Delisting of METRO AG shares

Following the approval by the Frankfurt stock exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) of METRO AG's application for the revocation of the admission of METRO shares (ordinary and preference shares) to trade in the regulated market of the Frankfurt stock exchange and in the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard), the shares can no longer be traded there after the end of 16 April 2025. The revocation is in accordance with the end of the acceptance period for the public delisting offer of EP Global Commerce GmbH (EPGC) as stated in the offer document.

METRO expects that other stock exchanges will also terminate the inclusion of METRO shares in the open market in close temporal proximity with the delisting taking effect and that, in particular, the management of the Berlin stock exchange (Berliner Wertpapierbörse) will also revoke the inclusion of METRO's ordinary shares in the sub-segment of the open market “Berlin Second Regulated Market” of the Berlin Stock Exchange as a consequence of the delisting.

With the delisting from the regulated market, some of METRO's financial reporting and capital market publication obligations will also cease to apply.
