Based on the authorisation granted, the Board of Directors decided to issue a discretionary mandate effective from 9 October 2024 until at the latest 30 June 2025, under which treasury shares can be repurchased for a maximum amount of EUR 70 million, which may be increased by up to 30% at the initiative of the aforementioned independent financial institution and provided market conditions permit. As the mandate is subject to legal conditions and a series of contractual terms and conditions, it cannot be guaranteed that the total amount will be utilised.
