The Supervisory Board is supported in its duties by four committees established by this body. These committees are responsible for preparing the ground for Supervisory Board resolutions and examining issues subsequently to be addressed in plenary sessions. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has delegated decision-making authority to the committees within specific areas.

With the exception of the Audit Committee, which is chaired by Supervisory Board member Hero Brahms, the committees are presided over by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

The Audit Committee convened on three occasions during the fiscal year under review. The main focus of its work was on examining the annual accounts and Group financial statements of Wincor Nixdorf AG and the budget for fiscal 2008/2009. Other issues addressed were the Company’s risk report and risk management policy, as well as measures aimed at further extending the corporate compliance program.

At its meeting on November 27, 2007, the Personnel Committee authorized the issue of stock options to members of the Board of Directors.

During the year under review, the Nomination Committee, which was created at the end of fiscal 2006/2007, convened on July 21 and September 23, 2008, to prepare a list of successors for the proposal of the Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting in relation to the forthcoming Supervisory Board elections, since the periods of office of three shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board will end at the Annual General Meeting in January 2009.

There was again no need to convene the Mediation Committee during the fiscal year just ended. There are no further committees.
