 Viscom AG initiates concrete plans for change of legal form to European Company (Societas Europaea, SE)

Hanover, 22 June 2023 - The Executive Board of Viscom AG, Hanover (ISIN DE 000 7846867), today resolved, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to prepare the change of legal form of the Company into a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE) while preserving its identity. The dualistic management system, consisting of the Executive Board as management body and the Supervisory Board as control body, is to continue after the change of legal form. The responsibilities and composition of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board are also to remain unaffected by the new structure. The Company's registered office and head office will remain in Hanover.

The intention is to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company in September 2023 at which the change of legal form is to be resolved. The effectiveness of the change of legal form to the legal form of an SE requires, among other things, that the procedure for the agreement on the participation of employees in the future Viscom SE has been completed or terminated.

As a result of the SE conversion, the legal position of the shareholders of Viscom AG remains fundamentally unaffected. They will hold the same number of no-par value shares in Viscom SE as they did immediately before the change of legal form. The stock exchange listing of Viscom shares on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will also remain unaffected by the change of legal form.
