THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) has been entered into on August 12, 2026 among:
| (1) | Jumia Technologies AG, Skalitzer Straße 104, 10997 Berlin, Federal Republic of Germany (“Germany”) (the “Company”); and |
| (2) | International Finance Corporation, an international organization established by Articles of Agreement among its member countries including Germany, having its principal office at 2121 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20433, USA (“IFC”). |
(The Company and IFC are also collectively referred to as the “Parties” and each of them as a “Party”.)
Recitals
| (A) | The Company is a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) incorporated under the laws of Germany and registered under docket number HRB 203542 B and the name “Jumia Technologies AG” with the commercial register of the local court (Amtsgericht) of Charlottenburg (the “Commercial Register”). |
| (B) | As of the date of this Agreement, the share capital (Grundkapital) of the Company amounts to Euro (“EUR”) 249,135,746.00. Pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Company’s articles of association (the “Articles of Association”), as registered with the Commercial Register on 21 May 2026, the share capital of the Company consists of 249,135,746 ordinary bearer shares with no par value (auf den Inhaber lautende Stammaktien ohne Nennbetrag (Stückaktien)), each such share representing a pro-rata amount of the share capital (anteiliger Betrag des Grundkapitals) of EUR 1.00 (the “Existing Shares”, and together with the New Shares (as defined in Recital (E)) the “Shares”). The current share capital is in its entirety reflected in Section 4(1) of the Articles of Association. The Existing Shares have been validly authorized and issued, are fully paid-in and with full dividend entitlement from and including the Company’s fiscal year beginning 1 January 2026. The Existing Shares are represented by several global share certificates deposited with Clearstream Europe AG, Eschborn (“Clearstream Europe”). |
| (C) | American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing two (2) Shares, are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the trading symbol “JMIA”. |
| (D) | Pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Articles of Association, and as a result of (i) a resolution passed on the Company’s shareholders’ meeting on 15 May 2026 (the “Shareholders’ Resolution”) and (ii) a subsequent capital increase in an amount of EUR 1,430,516, registered in the commercial register on 15 June 2026, the management board of the Company (Vorstand) (the “Management Board”) is authorized until 14 May 2031 (inclusive) to increase, once or repeatedly and each time with the consent of the supervisory board of the Company (Aufsichtsrat) (the “Supervisory Board”), the share capital of the Company by a total remaining amount of up to EUR 54,280,303.00 through the issuance of up to 54,280,303 new ordinary bearer shares with no par value (auf den Inhaber lautende Stammaktien ohne Nennbetrag (Stückaktien)) against contributions in cash and/or in kind (the “Authorized Capital 2026/1”). The Management Board is authorized to exclude the shareholders’ statutory subscription rights with the consent of the Supervisory Board among other things, in the case of capital increases against cash contributions, provided that the issue price of the new shares is not significantly lower than the stock exchange price of the shares of the Company already listed on the stock exchange in the meaning of Sections 203(1) and (2), 186(3) Sentence 4 German Stock Corporation Act (“AktG”) and that the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to the new shares issued under the exclusion of subscription rights in accordance with Section 186(3) Sentence 4 AktG does not exceed a total of 10% of the share capital of the Company, whether at the time the Authorized Capital 2026/I comes into effect or – in case such amount is lower – is utilized. Towards the above threshold of 10% of the share capital shall also count the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to any shares, (i) that are sold during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I on the basis of an authorization to sell treasury shares pursuant to Section 71(1) no. 8 sentence 5 second half sentence in conjunction with Section 186(3) Sentence 4 AktG subject to the exclusion of shareholders’ subscription rights; (ii) that are issued to satisfy bonds with conversion or option rights, or conversion or option obligations, provided that such convertible bonds, options, profit rights and/or profit bonds (or combinations of these instruments) were issued in analogous application of Section 186(3) Sentence 4 AktG during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I subject to the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights; or (iii) that are issued during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I on the basis of other authorized capital, provided that such shares are issued subject to the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights pursuant to Section 203(2) Sentence 1 in conjunction with Section 186(3) Sentence 4 AktG or on the basis of other capital measures subject to the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights in analogous application of Section 186(3) Sentence 4 AktG. The Management Board is also authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to determine any additional content of the rights attached to the shares and the conditions of the share issue; this includes the determination of the profit participation of the new shares, which may, in deviation from Section 60(2) AktG, also participate in the profit of completed fiscal years. The related change of the Articles of Association was registered with the Commercial Register on 21 May 2026. During the term of the authorization and until today, the Company has not issued shares or instruments that would have to be counted towards the abovementioned 10% limit, so that the authorization to exclude subscription rights resulting from the Shareholders’ Resolution is available in its full amount. |
