According to Recommendation C.5 of the Code, Supervisory Board members being an Executive Board member of a listed company shall not hold more than two Supervisory Board mandates in non-group listed companies or similar bodies. Mrs. Titzrath, who has been appointed by the Economic Stabilization Fund according to the Framework agreement between Deutsche Lufthansa AG and the Economic Stabilization Fund currently holds a total of three such Supervisory Board mandates. Mrs. Titzrath has declared to Deutsche Lufthansa AG that she has sufficient time to perform her Supervisory Board duties and that she can perform these duties with due regularity and care.
In addition, restrictions on the implementation of the recommendations on the remuneration of the Executive Board in Section G of the Code result from the significant restrictions on Board remuneration within the framework agreement between Deutsche Lufthansa AG and the Economic Stabilization Fund.

Subject to the contractual restrictions on the compensation of the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board will review its appropriateness at regular intervals in view of its competence under stock corporation law.”
