The conduct of the Annual General Meeting as virtual shareholders' meeting based on the COVID-19-Act leads to modifications in the procedure of the meeting and in the exercise of the shareholders' rights.

The convocation of the shareholders' meeting already includes information about the shareholders'

rights pursuant to section 122 (2) AktG in conjunction with Art. 56 sentence 2 and 3 of the SE Regulation and section 50 (2) of the SEAG as well as sections 126 (1), 127, 131 (1) AktG in conjunction with section 1 para. 2 COVID-19-Act.a

The Management Board did not make use of the possibility to shorten the convocation period of the shareholders' meeting pursuant to section 1 para. 3 sentence 1 COVID-19-Act. Consequently, the shortened period for the receipt of requests for an addition to the agenda pursuant to section 1 para. 3 sentence 4 COVID-19-Act does not apply.

The request must therefore be received by the Company at least 30 days prior to the shareholders' meeting. The day of receiving the request and the day of the shareholders' meeting shall not be taken into account. The request, therefore, must be received by the Company no later than on Monday, May 9, 2022, 24:00 hrs. In contrast to a German stock corporation, a minimum holding period as prerequisite for the right to request an addition to the agenda for the shareholders of an SE is not required pursuant to Art. 56 of the SE Regulation.

Each new item of the agenda must include a reasoning or a resolution proposal.

Additions to the agenda to be published will be published without undue delay after the receipt of the request - in the same way as the convocation - in the Federal Gazette and will be forwarded for publication to such media that can be expected to disseminate the information throughout the European Union. They will also be published on the website of the Company athttps://ir.auto1-group.com/hauptversammlung.