1
| (E) | On August 11, 2026 (the “Resolution Date”), the Management Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board of August 12, 2026, resolved to increase the share capital of the Company by EUR 18,115,936.00 (the “Capital Increase”), by issuing 18,115,936 new shares from the Authorized Capital 2026/I (the “New Shares”), to exclude statutory subscription rights of the existing shareholders of the Company, and to determine further details of the Capital Increase and its implementation, including the issue price (Ausgabebetrag) of EUR 1.00 (the “Issue Price”) per New Share (corresponding to the lowest issue price (geringster Ausgabebetrag) per New Share) (the “Board Resolutions”, together with the Shareholders’ Resolution the “Resolutions”). IFC has been admitted to subscribe for New Shares at the Issue Price with the obligation to make an additional payment under contract law (schuldrechtliche Zuzahlung) for each new share subscribed, to be allocated to the capital reserve in accordance with Section 272(2)(4) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB), in the amount of the difference between (i) the Benchmark Price (as defined below) divided by two in order to reflect the price per Share less a discount not to exceed 5.0%, and (ii) the Issue Price (converted into USD applying the European Central Bank reference rate for USD/EUR published on the Subscription Date (as defined below) (or, if no such rate is published for that date, the reference rate most recently published prior to that date) , the “Converted Issue Price”))(such amount the “Additional Payment Amount”, and together with the Issue Price the “Offer Price”); notwithstanding the above, the Additional Payment Amount for two New Shares shall not exceed (i) USD 7.70 less (ii) the Converted Issue Price for two New Shares. The “Benchmark Price” shall be the lower of (a) the closing price of the ADSs at the NYSE at the Resolution Date, and (b) in exceptional circumstances – particularly in cases of unusual market volatility or indications of market distortion or manipulation – the 3-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the ADSs at the NYSE over the three (3) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Resolution Date. The total number of New Shares that IFC is willing to acquire and is authorized under the Board Resolutions to subscribe for is calculated by dividing the total investment amount of USD 25,000,000.00 by the Offer Price, rounded down to the nearest number of New Shares divisible by two (the “IFC Shares”). On the Resolution Date, the Offer Price was determined by the Company to be USD 2.76 per New Share and the number of IFC Shares to be 9,057,970. |
| (F) | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, IFC intends to subscribe for the IFC Shares on August 13, 2026, or on another date mutually agreed between the Parties, as will be set forth in the Subscription Certificate (as defined in Clause 1.1(b)) at the Issue Price (such date the “Subscription Date”). The Company is expected to apply for the registration of the consummation of the Capital Increase with the Commercial Register within ten (10) days following the Subscription Date (the date of application being the “Registration Application Date”) and will use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to be effected no later than 23:59 (Central European Time (“CET”, such definition to refer to Central European Summertime (CEST), if applicable at the relevant point in time)) on the twelfth (12th) Business Day after the Subscription Date (such date of registration being the “Registration Date”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall be a day (other than Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business and exchanges are open for trading in Frankfurt am Main and New York. |
| (G) | The IFC Shares shall be delivered to IFC as ADSs each representing two (2) IFC Shares (“IFC ADSs”) in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Capital Increase together with the issuance of the IFC ADSs pursuant to this Agreement and performance of each of the other Transaction Documents (as defined below) are herein collectively referred to as the “Transaction”. |

Appendix 2
Anti-Corruption Guidelines for IFC Transactions
The purpose of these Guidelines is to clarify the meaning of the terms “Corrupt Practice”, “Fraudulent Practice”, “Coercive Practice”, “Collusive Practice” and “Obstructive Practice” in the context of IFC operations.
| 1. | CORRUPT PRACTICES |
A “Corrupt Practice” is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party.
