Birkenfeld, November 28, 2018

STRATEC Biomedical AG has completed its conversion into a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE), known as STRATEC SE. The new legal form is now effective following its entry in the commercial register of the Mannheim municipal court.

"The new legal form highlights the international orientation and open corporate culture that the STRATEC Group already has and also creates ideal structures for future growth," said Chairman of the Board of Management Marcus Wolfinger.

STRATEC SE will continue to have a dual system with a Board of Management and a Supervisory Board. STRATEC SE's head office is still in Birkenfeld, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Following the submission of a resolution proposal to this effect by the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board, the Annual General Meeting had approved the transformation into an SE with a large majority on May 30, 2018. The rights of shareholders and employees are not affected by the change of legal form. The shareholders of STRATEC Biomedical AG have now automatically become shareholders of STRATEC SE. The securities identification numbers (WKN and ISIN) of STRATEC's shares and their ticker symbols remain unchanged.
