Dear shareholders,

We look forward to welcoming you in person to our Annual General Meeting again this year. As in the past, we attach great importance to personal dialogue with you and have therefore once again decided to hold an in-person event.

A special occasion makes this meeting even more significant: we are celebrating our company's 100th Annual General Meeting! 

In keeping with our tradition, all members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will be present in person at the Vogel Convention Center to answer your questions.
