6. Resolution on the amendment of section 2 (1) lit. a) of the Articles of the Company (Objects of the business)

The further expansion of the medical services offered by the Company is an important element of Fresenius Medical Care’s strategy to be able to provide an even better and more comprehensive care to patients worldwide in the future. For this purpose, services already offered shall be expanded and improved for the benefit of these patients on the one hand, while on the other hand the range of services provided by the Company shall be broadened by strategically reasonable new service offers. The Company aims for even better patient care through a more integrated and coordinated approach to the necessary steps in the treatment of patients. In the view of the Management Board of the General Partner, this area of so-called care coordination offers substantial growth opportunities for Fresenius Medical Care and is therefore of great strategic significance for the Company and its shareholders.

In order to ensure that the bandwidth and the strategic development of the areas of activities of the Company continues to be covered in every respect by the objects of business as set forth in section 2 (1) of the Articles of the Company, the General Partner and the Supervisory Board propose to achieve a greater degree of flexibility by amending the objects of the business. The amendment of the Articles of the Company as proposed hereunder ensures that the Management Board of the General Partner, implementing its strategy, will continue to be able to seize corporate opportunities on the basis of the objects of business as set forth in the Articles of the Company.

Therefore, the General Partner and the Supervisory Board propose to resolve as follows:

Section 2 (1) lit. a) of the Articles of the Company is amended as follows:

“a) the development, production and distribution of, as well as the trading in, products, systems and procedures in the areas of medical care and health care, including dialysis and associated forms of treatment, as well as the provision of any services in such areas;”

Apart from this amendment, section 2 (1) of the Articles of the Company shall remain unchanged.

7. Resolution on the cancellation of the existing authorized capitals, on the creation of new authorized capitals including the possibility of the exclusion of subscription rights as well as on corresponding amendments to section 4 (3) and (4) of the Articles of the Company

The Articles authorize the General Partner in section 4 (3) to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to EUR 35,000,000.00 by issuing new bearer ordinary shares for cash on one or more occasions (Authorized Capital 2010/I). Also, the Articles authorize the General Partner in section 4 (4) to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to EUR 25,000,000.00 by issuing new bearer ordinary shares for cash and/or contributions in kind on one or more occasions (Authorized Capital 2010/II). These authorizations each expire on May 10, 2015. The creation of new authorized capitals is proposed hereinafter in order to continue to enable the Company to increase the share capital in a flexible manner and without further resolution of the General Meeting. The amounts of these new authorized capitals shall be identical to those which expire on May 10, 2015.

The General Partner and the Supervisory Board propose to resolve as follows:

a) By cancelling section 4 (3) of the Articles, the Authorized Capital 2010/I in section 4 (3) of the Articles is cancelled effective as of the point in time in which the new Authorized Capital 2015/I, to be resolved on according to the following section b), is entered into the commercial register.

b) The General Partner shall be authorized until May 18, 2020 to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to a total of EUR 35,000,000.00 (in words: thirty-five million Euros) for cash by issuing new bearer ordinary shares on one or more occasions (Authorized Capital 2015/I). The number of shares must be increased in the same proportion as the share capital. In principle, the shareholders have subscription rights. The new shares can also

be obtained by a credit institution or a company operating in accordance with section 53 (1) sentence 1 or section 53b (1) sentence 1 or (7) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz — KWG) (financial institution) or a consortium of such credit institutions and/or financial institutions retained by the General Partner with the obligation to offer the shares to the Company’s shareholders for subscription.

However, the General Partner shall be authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to exclude the shareholders’ subscription rights in order to eliminate fractional amounts from the subscription right.

The General Partner may only exercise the aforementioned authorization to exclude subscription rights to the extent that the proportional amount of the total shares issued subject to an exclusion of subscription rights exceeds 20% of the share capital neither at the time of this authorization coming into effect nor at the time of the exercise of this authorization. If, during the period of validity of the Authorized Capital 2015/I until its utilization, other authorizations on the issuance or on the sale of shares of the Company or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of the Company are exercised and the subscription rights are excluded, such subscription rights will be taken into account with regard to the aforementioned 20% limit.

The General Partner shall also be authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to determine the further details for the implementation of capital increases from the Authorized Capital 2015/I. Following a total or partial implementation of the increase of the share capital from the Authorized Capital 2015/I, the Supervisory Board shall be authorized to amend the wording of the corresponding provisions of the Articles with respect to the volume of such capital increase.

Article 4 (3) of the Articles is revised as follows:

“The General Partner is authorized until May 18, 2020 to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to a total of EUR 35,000,000.00 (in words: thirty-five million Euros) for cash by issuing new bearer ordinary shares on one or more occasions (Authorized Capital 2015/I). The number of shares must be increased in the same proportion as the share capital. In principle, the shareholders have subscription rights. The new shares can also be obtained by a credit institution or a company operating in accordance with section 53 (1) sentence 1 or section 53b (1) sentence 1 or (7) KWG (financial institution) or a consortium of such credit institutions and/or financial institutions retained by the General Partner with the obligation to offer the shares to the Company’s shareholders for subscription.

However, the General Partner is authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to exclude the shareholders’ subscription rights in order to eliminate fractional amounts from the subscription right.

The General Partner is also authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to determine the further details for the implementation of capital increases from the Authorized Capital 2015/I. Following a total or partial implementation of the increase of the share capital from the Authorized Capital 2015/I, the Supervisory Board is authorized to amend the wording of the corresponding provisions of the Articles with respect to the volume of such capital increase.”

c) By cancelling section 4 (4) of the Articles, the Authorized Capital 2010/II in section 4 (4) of the Articles is cancelled effective as of the point in time in which the new Authorized Capital 2015/II, to be resolved on according to the following section d), is entered into the commercial register.

d) The General Partner shall be authorized until May 18, 2020 to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to a total of EUR 25,000,000.00 (in words: twenty-five million Euros) for cash and/or contributions in kind by issuing new bearer ordinary shares on one or more occasions (Authorized Capital 2015/II). The number of shares must be increased in the same proportion as the share capital. In principle, the shareholders have subscription rights. The new shares can also be obtained by a credit institution or a company operating in accordance with section 53 (1) sentence 1 or section 53b (1) sentence 1 or (7) KWG (financial institution) or a consortium of such credit institutions and/or financial institutions retained by the General Partner with the obligation to offer the shares to the Company’s shareholders for subscription.

However, the General Partner shall be authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to exclude subscription rights of shareholders in the following cases:

· in the case of one or more capital increases for contributions in kind for the purpose of acquiring companies, parts of companies, interests in companies or other assets, or

Company which are issued or sold during the period of validity of this authorization with exclusion of subscription rights in direct, analogous or corresponding application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG and the proportionate amount of the share capital attributable to shares issued or to be issued to satisfy option or conversion rights or discharge option or conversion obligations from bonds, if the bonds are issued during the period of validity of this authorization with exclusion of subscription rights in analogous application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG.

The General Partner may only exercise the aforementioned authorizations to exclude subscription rights to the extent that the proportional amount of the total shares issued subject to an exclusion of subscription rights exceeds 20% of the share capital neither at the time of these authorizations coming into effect nor at the time of the exercise of these authorizations. If, during the period of validity of the Authorized Capital 2015/II until its utilization, other authorizations on the issuance or on the sale of shares of the Company or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of the Company are exercised and the subscription rights are excluded, such subscription rights will be taken into account with regard to the aforementioned 20% limit.

The General Partner shall also be authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to determine the further details for the implementation of capital increases from the Authorized Capital 2015/II. Following a total or partial implementation of the increase of the share capital from the Authorized Capital 2015/II, the Supervisory Board shall be authorized to amend the wording of the corresponding provisions of the Articles with respect to the volume of such capital increase.

Article 4 (4) of the Articles is revised as follows:

“The General Partner is authorized until May 18, 2020 to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to a total of EUR 25,000,000.00 (in words: twenty-five million Euros) for cash and/or contributions in kind by issuing new bearer ordinary shares on one or more occasions (Authorized Capital 2015/II). The number of shares must be increased in the same

proportion as the share capital. In principle, the shareholders have subscription rights. The new shares can also be obtained by a credit institution or a company operating in accordance with section 53 (1) sentence 1 or section 53b (1) sentence 1 or (7) KWG (financial institution) or a consortium of such credit institutions and/or financial institutions retained by the General Partner with the obligation to offer the shares to the Company’s shareholders for subscription.

However, the General Partner is authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to exclude subscription rights of shareholders in the following cases:

· in the case of one or more capital increases for contributions in kind for the purpose of acquiring companies, parts of companies, interests in companies or other assets, or

· in the case of one or more capital increases for cash if the issue price for the shares does not significantly fall below the stock exchange price of the shares already listed and the proportionate amount of the share capital of the Company attributable to the shares issued with exclusion of subscription rights exceeds 10% of the share capital neither at the time of this authorization coming into effect nor at the time of the use of the authorization. To be set-off against this limitation is the proportionate amount of share capital attributable to new shares or treasury shares previously acquired by the Company which are issued or sold during the period of validity of this authorization with exclusion of subscription rights in direct, analogous or corresponding application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG and the proportionate amount of the share capital attributable to shares issued or to be issued to satisfy option or conversion rights or discharge option or conversion obligations from bonds, if the bonds are issued during the period of validity of this authorization with exclusion of subscription rights in analogous application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG.

share capital neither at the time of these authorizations coming into effect nor at the time of the exercise of these authorizations. If, during the period of validity of the Authorized Capital 2015/II until its utilization, other authorizations on the issuance or on the sale of shares of the Company or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of the Company are exercised and the subscription rights are excluded, such subscription rights will be taken into account with regard to the aforementioned 20% limit.

The General Partner is also authorized with the approval of the Supervisory Board to determine the further details for the implementation of capital increases from the Authorized Capital 2015/II. Following a total or partial implementation of the increase of the share capital from the Authorized Capital 2015/II, the Supervisory Board is authorized to amend the wording of the corresponding provisions of the Articles with respect to the volume of such capital increase.”

Pursuant to section 278 (3) AktG in connection with sections 203 (2) sentence 2, 186 (4) sentence 2 AktG, the General Partner has submitted a written report on the reasons for the exclusion of subscription rights in certain cases according to the paragraphs b) and d) above. The contents of this report are part of this notice on the convening of the ordinary General Meeting and are published under Section II. below. The report will also be available on the Company’s website under http://www.freseniusmedicalcare.com/en/home/investors/annual-general-meeting from the time of the convening of the ordinary General Meeting and will also be available for inspection during the ordinary General Meeting.

8. Resolution on the cancellation of section 8 (1) sentence 3 of the Articles of the Company (majority required for the election of the members of the Supervisory Board of the Company)

Pursuant to section 8 (1) sentence 3 of the Articles of the Company, the resolution of the General Meeting on the election of the members of the Supervisory Board of the Company can only be taken with a majority of a minimum of 75 per cent of the votes cast.

By requiring such majority, the Articles deviate from the general concept of the Stock Corporation Act according to which the election of members of the Supervisory Board in principle only requires the simple majority of votes cast in the General Meeting. Section 8 (1) sentence 3 of the Articles so far makes use of the option granted by the Stock Corporation Act to demand stricter majority requirements for such elections. The General Partner and the Supervisory Board hold the view that this deviation from the general rule of the law is not appropriate any more and also no longer reflects a modern corporate governance. This view is supported by the nearly unanimous practice of other major listed stock companies. In order to adapt a modern and more flexible approach with regard to the provisions of the Articles on the election of members of the Supervisory Board and in line with established standards of relevant listed stock companies in Germany, the future election of members of the Supervisory Board of the Company shall therefore require a simple majority of the votes cast and therefore correspond to the general concept of the law. This would be achieved by the proposed cancellation of section 8 (1) sentence 3 of the Articles. With effectiveness of this cancellation upon registration of the amendment of the Articles in the commercial register, the simple majority of the votes cast in the General Meeting would suffice for the future election of members of the Supervisory Board.

Therefore, the General Partner and the Supervisory Board propose to resolve as follows:

Section 8 (1) sentence 3 of the Articles of the Company is cancelled without replacement. Apart from this adjustment, section 8 (1) of the Articles of the Company shall remain unchanged.

II. Report of the General Partner on agenda item 7

Pursuant to section 278 (3) AktG in connection with sections 203 (2), 186 (4) sentence 2 AktG, the General Partner hereinafter reports on the reasons for which it shall be authorized in certain cases to exclude the shareholders’ subscription rights when making use of the authorized capitals proposed for resolution under agenda item 7:

In section 4 (3) and in section 4 (4) the Articles currently authorize the General Partner to increase the Company’s share capital with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to EUR 35,000,000.00 by issuing new bearer ordinary shares for cash (Authorized Capital 2010/I) and up to EUR 25,000,000.00 by issuing new bearer ordinary shares for cash and/or contributions in kind (Authorized Capital 2010/II). These authorizations each expire on May 10, 2015. To ensure that the Company will be able to satisfy future financial requirements arising in connection with the implementation of strategic decisions in a quick and adequately flexible manner and with the approval of the Supervisory Board, i.e. without a time-consuming new resolution in a General Meeting, new authorized capitals are proposed under agenda item 7. The amounts of these new authorized capitals shall be identical to those existing capitals which expire on May 10, 2015.

In total, new authorized capitals of up to EUR 60,000,000.00 shall be created. The Authorized Capital 2015/I shall authorize the General Partner until May 18, 2020 to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to a total of EUR 35,000,000.00 for cash by issuing new bearer ordinary shares on one or more occasions. The Authorized Capital 2015/II shall authorize the General Partner until May 18, 2020 to increase the share capital of the Company with the approval of the Supervisory Board by up to a total of EUR 25,000,000.00 for cash and/or contributions in kind by issuing new bearer ordinary shares on one or more occasions.

If the General Partner exercises the authorizations proposed for resolution under agenda item 7 b) and d) during their term, the shareholders have, in principle, subscription rights. In the following cases, however, the General Partner shall be authorized pursuant to these authorizations to exclude the subscription rights with the approval of the Supervisory Board:

A. Under the Authorized Capital 2015/I as proposed for resolution under agenda item 7 b), the General Partner shall be authorized to exclude with the approval of the Supervisory Board fractional amounts from the shareholders’ subscription rights. Fractional amounts can follow from the issuing volume and the determination of a practicable subscription ratio. The exclusion of subscription rights for fractional amounts under the Authorized Capital 2015/I enables the utilization of the proposed authorization in round amounts while maintaining an even subscription rights ratio. This facilitates the processing of the subscription rights. The exclusion therefore enhances practicability and facilitates the processing of the issuing of shares. Also, the value of fractional amounts per shareholder is usually small. In contrast, the effort necessary for the issuance of shares without excluding subscription rights for fractional amounts is significantly higher. The shares excluded from shareholders’ subscription rights as free fractional amounts will be utilized in the best possible way for the Company, either by disposal on the stock exchange or in another way. Since the exclusion of subscription rights under the authorization proposed for resolution under agenda item 7 b) is restricted to fractional amounts, a potential disadvantageous dilutive effect for shareholders resulting from an exclusion of subscription rights is small. The Management Board of the General Partner therefore considers the exclusion of subscription rights under the Authorized Capital 2015/I to the extent described necessary, appropriate, adequate and, weighting the interests of the Company against the interests of shareholders, materially justified.

