Disclosures in accordance with the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code (GCGC)
In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, Volker Rofalski is to be classified as independ- ent. This also applies despite the fact that he has been a member of the Supervisory Board of Mutares SE & Co. KGaA for more than twelve (12) years. He continues to maintain the necessary distance from the Company, the General Partner and the controlling shareholder that is required for the supervision of the management of the Company by Mutares Management SE. His past and current performance in office demonstrates that he remains in a position to advise and monitor the General Partner appropriately. The Supervisory Board is convinced that the length of membership of more than twelve (12) years is not suitable in the present case to give rise to conflicts of interest that could jeopardize the independence of the member.
In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, there are no personal or business relationships of Mr. Rofalski with the Company, its Group companies, the executive bodies of the Company or a shareholder with a material interest in the Company that require disclosure in accordance with recommendation C.13 GCGC.
