resolves to convene an Annual General Meeting to elect a new auditor

The Management Board of aap Implantate AG (the "Company") today resolved to convene a General Meeting to resolve on the proposal of the Supervisory Board on the appointment of a new auditor for the financial year 2024. The background to the Supervisory Board's proposal is that the auditor elected by the Annual General Meeting on August 15, 2024 for the financial year 2024 informed the Company today that he will not be available for the audit of the annual and consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year 2024 and therefore no mandate relationship for the audit of the annual and consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2024 will be established between the Company and the auditor elected by the Annual General Meeting.

The company assumes that the Audit Committee will nominate a new auditor at its meeting on Thursday, December 5, 2024, after completion of the ongoing simplified selection procedure in accordance with Art. 16 EU Regulation 537/2014, which the Supervisory Board will propose to the company's shareholders for election at the Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to take place on January 15, 2025.

This Annual General Meeting will also deal with other agenda items not discussed at the Annual General Meeting on August 15, 2024.