The General Partner may only exercise the aforementioned authorizations to exclude subscription rights with regard to the Authorized Capital 2015/I to the extent that the proportional amount of the total shares issued under exclusion of subscription rights exceeds 20% of the share capital neither at the time of this authorization coming into effect nor at the time of the exercise of this authorization. If, during the period of validity of the Authorized Capital 2015/I until its utilization, other authorizations on the issue or on the sale of shares of the Company or the issue of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of the Company are exercised and the subscription rights are excluded, such subscription rights will be taken into account with regard to the aforementioned 20% limit.

B. With regard to the Authorized Capital 2015/II as proposed for resolution under agenda item 7 d), the General Partner shall on the one hand be authorized to exclude the shareholders’ subscription rights with the approval of the Supervisory Board in the case of capital increases for contributions in kind. This authorization to exclude subscription rights shall allow for the acquisition of companies, parts of companies, interests in companies or other assets in return for granting the Company’s shares. To remain competitive especially in an international perspective, the Company must in the interest of its shareholders at any time be in a position to act quickly and flexibly on the international markets. In particular, this includes the option to acquire companies, parts of companies, interests in companies or other assets to improve the Company’s position. It can be of great interest to sellers of attractive targets to (also) be able to acquire shares of the acquiring company instead of cash. At the same time, the acquisition of such targets against the Company’s shares preserves the Company’s funds without affecting the Company’s debt/equity ratio. Therefore, the Company shall also be enabled to grant shares as consideration in kind since the aforementioned acquisition opportunities usually only exist for a short time and for this reason the necessary issuance of new shares cannot be resolved upon by a General Meeting that would need to be convened first to be able to conduct an ordinary capital increase. Corresponding to the existing Authorized Capital 2010/II, the proposed authorization to exclude subscription rights preserves the necessary flexibility for the Company to quickly and flexibly avail itself of opportunities to acquire companies, parts of companies, interests in companies and other assets. The exclusion of subscription rights leads to a relative reduction of the proportionate interest ratio as well as the proportionate voting ratio for existing shareholders. Should, however, subscription rights be granted, the acquisition of companies, parts of companies, interests in companies or other assets in return for shares would not be possible and the advantages for the Company and the shareholders as described above would therefore not be achievable. The financial interests of the Company’s shareholders in the case of capital increases against contributions in kind are, however, protected by the General Partner’s legal obligation to issue the new shares at an issue price that is adequate to the proportionate value of the contribution in kind.

On the other hand, the management shall in the case of capital increases for cash from the Authorized Capital 2015/II be authorized to exclude subscription rights pursuant to section 278 (3) AktG in connection with sections 203 (1) sentence 1, 203 (2), 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG if the new shares are issued at a price which does not fall significantly below the stock exchange price of shares of the Company already issued at the time of the final determination of the issue price and the proportionate amount attributable in total to the issued shares exceeds 10% of the share capital existing on the first exercise of the authorization neither at the time of the coming into effect nor at the time of the first exercise of the authorization. The possibility to exclude subscription rights in analogous application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG enables the Company to use favorable stock exchange conditions effectively and close to the current stock exchange price at the relevant time and to achieve the highest issue price possible and a substantial strengthening of the equity funds by fixing the issue price close to the market. The authorization therefore allows the Company to cover any capital requirements even at short notice and to use the corresponding stock exchange price of the Company’s shares to strengthen its equity funds. By avoiding a time-consuming and expensive processing of subscription rights, the equity capital requirements can be covered within a very short time from short-term market opportunities and additional new shareholder groups can be acquired at home and abroad. The flexibility inherent in the exclusion of subscription rights is an important instrument for the Company to be able to use the opportunities offered in rapidly changing markets. The issue price for the new shares must be geared to the stock exchange price of the shares already listed and may not differ significantly from the respective current stock exchange price in each case and, in particular, will not fall significantly below it. This ensures that the compensation received for new shares is always adequate to the market, which is in the interest of both the Company and all its shareholders.

The use of Authorized Capital 2015/II with the exclusion of subscription rights results in a reduction of the proportionate interest ratio as well as the proportionate voting ratio of existing shareholders. As far as the new shares are issued for cash, this dilution will — in conformity with the statutory rationale in section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG — be adequately limited by the fact that the proportionate amount

of share capital attributable to shares issued for cash with exclusion of subscription rights from the Authorized Capital 2015/II must not exceed 10% of the share capital in total. Also to be set-off against this limitation is the proportionate amount of share capital attributable to new shares or treasury shares previously acquired by the Company which are issued or sold during the period of validity of this authorization with exclusion of subscription rights in direct, analogous or corresponding application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG and the proportionate amount of the share capital attributable to shares issued or to be issued to satisfy option or conversion rights or discharge option or conversion obligations from bonds, if the bonds are issued during the period of validity of this authorization with exclusion of subscription rights in analogous application of section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG. This ensures that the upper limit of 10% mentioned above will not be not exceeded and the financial and voting right interests of the shareholders will be reasonably preserved when exercising the Authorized Capital 2015/II with the exclusion of subscription rights. In the case of the use of Authorized Capital 2015/II with the exclusion of subscription rights according to section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG, shareholders interested in fully maintaining their proportionate interest can always make use of the option to acquire shares of the Company via stock exchanges and therefore at market conditions.

The General Partner may only exercise the aforementioned authorizations to exclude subscription rights with regard to the Authorized Capital 2015/II to the extent that the proportional amount of the total shares issued under exclusion of subscription rights exceeds 20% of the share capital neither at the time of these authorizations coming into effect nor at the time of the exercise of these authorizations. If, during the period of validity of the Authorized Capital 2015/II until its utilization, other authorizations on the issue or on the sale of shares of the Company or the issue of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of the Company are exercised and the subscription rights are excluded, such subscription rights will be taken into account with regard to the aforementioned 20% limit.

Duly taking all circumstances stated herein into account, the Management Board of the General Partner considers the exclusion of subscription rights under the Authorized Capital 2015/II appropriate, necessary, adequate as well as materially

justified weighting to the interests of the Company and the interests of shareholders for the stated reasons and in consideration of the potential dilutive effect to the disadvantage of the shareholders.

Currently, there are no specific plans for the utilization of the Authorized Capital 2015/I and the Authorized Capital 2015/II. The Management Board of the General Partner will in each case carefully assess whether it should exercise the authorizations to use the authorized capitals and, where necessary, the exclusion of subscription rights. It will only do so if it is in the well-understood interests of the Company and all its shareholders and is reasonable and adequate.

The Management Board of the General Partner will report on every use of the authorizations granted under agenda item 7 b) and d) at the respective following General Meeting.

III. Further information regarding the convening of the Annual General Meeting

Total number of shares and voting rights

At the time of the convening of the ordinary General Meeting, the share capital of the Company is composed of 311,438,192 non-par value shares and consists solely of bearer ordinary shares. At the time of the convening of the ordinary General Meeting, the Company holds a total of 7,548,951 treasury shares which do not entitle the Company to any rights. Therefore, the total number of shares carrying participation and voting rights at the time of the convening of the ordinary General Meeting amounts to 303,889,241 shares.

Participation in the General Meeting and exercise of the voting rights

Only those shareholders who have registered with the Company in text form in the German or the English language by the end of May 12, 2015 (24:00 hours Central European Summer Time — CEST), at the latest at the following address

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA

Germany

Telefax: +49 (0)89 30903-74675

E-Mail: anmeldestelle@computershare.de

and who have provided the Company with evidence of their entitlement to attend the General Meeting are entitled to participate and vote in the ordinary General Meeting. As evidence of their entitlement to attend the General Meeting and to exercise their voting right, shareholders must, by the end of May 12, 2015 (24:00 hours CEST), at the latest, provide evidence of their shareholding issued by their depositary bank in text form in the German or the English language to the aforementioned address referring to the beginning of April 28, 2015, (00:00 hours CEST) (“Evidence Date”).

Significance of the Evidence Date

As regards the participation in the General Meeting and the exercise of the voting right only such persons qualify as shareholders of the Company who have provided evidence of their shareholding. The right of participation and the extent of the voting rights are solely determined by the shareholding on the Evidence Date. The Evidence Date is not accompanied by a lock on the sale of shares. Even in case of a complete or partial sale of the shareholding after the Evidence Date, this has no effect on the entitlement to participate and on the voting right. This also applies accordingly to the acquisition of shares after the Evidence Date. Persons who do not hold shares on the Evidence Date and become shareholders only thereafter are entitled to participate and vote for the shares held by them only to the extent that they are authorized by proxy or otherwise authorized to exercise rights. However, the Evidence Date has no significance for the entitlement to a dividend as this entitlement only depends on the shareholder status on the day of the resolution on the distribution of profits by the ordinary General Meeting.

Proxy voting procedure

Shareholders may also have their voting rights in the ordinary General Meeting exercised by a proxy, e.g. the depositary bank, an association of shareholders or another person of their choice. If the shareholder authorizes more than one person, the Company can reject one or more of such persons. The issue of the proxy, its revocation and the evidence of authorization to be presented to the Company require the text form; financial institutions, shareholders’ associations and persons equated thereto according to sections 135 (8) AktG and 135 (10) AktG in connection with section 125 (5) AktG may — to the extent powers of attorney are issued to them — provide for deviating provisions.

The evidence of the appointment of an authorized person may either be presented at the entrance to the meeting venue of the General Meeting on the day of the General Meeting or be submitted in advance to the following address:

E-Mail: hauptversammlung@fmc-ag.com

In case the proxy or the evidence of the appointment of an authorized person is submitted to the Company in advance to the postal address, fax number or e-mail address stated above, we may for organizational reasons ask for a corresponding submission by May 17, 2015 (24:00 hours CEST).

Procedure regarding Company-named proxies acting on shareholders’ voting instructions

The Company offers that shareholders may issue powers of attorney to proxies named by the Company who are bound to shareholders’ voting instructions. Such persons are employees of the Company or of an affiliated company who vote on the respective items of the agenda on the basis of powers of attorney by shareholders and in accordance with the instructions issued by them. The proxies named by the Company must, for this purpose, be issued powers of attorney in text form as well as express and unambiguous instructions for the exercise of the voting right. The proxies named by the Company are obligated to vote in accordance with the instructions. They cannot exercise the voting rights at their own discretion. To the extent there is no express and unambiguous instruction, the proxies named by the Company will abstain from voting on the respective voting matter.

Powers of attorney including voting instructions for the proxies named by the Company may already be submitted to the Company prior to the General Meeting. In this case, powers of attorney and voting instructions must be received by the Company for organizational reasons until May 17, 2015 (24:00 CEST) at the following address:

Irrespective of the above, shareholders may issue powers of attorney and voting instructions to proxies named by the Company during the General Meeting.

Further information on the proxy voting procedure

The shareholders shall receive forms for powers of attorney and for voting instructions as well as further information regarding the issuing of powers of attorney together with the entrance ticket.

Timely registration and evidence of the shareholding in accordance with the foregoing provisions are also required in case a power of attorney is issued. This does not exclude any granting of powers of attorney after the registration has occurred.

Exhibit 99.2

Report of the Supervisory Board
of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA
for the Financial Year 2014

The supervisory board of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA dealt in the financial year 2014 with possibilities to expand business activities to include adjacent business areas and the associated acquisitions above all in North America, with the expansion of the present business and with questions of research and development and further financing of the company. The further improvement of efficiency of production and service and the success of the cost-saving measures were discussed with the management board of the general partner Fresenius Medical Care Management AG (hereinafter “the Management Board”).

Details:

The supervisory board, in the expired financial year 2014, again dealt extensively with the situation and the perspectives of the company and various special issues as well as performing the duties imposed on it by the law, the Articles of Association, the rules of procedure and the German Corporate Governance Code. The supervisory board regularly advised the Management Board on the management of the company and supervised the management within its responsibility as the supervisory board of the partnership limited by shares. The management informed the supervisory board in written and oral reports regularly, within a short time and comprehensively about all significant questions of business policy and the company planning and strategy, the progress of transactions, on acquisitions, the profitability and liquidity, the situation of the company and the group and the risk situation and risk management. All business issues significant for the company were discussed by the supervisory board on the basis of reports of the Management Board in the committees and in full session comprehensively. The strategic direction of the company was also discussed with the Management Board. In accordance with the procedure in previous years, the supervisory board again reviewed the economic development of

acquisitions of the previous years and compared them with the planning and prognoses at the time of each acquisition. The supervisory board passed resolutions in the terms of its responsibilities under statute and under the Articles of Association.

Meetings:

In the financial year 2014, five meetings — most of which extended to more than one day - of the supervisory board and a number of telephone conferences took place. No supervisory board member attended less than half of the meetings. Between the meetings, written reports were provided. The chairman of the supervisory board also maintained close contact with the Management Board and in particular with the chairman of the Management Board apart from at meetings.

Focus of the Discussions in the Supervisory Board

The supervisory board in the expired financial year 2014 dealt mainly with the strategic considerations and measures to expand the area of business, above all in North America. In addition to the dialysis treatment itself, Fresenius Medical Care’s core business comprises further medical services combined under the title care coordination. These include, for example, vascular care, coordination of inpatient and outpatient services, intensive-care treatments by specialist physicians, vascular surgery services, planning of health care services, emergency medicine and laboratory and pharmacy business. Several acquisitions in the area of care coordination and emergency medicine as well as cardio-vascular therapies in the U.S. (namely, the acquisitions of Medspring Urgent Care Centers, Sound Inpatient Physicians, Cogent Healthcare, National Cardiovascular Partners) are intended to produce further growth adjacent to the core business areas.

Financing issues were again the focus of the discussions. The expansion of the credit agreement, the extension of the receivables sales program, the placing of bonds and the issue of an equity neutral convertible bond further strengthened and improved the financing basis. Thereby, the company also took advantage of the favorable interest environment.

The business development, the competitive situation and the planning of the management board in the various regions were also at the centre of the

discussions. The supervisory board was informed about the success of the measures to improve the cost situation.

The supervisory board informed itself about the quality assurance systems and the qualitative results of the various production facilities and together with the Management Board discussed the anticipated quantitative development in the existing facilities and their expansion. The supervisory board also discussed and considered with the Management Board the litigation in connection with alleged inadequate warnings on two dialysis concentrates (NaturaLyte and Granuflo).

The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee

Prof. Dr. Bernd Fahrholz, Mr. William P. Johnston, Dr. Gerd Krick und Dr. Walter L. Weisman were members of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. Walter L. Weisman (independent financial expert according to Sec. 100 ss. 5 German Stock Corporation Act) held a total of five meetings and a number of telephone conferences in the year under report. It dealt with the annual and consolidated financial statements, the proposal for the application of profit and the Form 20-F report for the American Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee also discussed each quarterly report with the Management Board. It also satisfied itself as to the independence of the auditor of the annual and consolidated financial statements, instructed him to undertake the audit, concluded the fee agreement with him and discussed and determined with him the focuses of the audit. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee also considered the compliance of the company, in particular assertions that in countries outside the USA and Germany violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) or other anti-corruption legislation occurred. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee followed the investigations thereby indicated which also covered the internal control processes. It is anticipated that the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee will continue to deal with the progress of this investigation in the current financial year since at the end of the year under report no final results were available.

