General Meeting

The term “virtual Shareholders’ Meeting” refers to a Shareholders’ Meeting without the physical presence of the shareholders and their proxies at the meeting venue.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, holding an event with shareholders physically present would involve an unacceptable risk of infection. To ensure that Shareholders’ Meetings can continue to be held, however, the German Bundestag has adopted the “Act on measures taken under the laws governing corporations, cooperative societies, associations, foundations and residential property to combat the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic”, last amended by Article 15 of the Act of 10 September 2021, hereinafter collectively the “Covid-19 Act”. As a result of this Act, the Shareholders’ Meeting can also be held in 2022 without requiring the physical presence of our shareholders.

LEONI AG will also hold this year's Shareholders’ Meeting as a virtual event on the basis of the provisions of this Act. As in previous years, it will again not be possible for shareholders and their proxies to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting in person this year. Shareholders and their proxies may exercise their voting rights only by postal ballot or by granting powers of representation and issuing appropriate instructions to the voting representatives as appointed by the Company. You can participate in the Meeting via the live stream provided by the InvestorPortal.

For further information about the conditions for exercising your shareholders' rights, and about registering for the Shareholders’ Meeting in particular, please see the invitation to the Shareholders’ Meeting at www.leoni.com/en/agm2022/.

The Shareholders’ Meeting will be held at 12:00 (CEST) on Thursday, 24 May 2022.

The end of the Shareholders’ Meeting cannot be stated with any certainty, since it will depend on events in the Meeting itself and the number of questions submitted in advance.

Although the Covid-19 Act revokes your right as a shareholder to request information during the Shareholders’ Meeting as defined by AktG section 131, you are instead granted the right to ask questions in advance by using an electronic communications channel (Covid-19 Act, section 1(2), sent. 1, no. 3 ).

Questions from shareholders duly registered for the Shareholders’ Meeting must be submitted to the Company exclusively via the InvestorPortal at www.leoni.com/en/agm2022/ by midnight (24:00 CEST) on Sunday, 22 May 2022.

Duly registered shareholders can be represented at the Shareholders’ Meeting by the voting representatives as appointed by the Company. Powers of proxy and instructions to the voting representatives appointed by the Company may be issued, amended or revoked in writing by using the proxy and instruction form provided for this purpose. The deadline for all such proxy business is midnight (24:00 CEST) on Monday, 23 May 2022. Please return the form to the following address:

Powers of proxy for the voting representatives appointed by the Company can also be issued electronically by using the personal InvestorPortal at www.leoni.com/en/agm2022/. The personal InvestorPortal can also be used during the Shareholders’ Meeting for the purposes of issuing, revoking or changing powers of proxy and instructions for the voting representatives appointed by the Company until voting starts.

In addition, shareholders may also appoint their own proxies, such as financial institutions, shareholder associations or other third parties, and have their voting rights exercised by these authorised representatives. The prohibition on physical attendance at the Meeting also applies to any proxies whom you appoint in this way. Accordingly, these proxies may exercise voting rights for the shareholders they represent only by submitting a postal ballot or by granting their delegated powers of proxy to the voting representatives appointed by the Company. The respective regulations apply in each case. To use the InvestorPortal, a shareholder’s proxy must be given the access credentials as provided to the shareholder with the registration documents that were sent out for the Shareholders’ Meeting. Use of these personal access credentials by the shareholder’s proxy is also deemed proof of authorisation by the shareholder.

Duly registered shareholders can submit their votes by postal ballot. These postal ballots may be sent to the Company by post, email, or submitted by using the InvestorPortal. Postal ballots sent in writing (i.e. not using the InvestorPortal) must use the postal ballot form that is sent to the shareholder together with the registration documents. This postal ballot form is also available online at www.leoni.com/en/agm2022/.

Postal ballots in writing may be submitted (including instructions to amend or withdraw votes) to the following addresses by midnight (24:00 CEST) on Monday, 23 May 2022 at the latest:
