Questions & Answers regarding
shares and share certificates

Daimler shares (Stock Exchange abbreviation DAI, ISIN DE 000 7100000) are global shares. That means that the stock can be traded on several stock exchanges around the world. Derivatives such as ADR or ADS (American Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Shares) are not required. The stock is listed on the stock exchanges in Frankfurt (Germany), New York Stock Exchange and Stuttgart (Germany).

The share register will record the changes of ownership in registered shares on a daily basis. This enables Daimler to communicate directly with the registered shareholders, e.g. to call a Shareholders` Meeting. If a bank's name is entered in the share register instead of the shareholder, the bank will forward communications from the company to the shareholder.

In the case of physical stock certificates, transfers are usually made by reaching an agreement, handing over the securities, and placement of a transfer declaration on the reverse of the stock certificate. The transfer will also be entered in the Daimler AG share register. The banks participating in transmission or safekeeping are obliged to deliver the necessary data for the share register to Daimler AG. In this context, bank fees may not be charged to the bank customers.

It is possible to buy and sell Daimler stock at any time before the date of the Annual Meeting. There is no share blocking.

Even if the stockholder has already confirmed attendance at the Annual Meeting, the stockholding also in the share register and in the attendance record will be corrected to take purchases and sales into account. Therefore, the already issued admission card refers to the stockholding entered in the share register on the day the card was issued. However, the number of shares in the attendance record will be relevant for the voting process at the annual meeting (in person or via proxy).
