Further proposals include, among others, the re-election of the Independent Proxy and the Statutory Auditors as well as the approval of the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. The shareholders will also be asked to approve the Annual Report, Statutory Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements, in each case, for the financial year 2022 as well as the Remuneration Report 2022 in a separate consultative vote.
