Fresenius Transitions to Registered Shares

Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has announced the transition from ordinary bearer shares to registered shares, effective August 13, 2026. This decision, approved at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, aims to foster more direct and efficient communication with shareholders. The conversion process will be managed automatically by custodian banks, requiring no action from shareholders.

Registered shares will allow Fresenius to maintain a share register, enhancing transparency and administration processes. Shareholder rights, such as dividend and voting rights, will remain unchanged. The shares will continue to be listed on major German stock exchanges under the symbol FRE, with new identifiers: ISIN DE000FRE5EN2 and WKN FRE5EN.

The transition ensures continuity in the shareholders' experience, as dividends and custody services remain unaffected. Shareholders can access further details on the Fresenius website.
