(“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) is pleased to announce that during its Annual General Meeting held on May 8, 2025, shareholders approved all agenda items presented.

At this Annual General Meeting, the term of AMG’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Eric Jackson, has ended and he has indicated his plan to retire. Mr. Jackson has served on AMG’s Management Board since its formation in 2006. Following his retirement, Mr. Jackson will act as a senior advisor to the Company.

Mr. Willem van Hassel and Mr. Warmolt Prins were reappointed as members of the Supervisory Board for terms of two and four years, respectively, with effect from May 8, 2025. And due to the vacancies created by the retirements of Professor Hanke and Mr. Depp, the Supervisory Board welcomes its newest member, Mr. Robert Jeffries, who was appointed during today’s Annual General Meeting as an independent member for a term of four years, beginning May 8, 2025.
Given the retirement of Professor Hanke from his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board after this Annual General Meeting, AMG is pleased to confirm, as announced earlier, that the Supervisory Board has unanimously resolved during its meeting on February 26, 2025, to appoint Ms. Dagmar Bottenbruch, a member of the Supervisory Board since 2019, as Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board with effect from May 8, 2025.
