Rational AG temporarily no longer in the MDAX after index rebalancing on 18 March 2024 Landsberg am Lech, 6 March 2024 Following the quarterly index review by Deutsche Börse, Rational AG will be temporarily removed from the DAX family as of 18 March 2024. Deutsche Börse states that Rational did not meet the baseline criterion 5.4.2 of the Regulations at the time of the index review as a basis for its decision. This index criterion refers to Recommendation C.10 of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC), which requires the independence of the Audit Committee Chairman. According to the GCGC requirements, Dr Maerz, the current Chairman of the Audit Committee of Rational AG, is not considered independent because his term of office as a member of the Supervisory Board exceeded the twelve-year limit. As has been planned for a long time, at the end of the term of office of the full Supervisory Board of Rational AG, Dr Maerz will no longer stand for election to the Supervisory Board of Rational AG at the Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2024 after twelve successful years. Membership of Deutsche Börse's DAX index family is of very high importance to the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Rational AG. "With the new composition of the Audit Committee, we expect to fully meet all index criteria again from the Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2024. We are confident that nothing will stand in the way of our readmission to the MDAX," says CEO Dr Peter Stadelmann.
