Frankfurt/​Main, 27 March 2023

The Exe­cu­ti­ve Board of Neon Equi­ty AG (ISIN DE000A3DW408 — ​“NEON”) has resol­ved today - sub­ject to the appr­oval of the Super­vi­so­ry Board - to pro­po­se to the Annu­al Gene­ral Mee­ting sche­du­led for May 10, 2023, the adop­ti­on of a reso­lu­ti­on on a capi­tal increase from com­pa­ny funds from EUR 40,050,100.00 by EUR 4,005,010.00 to EUR 44,055,110.00 by con­ver­ting retai­ned ear­nings into share capi­tal. For this pur­po­se, the Exe­cu­ti­ve Board allo­ca­ted the cor­re­spon­ding amount from the net inco­me for the year to retai­ned ear­nings when pre­pa­ring the annu­al finan­cial state­ments. The capi­tal increase is to be car­ri­ed out by issuing 4,005,010 new regis­tered no-par value shares with a notio­nal share in the capi­tal stock of EUR 1.00 per share, so that one new share will be issued for every ten old shares (so-cal­led bonus shares). The new shares are to car­ry divi­dend rights from Janu­ary 1, 2023.

The agen­da for the 2023 Annu­al Gene­ral Mee­ting with the manage­men­t’s pro­po­sed reso­lu­ti­ons is expec­ted to be published in the Ger­man Fede­ral Gazet­te on April 3, 2023.
