Waldenburg, 27 June 2024 - At R. STAHL's 31st Annual General Meeting held
today, all agenda items submitted to a vote were approved by a clear
majority. 151 shareholders were present in the Nobelgusch community and

the share capital (previous year: 64.10%). Including votes submitted by

The actions of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board were ratified by a

annual and consolidated financial statements as well as auditor of the
sustainability report, which R. STAHL has prepared annually since 2017.
Following the implementation of the CSRD Directive (Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive) into German law, it is expected that the sustainability
report will be subject to an external audit requirement beginning in
financial year 2024. Shareholders also approved the Executive Board
compensation report for the previous year and the compensation system for
the Executive Board, which has been expanded to include a sustainability
component.

Executive Board reflects on positive financial year 2023 and discusses
strategy

CEO Dr. Mathias Hallmann first presented the very positive overall business
figures for 2023. He then provided examples in his presentation to explain
in detail the sustainable and successful implementation of the EXcellence
2030 Group strategy. In addition to innovative digital products such as the
digital twin, the Chairman of the Executive Board also presented the
opportunities in the hydrogen and nuclear growth markets. Alongside
extensive investments at the German sites in Waldenburg and Weimar, the
company will continue to press ahead with its internationalization and
significantly increase capacity with the expansion of the Indian plant in
Chennai. "We are making excellent progress with the implementation of our
strategy. The successes we have already achieved are an incentive for the
entire R. STAHL team to continue along the path we have chosen and to take
advantage of the growth opportunities that present themselves", says Dr.
Hallmann.

Outlook for 2024 confirmed

The CEO remains optimistic for 2024 as a whole and has confirmed the
forecasts. R. STAHL expects Group sales to grow to between EUR 335 million and
EUR 350 million (2023: EUR 330.6 million). EBITDA pre exceptionals will be
between EUR 35 million and EUR 45 million (2023: EUR 38.6 million). In terms of
free cash flow, the company expects a mid single-digit positive million euro
