Pursuant to Section 108 (1) and (2) of the Stock Corporation Act and considering Section 86 (7) and (9) and Section 87 (2) and (2a) of the Stock Corporation Act, the Supervisory Board of the Company proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopt the following resolution:

The election shall be effective as of the end of the 23rd Annual General Meeting for a term of office until the end of the Annual General Meeting resolving on the approval of the actions of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for the 2022 financial year. As the current number of ten members of the Supervisory Board elected by the Annual General Meeting of the Company is to remain unchanged, the termination of the Supervisory Board mandate held by Mr. Martin Grüll requires that a new member be elected to the Supervisory Board in order to again attain the number of tenmembers elected by the Annual General Meeting."
