3.  Disclosures pursuant to section 110 para. 2 sentence 2 in conjunction
with section 86 para. 7 and 9 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG)

The Company provides the following information on agenda item 5 „Election
of a person to the Supervisory Board“ and the possible submission of a
corresponding election proposal by shareholders in accordance with Section
110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG):

In accordance with Section 11 (1) of the Articles of Association, the
Supervisory Board of Marinomed Biotech AG consists of at least three and a
maximum of six members elected by the General Meeting. Since the last
election by the 6^th General Meeting in 2023, the Company’s Supervisory
Board has consisted of five members elected by the General Meeting, two of
whom left the Supervisory Board in the course of the 2024 financial year.
At the time this Extraordinary General Meeting was convened, the
Supervisory Board therefore had three members.

As the number of Supervisory Board members is therefore less than six, the
Company is not subject to the scope of application of Section 86 (7)
Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) (gender quota), according to which
the Supervisory Board of listed companies must consist of at least 30%
women and at least 30% men. This requirement is nevertheless fulfilled, as
the Supervisory Board of Marinomed Biotech AG consists of two women and
one man until the convening of the present Extraordinary General Meeting.
There are no employee representatives on the Supervisory Board.

The non-applicability of the aforementioned gender quota will continue to
apply in the event of the proposed election of Dr. Karl MAHLER, as the
Supervisory Board will consist of four members in this case. In this case,
the Supervisory Board would consist of two women and two men, which
corresponds to 50% women and 50% men.
4. Shareholders‘ right to information pursuant to Section 118 Austrian
Stock Corporation Act (AktG)

Upon request, each shareholder must be provided with information on the
Company’s affairs at the General Meeting, insofar as this is necessary for
the proper assessment of an item on the agenda. The duty to provide
information also extends to the company’s legal relationships with an
affiliated company and to the situation of the Group and the companies
included in the consolidated financial statements. The information may be
refused if, according to reasonable business judgment, it is likely to
cause significant disadvantage to the company or an affiliated company, or
if providing it would be punishable by law.

5. Motions by shareholders at the General Meeting in accordance with
Section 119 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG)

Every shareholder – irrespective of a specific shareholding – is entitled
to submit motions at the General Meeting on any item on the agenda
(exception: proposed resolutions for election to the Supervisory Board).
The prerequisite for this is proof of eligibility to participate as
defined in this invitation.

6.  Information on the website

Further information on shareholders‘ rights in accordance with Sections
109, 110, 118 and 119 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and
information on data protection can be found on the Company’s website
[6] www.marinomed.com under the menu items „Investors & ESG“ and „Annual
General Meeting“.

VI. FURTHER INFORMATION AND NOTES1. Total number of shares and voting
rights

At the time the General Meeting is convened, the Company’s share capital
amounts to EUR 1,694,583 and is divided into 1,694,583 no-par value bearer
shares. Each share grants one vote. The total number of voting rights at
the time the General Meeting is convened is therefore 1,694,583 voting
rights. The Company does not hold any treasury shares, either directly or
indirectly, at the time the General Meeting is convened.

2. Proof of identity and admission
