Description of the working methods of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board and the working methods of the Supervisory Board committees

NORMA Group SE follows the dual management system. The Management and Supervisory Boards are separate bodies that have different functions and powers. The Management Board manages the company under its own responsibility. The Supervisory Board appoints, advises, monitors and dismisses members of the Management Board.

The Management Board regularly informs the Supervisory Board about its business policy as well as the business development, the situation of the company and transactions that could have a significant impact on the profitability or liquidity of NORMA Group. The Management Board reports the development of the Group’s key performance indicators to the Supervisory Board on a monthly basis, particularly with regard to the published forecast for corporate development. All members of the Management Board generally attend the Supervisory Board meetings. At the Supervisory Board meetings, the members of the Management Board give a detailed account of the course of business to date and provide an outlook on the expected further development of NORMA Group on the basis of documents previously made available to the members of the Supervisory Board in text form. In addition to the monthly and quarterly figures, other regularly recurring topics at the scheduled meetings include risk analysis and measures to minimize identified risks as well as reports on the current status of strategic projects.

The respective chairs of the Supervisory Board committees report at the scheduled meetings on the work of their committees and the previous committee meetings.

At the end of the ordinary Supervisory Board meetings, the Supervisory Board regularly meets without the Management Board in closed sessions for internal follow-up of the meetings.

Details on the topics dealt with by the Supervisory Board in the 2025 fiscal year can be found in the REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD.

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the CEO coordinate the cooperation between the Supervisory Board and the Management Board. They also maintain regular contact between Supervisory Board meetings, typically every two weeks, and discuss current corporate governance issues. Similarly, the Chairwoman of the Audit Committee and the Management Board member responsible for Finance also meet regularly between Supervisory Board meetings.

In accordance with legal requirements, the Articles of Association of NORMA Group SE and the rules of procedure of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board must approve certain significant transactions before they can be implemented by the Management Board and the Group’s employees. This applies not only to relevant measures in NORMA Group SE itself, but also to such measures in NORMA Group SE Group companies. In order to ensure that the Management Board is informed in good time about relevant matters of the subsidiaries so that it can request approval from the Supervisory Board, NORMA Group applies a graduated system of approval requirements worldwide.

The Supervisory Board is also also competent to approve any secondary activities of a member of the Management Board. Details of secondary activities can be found on the company’s website: WWW.NORMAGROUP.COM

The Supervisory Board is also competent to approve in advance all transactions between NORMA Group companies on the one hand and a member of the Management Board or related parties or companies on the other. No such transactions were concluded in 2025.

Resolutions of the Management Board are generally passed by a simple majority. In the event of a tie, the CEO casts the deciding vote. In addition to this right to a casting vote, the Supervisory Board has decided to propose to the company’s Annual General Meeting in 2026 an amendment to the Articles of Association to introduce a right of veto for the CEO in Management Board decisions. However, the members of the Management Board are required to make an effort to reach unanimous decisions. If a member of the Management Board is unable to participate in a vote, their vote will be collected retrospectively. The entire Management Board is responsible for matters of great importance. According to the rules of procedure of the Management Board, these are the following areas: the preparation of the reports of the Management Board for the information of the Supervisory Board and the quarterly and half-yearly reports and notifications, fundamental organizational measures including the acquisition or sale of significant parts of the company and matters of strategic and business planning, measures in

connection with the implementation and control of a monitoring system as defined in Section 91 (2) AktG, the submission of the Statement of Compliance in accordance with Section 161 (1) AktG, the preparation of the annual and consolidated financial statements and comparable reports, the convening of the Annual General Meeting and proposals by the Management Board for resolutions of the Annual General Meeting on agenda items on which the Annual General Meeting is to decide. In addition, any member of the Management Board may request that the full Management Board deal with a matter.

Board meetings are usually held twice a month. In addition, the Management Board meets at short notice if required. The Management Board has not formed any committees.

Every Management Board member is obliged to immediately inform the Supervisory Board as well as the other members of the Management Board of any conflicts of interest. There were no conflicts of interest involving a member of the Management Board in 2025.

The age limit for members of the Management Board has been set in the Supervisory Board’s rules of procedure at 65. No member of the Management Board currently reaches this age limit; this is also not foreseeable during the term of the current appointments.