INTERPRETATION
| A. | Corrupt practices are understood as kickbacks and bribery. The conduct in question must involve the use of improper means (such as bribery) to violate or derogate a duty owed by the recipient in order for the payor to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. Antitrust, securities and other violations of law that are not of this nature are excluded from the definition of corrupt practices. |
| B. | It is acknowledged that foreign investment agreements, concessions and other types of contracts commonly require investors to make contributions for bona fide social development purposes or to provide funding for infrastructure unrelated to the project. Similarly, investors are often required or expected to make contributions to bona fide local charities. These practices are not viewed as Corrupt Practices for purposes of these definitions, so long as they are permitted under local law and fully disclosed in the payor’s books and records. Similarly, an investor will not be held liable for corrupt or fraudulent practices committed by entities that administer bona fide social development funds or charitable contributions. |
| C. | In the context of conduct between private parties, the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of corporate hospitality and gifts that are customary by internationally-accepted industry standards shall not constitute corrupt practices unless the action violates Applicable Law. |
| D. | Payment by private sector persons of the reasonable travel and entertainment expenses of public officials that are consistent with existing practice under relevant law and international conventions will not be viewed as Corrupt Practices. |
| E. | The World Bank Group does not condone facilitation payments. For the purposes of implementation, the interpretation of “Corrupt Practices” relating to facilitation payments will take into account relevant law and international conventions pertaining to corruption. |
| 2. | FRAUDULENT PRACTICES |
A “Fraudulent Practice” is any action or omission, including a misrepresentation that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation.
INTERPRETATION
| A. | An action, omission, or misrepresentation will be regarded as made recklessly if it is made with reckless indifference as to whether it is true or false. Mere inaccuracy in such information, committed through simple negligence, is not enough to constitute a “Fraudulent Practice” for purposes of this Agreement. |
| B. | Fraudulent Practices are intended to cover actions or omissions that are directed to or against a World Bank Group entity. It also covers Fraudulent Practices directed to or against a World Bank Group member country in connection with the award or implementation of a government contract or concession in a project financed by the World Bank Group. Frauds on other third parties are not condoned but are not specifically sanctioned in IFC, MIGA, or PRG operations. Similarly, other illegal behavior is not condoned, but will not be considered as a Fraudulent Practice for purposes of this Agreement. |
21
| 3. | COERCIVE PRACTICES |
A “Coercive Practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party.
INTERPRETATION
| A. | Coercive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice. |
| B. | Coercive Practices are threatened or actual illegal actions such as personal injury or abduction, damage to property, or injury to legally recognizable interests, in order to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. It is not intended to cover hard bargaining, the exercise of legal or contractual remedies or litigation. |
| 4. | COLLUSIVE PRACTICES |
A “Collusive Practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party.
INTERPRETATION
Collusive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.
| 5. | OBSTRUCTIVE PRACTICES |
An “Obstructive Practice” is (i) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making of false statements to investigators, in order to materially impede a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice, and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation, or (ii) an act intended to materially impede the exercise of IFC’s access to contractually required information in connection with a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice.
INTERPRETATION
Any action legally or otherwise properly taken by a party to maintain or preserve its regulatory, legal or constitutional rights such as the attorney-client privilege, regardless of whether such action had the effect of impeding an investigation, does not constitute an Obstructive Practice.
GENERAL INTERPRETATION
A person should not be liable for actions taken by unrelated third parties unless the first party participated in the prohibited act in question.

AMR SECTION III
| SUMMARY OF KEY E&S ASPECTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD |
This section aims to identify the key E&S progress/activities/incidents during the Reporting period (include: Summary of Key Findings for the Reporting Period e.g. non-compliances, significant incidents2, social unrest, significant improvements/initiatives regarding E&S performance, etc.)
Project Status
Select the current status of the project and provide a brief description of the developments in relation to the project over the reporting period.

| Cars | ||||
| Motorbike | ||||
| Tricycle | ||||
| Drivers |
New investment under development? (Corporate and Investment Funds) ☐ Yes ☐ No
Please provide details in section IV of this AMR.
Note to Client: Environmental and Social (E&S) refers to the aspects covered under Performance Standards 2 to 8, including but not limited to environmental, climate, labor and working conditions, GBV and SEAH3, workers and community health and safety, and biodiversity matters.
