EQS-HV: Haier Smart Home Co. Ltd: Bekanntmachung der Einberufung zur Hauptversammlung am 20.12.2024 in Qingdao City mit dem Ziel der europaweiten Verbreitung gemäß §121 AktG

Only those shareholders are entitled to attend the General Meeting and to cast votes (including exercising their voting right by absentee vote) whose names are entered in the Company's share register after close of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 11 December 2024 (Record Date) and whose registration for the General Meeting is received by the Company during the registration period until 19 December 2024, 17:00 (CET) at the following address

in German or English language.

Shareholders are advised that they may freely dispose of their shares even after registration to the General Meeting. The only criterion for participating in the General Meeting and the number of voting rights to be exercised in relation to the Company is the number of shares held by a shareholder as of the Record Date, i.e. any disposal or other transfer of shares after the Record Date will not have any effect on a Shareholder's rights to participate in the meeting or the number of voting rights to be exercised. The same will apply to any acquisition of shares after the Record Date. A person who does not hold any shares on the Record Date and becomes a Shareholder only after that date will not have a right to either vote at, or participate in the General Meeting.

1. Voting through a proxy

Shareholders may also have their voting rights and other rights exercised at the General Meeting by an authorised party after issuing a corresponding proxy. In the case of a proxy, timely registration of the holding of shares concerned is always necessary pursuant to the above rules.

The Company also offers its shareholders the option of authorising proxies named by the Company. These proxies shall exercise voting rights as instructed in the event of their authorisation and are not authorised to exercise voting rights without a specific instruction from the shareholder. Nor do proxies named by the Company accept instructions to speak, to raise objections to General Meeting resolutions, to ask questions or to table motions.

Any issuance of a proxy, its revocation and evidence thereof in dealings with the Company must be in text form. Shareholders may also use the registration form for the General Meeting to issue proxies and instructions. This form is sent to the shareholders duly entered in the share register, along with the invitation to the General Meeting.

The form will also be available for download on the Company's website at

https://smart-home.haier.com/en/sm/

Shareholders are asked to use this form as far as possible to grant proxies and to issue instructions.

Any authorisations, evidence of proxies and the issuance of instructions to the proxies named by the Company may be posted or e-mailed prior to the General Meeting to the above address under II. by 19 December 2024, 17:00 (CET) (arriving). Any posted or e-mailed authorisations, evidence of proxies and instructions to the proxies named by the Company received after this time cannot be considered. Evidence of authorisations can still be submitted on the day of the General Meeting at the entrance and exit check point.

2. Voting by absentee vote

Shareholders may also exercise their voting rights at the General Meeting by absentee vote. In the case of absentee voting, too, timely registration of the holding of shares concerned is always necessary under the provisions of II. above.

Absentee votes may be sent to the Company by 19 December 2024, 17:00 (CET) (arriving) to the address mentioned above under II. Shareholders may use the registration form for the General Meeting for absentee voting as well. This form is sent to the shareholders duly entered in the share register, along with the invitation to the General Meeting. The form will also be available for download on the Company's website at

https://smart-home.haier.com/en/sm/

Shareholders are asked to use this form for absentee voting wherever possible. Absentee voting does not preclude attendance at the General Meeting. The personal attendance of a shareholder or an authorised third party at the General Meeting shall be deemed to be a revocation of a previously given absentee vote.

Shareholders that individually or jointly hold more than 1% of the Company’s total shares may put forward proposals to the Company and submit them in writing to the convener 10 days prior to the convening of the shareholders’ general meeting. Further details are in Article 84 of the Company’s Articles of Association.

Further documents will be uploaded on the Company website before the day of the General Meeting. After the General Meeting, the voting results will be made available on the Company's website.

At the time of convening the General Meeting, the total number of the issued shares of the Company amounts to 9,382,913,334 registered shares with a par value of RMB 1.00 each, comprising 6,254,501,095 A-Shares, 2,857,398,266 H-Shares, and 271,013,973 D-Shares. Each of the A-Shares, H- Shares, and D-Shares grants one vote at the General Meeting. Hence, the total number of voting rights at the time of convening the General Meeting amounts to 9,382,913,334.

Of the total A-shares, 59,919,870 A-shares have been repurchased by the Company from the open market and are to be used in the employee share incentive schemes, or otherwise might be cancelled. These A-shares will not participate in voting in the General Meeting. Subtracting these A-shares from the total number of issued shares and voting rights, the total number of voting rights at the time of convening the General Meeting amounts to 9,322,993,464.
