Deutsche Lufthansa AG: Information about the annual general meeting

In connection with the annual general meeting (AGM) of Deutsche Lufthansa AG (ISIN DE0008232125), the following schedule applies for processing in CASCADE-RS:

In the interests of the shareholders of the company, compliance is required with the statutory obligation of banks to re-register/register the positions in the name of the shareholders pursuant to §67, 4 (1) Stock Corporation Act (AktG).

Omitted registrations will generally lead to discrepancies in the share register. Therefore, re-registrations should be made as soon as possible after the purchase transaction.

As Clearstream Banking¹ already stated in Announcement RS134 and which is explained in more detail on the website of the issuer, early entry in the share register is required to assure voting rights as per §67 para. 1 AktG (Stock Corporation Act) in conjunction with the statutory requirements of the Aviation Compliance Documentation act (LuftNaSiG). The conditions for entry are listed again under the heading "Notice on entry in the share register".

It is expressly stated that it is not possible to enter in the share register intermediaries who solely mediate the legal position of the acquiring party. Re-registrations to shareholders as proprietary holdings are possible. This also applies particularly to positions of capital investment trusts/funds that are to be registered as proprietary holdings.

Information on instructions in CASCADE-RS

For the participation of shareholders in the annual general meeting and the associated exercise of voting rights, the shareholding shown in the share register of the company on the last re-registration date/technical record date is decisive.

Re-registrations for shareholders who would like to participate in or be represented at the annual general meeting, may be entered in CASCADE-RS no later than on the last re-registration date/technical record date (status "K" - checked).

• Transfer times for instructions that are planned for processing in the 3rd allocation run:
  • Until 16:30 data upload via the Investors Portal
  • Until 16:45 SWIFT, File Transfer
  • Until 17:00 online via CASCADE-RS in status "K"
• Transfer times for instructions that are planned for processing in the 4th allocation run:
  • Until 18:20 data upload via the Investors Portal
  • Until 18:45 SWIFT, File Transfer
  • Until 19:00 online via CASCADE-RS in status "K"

Considering the processing timeframe at the register companies on the last re-registration date/technical record date, we recommend that the number of the instructions, transferred in the fourth allocation run, is as small as possible.

Fourth allocation run for an unlimited period

The allocation runs for Deutsche Lufthansa AG shares are conducted on business days at 10:30, 13:30, 17:00 and until further notice also at 21:00.

The information and instructions in Announcement RS18133 apply.

Delivery remains unaffected

Clearstream Banking will not block holdings at any time. After confirmation of the re-registration by the share register, securities of the registered holdings are managed in CASCADE-RS in registered positions. The entering and processing of instructions for position transfers both from the allocated positions following successful allocation processing as well as from registered positions into the deliverable unregistered positions in order to fulfill delivery obligations is possible, without restrictions and at any time during the planned processing cycles if there are sufficient holdings. Schedules to be observed when instructing position transfers before the annual general meeting are described in the above table.
