Meeting attendance and independence

In the 2025 business year, meetings were held as follows:

• The Supervisory Board met six times (one of which was a completely virtual meeting).
• The Personnel Committee met four times.
• The Audit Committee met six times (two of which were completely virtual meetings).
• The Nomination Committee did not meet.
• The Strategy Committee met once (as a completely virtual meeting).

All members attended all meetings of the Supervisory Board, although one member was only able to attend the two-day strategy meeting in July on the second day and then only virtually due to illness. The meetings of the Supervisory Board committees were attended by all respective committee members. During the 2025 business year, the meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees were mainly held as general in-person meetings with the additional option of virtual attendance.
