Shareholders of Schaltbau Holding AG (the "Company") are kindly requested to thoroughly read and acknowledge the following legal notices before being allowed to access the website containing information and documents in connection with the Offer and the Delisting Offer.

On this website you will find the offer document published on 25 August 2021, which contains the terms and conditions of the Offer in detail, the publication of the decision to make the Offer pursuant to Sections 29 para. 1, 34, 10 paras. 1 and 3 WpÜG dated 7 August 2021, the publications of announcements pursuant to Section 23 WpÜG, as well as press releases and other information regarding the Offer. The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, "BaFin") has permitted the publication of the offer document on 25 August 2021. All information contained and documents made available on this website are for information purposes only, and to comply with statutory provisions, in particular those contained in the WpÜG and the German Ordinance on the Contents of the Offer Document, the Consideration in Takeover Offers and Mandatory Offers and the Exemption from the Obligation to Publish and to Make an Offer (WpÜG-Angebotsverordnung). The Offer relates to shares in a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) and is subject to the statutory provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany on the implementation of such an offer. The Offer was not subject to review or registration proceedings of any securities regulator outside the Federal Republic of Germany, and has not been approved or recommended by any securities regulator.

On this website, you will also find the offer document published on 16 November 2021, which contains the terms of the Delisting Offer in detail, the publication of the decision to make the Delisting Offer in accordance with Section 10 para. 1 WpÜG in conjunction with Section 39 BörsG, dated 7 October 2021, the publications of announcements pursuant to Section 23 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz – WpÜG), as well as press releases and other information regarding the Delisting Offer.

All information contained and documents made available on this website are for information purposes only and in order to comply with the provisions of the WpÜG, the WpÜG-Angebotsverordnung, the BörsG and other applicable laws in connection with the Delisting Offer. The Delisting Offer relates to shares in a German company and is subject to the statutory provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany on the implementation of such an offer. The Delisting Offer will not be submitted to the review or registration procedures of any securities regulatory outside of Federal Republic of Germany and has not been approved or recommended by any securities regulator outside of Federal Republic of Germany. The Bidder and the persons acting in conjunction with the Bidder therefore do not assume any responsibility for compliance with any law other than the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Shareholders of the Company whose place of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode is in the United States of America (the "United States") should note that the Offer and the Delisting Offer are made in respect of securities of a company which is a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the shares of which are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Offer and the Delisting Offer are made in the United States in reliance on the Tier 1 exemption from certain requirements of the Exchange Act, and is principally governed by disclosure and other regulations and procedures of the Federal Republic of Germany, which are different from those of the United States. To the extent that the Offer and the Delisting Offer are subject to the securities laws of the United States, such laws only apply to shareholders of the Company whose place of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode is in the United States and no other person has any claims under such laws.

It may be difficult for shareholders of the Company who have their place of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode outside the Federal Republic of Germany to enforce rights and claims subject to the laws of a country other than their country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode, in particular since the Company is organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and registered at a commercial register (Handelsregister) maintained in the Federal Republic of Germany, and some or all of its directors and officers may be residents of a country other than the country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode of the relevant shareholder of the Company. Shareholders of the Company may not be able to sue, in a court in their country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode, a foreign entity or its directors and officers for violations of the laws of their country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode. Further, it may be difficult to compel a foreign entity or its affiliates to subject themselves to a judgment of a court in the country of residence, incorporation, or habitual abode of the relevant shareholder of the Company.

Therefore, custodian investment service providers may not publish, dispatch, distribute, or disseminate the offer document or other documents related to the Offer outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area and the United States unless in compliance with all applicable domestic and foreign statutory provisions.
