Vossloh Aktiengesellschaft
By letter dated April 15, 2021, we were notified in the name and on behalf of Ms. Nadia Thiele with reference to the voting rights notification of the notifying person pursuant to sections 33, 34 German Securities Trading Act (‘WpHG’) dated March 25, 2021, regarding the exceedance on February 23, 2021, of the thresholds of 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and 50% of the voting rights in Vossloh Aktiengesellschaft by attribution via the companies listed under No. 8 of the attachment to the voting rights notification pursuant to section 43 (1) WpHG: 1. Objectives of the acquisition of voting rights (section 43 (1) sentences 1 and 3 WpHG) (a) The indirect shareholding of the notifying person in Vossloh AG is attributed to the notifying person as a result of the acquisition of the deceased Heinz Hermann Thiele’s shares in Stella Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH by way of inheritance. The indirect acquisition of voting rights in Vossloh AG by the notifying person therefore serves neither the implementation of strategic objectives nor the generation of trading profits. (b) The notifying person currently does not intend to directly or indirectly acquire additional voting rights in Vossloh AG within the next twelve months by acquisition or otherwise. (c) The notifying person does not seek to influence the composition of Vossloh AG’s administrative, management or supervisory bodies. (d) The notifying person does not seek to significantly alter Vossloh AG’s capital structure, especially with regard to the ratio of equity and debt financing and the dividend policy. 2. Origin of funds used for the acquisition of voting rights (section 43 (1) sentence 4 WpHG) Neither equity nor debt was used to acquire the voting rights. The (indirect) acquisition took place by way of inheritance.
