Remuneration Report

1. Introduction and review of the 2022 reporting year

1.1. Introduction

The Remuneration Report of Bike24 Holding AG, Dresden (hereinafter referred to as "Bike24" or the "Company") for the 2022 reporting year includes individualized information about the remuneration granted and owed to active and former members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company as well as explanations of the underlying remuneration system. The group of active and former members of the Management Board includes former Managing Directors of Bike24 Support GmbH, which was merged into Bike24 Holding AG in April 2021 as part of the IPO. Within the Remuneration Report, Bike24 also shows how the remuneration of the bodies fosters the long-term development of the Company. The Company's Management Board and Supervisory Board are responsible for preparing the Remuneration Report in accordance with Section 162 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). Bike24's Remuneration Report as well as the statutory auditor's report on the formal audit performed are available on the Company's website at: https://ir.bike24.com/websites/bike24/English/5000/governance-_-esg.html Further information on the Company's current remuneration system is available at: https://ir.bike24.com/websites/bike24/English/5000/governance-_-esg.html

1.2. Review of the 2022 reporting year

The Annual General Meeting held on June 21, 2022, approved the remuneration system for the members of the Management Board with an approval rate of 88.43%. In this context, an environmental, social, and responsible governance (ESG) component was added to the remuneration system for members of the Management Board. The changes to the remuneration system primarily relate to the strategic targets listed under "3.3.2. Long-term variable remuneration", which also include targets designed to promote the sustainable orientation of the Company with regard to ESG. The structure of the remuneration system is reported on the following pages.

Against the backdrop of the Company's change of legal form to a stock corporation, the Managing Director contracts of the active members of the Management Board were converted into Management Board employment contracts in 2021. The remuneration system resolved in June 2022 will apply to the two active members of the Management Board. In addition, individual remuneration components were granted to the members of the Management Board within the meaning of Section 162 AktG in the 2022 reporting year, in part on the basis of provisions that were the subject of the previous Managing Director contracts or the previously applicable remuneration system (prior to adjustment by the Annual General Meeting on June 21, 2022). Where relevant, these remunerations are also presented and explained below.

The Remuneration Report for the 2022 reporting year was prepared in accordance with Section 162 AktG and complies with the recommendations and suggestions of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC). On June 21, 2022, the Annual General Meeting approved the Remuneration Report on the remuneration granted and owed individually to the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Company for the 2021 reporting year with a majority of 85.88%. Due to the high level of approval of the Remuneration Report, no further changes were made to the remuneration system, its implementation, or the way it is reported in the 2022 reporting year.

The Supervisory Board of Bike24 is responsible for shaping the structure of the Management Board remuneration system and determining the remuneration of the individual members of the Management Board. The system for providing remuneration to the members of the Company's Management Board includes fixed and variable components. In this context, the remuneration system is intended to contribute to the advancement of the business strategy and the sustainable development of the Company over the long term, in particular to foster the successful development of the Company and the Bike24 stock, and thus to align the interests of shareholders and the Management Board, as well as to ensure appropriate but at the same time competitive remuneration of

To foster long-term and sustainable development of the Company, the remuneration of the members of the Management Board is linked to the business strategy and the corporate planning on which it is based. The current strategy and planning are aimed at assuming a leading position in the market of the online bicycle trade and thus serve the long-term development of the Company. The portion of long-term variable remuneration also significantly exceeds the portion of short-term variable remuneration. The short-term variable remuneration is intended to ensure the ongoing implementation of the operating objectives, the achievement of which is essential as a basis for the long-term development of the Company together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Bike24 Group"). The long-term portion of the variable remuneration enables the members of the Management Board to participate in the relative and absolute development of the stock price so that the interests of the shareholders and the management objectives are in line with each other. This gives the Management Board an incentive to increase the value of the Company on a lasting and sustainable basis.

The basic annual remuneration is paid monthly in twelve equal installments. In the 2022 reporting year, each member of the Management Board received basic remuneration of EUR 252 k.

