Annual General Meeting

Delivery Hero is the sole shareholder of Subsidiary.

Thus, Subsidiary has close economic and financial relations with Delivery Hero. In order to establish a fiscal unity according to Sections 14, 17 of the German Corporate Tax Act (Körperschaftsteuergesetz, KStG) and Sec. 2 para. 2 sentence 2 German Trade Tax Act (Gewerbesteuergesetz, GewStG) the following profit and loss transfer agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement") shall be concluded.

    • 1
      Transfer of Profits
  1. Subsidiary undertakes in analogy to Sec. 291 para. 1 sentence 1 var. 2 German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG) (profit and loss transfer agreement) to transfer its entire profits - subject to the creation and release of revenue reserves according to subsection 2 - within the meaning and to the extent of Sec. 301 AktG - to be applied as amended from time to time - to Delivery Hero.
  2. Subject to approval of Delivery Hero, the Subsidiary may transfer amounts from its annual net income to the revenue reserves according to Sec. 272 para. 3 sentence 2 alt. 3 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) to the extent permissible under commercial law and economically justified according to prudent business judgment. Other revenue reserves according to Sec. 272 para. 3 sentence 2 var. 3 HGB created during the term of this Agreement must be dissolved upon request by Delivery Hero and used to offset an annual net loss or transferred as profit.
  3. The transfer of amounts resulting from the dissolution of retained profit reserves generated prior to this Agreement and the transfer of amounts resulting from the dissolution of capital reserves according to Sec. 272 para. 2 HGB created prior to or during the term of this Agreement is excluded. Dissolution and distribution of such

revenue reserves created or accrued prior to this Agreement or from the dissolution of capital reserves according to Sec. 272 para. 2 HGB outside this Agreement is permitted.

  1. During a fiscal year or prior to the approval of the annual financial statements of a fiscal year of Subsidiary, Delivery Hero may claim advance payments on any transfer of profits which will presumably become due for such business year if and to the extent the Subsidiary's liquidity allows for such advance payments. Any advance payments by Subsidiary are to be setoff with the actual amount of the profit transfer claim of Delivery Hero. If and to the extent the advance payments of Subsidiary exceed the actual profit transfer claim of Delivery Hero, the remaining excess difference has to be paid back by Delivery Hero to Subsidiary at Subsidiary's respective balance sheet date (Bilanzstichtag). If both Parties mutually agree, the excess difference, which is not paid back on the balance sheet date of Subsidiary, may be converted into an interest- bearing loan.
  2. If this Agreement terminates during the course of a fiscal year, Subsidiary is obliged to balance Delivery Hero's claim for profit transfer incurred up to the date of termination. The (interim) balance sheet as per the date of termination shall be decisive (§ 5 para. 8 below).

§ 2

Loss Absorption

  1. Delivery Hero is obliged to compensate any loss of Subsidiary according to Sec. 302 AktG as amended from time to time.
  2. During a fiscal year or prior to the approval of the annual financial statements of a fiscal year of Subsidiary, Subsidiary may claim advance payments on the

Any advance payments by Delivery Hero are to be setoff with the actual amount of the loss compensation claim of Subsidiary. If and to the extent the advance payments of Delivery Hero exceed the actual loss compensation claim of Subsidiary, the remaining excess difference has to be paid back by Subsidiary to Delivery Hero at Subsidiary's respective balance sheet date (Bilanzstichtag). If both Parties mutually agree, the excess difference, which is not paid back on the balance sheet date of Subsidiary, may be converted into an interest-bearing loan.

3. If this Agreement terminates during the course of a fiscal year, Delivery Hero is obliged to compensate the losses of Subsidiary incurred up to the date of termination. The (interim) balance sheet as per the date of termination shall be decisive (§ 5 para. 8 below).