Representatives of the auditor participated in all meetings of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and in a number of telephone conferences and reported thereby on their auditing and the audit review of the quarterly financial statements and, in the absence of members of the Management Board, on the cooperation with them. The representatives of the auditor also reported on the significant results of their audit and were also available for additional information.

The accountancy process, the effectiveness of the internal control system, of the risk management system and of the internal audit system, and the audit were discussed several times in the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee. KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft reviewed, in the course of the audit, the internal control and risk management system in relation to the accountancy process and the establishment of the early risk recognition system and raised no objections thereto. The Management Board provided periodic reports on larger individual risks. The Management Board also informed the committee regularly i.e. at all ordinary meetings of the Audit and Corporate Government Committee and sometimes in telephone conferences on the compliance situation of the company. In addition, the head of internal audit reported periodically to the committee.

In 2014, the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee again dealt with the internal control system of the company in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX 404”). The company received on February 24, 2015 an unqualified audit certificate of KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Berlin, for the implementation of the regulations of SOX 404 in the financial year 2014.

The legal and business relations of the company to Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA and/or its affiliates were again subject matter of the reviews of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee. It was possible to confirm in each case that the relationships corresponded to those “at arms’ length”.

The results of the discussions and resolutions of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee were reported by its chairman to the supervisory board in each case.

Joint Committee

The Joint Committee, the approval of which is required for certain important transactions and certain transactions between the company and Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA and/or its affiliates, did not meet in 2014 since there were no measures requiring its approval arose.

For the general partner, its supervisory board members Dr. Ulf M. Schneider and Dr. Gerd Krick are delegated to the Joint Committee of the company and for Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co KGaA, Dr. Walter L. Weisman and Mr. William P. Johnston are elected to the Joint Committee.

Nomination Committee:

The Nomination Committee of the company, the members of which in the year under report were Dr. Gerd Krick (chairman), Dr. Walter L. Weisman and Dr. Dieter Schenk, recommends to the supervisory board of the company suitable candidates for its election proposals for members of the supervisory board to the general meeting. In the year under report, the Nomination Committee did not meet as there was no requirement for it to do so.

Corporate Governance

The supervisory board again reviewed the efficiency of its work and also dealt with the exchange of information between the Management Board and the supervisory board (including regular information from the Management Board on new developments in Corporate Governance and Compliance) and between the supervisory board and the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee. No objections arose in the course thereof.

The supervisory board members Rolf A. Classon, William P. Johnston, Dr. Gerd Krick, Dr. Dieter Schenk and Dr. Walter L. Weisman are also members of the supervisory board of the general partner, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG. The supervisory board members Dr. Krick and Dr. Schenk are also members of the supervisory board of Fresenius Management SE (Dr. Krick as chairman and Dr. Schenk as deputy chairman) which acts as general partner in Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA which holds approx. 31.1% of the shares of the company and all shares in its general partner, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG. Dr. Krick is also a member (chairman) of the supervisory board of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA.

Consultancy or other service relationships between supervisory board members and the company apply in the year under report only to Dr. Dieter Schenk who is also partner in the law firm Noerr LLP which, together with other companies of the international law firm Noerr, provided legal advice to the company and its affiliates. In the year under report, Fresenius Medical Care paid approx. €1.1 million (plus VAT) to the law firm Noerr or in December 2014 gave instructions for such payment (2013: approx. €1.0 million). This is less than 1 % of the legal and consultancy costs paid by Fresenius Medical Care worldwide. Concerning the amount paid or processed for payment in the year 2014, it does not include payments which have been executed in the year under report, but had been instructed for payment in 2013 and had therefore been reported for fiscal year 2013 already. The supervisory board (and the supervisory board of the general partner) approved the instructions and the payments after presentation of detailed information thereon and after the recommendation of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee by resolution accordingly, in each case with Dr. Schenk abstaining. Payments were only effected after the approval of the supervisory board in each case.

The supervisory board found that it and its committees have, in its opinion, an adequate number of independent members.

At its meeting on December 2, 2014, the supervisory board discussed and resolved on the conformity declaration of the company under § 161 Stock Corporation Act on the German Corporate Governance Code. The version of the conformity declaration of December 2014 as it appears at present permanently accessible on the Internet site of the company applies.

The exceptions from the recommendations of the Code refer firstly to the (absence of) reference to or setting of an age limit for members of the Management Board and the lack of setting concrete targets for the composition of the supervisory board of Fresenius Medical Care and their implementation in election recommendations. Since the composition of the Management Board and of the supervisory board is to be guided by the interests of the company, the qualification of each individual is in principle and with priority decisive. The supervisory board will in discussing its proposals to the relevant election committees take account of the international activity of the company, potential conflicts of interest, the number of independent supervisory board members in the meaning of No. 5.4.2 of the Code and

diversity. This also includes the aim to establish an appropriate female representation on a long-term basis. In order, however, not to limit generally the selection of suitable candidates in the interest of the company, the supervisory board confines itself to a general declaration of intent and in particular refrains from setting an age limit for members of the management board.

Likewise, in the service contracts of the members of the Management Board no cap on severance payments is included. That would not be reconcilable with the concept of concluding service contracts for the duration of the appointment and would not be consistent with a balanced consideration of each individual case.

Furthermore, in the service contracts of the members of the Management Board, no maximum figures for specific remuneration parts is included for the reasons stated in the conformity declaration. While the amounts of short-term performance-related remuneration are limited, the service agreements of the members of the Management Board provide the possibility to limit stock options and phantom stocks as remuneration elements with long-term incentive effect but no maximum limit by amount. That would contradict the basic principle that the members of the management board should participate reasonably in the economic chances and risks of the business. It is for that reason that no maximum amounts are stated for the overall remuneration.

For that reason, the tables used for the presentation of the remuneration of the members of the Management Board do not correspond entirely with the relevant recommendations of the Code. However, Fresenius Medical Care presents the system and the amounts of the management board remuneration comprehensively and transparently. Benefits and inflows granted in the year under report are presented in tables which follow the structure and mostly the specifications of the precedent tables.

The Corporate Governance Report of the general partner and of the supervisory board together with the declaration on the management according to Sec. 289a Commercial Code are on pages 110 ss. of the annual report. The declaration on the management for the year under report was discussed by the supervisory board and approved at its meeting of March 11, 2015.

Annual and consolidated financial statements

The annual financial statements of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA and the annual management report were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the German Commercial Code, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated management report under Sec. 315a German Commercial Code in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable in the European Union. The accountancy, the annual financial statements and the annual management report of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA and the consolidated financial statements and consolidated annual management report of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, in each case for the financial year 2014, were audited by KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Berlin which was elected as auditor by resolution of the annual general meeting of May 15, 2014 and instructed by the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of the supervisory board. The said documents each carry an unqualified certificate. The audit reports of the auditor were laid before the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and before the supervisory board. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, taking account of the audit reports of the auditor of the annual and consolidated financial statements and the discussions with him, reviewed the annual and consolidated financial statements and annual management reports and reported to the supervisory board thereon.

The supervisory board also reviewed the annual financial statements, the annual management report and the proposal for the application of profit and the consolidated financial statements and consolidated annual management report in each case for the financial year 2014. The documents were provided to it in good time. The supervisory board declared its agreement to the result of the audit of the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements by the auditor. The representatives of the auditor of the annual and consolidated financial statements who signed the audit reports also participated in the discussions of the supervisory board of the annual and consolidated financial statements, reported on the significant results of the audit and were available for additional information. No objections are to be raised by the supervisory board to the annual financial statements and the annual management report of the company or to the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated annual management report even after the final results of its own review.

At its meeting on February 24, 2015, the supervisory board discussed the draft of the report according to Form 20-F for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which contains, inter alia, the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated annual management report in accordance with the “U. S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, (US GAAP) with the US dollar as the reporting currency. The annual financial statements and annual management report of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA as well as the consolidated financial statements and consolidated annual management report for 2014, each of them presented by the general partner, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, were approved by the supervisory board at its meeting on March 11, 2015. The supervisory board also approved the general partner’s proposal for the application of profit which provides for a dividend of € 0.78 for each share.

Dependency report:

The general partner, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, prepared a report on the relationships to affiliates in accordance with § 312 Stock Corporation Act for the financial year 2014. The report contains the final declaration of the general partner that the company, in accordance with the circumstances known to the general partner at the time at which the transaction was undertaken or the measures taken or omitted, received reasonable consideration for each transaction and was not disadvantaged by the conduct of the measures or their omission.

The supervisory board and the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee received the report in good time and reviewed it. The auditor participated in the relevant discussions, reported on the main results of his audit and was available for additional information. The supervisory board and the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee share the view of the auditor who added the following certificate to that report on February 24, 2015:

“Based on our audit and the conclusions reached we confirm that (1) the disclosures made in the report are factually correct, (2) the consideration received or paid by the company for each legal transaction disclosed in the report was not unreasonably high, (3) there are no other circumstances relating to the transactions and measures disclosed in the report which would lead to a conclusion different to the one reached by the personally liable shareholder (general partner)”.

According to the final result of the review by the supervisory board also, no objections to the declaration of the general partner at the foot of the report on the relationships to affiliates are to be raised.

Composition of the Management Board

Prof. Emanuele Gatti, management board member for the region of Europe, the Near East, Africa and Latin America and responsible for the worldwide strategy development, left the Management Board with effect on. March 31, 2014. He is since that time Executive Advisor for Health Strategies and Health Policy of the company and represents it in various external committees. In addition and in connection with his scientific work — since April 1, 2014 as Professor for Translation of Biomedical Innovations at the Danube University Krems — Prof. Gatti will continue to work for Fresenius Medical Care on the development of regenerative therapies and the further development of dialysis.

As successor to Prof. Gatti for the region of Europe, the Near East and Africa, the supervisory board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG appointed Mr. Dominik Wehner who has been with the group since 1994.

Dr. Rainer Runte, management board member for Law, Compliance, Intellectual Property, Corporate Business Development and Labour Director for Germany left the company by mutual agreement as of March 31, 2014 after informing the supervisory board that for personal reasons he did not wish to extend his contract which was due to expire at the end of 2014. Dr. Runte had been with the company for 24 years and since 2002 as a member of the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care AG (Legal predecessor of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA), and since 2006 as a member of the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG. The responsibilities for the areas of Global Law, Compliance and Human Resources as well as Latin America were assigned to the Chairman of the Management Board while the responsibility for the area Global Intellectual Property and Patents lies with the management function Global Research and Development. Furthermore, the areas of Global Law and Compliance are under the responsibility of a Chief Compliance Officer and a General Counsel,

neither of whom is a member of the management board. The new Industrial Relations Director for Germany is Mr. Dominik Wehner.

The supervisory board thanks Prof. Gatti and Dr. Runte for their long years of successful work in building up the business, their outstanding commitment and their excellent economic performance.

We wish Mr. Wehner success on the Management Board.

The supervisory board thanks the members of the Management Board as well as all employees for their commitment and for the successful work performed in 2014.

Explanatory report

of the General Partner

on information according to Sec. 289 para. 4, Sec. 315 para. 4

of the German Commercial Code

The information contained in the management report to the group financial statements and the separate financial statements of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA for the fiscal year 2014 according to Sec. 289 para. 4, Sec. 315 para. 4 of the German Commercial Code are explained as follows:

Share capital held by the Company’s shareholders (excluding treasury shares held by the Company) at December 31, 2014 totals approximately € 304 million, divided into 303,555,300 non-par bearer shares, each arithmetically representing € 1 of the share capital.

The total of non-par bearer shares include 65,620 shares issued to Company employees in 2014 in conjunction with a corporate agreement and which are subject to a two-year holding period. The Company also holds 7,548,951 treasury shares acquired on the basis of the authorization — granted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on May 12, 2011 — to acquire treasury shares during the period from May 20, 2013 to August 14, 2013. Voting rights may not be exercised on treasury shares. The treasury shares were acquired on the stock exchange via the XETRA trading system. All of the treasury shares acquired on this basis — corresponding to a par value of approximately € 8 million or 2.43 % of share capital — were still held by the Company as at December 31, 2014. Including treasury shares, the Company’s share capital therefore amounted to € 311 million as of December 31, 2014, divided into 311,104,251 shares. The acquired treasury shares will only be used to reduce the Company’s share capital (by cancellation of the relevant shares) or to service employee incentive plans.

The rights of the shareholders are governed by the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and the Company’s Articles of Association. This stipulates that each share shall be entitled to one vote at the Company’s General Meeting.

The General Partner, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, is responsible for managing and representing the Company. The General Partner does not participate in the profit or loss or net assets of the Company. The General Partner’s management authority also encompasses exceptional management measures. The right of the shareholders to consent to such measures at the General Meeting is excluded. Vis-à-vis the General Partner, the Company is represented by its Supervisory Board.

The General Partner will cease to be General Partner of the Company if and when all shares in the General Partner are no longer held directly or indirectly by one party, which at the same time must hold, directly or indirectly by means of a controlled company as defined by § 17 (1) AktG, more than 25% of the Company’s share capital. This does not apply if all the shares of the General Partner are held directly or indirectly by the Company. Additionally, the General Partner will cease to be the Company’s General Partner if the shares in the General Partner are acquired by another person

· who does not at the same time acquire shares of the Company in the amount of more than 25 % of the Company’s share capital or

· who has not, within three months after the effectiveness of such acquisition, submitted a voluntary or mandatory takeover offer to the Company’s shareholders according to the rules of the German Takeover Act (WpÜG); the fair consideration offered to the shareholders must also reflect the consideration which the purchasers pay for the share in the General Partner, if the amount for such consideration is above the amount of its equity capital.

The other grounds for withdrawal as provided by the law remain unaffected with respect to the General Partner.

As at December 31, 2014, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v.d. Höhe, Germany, holds 94,380,382 ordinary shares of the Company and thus 30.34% of the Company’s capital. After deduction of treasury shares held by the Company in accordance with § 16 (2) sentence 2 AktG, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA holds 31.09 % of the Company’s share capital with voting rights.

The appointment and removal of members of the Management Board of the General Partner are governed by § 84 and § 85 AktG. Changes in the Articles of Association must be made in accordance with § 179 AktG in conjunction with § 133 AktG. The Articles of Association entitle the Company’s Supervisory Board, without resolution of the General Meeting, to make amendments to the Articles of Association which concern only its wording.

The General Partner is entitled, subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company’s share capital as follows in accordance with the resolutions passed by the shareholders’ at the General Meeting:

· authorization, in the period up to May 10, 2015 to increase, on one or more occasions, the Company’s share capital by up to a total of € 35 million by issuing new bearer ordinary shares in return for cash contributions (Authorized Capital 2010/I).

· authorization, in the period up to May 10, 2015 to increase, on one or more occasions, the Company’s share capital by up to a total of € 25 million by issuing new bearer ordinary shares in return for non-cash contributions (Authorized Capital 2010/II).