In addition to their basic remuneration, members of the Management Board receive fringe benefits in the form of a Company bicycle, insurance allowances, and reimbursement of expenses associated with their work. The value of all fringe benefits granted may not exceed 25% of the basic remuneration for the reporting year in question. The Supervisory Board may grant a compensatory amount to the extent that remuneration benefits acquired prior to the transfer to the Management Board of Bike24 Holding AG are forfeited as part of the transfer. The Supervisory Board may determine whether the compensation is to be invested in

Furthermore, the Company pays the premiums for a direct insurance policy that exists or that is to be concluded for each member of the Management Board. In addition, to the to the basic remuneration, the Management Board member has a fixed monthly amount at his free disposal which shall be used for private retirement benefit purposes. This amount is determined from the maximum amount of the employer's contribution to German retirement benefits insurance, subject to the contribution assessment ceiling (East). The value of all retirement benefit commitments for a reporting year may not exceed 10% of basic

The short-term variable remuneration (short-term incentive, "STI") takes the form of an annual bonus. The amount of the annual bonus is based on the achievement of the targets agreed upon with the Supervisory Board. These targets are principally agreed upon annually by March 31 of the current reporting year and comprise 70% quantitative targets as well as 30% qualitative targets. Performance criteria of quantitative targets consist of the consolidated EBITDA figure adjusted for one-time effects ("Adjusted EBITDA") and a portion or all of the subsequent revenue targets: (i) consolidated revenue according to IFRS; (ii) revenue of the DACH region; and (iii) revenue of the expansion markets. The qualitative targets consist of the strategic targets, rolling out

Target achievement is calculated separately for all target figures. The Supervisory Board defines milestones (degree of implementation at certain points on the time axis) for individual strategic targets, based on the corporate planning. These milestones are used to determine the degree of target achievement. If at least 70% is not achieved in a target category, the member of the Management Board does not receive a bonus. Target achievement is determined at the end of the reporting year. The two target dimensions mentioned above are used to calculate a weighted percentage of target achievement, which is first multiplied by itself

3.3.1. Short-term variable remuneration (annual bonus)

The short-term variable remuneration (short-term incentive, "STI") takes the form of an annual bonus. The amount of the annual bonus is based on the achievement of the targets agreed upon with the Supervisory Board. These targets are principally agreed upon annually by March 31 of the current reporting year and comprise 70% quantitative targets as well as 30% qualitative targets. Performance criteria of quantitative targets consist of the consolidated EBITDA figure adjusted for one-time effects ("Adjusted EBITDA") and a portion or all of the subsequent revenue targets: (i) consolidated revenue according to IFRS; (ii) revenue of the DACH region; and (iii) revenue of the expansion markets. The qualitative targets consist of the strategic targets, rolling out the business to other European bicycle markets, and expanding the "Full-Bikes" product segment.

Target achievement is calculated separately for all target figures. The Supervisory Board defines milestones (degree of implementation at certain points on the time axis) for individual strategic targets, based on the corporate planning. These milestones are used to determine the degree of target achievement. If at least 70% is not achieved in a target category, the member of the Management Board does not receive a bonus. Target achievement is determined at the end of the reporting year. The two target dimensions mentioned above are used to calculate a weighted percentage of target achievement, which is first multiplied by itself and then by the target bonus. The bonus is limited to 150% of the target bonus.

The performance criterion for the remuneration granted within the meaning of Section 162 (1) AktG in the 2022 reporting year (annual bonus 2021) can be seen in the following overview:

Total 102

In derogation from the newly concluded remuneration system, the annual bonus granted within the meaning of the German Stock Corporation Act is based on the remuneration practice underlying the old Managing Director contracts, as the Managing Director contracts were not converted into Management Board employment contracts until partway through the 2021 fiscal year. Based on these arrangements, only quantitative targets were agreed upon in the past, with the weighting of quantitative targets being 100% and that of qualitative targets 0%. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA and consolidated revenue in accordance with IFRS, each assigned weighting of 50%, were the financial performance criteria as the assessment basis for the 2021 annual bonus. Just like with the new remuneration system, the calculated target achievement is multiplied by itself and then by the target amount. The annual bonus is also limited to 150% of the target amount.

This resulted in the following target achievement per active Management Board member for the 2021 annual bonus:

(100% target achievement)
Target achievement Amount paid out

Andrés Martin-Birner 50 102% 52

For the former members of the Management Board, this resulted in the following pro-rata target achievement for the 2021 annual bonus:

Name of the former member of the Management Board Target amount in EUR k
(100% target achievement)
Target achievement Amount paid out
in EUR k
Lars Witt until April 2021 17 102% 17
Carsten Wich until April 2021 14 102% 14

The amounts paid out in 2022 of the 2021 annual bonus are added to the remuneration granted and owed in the 2022 reporting year within the meaning of section 162 (1) AktG.

According to the understanding of Section 162 (1) AktG used here, the 2022 annual bonus is "granted" or "owed" in the 2023 reporting year, which is why we will report on the 2022 annual bonus in the Remuneration Report for the 2023 fiscal year.

