AUDIT OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021

The annual financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG, the consolidated financial statements of the Eckert & Ziegler Group, and the management reports were audited, together with the accounting system, by the auditors appointed by the Annual General Meeting for fiscal year 2021, BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Berlin, Germany. The auditor has concluded that all legal requirements have been met and has granted an unqualified auditor's opinion.

Furthermore, the auditor has concluded that the Executive Board has implemented the measures incumbent upon it pursuant to Section 91 (2) of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG) regarding the establishment of a risk-monitoring system in a suitable form and that this system is suitable for the early detection of developments that endanger the continued existence of the company as a going concern. In regard to the report presented by the Executive Board on the company's relationships to affiliated enterprises in accordance with Section 312 AktG (affiliated company report), the auditor has confirmed that the statements made in the report are correct and that the payments made by the company for the legal transactions listed in the report were not inappropriately high.

The annual financial statements, including the affiliated company report and the auditor's audit report, were submitted to the Supervisory Board. A representative of the auditor took part in the Supervisory Board's balance-sheet meetings on 24 and 29

March 2022and reported on the key findings of the audit. The Supervisory Board acknowledged and approved the auditor's results.

Based on its subsequent examination, the Supervisory Board raises no objections against the audited annual financial statements and the affiliated company report, including the Executive Board's concluding statement. The Supervisory Board therefore approved the annual financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG and the consolidated financial statements of the Eckert & Ziegler Group. The annual financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- undMedizintechnik AG are thereby adopted. The Supervisory Board concurs with the

Executive Board's recommendation on the appropriation of net profit.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Supervisory Board would like to thank the Executive Board and all employees for their outstanding performance in the financial year 2021.
