Buyback programme
10 June 2026

The resolution is based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 29 May 2024 to acquire shares in the company until 28 May 2029.

In the period from 10 June 2026 to 30 September 2026 up to 150,000 shares (corresponding to 0.85 % of the share capital) with a maximum value of €3,500,000 (excluding incidental acquisition costs), the Executive Board plans to repurchase them via the stock exchange (XETRA trading).

The shares to be acquired may be used for all purposes permitted by law and for all purposes specified in the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 29, 2024.

The share buyback will be carried out by an independent credit institution in accordance with the safe harbour provisions of Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 in conjunction with the provisions of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of the Commission of 8 March 2016, which will make its decisions on the exact timing of the acquisition of shares in the Company independently and uninfluenced by the latter.
