Below, we would like to inform you about the work of the supervisory board and its committees in fiscal year

2021 to support Jumia in its mission:

Cooperation between Supervisory Board and Management Board

In the financial year 2021, the supervisory board of Jumia has cooperated with the management board on a basis of trust. The main focus was on the financial position of Jumia and the economic environment including the COVID-19 pandemic, the medium-term corporate planning and the strategic development of the group, the equity offering completed in the first quarter of 2021, the coordination and monitoring of the company's system of internal controls and SOX compliance, renumeration system for management board members and ESG reporting. The supervisory board has on a regular basis supervised, and accompanied in an advisory capacity, the work of the management board in compliance with the laws, the company's articles of association and the German Corporate Governance Code [Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex].

The management board has on a regular basis informed the supervisory board promptly and comprehensively, in writing and orally, about the state of Jumia and discussed with it in detail the development of the business and decisions. The management board has fully complied with its duties to inform the supervisory board.

Monitoring of the management board's management activities and other main areas of activity of the supervisory board

The supervisory board has ensured that legal regulations, the articles of association and the rules of procedure of both the supervisory board and the management board have been complied with. It has taken the decisions required by any law and the articles of association. Where a business transaction required the approval of the supervisory board, it has discussed it thoroughly with the management board before adopting a resolution.

The cooperation between the supervisory board and the management board always was constructive and target-oriented.

As part of its supervisory functions, the supervisory board dealt with the following focal topics, among others:
