7. Resolution on elections to the Supervisory Board

Effective 30 November 2022, Dr Ulrich Schmidt resigned from his position on the Supervisory Board. In his place, Ms Kathrin Elisabeth Dahnke was appointed by a court to the Supervisory Board with effect from 1 December 2022, and elected as Chair of the Finance and Audit Com- mittee by the members of the Supervisory Board's Finance and Audit Committee on 5 Decem- ber 2022. The application by the Board of Management for a court order to appoint her was limited until the next Annual General Meeting as per Recommendation C.15 Sentence 2 of the German Corporate Governance Code in its version dated 28 April 2022 (GCGC). Ms Dahnke is now expected to be elected by the Annual General Meeting for a full term of office serving on the Supervisory Board.

On 26 September 2022, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Mr Hans-Georg Frey, also noti- fied the company of his intention to resign as a member of the Supervisory Board, and thus also as Chairman of the Supervisory Board, with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2023. In its meeting on 6 March 2023 the Supervisory Board, in close consultation with the ordinary shareholders, nominated Mr Rolf Najok as the successor to Mr Frey. Mr Najork is expected to be elected to the Supervisory Board for a full term of office by the Annual General Meeting. The intention is also for Mr Najork to be elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board at the Supervisory Board meeting to be held directly following the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the company's articles of association and Section 96, Paragraphs 1 and 2, Section 101 of the German Stock Corporation Act, as well as Section 7, Paragraph 1, Sentence 1, Item 1 of the German Co-Determination Act, the Supervisory Board of Jungheinrich AG is made up of six shareholder representatives and six employee represent- atives, of whom at least 30 per cent (i.e. at least four) must be women and at least 30 per cent (i.e. at least four) must be men.

Based on unanimous decisions taken by the shareholder representatives' side and the employee­ representatives' side, the Supervisory Board decided that, in accordance with Section 96,

4

Paragraph­ 2, Sentence 3 of the German Stock Corporation Act, the minimum ratio should not be applied to the Supervisory Board as a whole. The Supervisory Board must therefore include at least two women and at least two men among both the shareholder representatives and the employee representatives in order to fulfil the minimum ratio requirements in accordance with Section 96, Paragraph 2, Sentence 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act. The company fulfils this minimum ratio requirement.

In accordance with Article 11, Paragraph 1, Sentence 3 of the company's articles of association, four of the shareholder representatives are elected at the Annual General Meeting and two are appointed by the holders of registered shares. The holders of registered shares have appointed the following members to the Supervisory Board:

  • Mr Wolff Lange, Hamburg, Managing Director of LJH-Holding GmbH, Wohltorf, whose term of office will run until the end of the Annual General Meeting that will decide on the discharge of the Supervisory Board for the 2024 financial year,

and

  • Mr Andreas Wolf, Wohltorf, Managing Director of WJH-Holding GmbH, Aumühle and of Sachsenwald Management GmbH, Aumühle, whose term of office will run until the end of the Annual General Meeting that will decide on the discharge of the Supervisory Board for the 2027 financial year.

It is intended to conduct the elections to the Supervisory Board by means of individual voting.

7.1 The Supervisory Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting

that Ms Kathrin Elisabeth Dahnke, business graduate, self-employed management consultant, Bielefeld, be elected to the Supervisory Board for a full term of office.

Ms Dahnke also holds the following mandates on supervisory boards and regulatory committees as per Section 125, Paragraph 1, Sentence 5 of the German Stock Corporation Act. In each case the position pertains to memberships of legally required supervisory boards:

  • B. Braun SE, Melsungen,
  • Knorr-BremseAG, Munich (listed)
  • Aurubis AG, Hamburg (listed).

It is intended that Ms Dahnke be elected as a member and the Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee during the Supervisory Board and Finance and Audit Committee meetings directly following the Annual General Meeting. With regard to Section 100, Paragraph 5 of the German Stock Corporation Act and Recommendation D.3 GCGC, we declare that, in the opinion of the Supervisory Board, Ms Dahnke has the relevant expertise in the field of accounting con­ sisting of knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles and internal control and risk management systems, as well as in sustainability reporting and sustainability report audits.
