Declaration of compliance 2012
 

The identical declarations of the Executive Board dated February 15, 2012 and of the Supervisory Board dated February 17, 2012 in accordance with article 161, clause 1, sentence 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and the German Corporate Governance Code read as follows:

"Since issuing the latest declarations of compliance of the Executive Board (February 16, 2011) and of the Supervisory Board (March 1, 2011), KUKA Aktiengesellschaft has complied with, and continues to comply with, the recommendations of the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code as on May 26, 2010, which were published in the electronic edition of the Bundesanzeiger (German Federal Gazette) dated July 2, 2010, subject to the following exceptions:

1. KUKA Aktiengesellschaft does not follow the recommendation for the Supervisory Board outlined in section 3.8, clause 5 of the CGC. The Group D&O insurance policy does not provide for a deductible for members of the Supervisory Board. In KUKA Aktiengesellschaft's view, the deductible for Supervisory Board members is not required to ensure they properly fulfill their monitoring role.

2. Contrary to section 5.4.6, clause 4 of the CGC, the members of the Supervisory Board only receive a fixe compensation. After examining various compensation models, the Supervisory Board members unanimously agreed that only a fixed compensation model is appropriate for the Supervisory Board if it is to be ensured that it properly executes its monitoring duties and maintains the necessary independence and neutrality thereof.

KUKA Aktiengesellschaft adheres to nearly all other proposals contained in the code."

Augsburg, February 2012
