**The Platform Group about to change its legal form and management structure  

  

Düsseldorf, 30** **May 2025.** The Management Board and Supervisory Board of The Platform Group AG today resolved to prepare the transformation of the Company into a partnership limited by shares (SE & Co. KGaA). The change of legal form serves to secure the Company’s long-term orientation, its stronger international focus in the future, its ability to act and make decisions quickly and its long-term orientation as a company with a stable ownership structure.

The legal form of a KGaA enables TPG to realize the advantages of a uniform share structure without losing the influence of the main shareholder, Benner Holding GmbH, which currently holds around 69.7% of the shares entitled to voting in The Platform Group AG. The general partner of the KGaA is to be a European company – The Platform Group SE – in which Benner Holding GmbH will hold a majority stake. The Management Board of the general partner will be identical to the Management Board of The Platform Group SE and will take over the management of The Platform Group SE & Co. KGaA. Benner Holding GmbH has informed the Company that it supports the proposal and will continue to hold a majority stake in the Company in the long term.

The proposed change of legal form does not affect the legal and economic identity of the Company. The Company’s share capital will remain unchanged, as will the number of no-par value shares issued. The shareholders will hold the same number of no-par value shares in the KGaA as before the change of legal form. The shares of the future The Platform Group SE & Co. KGaA will continue to be included in stock exchange trading as before and are to be converted into registered shares. A detailed description of the legal and economic consequences of the change of legal form and the future participation of shareholders can be found in the conversion report prepared by the Board of Directors, which will be made available to shareholders once the Annual General Meeting is convened. The change of legal form of The Platform Group AG to a KGaA does not result in the dissolution of the Company or the formation of a new legal entity. The legal and economic identity of the Company will remain unchanged. Furthermore, the conversion will not have any adverse tax consequences for The Platform Group. A vote on the change of legal form is scheduled to take place at the Annual General Meeting in August.. In order to anchor the planned change of legal form in the organization and to align it more closely with the future strategy, it was decided to change the management structure of TPG.

The future management structure will be reorganized: This includes the Management Board, which will in future be represented by Dr. Dominik Benner as CEO. Marcus Vitt will leave the Management Board of The Platform Group AG by mutual agreement at the end of May 2025 and will act as a consultant to TPG in future. Mr. Bjoern Minnier will take over the role of CFO from June 2025.
