") and provides the companies with suggestions ("should/can") for sound and responsible corporate management and supervision.

Allianz understands responsible Corporate Governance as a central challenge and indispensable prerequisite for the creation of sustainable value for its shareholders as well as all other stakeholders. For this reason Allianzsupports the German Corporate Governance Code.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board provide an annual Declaration of Compliance regarding the Code. In terms of the principle "comply or explain" the declaration also contains possible deviations from the recommendations. This declaration is published in the Annual Report and on this website.

The Board of Management of Allianz SE currently is made up of eleven members. Chairman of the Board of Management is Oliver Bäte.

The Supervisory Board is made up of 12 members, 6 of whom have been appointed by shareholders and 6 by employees. Unlike under German law, the legal form of a SE does not require that the Supervisory Board is made up of equal numbers of employee representatives and employer representatives. However, Allianz will continue to apply the principle of equal representation under which employee representatives from various European countries are members of the Supervisory Board. Chairman of the Supervisory Board is Michael Diekmann.

In compliance with recommendations from the German Corporate Governance Code, Allianz SE (formerly Allianz AG) is publishing an individual breakdown concerning the remuneration of the members of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board since fiscal year 2004.