3.3.2. Long-term variable remuneration (Equity-Settled Stock Options Program)

Long-term variable remuneration (long-term incentive, "LTI") is a long-term, multi-year performance-related remuneration component that is allocated annually on the basis of performance and structured as a stock option program. Under the stock option program established in 2021, Bike24 may issue stock options to members of the Management Board as well as to other beneficiaries. At Bike24's discretion, the Company may also settle the exercised stock options in cash, in whole or in part. The stock options are issued in four tranches. The issue of the first tranche took place on the day of Bike24's IPO on June 25, 2021. The remaining tranches will be issued annually from the first quarter of 2022, depending on the achievement of targets for performance.

The number of tranche stock options to be granted for a reporting year depends on the following targets:

    1. Strategic targets (including ESG targets)
    1. Financial targets
    1. A certain increase in the stock exchange price of the Bike24 share within the previous calendar year.

The targets are set annually – generally by the end of March of the relevant fiscal year at the latest – and are included in the overall target achievement in equal proportions (one-third in each case).

Strategic targets are defined as targets that have as their object future measures for implementing the business strategy that are incorporated into corporate planning. Such goals are interim targets related to the development of new European bicycle markets and expansion of the "Full-Bikes" product segment as well as targets that help bring the Company further in line with its ESG targets. Milestones (degree of implementation at certain points on the time axis) are defined for the individual targets and then used for the determination of target achievement.

In the case of ESG targets, targets that can be quantitatively measured are provided for the specific performance criteria in use wherever possible. In each case, a target value is determined that corresponds to 100% target achievement, along with a threshold value and a cap that may not exceed 150% under any circumstances. As with the other strategic targets, either specific milestones or other key figures are defined if quantitatively measurable targets are not possible. These milestones

The performance criteria used for the financial targets are organic consolidated revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin. Target values corresponding to 100% target achievement are derived from the annual planning, and the values corresponding to higher or lower target achievement are then determined on this basis. The values from the Bike24 Group's consolidated financial

For the stock price target, the stock option program defines the target for the increase in stock price during the fiscal year. Reaching or exceeding this price is defined as 100% target achievement, and not reaching this price is defined as 0% target achievement. The degree of target achievement is determined on the basis of the actual percentage difference between the relevant closing price and the relevant opening price. The relevant closing price is the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Bike24 stock in Xetra trading (or a comparable successor system) during the last month of the relevant fiscal year. The relevant opening price is the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Bike24 stock in Xetra trading (or a compa-

To determine the specific number of stock options to be issued, a EUR amount has been contractually agreed upon (the target amount). The number of stock options to be issued for the respective fiscal year is determined by dividing the target amount by the expected profit from a stock option to be issued for the respective fiscal year pursuant to the agreement (anticipated option profit). In each case, one-third of this preliminary number of stock options is allocated to the strategic targets (including ESG targets), the financial targets, and the stock price target. Each third is multiplied by the target achievement factor. The amounts calculated in this way for the three target categories are then added together, resulting in the number of stock options to be issued for the fiscal year in question. In all cases, the maximum number of stock options to be granted to a member of the Management Board for a reporting year, excluding stock options granted with the IPO, is 64,517. Under the Bike24 Holding AG

Milestones (degree of implementation at certain points on the time axis) are defined for the individual targets and then used for the determination of target achievement. In order to gear the Company toward the ESG objectives on a lasting basis as envisaged in the strategy, the Supervisory Board is guided by the catalog of criteria of Environment (CO2 emissions, shipping, packaging), Social (employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, diversity), and Governance (compliance/reporting, data protection, supply chain), with the help of which it defines one or more targets from the ESG area.

  1. Strategic targets (including ESG targets)

  2. Financial targets

bonus:

In the case of ESG targets, targets that can be quantitatively measured are provided for the specific performance criteria in use wherever possible. In each case, a target value is determined that corresponds to 100% target achievement, along with a threshold value and a cap that may not exceed 150% under any circumstances. As with the other strategic targets, either specific milestones or other key figures are defined if quantitatively measurable targets are not possible. These milestones and key figures are then used to determine whether the target has been specifically achieved.

The performance criteria used for the financial targets are organic consolidated revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin. Target values corresponding to 100% target achievement are derived from the annual planning, and the values corresponding to higher or lower target achievement are then determined on this basis. The values from the Bike24 Group's consolidated financial statements and management report for the respective reporting year are used as actual values.

For the stock price target, the stock option program defines the target for the increase in stock price during the fiscal year. Reaching or exceeding this price is defined as 100% target achievement, and not reaching this price is defined as 0% target achievement. The degree of target achievement is determined on the basis of the actual percentage difference between the relevant closing price and the relevant opening price. The relevant closing price is the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Bike24 stock in Xetra trading (or a comparable successor system) during the last month of the relevant fiscal year. The relevant opening price is the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Bike24 stock in Xetra trading (or a comparable successor system) during the last month of the financial year preceding the fiscal year in question.

