FUCHS PETROLUB SE
/ Law amendment of securities according to § 50 Para. 1, No. 1 of the WpHG [the German Securities Trading Act]
FUCHS PETROLUB SE Mannheim Notification of the conversion of no-par value bearer shares to no-par value registered shares and the conversion of the stock exchange listing ISIN: DE0005790406 and DE0005790430 / WKN: 579040 and 579043 (old) The Annual General Meeting of FUCHS PETROLUB SE, Mannheim, (the “Company“) resolved on May 4, 2021 under agenda item 8 to convert its no-par value bearer shares to no-par value registered shares and to make the corresponding amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association. The conversion affects both the ordinary and the preference shares of the Company. The amendments to the Articles of Association associated with the conversion were entered in the commercial register of the Company at the District Court of Mannheim (HRB 717394) on June 24, 2021 and thus became effective. The Company’s share capital amounting to EUR 139,000,000 is now divided into a total of 69,500,000 registered ordinary shares and 69,500,000 registered preference shares, each representing a notional share of EUR 1.00 in the share capital. The last trading day for the bearer ordinary shares and the bearer preference shares is August 13, 2021. Any open orders on the stock exchange that have not been executed on August 13, 2021 will be cancelled as a result of the conversion. As of August 16, 2021, the ordinary shares of the Company will be traded under the new ISIN DE000A3E5D56 and the preference shares of the Company will be traded under the new ISIN DE000A3E5D64 as no-par value registered shares of the Company. The conversion of the custodian account to registered shares will take place on August 17, 2021 in the evening (record date). For this purpose, any no-par value bearer shares of the Company held in custodian accounts at financial institutions will be converted into no-par value registered shares of the Company, in each case at a ratio of 1:1. As of August 18, 2021 (payment date), the registered ordinary shares will be recorded under the new ISIN DE000A3E5D56 and the registered preference shares under the new ISIN DE000A3E5D64. The share capital divided into registered ordinary shares and registered preference shares will be securitized in one global certificate for each class of shares, which is deposited with Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main. The Company’s shareholders will participate as co-owners in the collective holdings of ordinary shares and preference shares of the Company held at Clearstream Banking AG in proportion to their notional share. In the case of registered shares, only those shareholders entered in the share register as registered shareholders are considered by the Company to be shareholders. Consequently, only those shareholders entered in the Company’s share register as shareholders are entitled to participate in and to exercise their voting rights at the Company’s General Meeting. In principle, only ordinary shares issued by the Company confer voting rights, while preference shares do not. Conversion to registered shares therefore requires the establishment of a share register. For this purpose, the shareholders, insofar as they are natural persons, must state their name, date of birth and postal address, insofar as they are legal entities or (partially) incorporated companies, their company name, registered office and business address, and in any case an electronic address and the number of shares held in the Company. The legal status of a shareholder is not affected by the conversion from no-par value bearer shares to no-par value registered shares, provided the shareholder is listed in the share register. The shareholders’ participation in the Company remains unchanged, as do the rights associated with their shares. In addition, the right of shareholders to alienate their shares will be neither restricted nor impeded; in particular, the transfer of the Company’s registered shares does not require the consent of the Company. DZ BANK AG acts as the settlement agent. Fuchs Petrolub SE The Executive Board
