EQS-Adhoc: STEICO SE: Statement on current media reports

STEICO SE confirms that its indirect majority shareholder and CEO Udo Schramek is exploring strategic options regarding his shares in STEICO SE. This includes the possibility of selling a majority of the shares in STEICO SE. These are deliberations that Mr. Schramek is conducting solely in his function as indirect majority shareholder of STEICO SE, in which STEICO SE is not otherwise involved. We are therefore unable to provide any further information on the status of the deliberations of our majority shareholder at the present time. However, as a precautionary measure, it is pointed out that even a majority sale of the shares in STEICO SE does not lead to the need for a takeover offer with regard to the remaining shares in STEICO SE, as STEICO SE is only traded on the open market and therefore the provisions of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG) do not apply.
