• Share Buyback Authorization Approved

  Shareholders authorized the management board to acquire shares or depositary receipts in the company's capital. This follows a previous announcement seeking a 10% share buyback authorization and the initiation of a €20 million buyback program on May 29, 2026.

• Share Cancellation Authorization Approved

  The management board was also authorized to cancel shares held by the company in its capital, which can reduce the number of outstanding shares and potentially boost earnings per share.

• Omnibus Incentive Plan Amendment Approved

  An amendment to the Company's 2016 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved, which was previously described as a 'substantial increase' in the plan, potentially increasing future share-based compensation.

• Routine Governance Items Passed

  Shareholders also approved the 2025 annual accounts, appointed the external auditor for 2026, released managing and supervisory directors from liability, and re-appointed key directors.

Shareholders formally approved the management board's authorization to acquire and cancel shares, which is a key step for the company's previously announced share buyback program and a broader authorization to return capital. This approval, following the earlier announcement of a €20 million buyback and a proposal for up to 10% share buyback authorization, provides the company with flexibility to manage its capital structure. Additionally, an amendment to the Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved, which could lead to increased share-based compensation and potential dilution.
