Siemens
Dividend announcement
(English translation of publication in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)

ISIN DE0007236101
The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of Siemens AG on January 26, 2006 resolved that the unappropriated net income of 1,202,965,372.35 for fiscal year 2004/2005 be used to pay a dividend of 1.35 on each no-par value share entitled to receive a dividend and that the amount attributable to the shares of stock of Siemens AG held in treasury by the Company at the date of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting be carried forward.
For German shareholders, this dividend is subject to the so-called “Halbeinkünfteverfahren”, as implemented by the “Gesetz zur Senkung der Steuersätze und zur Reform der Unternehmensbesteuerung”, dated October 23, 2000.
The dividend is payable on January 27, 2006, after deduction of 20% withholding tax and a 5.5% solidarity surcharge on the withholding tax (totalling 21.1%).
Payment of the dividend will be effected by your depository bank via Clearstream Banking AG.
To claim a refund of the deducted withholding tax, including the solidarity surcharge, domestic shareholders must timely submit a non-taxation attestation (“Nichtveranlagungsbescheinigung”) or a sufficient non-deduction application (“Freistellungsauftrag”) with their depositary bank.
