In 2025, the Annual General Meeting was held virtually. Shareholders' rights were given the same consideration as if the meeting had been held in person. We were able to consolidate and further develop the technical systems that had been put in place. According to Section 118a AktG, Annual General Meetings may be held without the physical presence of shareholders or their proxies at the meeting venue, provided that certain conditions are met. According to Section 118a (1) Sentence 1 AktG, the Articles of Association may authorize the Board of Executive Directors to hold virtual Annual General Meetings. At the Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2025, an amendment to the Articles of Association regarding the possibility of holding virtual Annual General Meetings in 2026 and 2027, while ensuring all shareholder rights are upheld, was approved by a majority of 61.0%. Therefore, we have chosen the virtual format for the 2026 Annual General Meeting. In addition, we have taken into account general reasons in favor of holding a virtual Annual General Meeting, such as cost optimization, expanded participation options, and sustainability aspects. Since a review of the voting results shows that a certain proportion of voting shareholders prefer an in-person Annual General Meeting, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board have decided to hold the 2027 Annual General Meeting in person. The expected date is May 19, 2027.
