The Annual General Meeting 2025 of ABOUT YOU Holding SE was held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 10:00 CEST as a virtual Annual General Meeting.

For duly registered shareholders or their proxies, the entire Annual General Meeting was broadcast live in audio and video format via the Shareholder Portal, which could be accessed at annualgeneralmeeting.aboutyou.com from June 30, 2025 at 24:00 CEST.

After receipt of the registration and proof of share ownership, shareholders received a registration confirmation from the registration office containing their personal access data for the Shareholder Portal.

On the basis of Section 17 (8) of the Articles of Association in conjunction with Section 118a AktG, the Management Board has decided to hold the Annual General Meeting as a virtual Annual General Meeting without physical presence of shareholders or their proxies (with the exception of the proxies appointed by ABOUT YOU).

The Annual General Meeting 2025 was held in German.

Only those shareholders who have duly registered and provided proof of share ownership were entitled to exercise their voting rights by electronic postal vote. Votes could be cast by electronic postal vote exclusively via the Shareholder Portal. The postal vote could be cast from July 1, 2025 and also on the day of the Annual General Meeting until the formal end of the opportunity to exercise voting rights by the chairman of the meeting following the debate. Until this time, votes could be changed or revoked via the Shareholder Portal.

Shareholders could also have their voting rights and other exercisable shareholder rights exercised by a proxy, e.g. by an intermediary as per Section 135 AktG, a shareholders' association or another third party. In this case, too, timely registration and proof of ownership for the relevant shares was required.

The statements must have been received by ABOUT YOU by the end of July 16, 2025, 24:00 CEST. Statements must have been submitted in text form in German via the Shareholder Portal. They may comprise a maximum of 10,000 characters (including spaces).

ABOUT YOU will make the statements available on the Shareholder Portal, which could be accessed at annualgeneralmeeting.aboutyou.com, no later than four days before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. by July 17, 2025, 24:00 CEST, stating the name of the submitting shareholder.

Shareholders or their proxies who were electronically connected to the Annual General Meeting have the right to speak at the Annual General Meeting via video communication.

To exercise the right to speak, contributions could be registered via the Shareholder Portal from the start of the Annual General Meeting at the latest.

The technical prerequisite for exercising the right to speak is that shareholders or their proxies have an Internet-enabled device that also has a camera and a microphone that could be accessed from the browser.

ABOUT YOU reserved the right to check the functionality of the video communication between shareholders or their proxies and ABOUT YOU during the Annual General Meeting and prior to their turn to speak and reserved the right to refuse such speaker if the functionality was not ensured.

Subject to Section 126 (2) and (3) AktG, countermotions from shareholders that are to be made accessible, including the name, any statement of reasons and any statement by the management, will be published without delay at annualgeneralmeeting.aboutyou.com.

For nominations by shareholders (election of the auditor and the auditor of the Sustainability Report (agenda item 5) and elections to the Supervisory Board (agenda item 6)) pursuant to Section 127 AktG, the above statements including the deadline for making the nomination accessible (receipt no later than July 7, 2025, 24:00 CEST) apply accordingly; the nomination does not have to be substantiated. The Management Board is also not required to make the nomination proposal accessible in accordance with Section 127 sentence 3 AktG if the proposal does not contain the name, profession, and place of residence of the proposed person and, in the case of election to the Supervisory Board, information on other mandates in accordance with Section 125 (1) sentence 5 AktG.