In both cases, the General Partner is entitled, under certain circumstances and with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to decide on the exclusion of shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

In addition to the above, the following conditional capitals are in place:

· The Company’s share capital is conditionally increased by up to € 3,588 million. This conditional increase in capital will only be carried out to the extent that convertible bonds were issued in accordance with the International Employee Participation Scheme in accordance with the shareholders’ resolutions taken on May 23 2001, May 15, 2007 and May 16, 2013 and the holders of such convertible bonds exercise their conversion rights.

· The Company’s share capital is conditionally increased by of up to € 5,771 million. This conditional share capital increase will only be carried out to the

extent that options were issued in accordance with the Stock Option Plan 2006 based on the shareholders’ resolutions taken on May 9, 2006 and May 15, 2007, the holders of such options exercise their rights and the Company does not issue any own (treasury) shares to settle the options; in the case of options issued to members of the Managing Board of the General Partner, its Supervisory Board shall be responsible.

· The Company’s share capital is conditionally increased by up to € 12,000 million. This conditional share capital increase will only be carried out to the extent that options were issued in accordance with the Stock Option Plan 2011 based on the shareholders’ resolution taken on May 12, 2011, the holders of such options exercise their rights and the Company does not issue any own (treasury) shares to settle the options; in the case of options issued to members of the Managing Board of the General Partner, its Supervisory Board shall be responsible.

A change of control resulting from a takeover offer could, under certain circumstances, have an impact on a number of the Company’s long-term financing arrangements with change of control clauses, in particular the Credit Agreement 2012, the loan notes, the equity-neutral convertible bond and the receivables sale program. These change of control clauses, which are customary for the market, give creditors the right to terminate agreements early or call for early repayment of outstanding amounts in the event of a change of control. The right to terminate in some cases only exists, however, if the change of control involves the Company’s rating or the corresponding financing instrument being downgraded.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

In this letter (1) “FMC AG & Co. KGaA”, the “Company”, “we” or “our” refer to Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, a German partnership limited by shares, (2) “Fresenius Medical Care AG” and “FMC-AG” refer to the Company as a German stock corporation before the transformation of our legal form into a partnership limited by shares; (3) “Fresenius SE” refers to Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, a German partnership limited by shares resulting from the change of legal form of Fresenius SE (effective as of January 2011), a European Company (Societas Europaea) previously called Fresenius AG, a German stock corporation.

As a foreign private issuer under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is not presently subject to the SEC’s Proxy Rules. However, under the stipulations of the Pooling Agreement among us, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, our general partner and our independent directors, FMC AG & Co. KGaA has agreed that in connection with any exercise of voting or consent rights by our shareholders, the Company will make available information to shareholders which is generally comparable to that which would be provided by a U.S. corporation, except that it agreed to provide the following information as it would be provided by a foreign private issuer under the SEC’s rules:

(i) Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA; (ii) Trading markets: (iii) Directors and Senior Management; (iv) Compensation of our Management Board and our Supervisory Board; (v) Options to Purchase Our Securities, and (vi) material transactions between FMC AG & Co. KGaA and its subsidiaries and directors and officers of FMC AG & Co. KGaA, controlling persons of FMC AG & Co. KGaA, and relatives or spouses of such directors, officers and controlling persons. The above information contained in this letter, as well as the information in item (vii) “Principal Accountant Fees and Services,” has been derived principally from our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC (our “2014 20-F”). Our 2014 20-F is available on the web site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov and on our web site at www.freseniusmedicalcare.com.

(i) Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA and Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius Medical Care

Our outstanding share capital consists of ordinary shares issued only in bearer form. Accordingly, unless we receive information regarding acquisitions of our shares through a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or through the German statutory requirements referred to below, or except as described below with respect to our shares held in American Depository Receipt (“ADR”) form, we face difficulties precisely determining who our shareholders are at any specified time or how many shares any particular shareholder owns. Because we are a foreign private issuer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, our directors and officers are not required to report their ownership of our equity securities or their transactions in our equity securities pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. However, persons who become “beneficial owners” of more than 5% of our ordinary shares are required to report their beneficial ownership pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, under the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz or “WpHG”), persons who discharge managerial responsibilities within an issuer of shares are obliged to notify the issuer and the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht or “BaFin”) of their own transactions in shares of the issuer. This obligation also applies to persons who are closely associated with the persons discharging managerial responsibility. Additionally, holders of voting securities of a German company listed on the regulated market (Regulierter Markt) of a German

stock exchange or a corresponding trading segment of a stock exchange within the European Union are obligated to notify the company of the level of their holding whenever such holding reaches, exceeds or falls below certain thresholds, which have been set at 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% and 75% of a company’s outstanding voting rights. Such notification obligations will also apply to other financial instruments that result in an entitlement to acquire shares or that cause the hedging of shares (excluding the 3% threshold).

We have been informed that as of February 18, 2015, Fresenius SE owned 94,380,382, approximately 31.1%, of our ordinary shares. The following schedule illustrates the latest threshold notifications furnished to us by third parties pursuant to the German Securities Trading Act:

Voting Rights Notifications (Last Reported Status)

Notifying party	Date of reaching, exceeding or falling bellow	Reporting threshold	Reporting criteria	Percentage of voting rights	Number of voting rights at notification date
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., New York, USA	September 25, 2014	5% falling below, 3% exceeding	Attribution pursuant to Section 22 (1) sentence 1 No. 6 as well as (1) sentence 2 WpHG	4.04	12,537,228
BlackRock Holdco 2, Inc., Wilmington, USA	September 25, 2014	5% falling below, 3% exceeding	Attribution pursuant to Section 22 (1) sentence 1 No. 6 as well as (1) sentence 2 WpHG	4.05	12,554,058
BlackRock, Inc., New York, USA	September 25, 2014	5% falling below, 3% exceeding	Attribution pursuant to Section 22 (1) sentence 1 No. 6 as well as (1) sentence 2 WpHG	4.11	12,750,189

Except for certain limitations on Fresenius SE’s right to vote its shares as described below, all of our ordinary shares have the same voting rights. However, as the sole shareholder of our General Partner, Fresenius SE is barred from voting its ordinary shares on certain matters. See Item 16.G, “Corporate Governance — Supervisory Board” in our 2014 20-F.

Bank of New York Mellon, our ADR depositary, informed us, that as of December 31, 2014, 20,502,564 ordinary ADSs, each representing one half of an ordinary share, were held of record by 3,503 U.S. holders. For more information regarding ADRs and ADSs see Item 10.B, “Memorandum and Articles of Association — Description of American Depositary Receipts” in our 2014 20-F.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius SE

Fresenius SE’s share capital consists solely of ordinary shares, issued only in bearer form. Accordingly, Fresenius SE has difficulties precisely determining who its shareholders are at any specified time or how many shares any particular shareholder owns. However, under the German Securities Trading Act, holders of voting securities of a German company listed on the regulated market (Regulierter Markt) of a German stock exchange or a corresponding trading segment of a stock exchange within the European Union are obligated to notify the company of certain levels of holdings, as described above.

The Else Kröner-Fresenius Stiftung is the sole shareholder of Fresenius Management SE, the general partner of Fresenius SE, and has sole power to elect the supervisory board of Fresenius Management SE. In addition, based on

the most recent information available, Else Kröner-Fresenius Stiftung owns approximately 26.7% of the Fresenius SE ordinary shares. See item (vi), “Material Transactions between FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and its Subsidiaries and Directors, Officers and Controlling Persons of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, below.

(ii) Trading Markets for our Securities

The principal trading market for our ordinary shares is the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB® Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse). All ordinary shares have been issued in bearer form. Accordingly, we face difficulties determining precisely who our holders of ordinary shares are or how many shares any particular shareholder owns, with the exception of the number of shares held in ADR form in the United States. For more information regarding ADRs see Item 10.B., “Memorandum and articles of association — Description of American Depositary Receipts” in our 2014 20-F. However, under the German Securities Trading Act, holders of voting securities of a German company listed on a stock exchange within the EU are obligated to notify the company of certain levels of holdings as described in item (i), “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA and Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius Medical Care,” above. Additionally, persons discharging managerial responsibilities and affiliated persons are obliged to notify the supervising authority and the Company of trades in their shares in excess of €5,000 in any year. The ordinary shares of Fresenius Medical Care AG had been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since October 2, 1996. Trading in the ordinary shares of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange commenced on February 13, 2006.

Our shares have been listed on the Regulated Market (Regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and on the Prime Standard of the Regulated Market, which is a sub-segment of the Regulated Market with additional post-admission obligations. Admission to the Prime Standard requires the fulfillment of the following transparency criteria: publication of quarterly reports; preparation of financial statements in accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS or U.S. GAAP); publication of a company calendar; convening of at least one analyst conference per year; and publication of ad-hoc messages (i.e., certain announcements of material developments and events) in English. Companies aiming to be listed in this segment have to apply for admission. Listing in the Prime Standard is a prerequisite for inclusion of shares in the selection indices of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, such as the DAX®, the index of 30 major German stocks.

Since October 1, 1996, ADSs representing our ordinary shares (the “Ordinary ADSs”), have been listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol FMS. Effective December 3, 2012, we effected a two-for-one split of our Ordinary ADSs outstanding and our Preference ADSs, which changed the ratio of each class of ADSs from one ADSs representing one share to two ADSs representing one share. The Depositary for the Ordinary ADSs is Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”).

Trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Deutsche Börse AG operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which is the largest of the six German stock exchanges by value of shares traded. Our shares are traded on Xetra, the electronic trading system of the Deutsche Börse. The trading hours for Xetra are between 9:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Central European Time (“CET”). Only brokers and banks that have been admitted to Xetra by the Frankfurt Stock Exchange have direct access to the system and may trade on it. Private investors can trade on Xetra through their banks and brokers. As of March 2012, the most recent figures available, the shares of more than 11,000 companies were traded on Xetra.

Deutsche Börse AG publishes information for all traded securities on the Internet, http://www.deutsche-boerse.com.

Transactions on Xetra and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange settle on the second business day following the trade except for trades executed on Xetra International Markets, the European Blue Chip segment of Deutsche Börse AG, which settle on the third business day following a trade. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange can suspend a quotation if orderly trading is temporarily endangered or if a suspension is deemed to be necessary to protect the public.

The Hessian Stock Exchange Supervisory Authority (Hessische Börsenaufsicht) and the Trading Monitoring Unit of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (HÜST Handelsüberwachungsstelle) both monitor trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht), an independent federal authority, is responsible for the general supervision of securities trading pursuant to provisions of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz) and other laws.

Dividends

We generally pay annual dividends on our shares in amounts that we determine on the basis of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA’s prior year unconsolidated earnings as shown in the statutory financial statements that we prepare under German law on the basis of the accounting principles of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch or HGB), subject to authorization by a resolution to be passed at our general meeting of shareholders. As of June 28, 2013 we converted all preference shares to ordinary shares and all options for preference shares to options for ordinary shares. At December 31, 2014 we have only one class of shares outstanding.

The General Partner and our Supervisory Board propose dividends and the shareholders approve dividends for payment in respect of a fiscal year at the annual general meeting (AGM) in the following year. Since all of our shares are in bearer form, we remit dividends to the depositary bank (Depotbank) on behalf of the shareholders.

Our Amended 2012 Senior Credit Agreement restricts our ability to pay dividends. Item 5.B, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2014 20-F and the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 20-F discuss this restriction. All of our dividends have been paid in compliance with these limitations.

The table below provides information regarding the annual dividend per share that we paid on our Ordinary shares. These payments were paid in the years shown for the results of operations in the year preceding the payment.

Per Share Amount	2014		2013		2012

Ordinary share	€	0.77	€	0.75	€	0.69

We have announced that the general partner’s Management Board and our Supervisory Board have proposed dividends for 2014 payable in 2015 of €0.78 per ordinary share. These dividends are subject to approval by our shareholders at our AGM to be held on May 19, 2015. Our goal is for dividend development to be more closely aligned with our growth in basic earnings per share, while maintaining dividend continuity.

Except as described herein, holders of ADSs will be entitled to receive dividends on the Ordinary shares represented by the respective ADSs. We will pay any cash dividends payable to such holders to the depositary in euros and, subject to certain exceptions, the depositary will convert the dividends into U.S. dollars and distribute the dividends to ADS holders. See Item 10, “Additional Information — Description of American Depositary Receipts — Share Dividends and Other Distributions” in our 2014 20-F. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro will affect the amount of dividends that ADS holders receive. Dividends paid to holders and beneficial holders of the ADSs will be subject to deduction of German withholding tax. You can find a discussion of German withholding tax in “Item 10.E. Taxation” in our 2014 20-F.

Governance Matters

ADSs representing our ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). However, because we are a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are exempt from substantially all of the governance rules set forth in Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Companies Manual, other than the obligation to maintain an audit committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act the obligation to notify the NYSE if any of our executive officers becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A, and the obligation to file annual and interim written affirmations, on forms mandated by the NYSE, relating to our compliance with applicable NYSE governance rules. Many of the governance reforms instituted by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, including the requirements to provide shareholders with “say-on-pay” and “say-on-when” advisory votes related to the compensation of certain executive officers, are implemented through the SEC’s proxy rules. Because foreign private issuers are exempt from the proxy rules, these governance rules are also not applicable to us. However, the compensation system for our Management Board was reviewed by an independent external compensation expert at the beginning of 2013. See item (iv) below, Compensation of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.” Similarly, the more detailed disclosure requirements regarding management compensation applicable to U.S. domestic companies (including, if it is adopted as proposed, the requirement to disclose the ratio of the median of the total compensation of all employees of an issuer to the total compensation of the issuer’s chief executive officer) are found in SEC Regulation S-K, whereas compensation disclosure requirements for foreign private issuers are set forth in the Form 20-F and generally limit our disclosure to the information we disclose under German law. Subject to the exceptions noted above, instead of applying their governance and disclosure requirements to foreign private issuers, the rules of both the SEC and the NYSE require that we disclose the significant ways in which our corporate practices differ from those applicable to U.S. domestic companies under NYSE listing standards.

As a German company FMC-AG & Co. KGaA follows German corporate governance practices. German corporate governance practices generally derive from the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, or “AktG”) including capital market related laws, the German Codetermination Act (Mitbestimmungsgesetz, or “MitBestG”) and the German Corporate Governance Code. Our Articles of Association also include provisions affecting our corporate governance. German standards differ from the corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic companies which have been adopted by the NYSE. See Item 16.G, “Governance,’ in our 2013 20-F, for information regarding our organizational structure, management arrangements and governance, including information regarding the legal structure of a KGaA, management by a general partner, certain provisions of our Articles of Association and the role of the Supervisory Board in monitoring the management of our company by our General Partner. Item 16.G of our 2013 20-F includes a brief, general summary of the principal differences between German and U.S. corporate governance practices, together with, as appropriate, a comparison to U.S. principles or practices.

(iii) Directors and Senior Management

General

As a partnership limited by shares, under the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), our corporate bodies are our General Partner, our Supervisory Board and our general meeting of shareholders. Our sole General Partner is Management AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius SE. Management AG is required to devote itself exclusively to the management of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA.

For a detailed discussion of the legal and management structure of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, including the more limited powers and functions of the Supervisory Board compared to those of the general partner, see Item 16.G, “Governance — The Legal Structure of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA” in our 2014 20-F.

