Within the scope of this Buyback Programme up to 3m shares for a total purchase price (excluding incidental expenses) of up to EUR 150m will be repurchased. The repurchase via the stock exchange will start on March 10th, 2022 and will end on April 8th, 2022 the latest. The Buyback Programme is based on the authorization of the Annual General Meeting of May 6th, 2021, valid until May 5th, 2026 to launch a share buyback programme in the amount of up to 10% of the Company's share capital existing at the date the resolution on the share buyback is adopted. The purchase price (excluding incidental transaction costs) may not exceed the average share price prior to the effective date of the transaction by more than 10% and may not be fixed more than 20% below it. The average share price is the non-volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Company's shares in Xetra trading (or a comparable successor system) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the last five trading days. The effective date is the date of the purchase or, if earlier, the date on which a commitment to purchase is entered into. The Buyback Programme with a total volume of up to 3m shares, representing up to approx. 0.24% of the share capital of the company will be carried out between March 10th, 2022 and April 8th, 2022 on the basis of an irrevocable arrangement by an independent financial service provider.

The shares will not be bought back at higher price than the highest price of the last independent trade and (should this be higher) the highest current independent bid in the trading venues where the purchase is made. 2. With regard to trading volume, the Company will not purchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its shares in the regulated market in which the purchase takes place; a limit that will apply to the entire Buyback Programme. The daily average volume will be based on the average daily trading volume in the month before disclosure of this Buyback Programme Contact: Martin Ziegenbalg This announcement does not constitute, or form part of, an offer or any solicitation of an offer for securities in any jurisdiction.
