When investigations 2 began looking into corruption 3 charges at 160 year-old German technology company Siemens AG, Chief Executive Klaus Kleinfeld pledged to restore the company's reputation. When the company's supervisory board wanted to postpone 4 discussions about extending Kleinfeld's contract, he told them not to bother. According to Kleinfeld, "In times like these, the company needs clarity about its leadership. I have therefore decided 5 not to make myself available for an extension of my contract." The following day, the company announced that there would probably be a "significant increase" in the amount of bribes 6 being investigated at the company and that the US Securities and Exchange Commission had stepped up their investigation 1 into Siemens.