Our General Partner has a supervisory board and a management board. These two boards are separate and no individual may simultaneously be a member of both boards. A person may, however, serve on both the supervisory board of our General Partner and on our Supervisory Board.

The General Partner’s Supervisory Board

The supervisory board of Management AG consists of six members who are elected by Fresenius SE (acting through its general partner, Fresenius Management SE), the sole shareholder of Management AG. Pursuant to a pooling agreement for the benefit of the public holders of our shares, at least one-third (but no fewer than two) of the members of the General Partner’s supervisory board are required to be independent directors as defined in the pooling agreement, i.e., persons with no substantial business or professional relationship with us, Fresenius SE, the general partner, or any affiliate of any of them.

Unless resolved otherwise by the general meeting of shareholders, the terms of each of the members of the supervisory board of Management AG will expire at the end of the general meeting of shareholders held during the fourth fiscal year following the year in which the Management AG supervisory board member was elected by Fresenius SE, but not counting the fiscal year in which such member’s term begins. Fresenius SE, as the sole shareholder of Management AG, is at any time entitled to re-appoint members of the Management AG supervisory board. The most recent election of members of the General Partner’s supervisory board took place in July 2011. Members of the General Partner’s supervisory board may be removed only by a resolution of Fresenius SE in its capacity as sole shareholder of the General Partner. Neither our shareholders nor the separate Supervisory Board of FMC AG & Co. KGaA has any influence on the appointment of the supervisory board of the General Partner.

The General Partner’s supervisory board ordinarily acts by simple majority vote and the Chairman has a tie-breaking vote in case of any deadlock. The principal function of the general partner’s supervisory board is to appoint and to supervise the General Partner’s management board in its management of the Company, and to approve mid-term planning, dividend payments and matters which are not in the ordinary course of business and are of fundamental importance to us.

The table below provides the names of the members of the supervisory board of Management AG and their ages as of January 1, 2015.

The Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA

The Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA consists of six members who are elected by the shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA in a general meeting. The most recent Supervisory Board elections occurred in May of 2011. Fresenius SE, as the sole shareholder of Management AG, the general partner, is barred from voting for election of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, but it nevertheless has and will retain significant influence over the membership of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board in the foreseeable future. See Item 16.G, “Governance — The Legal Structure of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA” in our 2014 20-F.

The current Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA consists of six persons, five of whom — Messrs. Krick (Chairman), Schenk (Vice-Chairman), Classon, Johnston, and Weisman— are also members of the supervisory board of our General Partner. For information regarding those members of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, see “The General Partner’s Supervisory Board,” above. The sixth member of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA is Prof. Dr. Bernd Fahrholz. Information regarding his age, term of office and business experience is as follows:

PROF. DR. BERND FAHRHOLZ, age 67 was a member of the Supervisory Board of Management AG from April 2005 until August 2006 and was a member of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG from 1998 until the transformation of legal form to KGaA and has been a member of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA since the transformation. He is Vice Chairman of our Audit and Corporate Governance Committee.

The terms of office of the aforesaid members of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA will expire at the end of the general meeting of shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, in which the shareholders discharge the Supervisory Board held during the fourth fiscal year following the year in which they were elected, but not counting the fiscal year in which such member’s term begins. Fresenius SE, as sole shareholder of our general partner, does not participate in the vote on discharge of the Supervisory Board. Members of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board may be removed only by a resolution of the shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA with a majority of three quarters of the votes cast at such general meeting. Fresenius SE is barred from voting on such resolutions. The Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA ordinarily acts by simple majority vote and the Chairman has a tie-breaking vote in case of any deadlock.

The principal function of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA is to oversee the management of the Company but, in this function, the supervisory board of a partnership limited by shares has less power and scope for influence than the supervisory board of a stock corporation. The Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA is not entitled to appoint the General Partner or its executive bodies, nor may it subject the general partner’s management measures to its consent or issue rules of procedure for the general partner. Only the supervisory board of Management AG, elected solely by Fresenius SE, has the authority to appoint or remove members of the General

Partner’s Management Board. See Item 16.G, “Governance — The Legal Structure of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA” in our 2014 20-F. Among other matters, the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA will, together with the general partner, fix the agenda for the AGM and make recommendations with respect to approval of the Company’s financial statements and dividend proposals. The Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA will also propose nominees for election as members of its Supervisory Board. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee also recommends to the Supervisory Board a candidate as the Company’s auditors to audit our German statutory financial statements to be proposed by the Supervisory Board to our shareholders for approval and, as required by the SEC and NYSE audit committee rules, retains the services of our independent auditors to audit our U.S. GAAP financial statements.

Governance Matters and Board Practices

As a German company FMC-AG & Co. KGaA follows German corporate governance practices. German corporate governance practices generally derive from the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, or “AktG”) including capital market related laws, the German Codetermination Act (Mitbestimmungsgesetz, or “MitBestG”) and the German Corporate Governance Code. Our Articles of Association also include provisions affecting our corporate governance. German standards differ from the corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic companies which have been adopted by the NYSE. See Item 16.G, “Governance,’ in our 2014 20-F, for information regarding our organizational structure, management arrangements and governance, including information regarding the legal structure of a KGaA, management by a general partner, certain provisions of our Articles of Association and the role of the Supervisory Board in monitoring the management of our company by our General Partner. Item 16.G of our 2014 20-F includes a brief, general summary of the principal differences between German and U.S. corporate governance practices, together with, as appropriate, a comparison to U.S. principles or practices.

For information relating to the terms of office of the Management Board and the supervisory board of the General Partner, Management AG, and of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, and the periods in which the members of those bodies have served in office, see item (iii), “Directors and Senior Management— General,” above. For information regarding certain compensation payable to certain members of the General Partner’s Management Board after termination of employment, Management Board and the Supervisory Board — Commitments to Members of Management for the Event of the Termination of their Employment,” below. Determination of the compensation system and of the compensation to be granted to the members of the Management Board is made by the full supervisory board of Management AG. It is assisted in these matters, particularly evaluation and assessment of the compensation of the members of the General Partner’s management board, by the Human Resources Committee of the General Partner’s supervisory board, the members of which are

Dr. Ulf M. Schneider (Chairman), Dr. Gerd Krick (Vice Chairman), Mr. William P. Johnston and Dr. Walter L. Weisman.

The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA consisted of Dr. Walter L. Weisman (Chairman), Prof. Dr. Bernd Fahrholz (Vice Chairman), Dr. Gerd Krick and Mr. William P. Johnston, all of whom are independent directors for purposes of SEC Rule 10A-3. The primary function of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee is to assist FMC-AG & Co. KGaA’s Supervisory Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, primarily through:

· overseeing management’s accounting and financial reporting process, the internal performance of the internal audit function and the effectiveness of the financial control systems;

· overseeing the independence and performance of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA’s outside auditors

· overseeing the effectiveness of our systems and processes utilized to comply with relevant legal and regulatory standards for global healthcare companies, including adherence to our Code of Business Conduct;

· overseeing the effectiveness of our internal risk management system;

· overseeing our corporate governance performance according to the German Corporate Governance Code;

· providing an avenue of communication among the outside auditors, management and the Supervisory Board;

· overseeing our relationship with Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA and its affiliates and reviewing the report of our General Partner on relations with related parties and for reporting to the overall Supervisory Board thereon;

· recommending to the Supervisory Board a candidate as independent auditors to audit our German statutory financial statements (to be proposed by the Supervisory Board for approval by our shareholders at our AGM) and approval of their fees;

· retaining the services of our independent auditors to audit our U.S. GAAP financial statements and approval of their fees; and

· pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG, our independent auditors.

The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee has also been in charge of conducting the internal investigation described in Item 15B, “Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting” in our 2014 20-F.

In connection with the settlement of the shareholder proceedings contesting the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) held August 30, 2005 that approved the transformation, the conversion of our preference shares into ordinary shares and related matters, we established a joint committee (the “Joint Committee”) (gemeinsamer Ausschuss) of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA consisting of two members designated by each supervisory board to advise and decide on certain extraordinary management measures, including:

· transactions between us and Fresenius SE with a value in excess of 0.25% of our consolidated revenue, and

· acquisitions and sales of significant participations and parts of our business, the spin-off of significant parts of our business, initial public offerings of significant subsidiaries and similar matters. A matter is “significant” for purposes of this approval requirement if 40% of our consolidated revenues, our consolidated balance sheet total assets or consolidated profits, determined by reference to the arithmetic average of the said amounts shown in our audited consolidated accounts for the previous three fiscal years, are affected by the matter.

Furthermore, a nomination committee prepares candidate proposals for the supervisory board and suggests suitable candidates to supervisory board and for its nomination prospects to the General Meeting. The nomination committee consisted of Dr. Gerd Krick (Chairman), Dr. Walter L. Weisman, Dr. Dieter Schenk.

The supervisory board of our General Partner, Management AG, is supported by a Regulatory and Reimbursement Assessment Committee (the “RRAC”) whose members were Mr. William P. Johnston (Chairman),

Mr. Rolf A. Classon (Vice-Chairman) and Dr. Dieter Schenk. The primary function of the RRAC is to assist and to represent the board in fulfilling its responsibilities, primarily through assessing the Company’s affairs in the area of its regulatory obligations and reimbursement structures for dialysis services. In the United States, these reimbursement regulations are mandated by the HHS and CMS for dialysis services. Similar regulatory agencies exist country by country in the International regions to address the conditions for payment of dialysis treatments. Furthermore, the supervisory board of Management AG has its own nomination committee, which consisted of Dr. Ulf. M. Schneider (Chairman), Dr. Gerd Krick and Dr. Walter L. Weisman.

We are exempt from the NYSE rule requiring companies listed on that exchange to maintain compensation committees consisting of independent directors. See Item 16G, “Corporate Governance” in our 2014 20-F.

(iv) Compensation of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board

Report of the Management Board of Management AG, our General Partner

The compensation report of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA summarizes the main elements of the compensation system for the members of the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, the general partner of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and in this regard notably explains the amounts and structure of the compensation paid to the Management Board. Furthermore, the principles and the amount of the remuneration of the Supervisory Board are described. The compensation report is part of the management report of the annual financial statements and the annual consolidated group financial statements of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA as of December 31, 2014. The compensation report is prepared on the basis of the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code and also includes the disclosures as required pursuant to the applicable statutory regulations, notably in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB).

Compensation of the Management Board

The entire Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG is responsible for determining the compensation of the Management Board. The Supervisory Board is assisted in this task by a personnel committee, the Human Resources Committee. In the fiscal year, the Human Resources Committee was composed of Dr. Ulf M. Schneider (Chairman), Dr. Gerd Krick (Vice Chairman), Mr. William P. Johnston and Dr. Walter L. Weisman. See Item 16G, “Corporate Governance” in our 2014 20-F.

The current Management Board compensation system was last approved by resolution of the General Meeting of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA on May 12, 2011 with a majority of 99.71% of the votes cast. Furthermore, this compensation system is reviewed by an independent external compensation expert at the beginning of each fiscal year.

The objective of the compensation system is to enable the members of the Management Board to participate reasonably in the sustainable development of the Company’s business and to reward them based on their duties and performance as well as their success in managing the Company’s economic and financial position giving due regard to the peer environment.

The amount of the total compensation of the members of the Management Board is measured taking particular account of relevant reference values of other DAX-listed companies and similar companies of comparable size and performance in the relevant industry sector.

The compensation of the Management Board is, as a whole, performance-based and consisted of three components in the fiscal year:

· non-performance-based compensation (fixed compensation and fringe benefits)

· short-term performance-based compensation (one-year variable compensation)

· components with long-term incentive effects (multi-year variable compensation, consisting of stock options and share-based compensations with cash settlement)

The individual components are designed on the basis of the following criteria:

In the fiscal year, the fixed compensation paid in Germany or Hong Kong, as the case may be, was divided in twelve equal instalments and the fixed compensation paid in the U.S. was divided in twenty-four equal instalments, in each case as base salary. Moreover, the members of the Management Board received additional benefits consisting mainly of payment for insurance premiums, the private use of company cars, special payments such as rent supplements, school fees, reimbursement of fees for the preparation of tax returns and reimbursement of certain other charges and additional contributions to pension and health insurance.

Performance-based compensation will also be awarded for the fiscal year as a short-term cash component (one-year variable compensation) and as components with long-term incentive effects (stock options and share-based compensations with cash settlement). The share-based compensations with cash settlement consist of phantom stocks and of the so-called Share Based Award.

The amount of the one-year variable compensation and of the Share Based Award depends on the achievement of the following individual and common targets:

· Net income growth

· Free cash flow (net cash provided by (used in) operating activities after Capital Expenditures, before Acquisitions and Investments) in percent of revenue

· Operating income margin

The level of achievement of these targets is derived from the comparison of target amounts and actual results. Furthermore, targets are divided into Group level targets and those to be achieved in individual regions. Lastly, the various target parameters are weighted differently by their relative share in the aggregate amount of variable compensation depending on the respective (regional and/or sectoral) areas of responsibility assumed by the members of the Management Board.

The respective minimum level of Net income growth to be achieved was at least 6% for the fiscal year, with the maximum bonus payable upon achievement of Net income growth of 15%. Furthermore, the members of the Management Board were also evaluated by reference to the development of free cash flow within the Group or, with respect to members of the Management Board with regional responsibilities, in the relevant regions, respectively, during the fiscal year, with the targets being within a range of rates between 3% and 6% of the respective free cash flow in percent of revenue. For Board members without Group functions, growth of regional operating income margins within the fiscal year was compensated within individual targets ranging between 13% and 18.5%, individually reflecting the particularities of the respective Board responsibilities.

The targets are, as a rule, weighted differently depending on whether the Management Board member exercises Group functions — in the fiscal year, these are Mr. Rice Powell, Mr. Michael Brosnan and Dr. Rainer Runte1 — or whether the Management Board member is responsible for regional earnings — in the fiscal year, these are Mr. Roberto Fusté, Prof. Emanuele Gatti1, Mr. Ronald Kuerbitz and Mr. Dominik Wehner2 — or have taken on specific Management Board responsibilities without Group functions — such as Mr. Kent Wanzek for Global Manufacturing Operations and Dr. Olaf Schermeier for Research & Development. For members of the Management Board with Group functions, Net income growth accounts for 80% and is thus weighted higher than for the other members of the Management Board, where Net income growth accounts for 60%. For members of the Management Board without Group functions, a further 20% is based upon the evaluation of the operating income margin. Achievement of the target for free cash flow in percent of revenue is weighted for all members of the Management Board equally at 20%.

Multiplying the level of target achievement by the respective fixed compensation and another fixed multiplier provides a total amount, of which a 75% share is paid out in cash to the Management Board members (one-year variable compensation) after approval of the annual financial statements of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA for the previous

fiscal year. Since the maximum level of target achievement is set at 120%, the Management Board’s maximum achievable one-year variable compensation is limited as regards specific amounts.

(1) pro rata temporis

(2) The payment of a discretionary bonus to Messrs. Powell, Brosnan and Kuerbitz is not included in the maximum amount indicated for the one-year variable compensation.