| 2 | Examples of significant incidents follow. Chemical and/or hydrocarbon materials spills; fire, explosion or unplanned releases, including during transportation; ecological damage/destruction; local population impact, complaint or protest; failure of emissions or effluent treatment; legal/administrative notice of violation; penalties, fines, or increase in pollution charges; negative media attention; chance cultural finds; labor unrest or disputes; local community concerns. |
| 3 | Gender-based violence (GBV) means any harmful act perpetrated against a person that is based on socially ascribed gender differences. It includes acts or threats of physical, psychological, sexual or economic abuse, coercion, and other deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life. GBV disproportionately affects women and girls. GBV is rooted in gender inequality and unequal power, which can leave people, especially women and girls, vulnerable to violence and harassment and prevent them from reporting it. It is widespread and cuts across all industries, supply chain, and in the community. Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) is a subset of GBV. Sexual Exploitation means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. Sexual Abuse means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. It can come in many forms including but not limited to a text message, a touch, a kiss, and sexual intercourse. Therefore, SEAH happens when an employee or contractor commits a sexual misconduct and abuses their position of power or privilege against another employee or a member of the affected community. SEAH always involves an imbalance of power between a worker and a member of the affected community. |

| Gemäß § 4 Abs. 2 der Satzung der Jumia Technologies AG mit Sitz in Berlin, eingetragen in das Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Charlottenburg unter HRB 203542 B (die „Gesellschaft”) ist der Vorstand nach teilweiser Ausnutzung der ursprünglichen Ermächtigung noch ermächtigt, das Grundkapital der Gesellschaft bis zum 14. Mai 2031 mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats einmalig oder mehrmals um insgesamt bis zu EUR 54.280.303,00 durch Ausgabe von bis zu 54.280.303 neuen, auf den Inhaber lautenden Stückaktien gegen Bar- und/oder Sacheinlagen zu erhöhen (das „Genehmigte Kapital 2026/I”). | Pursuant to Sec. 4(2) of the Articles of Association of Jumia Technologies AG, having its registered office in Berlin, registered with the commercial register of the Local Court of Charlottenburg under HRB 203542 B (the “Company”), following previous partial exercise of the original authorization, the Management Board remains authorized to increase the registered share capital of the Company until May 14, 2031, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, once or repeatedly, by up to a total amount of EUR 54,280,303.00 through the issuance of up to 54,280,303 new no-par value bearer shares against contributions in cash and/or in kind (the “Authorized Capital 2026/I”). | |
| Den Aktionären ist grundsätzlich ein Bezugsrecht einzuräumen. Der Vorstand ist jedoch ermächtigt, das Bezugsrecht der Aktionäre mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats für eine oder mehrere Kapitalerhöhungen im Rahmen des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I auszuschließen, unter anderem zur Ausgabe von Aktien gegen Bareinlagen, wenn der Ausgabepreis der neuen Aktien den Börsenpreis der bereits börsennotierten Aktien der Gesellschaft nicht wesentlich im Sinne der §§ 203 Abs. 1 und Abs. 2, 186 Abs. 3 Satz 4 Aktiengesetz („AktG”) unterschreitet und der auf die unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts gemäß § 186 Abs. 3 Satz 4 AktG ausgegebenen neuen Aktien entfallende anteilige Betrag des Grundkapitals insgesamt 10 % des Grundkapitals der Gesellschaft nicht überschreitet, und zwar weder zum Zeitpunkt des Wirksamwerdens noch – wenn dieser Betrag geringer ist – im Zeitpunkt der Ausnutzung des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I. Auf diese Begrenzung von 10 % des Grundkapitals ist der anteilige Betrag des Grundkapitals anzurechnen, der auf Aktien entfällt, (i) die während der Laufzeit des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I aufgrund einer Ermächtigung zur Veräußerung eigener Aktien gemäß § 71 Abs. 1 Nr. 8 Satz 5 Halbsatz 2 AktG in Verbindung mit § 186 Abs. 3 Satz 4 AktG unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre veräußert werden; (ii) die zur Bedienung von Schuldverschreibungen mit Wandlungs- oder Optionsrechten bzw. Wandlungs- oder Optionspflichten ausgegeben werden oder auszugeben sind, sofern diese Schuldverschreibungen in entsprechender Anwendung des § 186 Abs. 3 Satz 4 AktG während der Laufzeit des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre ausgegeben werden; (iii) die während der Laufzeit des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I aus anderem genehmigten Kapital unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre gemäß § 203 Abs. 2 Satz 1 in Verbindung mit § 186 Abs. 3 Satz 4 AktG oder auf der Grundlage sonstiger Kapitalmaßnahmen unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre in entsprechender Anwendung von § 186 Abs. 3 Satz 4 AktG ausgegeben werden. | In principle, the shareholders are to be granted subscription rights. However, the Management Board is authorized to exclude the shareholders’ subscription rights with the consent of the Supervisory Board for one or more capital increases in the context of the Authorized Capital 2026/I, among others, to issue shares for cash contributions, provided that the issue price of