Munich, June 25, 2021 - NFON, a European provider of voice-centric business communications from the cloud, successfully 
held its 2021 Annual General Meeting yesterday. The AGM was held virtually as a result of the general restrictions due 
to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of voting by the Company's proxies, 9,042,413 shares were represented with as 
many votes. Postal votes had been received for 5,519,976 no-par value shares with the same number of votes. Together, 
this corresponds to 87.9% of the share capital. 
"With 87.9% of the share capital represented at this year's Annual General Meeting, we recorded the highest quota since 
the IPO - from our point of view, a clear sign of the lively interest in NFON, the topic of digitalization of business 
communications and our business model. We were pleased with the many questions that were submitted as well as the once 
again very constructive dialog with the investor protection associations and would like to thank everyone who 
contributed to and participated in this successful event," said Dr. Klaus von Rottkay, CEO of the NFON Group. 
The Management Board reported in detail on the positive developments in fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. 
Driven by the increasing digitalization of business communications, NFON not only recorded a significant increase in 
recurring revenues, but also a clearly positive result. The good business development in an exceptional year 2020, 
characterized by COVID-19, impressively underscores that NFON is positioned exactly right in the European market with 
its cloud-based product portfolio. 
"Voice is our core competence and we are shaping the business communication of the future. Our goal is set: We want to 
become the leading provider of voice-centric business communications. And the signs are clearly pointing to success," 
von Rottkay is convinced. 
NFON intends to exploit the immense opportunities in Europe in the coming years with its once again sharpened Growth 
Strategy 2024. In doing so, NFON is addressing a huge market that is currently shifting in the direction of integrated 
business communications - driven by the cloud technologies that are becoming established. NFON already has its own 
innovative "German Engineering" business communications solutions that are tailored to European customer needs. The 
Company will continue to develop its products and solutions in the direction of integrated business communications. At 
the same time, NFON has already been able to generate dynamic growth for years with its current partner network. NFON 
plans to further expand this network and become the channel provider for voice-centric business communications. 
Accordingly, von Rottkay sees promising years ahead for NFON: "We have key strengths in our business model that result 
in an attractive combination of dynamic growth, low churn rate and sustainable recurring revenues. In 2021, we are now 
laying the foundation to continue this success story in the years to come and to capture the results of our Growth 
Strategy 2024." 
NFON is sending a clear signal concerning the independent implementation of its unified communication strategy with the 
strategic partnership it announced yesterday with Meetecho, an internationally recognized thought leader in the field 
of WebRTC technology. NFON is acquiring a 25% stake in Meetecho as part of this partnership. This move gives NFON 
direct access to industry-leading WebRTC expertise and accelerates the implementation of its own unified communication 
strategy. This is an important step towards strengthening NFON's independence from third-party technology in the long 
term. 
Meetecho was founded in 2009 as a spin-off from the University of Naples and the Janus WebRTC Server was released as 
open-source technology. This is based on the open web standard WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) and enables 
powerful solutions for voice and video communication. 
"With Cloudya, NFON offers an efficient and flexible platform for professional voice-centric business communication, on 
which users will be able to switch between telephony, video or chat intuitively, easily and seamlessly in the future," 
explains Jan-Peter Koopmann, CTO of the NFON Group. "We want to continuously develop our product portfolio to include 
unified communication and contact center solutions. The strategic partnership with Meetecho offers the opportunity of 
accelerated expansion of our own video tech stack through targeted knowledge transfer and joint product developments. 
This fits perfectly into our strategy."

website in the Investor Relations / Annual General Meeting section.
