Dear shareholders,
As you have learned through the media, public and private events have been banned until 19 April 2020.
Based on Art. 6a of Ordinance 2 on measures to fight the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the version from 16 March 2020, the Board of Directors has therefore decided that shareholders of Geberit AG may exercise their rights at the General Meeting on 1 April 2020 exclusively through the independent proxy. This measure allows us to hold the General Meeting as planned despite the current situation.

To ensure that you can cast your vote, you must send us your instruction form to grant power of attorney and issue your instructions to the independent proxy. Please use either the registration and instruction forms enclosed with this letter or the shareholder platform Sherpany (see also the instructions for this in the enclosure) to issue a power of attorney and instructions to the independent proxy.