The remaining share, amounting to 25% of the total amount calculated according to the key data above, is granted to the members of the Management Board in the form of the so-called Share Based Award, which is included in components with long-term incentive effects. The Share Based Award is subject to a three-year waiting period, although a shorter period may apply in special cases (e.g. professional incapacity, entry into retirement, non-renewal by the Company of expired service agreements). The amount of the cash payment of the Share Based Award is based on the share price of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA shares upon exercise after the three-year waiting period.

In determining the variable compensation, it is ensured that performance-based components with long-term incentive effects (i.e. the Share Based Award as well as the stock option and phantom stock components described below) are granted in amounts which constitute at least 50% of the sum of all one- and multi-year variable components for the respective fiscal year. Should this turn out not to be the case mathematically, the Management Board members’ contracts provide that the portion of variable compensation payable as one-year variable compensation shall be reduced and the portion payable as the Share Based Award correspondingly increased, in order to meet this requirement. The components with long-term incentive effects also contain a limitation possibility for cases of extraordinary developments. The Supervisory Board may also grant a discretionary bonus for extraordinary performance. For the fiscal year, the Supervisory Board has granted such discretionary bonus to Mr. Rice Powell, Mr. Michael Brosnan and Mr. Ronald Kuerbitz in the total amount of $1 million.

For the fiscal year and the previous year, the amount of cash compensation payments to members of the Management Board without components with long-term incentive effects consisted of the following:

	Amount of Cash Payments
	Non-Performance Related Compensation									Short-term Performance Related Compensation					Cash Compensation (without long-term

(1) Includes insurance premiums, private use of company cars, rent supplements, contributions to pension and health insurance and other benefits.

(2) Includes a discretionary bonus for fiscal year 2014 granted to Mr. Rice Powell in the amount of $500, to Mr. Michael Brosnan in the amount of $250 and to Mr. Ronald Kuerbitz in the amount of $250.

(3) Also included are payments and accruals the Company made in the context of holding Mr. Roberto Fusté harmless from certain adverse tax effects.

(4) In addition to the disclosed compensation, Prof. Emanuele Gatti received in the past fiscal year a fixed compensation in the amount of $747, other benefits in the amount of $116 as well as a short-term performance related compensation in the amount of $622, which were, however, only allocated to Prof. Gatti after his retirement from the Management Board.

(5) In addition to the disclosed compensation, Dr. Rainer Runte received in the past fiscal year a fixed compensation in the amount of $438, other benefits in the amount of $41 as well as a short-term performance related compensation in the amount of $299, which were, however, only allocated to Dr. Runte after his retirement from the Management Board.

In addition to the Share Based Award, stock options under the Company’s Stock Option Plan 2011 and phantom stock awards under the Phantom Stock Plan 2011 were granted to members of the Management Board as additional components with long-term incentive effects in the fiscal year. The Stock Option Plan 2011, together with the Phantom Stock Plan 2011, forms the Long Term Incentive Program 2011 (LTIP 2011).

In addition to the Members of the management boards of affiliated companies, managerial staff members of the Company and of certain affiliated companies the members of the Management Board are entitled to participate in LTIP 2011. Under LTIP 2011 a combination of stock options and phantom stock awards are granted to the participants. Stock options and phantom stock awards will be granted on specified grant days, no more than twice each fiscal year during the term of the LTIP 2011. The number of stock options and phantom stock awards to be granted to the members of the Management Board is determined by the Supervisory Board in its discretion. In principle all members of the Management Board are entitled to receive the same number of stock options and phantom stock awards, whereas the Chairman of the Management Board is entitled to receive double the granted quantity. At the time of the grant, the members of the Management Board can choose a ratio based on the value of the stock options vs. the value of phantom stock awards in a range between 75:25 and 50:50. The exercise of stock options and phantom stock awards is subject to several conditions, including the expiration of a four year waiting period, the consideration of black-out periods, the achievement of a defined success target and, subject to agreements to the contrary in individual cases, the existence of a service or employment relationship. Stock options may be exercised within four years and phantom stock awards within one year after the expiration of the waiting period. For Management Board members who are U.S. taxpayers specific conditions apply with respect to the exercise period of phantom stock awards. The success target for the members of the Management Board is achieved in each case if,

during the waiting period, either the adjusted basic income per share increases by at least eight per cent per annum in comparison to the previous year in each case or - if this is not the case - the compounded annual growth rate of the adjusted basic income per share during the four years of the waiting period reflects an increase of at least eight per cent per annum. If with regard to any reference year or more than one of the four reference years within the waiting period neither the adjusted basic income per share increases by at least eight per cent per annum in comparison to the previous year nor the compounded annual growth rate of the adjusted basic income per share during the four years of the waiting period reflects an increase of at least eight per cent per annum, the stock options and phantom stock awards subject to such waiting period are cancelled to such proportion to which the success target was not achieved within the waiting period, i.e. in the proportion of 25% for each year in which the target is not achieved within the waiting period, up to 100%.

Additional information regarding the basic principles of the LTIP 2011 and of the other employee participation programs in place at the beginning of the fiscal year and secured by conditional capital, which entitled their participants to convertible bonds or stock options (from which, however, in the past fiscal year no further options could be issued), are described in more detail in Note 17, “Stock Options,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 20-F, in item (v) below, “Options to Purchase Our Securities” and in Item 10.B, “Additional Information - Articles of Association - General Information Regarding Our Share Capital - Conditional Capital” in our 2014 20-F.

Under Stock Option Plan 2011 in the fiscal year 1,677,360 stock options were granted in total (2013: 2,141,076), with 273,900 stock options (2013: 328,680) granted to the Management Board members. Moreover, in the fiscal year 299,547 (2013: 186,392) phantom stock awards were granted under the Phantom Stock Plan 2011, of which 24,950 awards (2013: 25,006) were granted to Management Board members.

The exercise price for the stock options granted is $67.07 (€49.93) (2013: $66.03/€49.76). At the day of the grant, the relevant fair value of the phantom stocks issued in July of the fiscal year amounted to $62.14 (€46.26) (in July 2013: $59.62/€44.93).

At the end of the fiscal year, the members of the Management Board held a total of 1,485,076 stock options and convertible bonds (collectively referred to as “stock options”; 2013: 1,993,305 stock options). Also, they held a total of 66,960 phantom stocks (2013: 77,886).

Based on the targets achieved in the fiscal year, members of the Management Board serving as per December 31 of the fiscal year also earned entitlements to Share Based Awards totalling $833,000 (2013: $1.110 million). On the basis of that value, determination of the specific number of virtual shares will not be made by the Supervisory Board until March of the following year, based on the then current price of the shares of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA. This number will then serve as a multiplier for the share price on the relevant exercise day and as a base for calculation of the payment of this respective share-based compensation after expiry of the three-year waiting period.

Phantom stocks with a total value of $1.550 million (2013: $1.491 million) were granted to the Management Board members under the Company’s Phantom Stock Plan 2011 in July of the fiscal year as further share-based compensation components with cash settlement.

Therefore, the amount of the total compensation of the Management Board for the fiscal year and for the previous year is as shown in the following table:

Commitments to Members of the Management Board for the Event of the Termination of their Appointment

The following pension commitments and other benefits are also part of the compensation system for the members of the Management Board: individual contractual pension commitments for the Management Board members Mr. Rice Powell, Mr. Roberto Fusté, Prof. Emanuele Gatti3, Dr. Rainer Runte3, Mr. Michael Brosnan and Mr. Kent Wanzek have been entered into by Fresenius Medical Care Management AG. In addition, pension commitments from the participation in employee pension schemes of other Fresenius Medical Care companies exist for individual members of the Management Board. Under all of these commitments, aggregate pension obligations for managing board members serving as of December 31 of the fiscal year of $21.614 million (2013: $25.687 million) exist as of the end of the fiscal year.

Each of the pension commitments by Fresenius Medical Care Management AG provides for a pension and survivor benefit as of the time of conclusively ending active work, at age 65 at the earliest (at age 60 at the earliest with respect to Prof. Emanuele Gatti and at age 63 at the earliest with respect to Dr. Rainer Runte) or upon occurrence of disability or incapacity to work (Berufs- oder Erwerbsunfähigkeit), however, calculated by reference to the amount of the recipient’s most recent base salary.

The retirement pension will be based on 30% of the last fixed compensation and will increase for each complete year of service by 1.5 percentage points up to a maximum of 45%. Current pensions increase according to legal requirements (Sec. 16 of the German Act to improve company pension plans, “BetrAVG”). 30% of the gross amount of any post-retirement income from an activity of the Management Board member is offset against the pension obligation. Any amounts to which the Management Board members or their surviving dependents, respectively, are entitled from other company pension rights of the Management Board member, even from service agreements with other companies, are also to be set off. If a Management Board member dies, the surviving spouse receives a pension

amounting to 60% of the resulting pension claim at that time. Furthermore, the deceased Management Board member’s own legitimate children (leibliche eheliche Kinder) receive an orphan’s pension amounting to 20% of the resulting pension claim at that time, until the completion of their education or they reach 25 years of age, at the latest. All orphans’ pensions and the spousal pension together reach a maximum of 90% of the Management Board member’s pension, however. If a Management Board member leaves the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG before reaching the age of 65 (or, in the case of Prof. Gatti, the age of 60 and, in the case of Dr. Runte, the age of 63), except in the event of a disability or incapacity to work (Berufs- oder Erwerbsunfähigkeit), the rights to the aforementioned benefits remain, although the pension to be paid is reduced in proportion to the ratio of the actual years of service as a Management Board member to the potential years of service until reaching the age of 65 (or, in the case of Prof. Gatti, the age of 60 and, in the case of Dr. Runte, the age of 63).

Management Board members Mr. Rice Powell, Mr. Michael Brosnan, Mr. Ronald Kuerbitz and Mr. Kent Wanzek participated in the U.S.-based 401(k) savings plan in the fiscal year. This plan generally allows employees in the U.S. to invest a portion of their gross salaries in retirement pension programs. The Company supports this investment, for full-time employees with at least one year of service, with a contribution of 50% of the investment made, up to a limit of 6% of income - whereupon the allowance paid by the Company is limited to 3% of the income - or a maximum of $17,500 ($23,500 for employees 50 years of age or older). The aforementioned Management Board members were each contractually enabled to participate in this plan; in the past fiscal year the Company paid out $7,800 (2013: $7,650) respectively in this regard.

Furthermore, the Management Board members Mr. Rice Powell, Mr. Michael Brosnan and Mr. Ronald Kuerbitz have acquired non-forfeitable benefits from participation in employee pension plans of Fresenius Medical Care North America, which provide payment of pensions as of the age of 65 and the payment of reduced benefits as of the age of 55. In March 2002, the rights to receive benefits from the pension plans were frozen at the level then applicable.

From the time of his previous employment activities, Management Board member Mr. Dominik Wehner exclusively has a pension commitment from Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH. This pension commitment was not affected by the service agreement for the Management Board position with Fresenius Medical Care Management AG beginning on April 1, 2014. It is based on the Fresenius companies’ pension scheme of January 1, 1988 and provides old-age pensions, disability pensions and surviving dependents’ pensions. It does not provide for any offsetting mechanisms against other income or pension payments. The spousal pension amounts to 60% of the disability pension or old-age pension to be granted at the time of death; the orphan’s pension amounts to 10% (semi-orphans) or 20% (orphans) of the disability pension or old-age pension to be granted at the time of death. The claims of all surviving dependents are limited to a total of 100% of Mr. Dominik Wehner’s pension entitlements.

Additions to pension provisions in the fiscal year for managing board members serving as of December 31 amounted to $6.000 million (2013: $5.678 million). The pension commitments are shown in the following table:

A post-employment non-competition covenant was agreed upon with all Management Board members. If such covenant becomes applicable, the Management Board members receive compensation amounting to half of their respective annual fixed compensation for each year of respective application of the non-competition covenant, up to a maximum of two years. The employment contracts of the Management Board members contain no express provisions that are triggered by a change of control of the Company.

Miscellaneous

All members of the Management Board have received individual contractual commitments for the continuation of their compensation in cases of sickness for a maximum of 12 months, although after six months of sick leave, insurance benefits may be set off against such payments. If a Management Board member dies, the surviving dependents will be paid three more monthly instalments after the month of death, not to exceed, however, the amount due between the time of death and the scheduled expiration of the agreement.

In the context of Prof. Emanuele Gatti’s retirement from his position as member of the Management Board as of March 31, 2014, Prof. Gatti and Fresenius Medical Care Management AG have agreed that Prof. Gatti’s service agreement will continue to be effective until the end of the agreed term on April 30, 2015. Until this point in time, Prof. Gatti will continue to receive the compensation he is entitled to under his service agreement, i.e. a fixed compensation and fringe benefits as well as one-year and multi-year variable compensation components. With regard to the end of the term of the service agreement on April 30, 2015, such compensation will only be granted proportionately for fiscal year 2015. The long-term incentive components granted to Prof. Gatti on the basis of the LTIP 2011 are not affected by his retirement from the Management Board. The payment of the Share Based Awards earned by Prof. Gatti for the reference years 2009 and 2010 was already made in the fiscal year, whereas the entitlements for fiscal years 2011 to 2014 will be paid to Prof. Gatti within 60 days following the end of the term of his service agreement. Upon reaching the age of 60, Prof. Gatti is entitled to receive an occupational old-age pension in the amount of approximately $409,000 per annum. On occasion of his retirement from the Management Board, Prof. Gatti further agreed to serve as an advisor to the Chairman of the Management Board and to be subject to a post-employment non-competition obligation for the duration of two years following the end of the term of his service agreement, i.e. until April 30, 2017, for which he will receive an annual non-compete compensation of approximately $591,000. The type and amounts of the individual benefits granted and allocations made to Prof. Gatti within the fiscal year are presented in the tables below.

In the context of Dr. Rainer Runte’s retirement from his position as member of the Management Board, also as of March 31, 2014, Dr. Runte and Fresenius Medical Care Management AG have agreed that Dr. Runte’s service agreement will continue to be effective until the end of the agreed term December 31, 2014. Dr. Runte will continue to receive the compensation he is entitled to under his service agreement, i.e. a fixed compensation and fringe benefits as well as the one-year variable compensation component for the fiscal year. The long-term variable compensation components granted to Dr. Runte on the basis of the LTIP 2011 are not affected by his retirement from the Management Board. The payment of the Share Based Awards earned by Dr. Runte for the reference years 2009 and 2010 was already made in the fiscal year, whereas the entitlements for fiscal years 2011 to 2014 have been paid to Dr. Runte within 60 days following the end of the term of his service agreement. The pension benefits agreed upon in the service agreement were adjusted to the effect that they will be paid upon reaching the age of 63 whereas the amount payable is limited to approximately 75 % of the benefits originally agreed upon (this amounts to approximately $181,000 per annum). On occasion of his retirement from the Management Board, Dr. Runte further agreed to be subject to a post-employment non-competition obligation for the duration of two years following the end of the term of his service agreement, i.e. until December 31, 2016, for which he will receive an annual non-compete compensation of approximately $590,000. The type and amounts of the individual benefits granted and allocations made to Dr. Runte within the fiscal year are presented in the tables below.

