In addition, the AGM will listen to independent directors' report on their work in 2025.

In addition, the First A-Shares Class Meeting, the First D-Shares Class Meeting and the First H-Shares Class Meeting of 2026 are to be held immediately after the AGM on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 (jointly the 'Class Meetings'). At each of the Class Meetings, four special resolutions will be proposed for the Class Shareholders to consider and approve, if thought fit:

Special Proposals (marked with #) under Section I 9-13, 18, 20, 22-24 and Section II 1-4 are those significant proposals which according to PRC Company Law and the Company's Articles of Association have to be reviewed and approved by 2/3 (two thirds) of voting shareholders including their proxies at the meetings. The resolution under Section I - 24 and Section II - 4 have to be also approved by a majority (1/2) of the votes cast on a poll by the independent shareholders (shareholders who does not have a material interest in proposed D share buy-back offer which is different from the interests of all other Shareholders) present in person or by proxy at the AGM and the Class Meetings.

The Class Meetings Proposals under Section II are completely included in the proposals of the General Meeting as well (refer to agenda items 12, 13, 22 and 24 in Section I).

The D-Shares Class Meeting Votes: D-Shareholders have the right to vote both at the General Meeting and at the D-Shares Class Meeting. However, given that all proposals of the D-Shares Class Meeting are completely included in the proposals of the General Meeting as well, D-Shareholders may choose to only vote at the General Meeting. If they do so, their voting results will be automatically adopted to the D-Shares Class Meeting in case D-Shareholders do not submit their voting form or submit a blank voting form for the D-Shares Class Meeting. Thus, D-Shareholders only have to specifically vote at the D-Shares Class Meeting if they want to deviate with the D-Shares votes from their votes at the General Meeting. Otherwise, voting at the General Meeting is sufficient for them.

Only those shareholders are entitled to attend the General Meeting and the D-shares Class Meeting and to cast votes (including exercising their voting right by absentee vote) whose names are entered in the Company's share register after close of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 15 June 2026 (Record Date) and whose registration for the General Meeting is received by the Company during the registration period until 23 June 2026, 17:00 (CEST) at the following address

The same will apply to any acquisition of shares after the Record Date. A person who does not hold any shares on the Record Date and becomes a Shareholder only after that date will not have a right to either vote at, or participate, in the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting.

Shareholders may also have their voting rights and other rights exercised at the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting by an authorised party after issuing a corresponding proxy. In the case of a proxy, timely registration of the holding of shares concerned is always necessary pursuant to the above rules.

Nor do proxies named by the Company accept instructions to speak, to raise objections to General Meeting or D- Shares Class Meeting resolutions, to ask questions or to table motions.

Any issuance of a proxy, its revocation and evidence thereof in dealings with the Company must be in text form. Shareholders may also use the registration form for the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting to issue proxies and instructions.

2. Voting by absentee vote

Shareholders may also exercise their voting rights at the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting by absentee vote. In the case of absentee voting, too, timely registration of the holding of shares concerned is always necessary under the provisions of IV. above.

Absentee votes may be sent to the Company by 23 June 2023, 17:00 (CEST) (arriving) to the address mentioned above under IV.

This form is sent to the shareholders duly entered in the share register, along with the invitation to the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting. The form will also be available for download on the Company's website at

Shareholders are asked to use this form for absentee voting wherever possible. Absentee voting does not preclude attendance at the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting. The personal attendance of a shareholder or an authorised third party at the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting shall be deemed to be a revocation of a previously given absentee vote.

The complete content of each agenda item of this invitation is available on the Company's website at

Further documents will be uploaded on the Company website before the day of the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting. After the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting, the voting results will be made available on the Company's website.

At the time of convening the General Meeting, the total number of the issued shares of the Company amounts to 9,446,598,493 registered shares with a par value of RMB 1.00 each, comprising 6,308,552,654 A-Shares, 2,867,031,866 H-Shares, and 271,013,973 D-Shares. Each of the A-Shares, H- Shares, and D-Shares grants one vote at the General Meeting and the respective Class Meeting. Hence, the total number of voting rights at the time of convening the General Meeting amounts to 9,446,598,493.

In addition, the AGM will listen to independent directors' report on their work in 2021.

In addition, the A-Shares Class Meeting, the D-Shares Class Meeting and the H-Shares Class Meeting are to be held immediately after the AGM on 28 June 2022 (jointly the 'Class Meetings'). At each of the Class Meetings, five special resolutions will be proposed for the Class Shareholders to consider and approve, if thought fit:

Special Proposals (marked with #) under Section I 11, 13-17, 20-23 and Section II 1-5 are those significant proposals which according to PRC Company Law and the Company's Articles of Association have to be reviewed and approved by 2/3 (two thirds) of voting shareholders including their proxies at the meetings.

The Class Meetings Proposals under Section II are completely included in the proposals of the General Meeting as well.

The D-Shares Class Meeting Votes: D-Shareholders have the right to vote both at the General Meeting and at the D-Shares Class Meeting. However, given that all proposals of the D-Shares Class Meeting are completely included in the proposals of the General Meeting as well, D-Shareholders may choose to only vote at the General Meeting. If they do so, their voting results will be automatically adopted to the D-Shares Class Meeting in case D-Shareholders do not submit their voting form or submit a blank voting form for the D-Shares Class Meeting. Thus, D-Shareholders only have to specifically vote at the D-Shares Class Meeting if they want to deviate with the D-Shares votes from their votes at the General Meeting. Otherwise, voting at the General Meeting is sufficient for them.

Only those shareholders are entitled to attend the General Meeting and the D-shares Class Meeting and to cast votes (including exercising their voting right by absentee vote) whose names are entered in the Company's share register after close of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 20 June 2022 (Record Date) and whose registration for the General Meeting is received by the Company during the registration period until 27 June 2022, 17:00 (CEST) at the following address

in German or English language.

Shareholders are advised that they may freely dispose of their shares even after registration to the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting. The only criterion for participating in the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting and the number of voting rights to be exercised in relation to the Company is the number of shares held by a shareholder as of the Record Date, i.e. any disposal or other transfer of shares after the Record Date will not have any effect on a Shareholder's rights to participate in the meeting or the number of voting rights to be exercised. The same will apply to any acquisition of shares after the Record Date. A person who does not hold any shares on the Record Date and becomes a Shareholder only after that date will not have a right to either vote at, or participate in the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting.

1. Voting through a proxy

Shareholders may also have their voting rights and other rights exercised at the General Meeting and the D-Shares Class Meeting by an authorised party after issuing a corresponding proxy.
