Aareal Bank publishes new requests for extension of the agenda, with identical content, submitted by representatives of 
Petrus Advisers 
Wiesbaden, 20 April 2021 - In accordance with the provisions of German company law, Aareal Bank AG today published a 
new request - albeit unchanged in content from the first version - for extension of the agenda of the Ordinary 
(Virtual) Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2021, submitted by Mr Till Hufnagel, shareholder and partner of Petrus 
Advisers. At the same time, the Company published an additional request for extension of the agenda, identical in 
content, submitted by Petrus Advisers Investments Fund L.P, domiciled on the Cayman Islands. Both requests, which 
include identical proposals for removal and election, aim for the partial replacement of Supervisory Board members. 
Aareal Bank once again published the Supervisory Board's statement in accordance with German company law, which covers 
both requests but has not been amended. 
Mr Hufnagel's reiterated request for extension of the agenda and the second request by Petrus Advisers were submitted 
since Mr Hufnagel's statements substantiating his original request for extension of the agenda had contradicted 
previous voting rights notifications. Having pointed out these contradictions in its press release dated 14 April 2021, 
in a separate message Aareal Bank also drew Mr Hufnagel's attention to the fact that by virtue of the law, erroneous 
voting rights notifications would trigger a loss of shareholder rights. In response, Messrs Till Hufnagel (partner of 
Petrus Advisers) and Klaus Umek (Managing Partner of Petrus Advisers) submitted a total of four new or amended voting 
rights notifications to the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für 
Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht - "BaFin"). In this connection, Mr Hufnagel re-submitted his request for extension of the 
agenda in a new letter dated 16 April 2021, and Petrus Advisers Investments Fund L.P. submitted a request with 
identical content in a letter posted on the same date. 
The Company has now published both requests for extension of the agenda; the agenda for the General Meeting will be 
supplemented accordingly. The requests for extension of the agenda and the statement are available here, and will be 
published to shareholders in the same way as the notice convening the General Meeting. 
Irrespective of this, there are still pending issues related to corrected voting rights notifications, which are to be 
clarified further - also involving BaFin and especially regarding the aspect of whether the persons involved are acting 
in concert.
