Following the departure of Ms. Ute LASSNIG and Mr. Gernot HOFER from the Supervisory Board on the occasion of the 6th Annual General Meeting on June 21, 2023, the number of Supervisory Board members will be reduced to less than six so that the statutory requirement of Sec. 86 Para. 7 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) will no longer apply.
