10 Trading blackout periods

In accordance with the internal regulations on insider trading, general trading blackouts apply during the following periods:

• December 1 until the day after the publication of the Annual Financial Statements of Bystronic AG.
• July 1 until the day after the publication of the Half-Year Financial Statements of Bystronic AG.

These general blackout periods apply to the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, the Extended Executive Committee, the employees of Group Finance, and their support staff (e.g. assistants, consultants, auditors).

In the context of special projects (primarily major acquisitions and divestments), the announcement of which could have a significant impact on the Bystronic share price, the CEO and CFO determine the point in time from which the persons involved are no longer permitted to trade Bystronic securities. The General Counsel maintains a list of insiders for the duration of the blackout period, which he updates in the event of changes and of which he notifies the insiders.
