Pierer Konzerngesellschaft mbH and Pierer Industrie AG, as follows: 1. The investment primarily serves the implementation of strategic objectives, whereby the sale of shares, also for the purpose of achieving trading profits, is not excluded. 2. Depending on the stock exchange price and the general performance of the company, it is intended to obtain further voting rights, if any, by acquisition or otherwise within the next twelve month. 3. The notifying parties seek representation in the Supervisory Board of LEONI AG in commensuration with their shareholding. The Company does currently not aim to influence the composition of the Management Board of LEONI AG. In addition, it is intended to address opinions, considerations and recommendations to the Company and thus possibly influence the appointment or dismissal of members of the Company's administrative, management and supervisory bodies. 4. No significant change in the capital structure of the company, in particular regarding the ratio of equity and debt financing or the dividend policy, is currently intended. 5. The acquisition of the voting rights was partly financed from own funds and partly based on attribution pursuant to section 34, para. 1, sentence 1, no. 6 WpHG. =---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021-05-03 The DGAP Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
