The Management Board and Supervisory Board of aap Implantate AG ("aap" or the "Company") have, in the run-up to the adoption of the notice convening the Annual General Meeting to be held on July 25, 2023, intensively considered the Company's situation, its future development and the current and assumed macroeconomic environment in the further course of 2023. Based on the existing high macroeconomic uncertainties in connection with the war in Ukraine, the inflation-related interest rate and cost increases (e.g. development of energy prices and prices for raw materials), but also the current share price of the Company close to the EUR 1 line with a very low daily trading volume, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board have decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting, among other things, the reduction of the share capital of the Company from currently EUR 8,955,849.00 by EUR 6,716,887.00 to EUR 2,238,962.00 for resolution. This is particularly intended to safeguard the Company's freedom of action for any financing measures.