the new shares is not significantly lower than the stock exchange price of the shares of the Company already listed on the stock exchange in the meaning of sections 203(1) and (2), 186(3) sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (“AktG”) and that the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to the new shares issued under the exclusion of subscription rights in accordance with section 186(3) sentence 4 AktG does not exceed a total of 10% of the share capital of the Company, whether at the time the Authorized Capital 2026/I comes into effect or – in case such amount is lower – is utilized. Towards the above threshold of 10% of the share capital shall also count the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to any shares, (i) that are sold during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I on the basis of an authorization to sell treasury shares pursuant to section 71(1) no. 8 sentence 5 second half sentence in conjunction with section 186(3) sentence 4 AktG subject to the exclusion of shareholders’ subscription rights; (ii) that are issued to satisfy bonds with conversion or option rights, or conversion or option obligations, provided that such bonds were issued in analogous application of section 186(3) sentence 4 AktG during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I subject to the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights; or (iii) that are issued during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I on the basis of other authorized capital, provided that such shares are issued subject to the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights pursuant to section 203(2) sentence 1 in conjunction with section 186(3) sentence 4 AktG or on the basis of other capital measures subject to the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights in analogous application of section 186(3) sentence 4 AktG. |

| Der Vorstand darf von der vorstehenden Ermächtigung zum Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre nur insoweit Gebrauch machen, als der auf die neu auszugebenden Aktien entfallende anteilige Betrag des Grundkapitals 10 % des Grundkapitals der Gesellschaft zum Zeitpunkt des Wirksamwerdens des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I oder – falls dieser Betrag niedriger ist – seiner Ausnutzung nicht übersteigt. Auf diese Begrenzung von 10 % des Grundkapitals ist der anteilige Betrag des Grundkapitals anzurechnen, der auf Aktien entfällt, die während der Laufzeit des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre aus anderen Ermächtigungen, einschließlich genehmigtem Kapital, bedingtem Kapital und durch Verwendung eigener Aktien, ausgegeben oder veräußert werden, mit Ausnahme von Aktien, die unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre ausgegeben oder verkauft werden, um (i) Ansprüche aus virtuellen Beteiligungsprogrammen (virtual restricted stock unit programs) der Gesellschaft oder (ii) Vergütungsansprüche von Aufsichtsratsmitgliedern zu erfüllen. | The Management Board may only use the above authorization for the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights to the extent that the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to the new shares to be issued does not exceed 10% of the share capital of the Company whether at the time the Authorized Capital 2026/I comes into effect or – in case such amount is lower – is utilized. Towards the above threshold of 10% of the share capital shall count the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to any shares issued or sold under the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights on the basis of any other authorizations, including authorized capital, conditional capital and by use of treasury shares, during the term of the Authorized Capital 2026/I, except for any shares issued or sold under the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription rights to settle (i) claims under virtual restricted stock unit programs of the Company, or (ii) remuneration claims of Supervisory Board members. | |
| Die Ermächtigung des Vorstands zur Erhöhung des Grundkapitals im Rahmen des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I wurde von der Hauptversammlung der Gesellschaft am 15. Mai 2026 beschlossen und am 21. Mai 2026 in das Handelsregister des für die Gesellschaft zuständigen Amtsgerichts Charlottenburg eingetragen. An diesem Tag betrug das eingetragene Grundkapital der Gesellschaft EUR 247.705.230,00 und ist seitdem durch teilweise Ausnutzung des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I auf EUR 249.135.746,00 erhöht worden. Die teilweise Ausnutzung des Genehmigten Kapitals 2026/I erfolgte unter Ausschluss des Bezugsrechts der Aktionäre gemäß § 4 Abs. 2 Uabs. 3 der Satzung und ist somit auf die vorstehend genannten 10 %-Grenzen nicht anzurechnen. | The authorization of the Management Board to increase the registered share capital in the framework of the Authorized Capital 2026/I was resolved by the shareholders’ meeting of the Company on May 15, 2026 and was registered in the commercial register of the Local Court of Charlottenburg, which has jurisdiction over the Company, on May 21, 2026. On this date, the Company’s registered share capital amounted to EUR 247,705,230.00 and has since been increased to EUR 249,135,746.00 through partial exercise of Authorized Capital 2026/I. The partial utilization of Authorized Capital 2026/I was effected under the exclusion of shareholders’ subscription rights pursuant to Sec. 4(2) subparagraph 3 of the Articles of Association and therefore does not count towards the aforementioned 10% thresholds. |
