Annual General Meetings.

In accordance with the statutory provisions, no resolution of the Annual General Meeting is planned for this agenda item, as the Supervisory Board has already approved the Company Financial Statements and the Group Financial Statements. The Company Financial Statements are thus adopted.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board propose that the unappropriated profit for the financial year 2023 in the amount of € 3,802,488,470.32 be utilised as follows*:

• Distribution of a dividend in the amount of €6.02 per € 1 par value upon non-voting preference shares (57,320,307 preference shares), amounting to € 345,068,248,14;
• Distribution of a dividend in the amount of € 6.00 per € 1 par value on the dividend bearing share capital (573,864,574 common shares), amounting to € 3,443,187,444.00;
• Transfer of the remaining amount of € 14,232,778.18 to other revenue reserves.

The proposal for the utilisation of unappropriated profit reflects 5,931,093 treasury common shares and 1,600,101 treasury preference shares held by the Company at the date of the preparation of the annual financial statements on 12 March 2024. These treasury shares are not entitled to a dividend pursuant to § 71b AktG.

*The resolution proposal by the Management relates to the reporting date of 12 March 2024 (preparation of the annual financial statements). As a result of share buybacks by the company after this date, the number of shares entitled to dividends will be reduced by the date of the Annual General Meeting. The management will therefore submit an updated resolution proposal on agenda item 2 at the Annual General Meeting. The dividend amount per dividend-bearing share will remain unchanged. Parts of the net retained profits that are no longer required for distribution as a result of the share buy-backs are to be transferred to other revenue reserves. The updated proposed resolution will be published on the company's website approximately one week before the Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board propose that the acts of the members of the Board of Management in the financial year 2023 be ratified for this period.
