In the course of a spin-off for absorption, half of the voting rights previously held by Frequentis Group Holding GmbH (FN 477997m M) in FREQUENTIS AG, i.e. 3,960,000 voting rights (corresponding to approximately 29.82% of the share capital and voting rights) in FREQUENTIS AG, were spun off to CDS Capital GmbH (FN 658406 w), which is also controlled by Mr. Johannes Bardach. The 3,960,000 voting rights in FREQUENTIS AG affected by this spin-off were reported as a financial instrument of CDS Capital GmbH in the notification pursuant to Section 131 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018 dated September 30, 2025.
With the spin-off now implemented, CDS Capital GmbH no longer holds financial instruments pursuant to Section 131 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018, and Frequentis Group Holding GmbH and CDS Capital GmbH now each directly hold 3,960,000 voting rights (corresponding to approximately 29.82% of the share capital and voting rights) in FREQUENTIS AG (there has been no change in the total number of direct and indirect voting rights and share capital held by Mr. Johannes Bardach in FREQUENTIS AG).
