He will accept the position on the Supervisory Board subject to his election by the Annual General Meeting.

Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schmidt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of DIC Asset AG: "With the appointment of Patrick Weiden to the Management Board of DIC Asset AG, the Supervisory Board addresses the current size and dynamics of the company as well as the significance of the capital markets activities for the future further increase of the enterprise value of the company. With his expertise and experience in particular in these areas, Mr. Weiden is an excellent fit for the strategy of a consistent increase of the enterprise value that is being pursued by the company. Sonja Wärntges as Chair of the Management Board (CEO), Johannes von Mutius as Member of the Board Real Estate (CIO) and Patrick Weiden as Member of the Board Capital Markets form an effective Management Board that has the full support of the Supervisory Board. We thank Dr. Wiegers for his work and contribution to the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee. At the same time, we are pleased that in Michael Zahn we are able to propose to the Annual General Meeting a candidate for election to the Supervisory Board of DIC Asset AG who has outstanding experience in the areas of real estate and capital markets both as CEO of Deutsche Wohnen SE and as supervisory board member of listed real estate companies. This expertise is most valuable to the company in its present stage."