With Dr. Ben Lipps, the Chairman of the Management Board until December 31, 2012, there is an individual agreement instead of a pension provision, to the effect that, upon termination of his employment contract/service agreement with Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, he will be retained to render consulting services to the Company for a period of ten years. Accordingly, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG and Dr. Ben Lipps entered into a consulting agreement for the period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2022. By this consulting agreement Dr. Ben Lipps will provide consulting services on certain fields and within a specified time frame as well as complying with a non-compete covenant. The annual consideration to be granted by Fresenius Medical Care Management AG for such services amounts for the fiscal year $656,000 (including reimbursement of expenses). The present value of this agreement (including pension payments for the surviving spouse in case of death) amounted to $4.537 million as at December 31 of the fiscal year.

In the fiscal year, no loans or advance payments of future compensation components were made to members of the Management Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG.

The payments to U.S. Management Board members Mr. Rice Powell, Mr. Michael Brosnan and Mr. Kent Wanzek were paid in part in the U.S. (in USD) and in part in Germany (in EUR). For the part paid in Germany, the Company has agreed that due to varying tax rates in both countries, the increased tax burden to such Management Board members arising from German tax rates in comparison to U.S. tax rates will be balanced (net compensation). Pursuant to a modified net compensation agreement, these Management Board members will be treated as if they were taxed in their home country, the United States, only. Therefore the gross amounts may be retroactively changed. Since the actual tax burden can only be calculated in connection with the preparation of the Board members’ tax returns, subsequent adjustments may have to be made, which will then be retroactively covered in future compensation reports. Furthermore, a compensation agreement has been entered into between FMC-AG & Co KGaA, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG and Roberto Fusté, pursuant to which Mr. Fusté is held harmless from certain adverse tax effects which result from an external wage tax audit for the assessment period 2005 to 2007. The payments made in the fiscal year by the Company in this context amounted to $1.456 million; in the fiscal year, the Company has furthermore made payments to compensate Mr. Fusté for adverse tax effects for the assessment periods 2008 to 2010 as well as 2014 in the amount of $1.134 million and has also made provisions in the total amount of $937,000 with a view to potential additional compensation payments.

To the extent permitted by law, Fresenius Medical Care Management AG undertook to indemnify the members of the Management Board against claims against them arising out of their work for the Company and its affiliates, if such claims exceed their liability under German law. To secure such obligations, the Company has obtained Directors & Officers liability insurance carrying a deductible which complies with the requirements of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The indemnity applies for the time in which each member of the Management Board is in office and for claims in this connection after termination of membership on the Management Board in each case.

Former members of the Management Board did not receive any compensation in the fiscal year other than that mentioned above. As of December 31 of the fiscal year, pension obligations towards this group of persons exist in an amount of $16.383 million (2013: $2 million).

Compensation of the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care & Co. KGaA and Supervisory Board of Management AG

The compensation of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board is set out in clause 13 of the Articles of Association.

In accordance with this provision, the members of the Supervisory Board are to be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in the exercise of their offices, which also include the applicable VAT.

As compensation, each Supervisory Board member receives in the first instance a fixed salary of $80,000 per respective complete fiscal year, payable in four equal instalments at the end of a calendar quarter. Should the General

Meeting resolve on a higher compensation, with a majority of three-fourths of the votes cast and taking the annual results into account, such compensation shall apply.

The chairman of the Supervisory Board receives additional compensation of $80,000 and his deputy additional compensation of $40,000 per respective complete fiscal year. In addition, each member of the Supervisory Board shall also receive as a variable performance-related compensation component an additional remuneration which is based upon the respective average growth in basic earnings per share of the Company (EPS) during the period of the last three fiscal years prior to the payment date (3-year average EPS growth). The amount of the variable remuneration component is $60,000 in case of achieving a 3-year average EPS growth corridor from 8.00 to 8.99%, $70,000 in the corridor from 9.00 to 9.99% and $80,000 in case of a growth of 10.00% or more. If the aforementioned targets are reached, the respective variable remuneration amounts are earned to their full extent, i.e. within these margins there is no pro rata remuneration. In any case, this variable component is limited to a maximum of $80,000 per annum. Reciprocally, the members of the supervisory board are only entitled to the variable remuneration component if the 3 year average EPS growth of at least 8.00% is reached. The variable remuneration component, based on the target achievement, is in principle disbursed on a yearly basis, namely following approval of the Company’s annual financial statements, this for the fiscal year 2014 based on the 3-year average EPS growth for the fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014.

In application of the principles above, a variable performance-related compensation component was not generated for either the year 2013 or for the year 2014.

As a member of a committee, a Supervisory Board member of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA additionally annually receives $40,000, or, as chairman or vice chairman of a committee, $60,000 or $50,000, respectively payable in identical instalments at the end of a calendar quarter. For memberships in the Nomination Committee and in the Joint Committee as well as in the capacity of their respective chairmen and deputy chairmen, no separate remuneration shall be granted.

Should a member of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board be a member of the Supervisory Board of the General Partner Fresenius Medical Care Management AG at the same time, and receive compensation for his work on the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, the compensation for the work as a FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board member shall be reduced by half. The same applies to the additional compensation for the chairman of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board and his deputy, to the extent that they are at the same time chairman and deputy, respectively, of the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG. If the deputy chairman of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board is at the same time chairman of the Supervisory Board at Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, he shall receive no additional compensation for his work as deputy chairman of the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Supervisory Board to this extent.

The compensation for the Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG and the compensation for its committees were charged to FMC-AG & Co. KGaA in accordance with section 7 paragraph 3 of the Articles of Association of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA.

The total compensation of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA including the amount charged by Fresenius Medical Care Management AG to FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, is listed in the following tables, with the table immediately positioned hereinafter displaying the fixed compensation, whilst the subsequent table sets out the performance related compensation:

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA Long Term Incentive Program 2011

On May 12, 2011, the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Stock Option Plan 2011 (“2011 SOP”) was established by resolution of the AGM. The 2011 SOP, together with the Phantom Stock Plan 2011, which was established by resolution of the General Partner’s management and supervisory boards, forms the Company’s Long Term Incentive Program 2011 (“2011 LTIP”). Under the 2011 LTIP, participants will be granted awards, which will consist of a combination of stock options and phantom stock. Awards under the 2011 LTIP will be granted over a five-year period and can be granted on the last Monday in July and/or the first Monday in December each year. Prior to the respective grant, the participants will be able to choose how much of the granted value is granted in the form of stock options and phantom stock in a predefined range of 75:25 to 50:50, stock options v. phantom stock. The amount of phantom stock that plan participants may choose to receive instead of stock options within the aforementioned predefined range is determined on the basis of a fair value assessment pursuant to a binomial model. With respect to grants made in July, this fair value assessment will be conducted on the day following the AGM and with respect to the grants made in December, on the first Monday in October.

Members of the Management Board of the General Partner, members of the management boards of the Company’s affiliated companies and the managerial staff members of the Company and of certain affiliated companies are entitled to participate in the 2011 LTIP. With respect to participants who are members of the General Partner’s Management Board, the General Partner’s supervisory board has sole authority to grant awards and exercise other decision making powers under the 2011 LTIP (including decisions regarding certain adjustments and forfeitures). The General Partner has such authority with respect to all other participants in the 2011 LTIP.

The awards under the 2011 LTIP are subject to a four-year vesting period. The vesting of the awards granted is subject to achievement of performance targets measured over a four-year period beginning with the first day of the year of the grant. For each such year, the performance target is achieved if the Company’s adjusted basic income per ordinary share (“Adjusted EPS”), as calculated in accordance with the 2011 LTIP, increases by at least 8% year over year during the vesting period or, if this is not the case, the compounded annual growth rate of the Adjusted EPS reflects an increase of at least 8% per year of the Adjusted EPS during the four-year vesting period. At the end of the vesting period, one-fourth of the awards granted is forfeited for each year in which the performance target is not achieved. All awards are considered vested if the compounded annual growth rate of the Adjusted EPS reflects an

increase of at least 8% per year during the four-year vesting period. Vesting of the portion or portions of a grant for a year or years in which the performance target is met does not occur until completion of the four-year vesting period.

The 2011 LTIP was established with a conditional capital increase up to €12,000,000 subject to the issue of up to twelve million non-par value bearer ordinary shares with a nominal value of €1.00, each of which can be exercised to obtain one ordinary share. Of these twelve million shares, up to two million stock options are designated for members of the Management Board of the General Partner, up to two and a half million stock options are designated for members of management boards of direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company and up to seven and a half million stock options are designated for managerial staff members of the Company and such subsidiaries. The Company may issue new shares to fulfill the stock option obligations or the Company may issue shares that it has acquired or which the Company itself has in its own possession.

The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2011 LTIP shall be the average stock exchange price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 30 calendar days immediately prior to each grant date. Stock options granted under the 2011 LTIP have an eight-year term and can be exercised only after a four-year vesting period. Stock options granted under the 2011 LTIP to US participants are non-qualified stock options under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Options under the 2011 LTIP are not transferable by a participant or a participant’s heirs, and may not be pledged, assigned, or disposed of otherwise.

Phantom stock under the 2011 LTIP entitles the holders to receive payment in Euro from the Company upon exercise of the phantom stock. The payment per phantom share in lieu of the issuance of such stock shall be based upon the stock exchange price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of one of the Company’s Ordinary shares on the exercise date. Phantom stock will have a five-year term and can be exercised only after a four-year vesting period, beginning with the grant date. For participants who are U.S. tax payers, the phantom stock is deemed to be exercised in any event in the March following the end of the vesting period.

Incentive plan

In 2014, the Management Board was eligible for performance—related compensation that depended upon achievement of targets. The targets are measured by reference to operating income margin, net income growth and free cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures before acquisitions and investments) in percentage of revenue, and are derived from the comparison of targeted and actually achieved current year figures. Targets are divided into Group level targets and those to be achieved in individual regions and areas of responsibility.

Those performance-related bonuses for fiscal year 2014 will consist proportionately of a cash component and a share-based component which will be paid in cash. Upon meeting the annual targets, the cash component will be paid after the end of 2014. The share-based component is subject to a three- or four-year vesting period, although a shorter period may apply in special cases. The amount of cash for the payment relating to the share-based component shall be based on the closing share price of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA ordinary shares upon exercise. The amount of the achievable bonus for each of the members of the Management Board is capped.

The share-based compensation incurred under these plans for years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $ 1.0 million, $ 1.1 million and $ 2.8 million, respectively.

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA Stock Option Plan 2006 and prior plans

On May 9, 2006, as amended on May 15, 2007 for a three-for-one share split (the “Share Split”), the FMC-AG & Co. KGaA Stock Option Plan 2006 (the “Amended 2006 Plan”) was established by resolution of our AGM with a conditional capital increase up to €15,000,000 subject to the issue of up to fifteen million no par value bearer ordinary shares with a nominal value of €1.00 each. Under the Amended 2006 Plan, up to fifteen million options can be issued, each of which can be exercised to obtain one ordinary share, with up to three million options designated for members of the management board, up to three million options designated for members of management boards of direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company and up to nine million options designated for managerial staff members of the Company and such subsidiaries. With respect to participants who are members of the Management Board, the General Partner’s supervisory board has sole authority to grant stock options and exercise other decision

making powers under the Amended 2006 Plan (including decisions regarding certain adjustments and forfeitures). The Management Board has such authority with respect to all other participants in the Amended 2006 Plan.

Options under the Amended 2006 Plan were granted the last Monday in July and/or the first Monday in December. The exercise price of options granted under the Amended 2006 Plan shall be the average closing price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of our ordinary shares during the 30 calendar days immediately prior to each grant date. Options granted under the Amended 2006 Plan have a seven-year term but can be exercised only after a three-year vesting period. The vesting of options granted is subject to achievement of performance targets, measured over a three-year period from the grant date. For each such year, the performance target is achieved if our adjusted basic income per ordinary share (“EPS”), as calculated in accordance with the Amended 2006 Plan, increases by at least 8% year over year during the vesting period, beginning with EPS for the year of grant as compared to EPS for the year preceding such grant. Calculation of EPS under the Amended 2006 Plan excludes, among other items, the costs of the transformation of our legal form to a KGaA and the conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares. For each grant, one-third of the options granted are forfeited for each year in which EPS does not meet or exceed the 8% target. The performance targets for 2013, 2012, and 2011 were met but the options that vested will not be exercisable until expiration of the full 3-year vesting period of each year’s grants. Vesting of the portion or portions of a grant for a year or years in which the performance target is met does not occur until completion of the entire three-year vesting period. The last grant under the Amended 2006 Plan took place on December 6, 2010. No further grants are possible under the Amended 2006 Plan. For information regarding options granted to each member of the Management Board, see Item v, “- Compensation of the Management Board” above.

Options granted under the Amended 2006 Plan to U.S. participants are non-qualified stock options under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Options under the Amended 2006 Plan are not transferable by a participant or a participant’s heirs, and may not be pledged, assigned, or otherwise disposed of.

At December 31, 2014, we had awards outstanding under the terms of various prior stock-based compensation plans, including the 2001 plan. Under the 2001 plan as amended on May 16, 2013 for a conversion of preference shares to ordinary shares, convertible bonds with a principal of up to €10,240,000 were issued to the members of the Management Board and other employees of the Company initially representing grants for up to 4 million non-voting Preference shares. Following the Share Split in 2007 and the conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares in 2013, the convertible bonds have a par value of €0.85, bear interest at a rate of 5.5% and are entitled to convert into ordinary shares instead of non-voting preference shares. Except for the members of the Management Board, eligible employees were able to purchase the bonds by issuing a non-recourse note with terms corresponding to the terms of and secured by the bond. We have the right to offset our obligation on a bond against the employee’s obligation on the related note; therefore, the convertible bond obligations and employee note receivables represent stock options we issued and are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The options expire in ten years and one third of each grant can be exercised beginning after two, three or four years from the date of the grant. Bonds issued to Board members who did not issue a note to us are recognized as a liability on our balance sheet.

Upon issuance of the option, the employees had the right to choose options with or without a stock price target. The conversion price of options subject to a stock price target becomes the stock exchange quoted price of the ordinary shares upon the first time the stock exchange quoted price exceeds the initial value by at least 25%. The initial value (“Initial Value”) is the average price of the shares during the last 30 trading days prior to the date of grant. In the case of options not subject to a stock price target, the number of convertible bonds awarded to the eligible employee would be 15% less than if the employee elected options subject to the stock price target. The conversion price of the options without a stock price target is the Initial Value, as adjusted in accordance to the Share Split. Each option entitles the holder thereof, upon payment the respective conversion price, to acquire one ordinary share. Up to 20% of the total amount available for the issuance of awards under the 2001 plan could be issued each year through May 22, 2006. Effective May 2006, no further grants could be issued under the 2001 plan.

At December 31, 2014, the Management Board members held 1,485,076 stock options for Ordinary shares and employees of the Company held 7,704,555 stock options for ordinary shares with an average remaining contractual life of 4.59 years and 2,539,493 exercisable ordinary options at a weighted average exercise price of $45.38.

