Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA Fresenius transitions to registered shares – automatic conversion for shareholders

• More direct and efficient communication with shareholders
• Conversion to be handled automatically by custodian banks
• New ISIN: DE000FRE5EN2; new WKN: FRE5EN
• First trading day as registered shares: August 13, 2026

Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA will convert its ordinary bearer shares into registered shares, implementing a resolution approved at the 2026 Annual General Meeting. Shareholders do not need to take any action, as custodian banks will carry out the conversion automatically.

Registered shares will enable Fresenius to engage more directly and transparently with its shareholders. As required by law, the company will maintain a share register. The register contains the information required by law for the administration of registered shares and shareholder communication, including the shareholder’s name, email address, and number of shares held.

For shareholders, the rights attached to their shares will remain unchanged. This applies in particular to dividend rights, voting rights, and the right to attend the Annual General Meeting. The custody of shares in shareholders’ securities accounts and the payment of dividends through custodian banks will remain unchanged.

The conversion will be carried out on a one-for-one basis. The technical conversion in shareholders’ securities accounts will take place after the close of trading on August 12, 2026. From August 13, 2026, Fresenius shares will be traded as registered shares. The new ISIN DE000FRE5EN2 and the new German Securities Identification Number (WKN) FRE5EN will then apply. The stock exchange ticker symbol FRE will remain unchanged. Fresenius registered shares will continue to be listed on the Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Munich stock exchanges.

Further information on the conversion to registered shares is available to shareholders in the Annual General Meeting section and the FAQ section of the Fresenius website.
