The list of members of the Supervisory Board of Fresenius KGaA contained in Schedule A annexed to the Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 3) is hereby amended by removing Mr. Wilhelm Sachs, who has ceased to serve as a member of the Supervisory Board of Fresenius KGaA, and by the addition of Mr. Dieter Reuss, who replaced Mr. Sachs, in each case effective May 5, 2011.  Mr. Reuss is Chairman of the Works Council at Fresenius KGaA’s Bad Homburg site

Item 4.

The first paragraph of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