BIKE24 | Annual Report 2022 33Strategic targets are defined as targets that have as their object future measures for implementing the business strategy that To determine the specific number of stock options to be issued, a EUR amount has been contractually agreed upon (the target amount). The number of stock options to be issued for the respective fiscal year is determined by dividing the target amount by the expected profit from a stock option to be issued for the respective fiscal year pursuant to the agreement (anticipated option profit). In each case, one-third of this preliminary number of stock options is allocated to the strategic targets (including ESG targets), the financial targets, and the stock price target. Each third is multiplied by the target achievement factor. The amounts calculated in this way for the three target categories are then added together, resulting in the number of stock options to be issued for the fiscal year in question. In all cases, the maximum number of stock options to be granted to a member of the Management Board for a reporting year, excluding stock options granted with the IPO, is 64,517. Under the Bike24 Holding AG stock program, a maximum of 780,000 stock options will be issued to members of the Management Board.

The following tables show the performance criteria set by the Supervisory Board for the stock options granted for the reporting year, within the meaning of Section 162 (1) AktG.

* Number of stock options to be granted according to calculation formula: 65,849 stock options. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of participation, a maximum of 64,517 stock options can be granted per Management Board member in the reporting year.

The second tranche was issued to the members of the Management Board in April 2022 with an exercise price of EUR 18.35.

The stock options are subject to a waiting period of four years until they can be exercised for the first time and have a total term of ten years, in each case from the date of issue. After the end of the waiting period, the stock options can be exercised outside defined vesting periods. The stock options vest one year after the issue date (the "vesting period") until the end of the term. After that, they expire automatically and without compensation.

The stock options of a member of the Management Board for whom the vesting period has not yet expired are reduced on a pro-rata-temporis basis if the member resigns from office or if the Management Board activity of the member ends for reasons such as the regular end of their contract being reached without reappointment and without the employment relationship ending at the same time. In the event of a change of control, the waiting time is shortened to the point in time of the change of control. Stock options that are still within the vesting period are settled either in cash or in stock of the acquirer, depending on the Company's decision.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON EXAMINATION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 162 (3) AKTG

14 BIKE24 | Remuneration Report 2022

To Bike24 Holding AG, Dresden,

Opinion

We have formally examined the remuneration report of Bike24 Holding AG for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2022 to determine whether the disclosures pursuant to Section 162 (1) and (2) AktG have been made in the remuneration report. In accordance with Section 162 (3) AktG, we have not examined the content of the remuneration report.

In our opinion, the accompanying remuneration report complies, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 162 (1) and (2) AktG. Our opinion does not cover the content of the remuneration report.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our examination of the remuneration report in compliance with Section 162 (3) AktG taking into account the IDW assurance standard: Examination of the remuneration report pursuant to Section 162 (3) AktG (IDW AsS 870 (08.2021). Our responsibilities under this regulation and this standard are further described in the "Our Responsibilities" section of our assurance report. Our audit firm has applied the IDW Standard on Quality Management 1: Requirements for Quality Management in Audit Firms (IDW QS 1). We have complied with our professional duties pursuant to the German Public Accountants Act [WPO] and the Professional Charter for Auditors/Chartered Accountants [BS WP/vBP], including the independence requirements.

Responsibilities of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board

The management and the Supervisory Board of Bike24 Holding AG are responsible for the preparation of the remuneration report, including the related disclosures, in accordance with the requirements of Section 162 AktG. The management and the Supervisory Board are also responsible for such internal control as they have determined necessary to enable the preparation of the remuneration report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud (i.e., fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets) or error.

Our Responsibilities

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the remuneration report complies, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 162 (1) and (2) AktG, and to issue an assurance report that includes our opinion.

We planned and performed our examination to obtain evidence about the formal completeness of the remuneration report by comparing the disclosures made in the remuneration report with the disclosures required by Section 162 (1) and (2) AktG. In accordance with Section 162 (3) AktG, we have not examined whether the disclosures are correct or individual disclosures are complete or whether the remuneration report is fairly presented.

Handling Potential Misleading Presentations

In connection with our examination our responsibility is to read the remuneration report by taking into account the findings of the audit of the annual financial statements and, in doing so, remain alert for indications of misleading presentations in the remuneration report to determine whether the disclosures are correct or individual disclosures are complete or whether the remuneration report is fairly presented.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is such misrepresentation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
