Corporation Act (AktG), the power of attorney must be kept by the proxy in a verifiable form. Such power of attorney 
must be complete and may only contain declarations associated with the exercise of voting rights. Shareholders wishing 
to issue a proxy authorization to an intermediary, an association of shareholders, a proxy voting adviser, or an 
individual treated as equivalent to the aforesaid are requested to reach agreement with the same on the form of the 
power of attorney. 
Voting by Company Proxies 
Furthermore, prior to, or during the course of, the Virtual Annual General Meeting (until the commencement of voting), 
the Company offers its shareholders the possibility of authorizing Company-nominated employees, who are bound by 
instructions given to them (weisungsgebundene Stimmrechtsvertreter), as proxies for the exercise of voting rights. 
Those shareholders who wish to grant power of attorney to the proxies nominated by the Company also have to register 
for the Annual General Meeting and prove their eligibility in the manner stated above. 
The power of attorney and the instructions to the proxies nominated by the Company are also to be made in writing (text 
form); the same shall apply to the revocation thereof or amendment thereto. 
The Company has established a password-protected shareholder portal for granting powers of attorney and instructions to 
the proxies appointed by the Company or for revoking or amending such powers of attorney, which can be accessed under 
https://www.fresenius.com/annual-general-meeting 
both on the day of the Virtual Annual General Meeting and until the start of voting. Shareholders can find the 
necessary login credentials for the shareholder portal and other explanations on the voting card that will be sent by 
post. 
In addition, shareholders may also use the proxy form that they receive together with the voting card for the Virtual 
Annual General Meeting to grant powers of attorney and instructions to the Company's proxies. The completed form may 
also be submitted to the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting at the following address:
