Effective June 30, 2025, Ralph Werner resigned from his position on the Supervisory Board. The Bremen Local Court appointed Ingo Tebje to succeed him on the Supervisory Board on July 2, 2025.

Composition of the Board of Management

The composition of the Board of Management and the involvement of the Board of Management in other bodies in accordance with Section 125 (1) sentence 5 AktG are presented in Annex 2 to the notes.

The following changes were made to the composition of the Board of Management compared with December 31, 2024:

At its meeting on February 22, 2024, the Supervisory Board appointed Matthias Magnor as the new Chairman of the Board of Management from January 1, 2025, for the remaining term of his mandate until September 30, 2029. He therefore succeeded Frank Dreeke, who left the company at the end of 2024 upon reaching the standard retirement age for members of the Board of Management, which BLG LOGISTICS introduced in accordance with the recommendations of the Code.

When Mr. Magnor was appointed to the central position of Chairman of the Board of Management of BLG AG in the spring of 2024, all parties expressed the wish that Mr. Magnor be appointed until the end of December 31, 2029. This was not possible at the time due to mandatory requirements under German stock corporation law. Therefore, at its meeting on February 20, 2025, the Supervisory Board resolved – on the basis of the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee and in agreement with Matthias Magnor – to revoke Matthias Magnor’s appointment as a member and Chairman of the Board of Management and to subsequently reappoint him as a member of the Board of Management of BLG AG with effect from December 31, 2029, and to appoint him as the Chairman of the Board of Management of BLG AG for the duration of this mandate until December 31, 2029.

At its meeting on August 15, 2024, the Supervisory Board appointed Axel Krichel as a new member of the Board of Management, with effect from January 1, 2025, succeeding Matthias Magnor as COO (Chief Operating Officer). His mandate runs until December 31, 2027.

At an extraordinary meeting on July 1, 2025, the Supervisory Board resolved to renew the contract with Michael Blach for a further five years. Mr. Blach has now been appointed until May 31, 2031.

Transactions with the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board

Transactions with the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board were limited to services rendered in connection with the Board positions and employment contracts, and the remuneration paid for these services.

Remuneration of the Supervisory Board

The active members of the Supervisory Board received the following remuneration:

In addition, certain employee representatives on the Supervisory Board receive a regular salary from their employment in the Group in an amount corresponding to appropriate remuneration for the function or activity they exercise in the Group. In this regard, they received EUR 36 thousand (previous year: EUR 34 thousand) in contributions to statutory retirement plans in the reporting year.

Supervisory Board remuneration consists exclusively of short-term benefits.

Remuneration for intra-group Supervisory Board mandates is borne by other companies within the BLG Group.

As in the previous year, members of the Supervisory Board had not been granted any loans or advance payments as of December 31, 2025. Similarly, as in the previous year, no contingent liabilities were entered into for the benefit of members of the Supervisory Board.

Remuneration of the Board of Management

For the 2025 financial year, the Board of Management received total remuneration in accordance with Section 314 (1) no. 6a HGB of EUR 3,758 thousand (previous year: EUR 3,785 thousand). This includes basic remuneration, fringe benefits and variable remuneration payable in the short term. In addition, provisions of EUR 1,046 thousand (previous year: EUR 1,063 thousand) were recognized for the 2025 financial year as of December 31, 2025, under commercial law. Upon the target being achieved in the reporting year, the respective entitlement for the reporting year is recognized in the provisions. This amount is included in the measurement of multi-year remuneration components for the 2025 reporting year (long-term component). However, actual payment is measured against target achievement, as determined by the Supervisory Board on the basis of the applicable remuneration system over the multi-year period to be assessed, namely four years (long-term components). This is based on financial (70 percent weighting) and environmental and social (30 percent weighting) performance criteria. When measuring provisions for long-term variable remuneration, in the year the provision is recognized, the expected level of achievement for the individual performance criteria is estimated over the multi-year period. These estimates are subject to inherent uncertainty. The expected level of achievement is updated annually until the payout date of the long-term variable remuneration, and the amount of the provision is adjusted accordingly on an ongoing basis. At the reporting date, obligations for variable remuneration components came to EUR 5,310 thousand (previous year EUR 5,020 thousand; EUR 5,410 thousand under commercial law; previous year: EUR 5,128 thousand).

The present value of pension obligations according to IAS 19 for former members of the Board of Management totaled EUR 6,229 thousand as of December 31, 2025. As in the previous year, members of the Board of Management had not been granted any loans or advance payments as of December 31, 2025. Similarly, as in the previous year, no contingent liabilities were entered into for the benefit of members of the Board of Management. In the 2025 financial year, former members of the Board of Management received total benefits (in particular, pension benefits) of EUR 311 thousand.

The members of the Board of Management were granted pension entitlements, some of which are payable by companies of the BLG Group. Otherwise, the entitlements are payable by related parties.

As of December 31, 2025, the present value of pension obligations for members of the Board of Management active as of December 31, 2025, total EUR 3,619 thousand (previous year: EUR 4,041 thousand). The related plan assets total EUR 6,199 thousand (previous year: EUR 6,043 thousand).

The pension commitments provide for a retirement and disability pension amounting to 10 percent of the basic salary. They also provide for a survivor’s pension amounting to 60 percent of the agreed retirement pension. In amendments dated January 2020, it was agreed with each individual member of the Board of Management that in the event that they leave the company prematurely without a claim event occurring, there would no longer be a pro rata reduction in the defined benefit if the vesting conditions were met.

The remuneration of key management personnel at Group level subject to disclosure pursuant to IAS 24 comprises the remuneration of the active Board of Management and of the Supervisory Board.
