6 Shareholders’ participation rights

6.1 Voting right limitation and representation

At the General Meeting of Shareholders, each share carries one vote.

The 428ʼ413 own shares (as at 31 December 2025) held by LLB and its subsidiaries are excluded from voting rights (see section Shares and participation certificates). Beyond that, there are no voting right limitations.

Shareholders may exercise their voting rights either:

• personally;
• by authorising another shareholder with voting rights (written authorisation);

or

• in advance in writing or electronically (postal vote).

The Chairman of the General Meeting of Shareholders shall decide whether the authorisation is valid. A proxy may represent several shareholders and may cast votes differently in respect of different shareholders.

On account of the many different voting possibilities, LLB has decided not to designate an independent proxy in accordance with Art. 18, para. 1 of the statutes.

6.2 Statutory quorum

At the General Meeting of Shareholders, a quorum is present if at least half of the share capital is represented. The Board of Directors can decide to permit shareholders to submit their vote by post or electronically.

In the case of postal voting, the corresponding share capital is regarded as being represented for the purpose of constituting a quorum.

Resolutions and elections are passed by an absolute majority of the votes cast.

If the General Meeting of Shareholders does not have a quorum, a new General Meeting has to be convened within two weeks; it will make decisions irrespective of the number of represented shares, unless otherwise prescribed by laws or statutes.

6.3 Convening of the General Meeting of Shareholders

The Board of Directors convenes an ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders with a period of notice of 30 days. The meeting must be held within five months following the end of a business year.

The invitation is published on the website and, where necessary, in other media and contains all the legally required information including the agenda items and proposals.

An extraordinary General Meeting will be convened:

• if the Board of Directors deems it appropriate;

or

• at the written request of shareholders with at least 10 per cent of the share capital, stating their reasons.

6.4 Agenda

The Board of Directors sets the agenda in accordance with Art. 14 of the statutes.

The General Meeting of Shareholders can only vote on items which are on the agenda (with the exception of convening an extraordinary General Meeting).

Shareholders with not less than 5 per cent of the share capital can request an item be placed on the agenda by tabling a resolution.

Agenda items have to be submitted no later than 21 days prior to the General Meeting. Changes to the agenda items shall be published at least 13 days prior to the date of the General Meeting.

Proposals regarding agenda items:

• can be submitted prior to the General Meeting by shareholders who represent not less than 5 per cent of the share capital;
• during the General Meeting of Shareholders, any shareholder may submit proposals regarding items on the agenda.

6.5 Registration in the company’s share register

LLB has only registered shares in circulation.

Registration as shareholders with voting rights is upon request (see section 2.6.).

In order to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders, entry in the share register must be made at the latest three working days prior to the date of the General Meeting.

For the General Meeting of Shareholders on 17 April 2026, the deadline for entry in the share register was set at 5 p.m. on 10 April 2026. From 11 to 17 April 2026, no entries will be made in the share register.
