• Annual General Meeting to take place on 10 August 2022
• Six new Supervisory Board candidates nominated for election: Henning Giesecke, Denis Hall, Barbara Knoflach, Hans-Hermann Lotter, Marika Lulay, and José Sevilla Álvarez

Wiesbaden, 30 June 2022 – Aareal Bank AG has today invited shareholders to its ordinary Annual General Meeting on 10 August 2022. Originally scheduled for 18 May, it had been postponed due to the takeover process by Atlantic BidCo GmbH. In light of the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic, the AGM will once again be held in a virtual format, without physical presence of shareholders.

The AGM agenda comprises the election of six Supervisory Board members, amongst other things. The Supervisory Board proposes the election of Henning Giesecke, Denis Hall, Barbara Knoflach, Hans-Hermann Lotter, Marika Lulay, and José Sevilla Álvarez to the Supervisory Board. They shall replace Holger Giese, Friedrich Munsberg and Dr Ulrich Theileis, who were appointed by court order in January 2022 and had agreed at short notice to fill the temporary vacancies on the Supervisory Board, and who will leave the Supervisory Board at their own request, as will Jana Brendel and Elisabeth Stheeman. In addition, Richard Peters will resign from his office for reasons of age, following nine years as a member of the Supervisory Board. Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Prof. Dr Hermann Wagner, and Sylvia Seignette will remain in office as shareholder representatives to the Supervisory Board.

Prof. Dr Hermann Wagner, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Aareal Bank AG, commented: “We would like to thank all Supervisory Board members leaving the Board for their dedication, and the members who were court-appointed at the beginning of the year for making their services available at such short notice. Our newly proposed candidates are also excellently suited to take on a Supervisory Board mandate. They are highly skilled, dispose of international experience in areas relevant for Aareal Bank Group, and diversify the Supervisory Board’s overall profile of required skills and expertise. Six Supervisory Board members will remain on the Board, thus ensuring the necessary continuity in the Board’s work.”
