Act on the Equal Participation of Women and Men in Executive Positions

For the Supervisory Board of thyssenkrupp AG, the law stipulates that the board must be composed of at least 30% women and at least 30% men. The 30% minimum for the proportion of women members as required by law and defined by the Supervisory Board has been exceeded since fiscal year 2019 / 2020. As of September 30, 2025, the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board and the employee representatives each included four female members, so the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board was 40%.

In May 2022, regarding the percentage of women on the Executive Board of thyssenkrupp AG, the Supervisory Board set a target of one woman and 33% based on an Executive Board of three members. If the size of the Executive Board were to be increased or decreased within the period until June 30, 2027 defined for achieving the target, the percentage represented by one female Executive Board member will apply.

In June 2022 the Executive Board of thyssenkrupp AG raised the female representation target for the first management level below the Executive Board to 33% (five women) and for the second level to 30% (14 women), to be implemented in both cases by June 30, 2027. Other companies in the thyssenkrupp group subject to codetermination law have also adopted targets for the proportion of women on supervisory boards, management boards, and at two management levels below, set a deadline for implementation and published both in accordance with statutory provisions.