(vi) Material Transactions between FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and its Subsidiaries and Directors, Officers and Controlling Persons of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA

In connection with the formation of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, and the combination of the dialysis businesses of Fresenius SE and W.R. Grace & Co. in 1996, Fresenius SE and its affiliates and FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and its affiliates entered into several agreements for the purpose of giving effect to the Merger and defining our ongoing relationship. Fresenius SE and W.R. Grace & Co. negotiated these agreements. The information below summarizes the material aspects of certain agreements, arrangements and transactions between FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and Fresenius SE and their affiliates. The following descriptions are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to those agreements, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. We believe that the leases, the supply agreements and the service agreements are no less favorable to us and no more favorable to Fresenius SE than would have been obtained in arm’s-length bargaining between independent parties. The trademark and other intellectual property agreements summarized below were negotiated by Fresenius SE and W.R. Grace & Co., and, taken independently, are not necessarily indicative of market terms.

Dr. Gerd Krick, Chairman of our Supervisory Board, is also a member of the supervisory board of our General Partner as well as Chairman of the supervisory board of Fresenius SE and Chairman of the supervisory board of its general partner, Fresenius Management SE. Dr. Dieter Schenk, Vice Chairman of the supervisory board of our General Partner and of the Supervisory Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, is also Vice Chairman of the supervisory board of Fresenius Management SE, and Dr. Ulf M. Schneider, Chairman of the supervisory board of our General Partner and a former member of the Management Board of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, is Chairman of the management board of Fresenius Management SE. Mr. Rolf A. Classon, Dr. Walter L. Weisman and Mr. William P. Johnston are members of both our Supervisory Board and our general partner’s supervisory board.

In the discussion below regarding our contractual and other relationships with Fresenius SE:

· the term “we (or us) and our affiliates” refers only to FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and its subsidiaries; and

· the term “Fresenius SE and its affiliates” refers only to Fresenius SE and affiliates of Fresenius SE other than FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and its subsidiaries.

Real Property Lease

We did not acquire the land and buildings in Germany that Fresenius Worldwide Dialysis used when we were formed in 1996. Fresenius SE or its affiliates have leased part of the real property to us, directly, and transferred the remainder of that real property to two limited partnerships. Fresenius SE is the sole limited partner of each partnership, and the sole shareholder of the general partner of each partnership. These limited partnerships, as landlords, have leased the properties to us and to our affiliates, as applicable, for use in our respective businesses. The aggregate annual rent payable by us under these leases is approximately €21.0 million, which was approximately $27.9 million for the period ended December 31, 2014, exclusive of maintenance and other costs, and is subject to escalation, based upon development of the German consumer-price-index determined by the Federal Statistical Office (Statistisches Bundesamt). The leases for manufacturing facilities have a ten-year term, followed by two successive optional renewal terms of ten years each at our election. The leases for the other facilities have a term of ten years. The current option period for the lease agreements is set to expire in 2016. Based upon an appraisal, we believe that the rents under the leases represent fair market value for such properties. For information with respect to our principal properties in Germany, see “Item 4.D. Property, plants and equipment.”

Trademarks

Fresenius SE continues to own the name and mark “Fresenius” and its “F” logo. Fresenius SE and Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH, one of our German subsidiaries, have entered into agreements containing the following provisions. Fresenius SE has granted to our German subsidiary, for our benefit and that of our affiliates, an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use “Fresenius Medical Care” in our company names, and to use the Fresenius marks, including some combination marks containing the Fresenius name that were used by the worldwide dialysis business of Fresenius SE, and the “Fresenius Medical Care” name as a trade name, in all aspects of the renal business. Our German subsidiary, for our benefit and that of our affiliates, has also been granted a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license:

· to use the “Fresenius Medical Care” mark in the then current National Medical Care non-renal business if it is used as part of “Fresenius Medical Care” together with one or more descriptive words, such as “Fresenius Medical Care Home Care” or “Fresenius Medical Care Diagnostics”;

· to use the “F” logo mark in the National Medical Care non-renal business, with the consent of Fresenius SE. That consent will not be unreasonably withheld if the mark using the logo includes one or more additional descriptive words or symbols; and

· to use “Fresenius Medical Care” as a trade name in the renal business

We and our affiliates have the right to use “Fresenius Medical Care” as a trade name in other medical businesses only with the consent of Fresenius SE. Fresenius SE may not unreasonably withhold its consent. In the U.S. and Canada, Fresenius SE will not use “Fresenius” or the “F” logo as a trademark or service mark, except that it is permitted to use “Fresenius” in combination with one or more additional words such as “Pharma Home Care” as a service mark in connection with its home care business and may use the “F” logo as a service mark with the consent of our principal German subsidiary. Our subsidiary will not unreasonably withhold its consent if the service mark includes one or more additional descriptive words or symbols. Similarly, in the U.S. and Canada, Fresenius SE has the right to use “Fresenius” as a trade name, but not as a mark, only in connection with its home care and other medical businesses other than the renal business and only in combination with one or more other descriptive words, provided that the name used by Fresenius SE is not confusingly similar to our marks and trade names. Fresenius SE’s ten-year covenant not to compete with us, granted in 1996, has expired, and Fresenius SE may use “Fresenius” in its corporate names if it is used in combination with one or more additional distinctive word or words, provided that the name used by Fresenius SE is not confusingly similar to the Fresenius Medical Care marks or corporate or trade names.

Other Intellectual Property

Some of the patents, patent applications, inventions, know-how and trade secrets that Fresenius Worldwide Dialysis used prior to our formation were also used by other divisions of Fresenius SE. For Biofine®, the polyvinyl chloride-free packaging material, Fresenius SE has granted to our principal German subsidiary, for our benefit and for the benefit of our affiliates, an exclusive license for the renal business and a non-exclusive license for all other fields except other non-renal medical businesses. Our German subsidiary and Fresenius SE share equally any royalties from licenses of the Biofine® intellectual property by either our German subsidiary or by Fresenius SE to third parties outside the renal business and the other non-renal medical businesses. In addition, Fresenius SE transferred to our German subsidiary the other patents, patent applications, inventions, know-how and trade secrets that were used predominantly in Fresenius SE’s dialysis business. In certain cases Fresenius Worldwide Dialysis and the other Fresenius SE divisions as a whole each paid a significant part of the development costs for patents, patent applications, inventions, know-how and trade secrets that were used by both prior to the Merger. Where our German subsidiary acquired those jointly funded patents, patent applications, inventions, know-how and trade secrets, our subsidiary licensed them back to Fresenius SE exclusively in the other non-renal medical businesses and non-exclusively in all other fields. Where Fresenius SE retained the jointly funded patents, patent applications, inventions, know-how and trade secrets, Fresenius SE licensed them to our German subsidiary exclusively in the renal business and non-exclusively in all other fields.

Supply Agreements and Arrangements

We produce most of our products in our own facilities. However, Fresenius Kabi AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius SE, manufactures some of our products for us, principally dialysis concentrates and other solutions, at facilities located in Germany, Brazil, France and South Africa. Conversely, our facilities in Germany and Italy produce products for Fresenius Kabi AG.

Our local subsidiaries and those of Fresenius SE have entered into supply agreements for the purchase and sale of products from the above facilities. Prices under the supply agreements are determined by good-faith negotiation. During 2014, we sold products to Fresenius SE in the amount of $63.9 million. In 2014, we made purchases from Fresenius SE in the amount of $25.2 million.

The parties may modify existing or enter into additional supply agreements, arrangements and transactions. Any future modifications, agreements, arrangements and transactions will be negotiated between the parties and

will be subject to the approval provisions of the pooling agreements and the regulatory provisions of German law regarding dominating enterprises.

On September 10, 2008, Fresenius Kabi AG acquired Fresenius Kabi USA, Inc. (formerly APP Pharmaceuticals Inc.) (“Kabi USA”), which manufactures and sells sodium heparin. Heparin is a blood thinning drug that is widely and routinely used in the treatment of dialysis patients to prevent life-threatening blood clots. FMCH currently purchases heparin supplied by Kabi USA through MedAssets, Inc. MedAssets Inc. is a publicly-traded U.S. corporation that provides inventory purchasing services to healthcare providers through a group purchasing organization (“GPO”) structure. The Company has no direct supply agreement with Kabi USA and does not submit purchase orders directly to Kabi USA. A GPO is an organization that endeavors to manage supply and service costs for hospitals and healthcare providers by negotiating discounted prices with manufacturers, distributors and other vendors. Vendors discount their prices and pay administrative fees to GPOs because GPOs provide access to a large customer base, thus reducing vendors’ sales and marketing costs and overhead. FMCH is one of many U.S. healthcare providers that participate in the MedAssets GPO. FMCH purchases pharmaceuticals and supplies used in its dialysis services business through the MedAssets GPO contract. During 2014, we acquired $19.5 million of heparin from Kabi USA through the GPO.

On July 3, 2013, we entered into an agreement with a Fresenius SE company for the manufacturing of plasma collection devices. We agreed to produce 3,500 units which can be further increased to a maximum of 4,550 units over the length of the five year contract. A fairness opinion was also obtained from a reputable global accounting firm. Production of these units commenced in March of 2014 with an estimated contract value of approximately $55 million. A contract has been signed on January 1, 2015 to sell certain assets and liabilities related to the manufacturing facility to Kabi USA in the amount of $9.3 million. The disposal will be accounted for as a transaction between parties under common control.

Services Agreement

We obtain administrative and other services from Fresenius SE headquarters and from other divisions and subsidiaries of Fresenius SE. These services relate to, among other things, administrative services, management information services, employee benefit administration, insurance, IT services, tax services and treasury services. For 2014, Fresenius SE and its affiliates charged us approximately $90.0 million for these services. Conversely, we have provided certain services to other divisions and subsidiaries of Fresenius SE relating to research and development, central purchasing and warehousing. For 2014 we charged approximately $8.3 million to Fresenius SE and its subsidiaries for services we rendered to them.

We and Fresenius SE may modify existing or enter into additional services agreements, arrangements and transactions. Any such future modifications, agreements, arrangements and transactions will be negotiated between the parties and will be subject to the approval provisions of the pooling agreements and the regulations of German law regarding dominating enterprises.

Financing

During 2014, we received advances between €1.4 million and €298.5 million which carried interest rates between 1.188% and 1.644%. See Note ##STNote of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Short-Term Borrowings and Short-Term Borrowings from Related Parties — Short-Term Borrowings from Related Parties” in the notes to our consolidated financial statement included in our 2014 20-F.

As of January 7, 2015, Fresenius SE sold all positions held on these Senior Notes.

The Company is party to an unsecured loan agreement with Fresenius SE under which the Company or its subsidiaries may request and receive one or more short-term advances up to an aggregate amount of $400 million until maturity on October 30, 2017. The interest on the advance(s) will be at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to LIBOR or EURIBOR, as applicable, plus applicable margin. Advances can be repaid and reborrowed. On December 31, 2014, the Company received an advance of €1.4 million ($1.7 million) at an interest rate of 1.188%.

Other Interests

Dr. Dieter Schenk, Vice Chairman of the supervisory boards of FMC-AG Co. KGaA and of Management AG and a member of the supervisory board of Fresenius Management SE, is a partner in the law firm of Noerr, which has provided legal services to Fresenius SE and its subsidiaries and to FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and its subsidiaries. The Company incurred expenses in the amount of $2.0 million, $1.3 million and $1.5 million for these services during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung, a charitable foundation established under the will of the late Mrs. Kröner, is the sole shareholder of the general partner of Fresenius SE and owns approximately 26.7% of the voting shares of Fresenius SE. Dr. Schenk is also the Chairman of the advisory board of Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung. See “— Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners of Fresenius SE.”

Under the Articles of Association of FMC AG & Co. KGaA, we will pay Fresenius SE annual compensation for assuming unlimited liability at 4% of the amount of the General Partner’s share capital. See Item 16G, “Corporate Governance — The Legal Structure of FMC AG & Co. KGaA,” in our 2014 20-F.

General Partner Reimbursement

Management AG is a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius SE. The Company’s Articles of Association provide that the General Partner shall be reimbursed for any and all expenses in connection with management of the Company’s business, including compensation of the members of the General Partner’s supervisory board and Management Board. The aggregate amount reimbursed to Management AG for 2014 was approximately $25.5 million for its management services during 2014 including $0.2 million as compensation for its exposure to risk as general partner. The Company’s Articles of Association fix this compensation as a guaranteed return of 4% of the amount of the General Partner’s share capital (which is currently €3.0 million). See Item 16.G “Governance —The Legal Structure of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA” in our 2014 20-F.

(vii) Principal Accountant Fees and Services

In the AGM held on May 15, 2014, our shareholders approved the appointment of KPMG to serve as our independent auditors for the 2014 fiscal year. KPMG billed the following fees to us for professional services in each of the last two years:

	2014		2013
	(in thousands)
Audit fees	$	9,557	$	10,062
Audit related fees	430		32
Tax fees	400		578
Other fees	6,243		3,904
Total	$	16,630	$	14,576

“Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed by KPMG for the audit of our German statutory and U.S. GAAP consolidated and annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. Fees related to the audit of internal control are included in Audit Fees. “Audit-Related Fees” are fees charged by KPMG for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” This category comprises fees billed for comfort letters, consultation on accounting issues, the audit of employee benefit plans and pension schemes, agreed-upon procedure engagements and other attestation services subject to regulatory requirements. “Other fees” include amounts related to supply chain consulting fees. “Tax Fees” are fees for professional services rendered by KPMG for tax compliance, tax advice on implications for actual or contemplated transactions, tax consulting associated with international transfer prices, and expatriate employee tax services.

Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures

As a German company, we prepare statutory financial statements under German law on the basis of the accounting principles of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch or HGB) and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Our supervisory board engages our independent auditors to audit these financial statements, in consultation with our Audit and Corporate Governance Committee and subject to approval by our shareholders at our AGM in accordance with German law.

We also prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which are included in registration statements and reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Audit and Corporate Governance Committee engages our independent auditors to audit these financial statements in accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Rule 303A.06 of the NYSE Governance Rules. See also the description in Item (iii) “Directors and Senior Management” above.

In 2003, Fresenius Medical Care AG’s audit committee also adopted a policy requiring management to obtain the committee’s approval before engaging our independent auditors to provide any audit or permitted non-audit services to us or our subsidiaries. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to assure that such engagements do not impair the independence of our auditors, the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee pre-approves a catalog of specific audit and non-audit services in the categories Audit Services, Audit-Related Services, Tax Services, and Other Services that may be performed by our auditors as well as additional approval requirements based on fee amount and nature.

The general partner’s Chief Financial Officer reviews all individual management requests to engage our auditors as a service provider in accordance with this catalog and, if the requested services are permitted pursuant to the catalog, fee level, and fee structure, approves the request accordingly. Services that are not included in the catalog exceed applicable fee levels or fee structure are passed on either to the chair of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee or to the full committee, for approval on a case by case basis. Additionally we inform the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee about all approvals on an annual basis. Neither the chairman of our Audit and Corporate Governance Committee nor the full committee is permitted to approve any engagement of our auditors if the services to be performed either fall into a category of services that are not permitted by applicable law or the services would be inconsistent with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

During 2014, the total fees paid to the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee members for service on the committee were $0.190 million.
