Dear Sirs,
In my voting rights notification dated August 20, 2025, I informed you pursuant to Section 33 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) that a share purchase agreement dated August 19, 2025, between Geraer Batterie-Dienst GmbH, based in Fürth ('GBD'), and EW-Trade AG, based in Zug, Switzerland, ('EWT'), and a share purchase agreement between GBD and Mr. Herbert Büttner, residing in Küssnacht, Switzerland (“HB”), have been concluded. As a result, GBD now owns 5,161,972 shares (equivalent to a voting rights share of 24.51%) in Voltabox AG, based in Paderborn ('VBX'). The acquisition of voting rights in VBX by GBD is attributed to me pursuant to Section 34 (1) sentence 1 no. 1 WpHG.
Against this background, I hereby provide the following supplementary information pursuant to Section 43 (1) WpHG as of today:

1.4 No significant changes to the capital structure of VBX are currently planned, particularly with regard to the ratio of equity to debt financing and dividend policy.
2. Source of funds used for the acquisition
