Compliance with legal provisions and internal company regulations is elementary for KraussMaffei. Any violations of these must be detected as early as possible to initiate appropriate counter and remedial measures and thus protect our business partners, our employees, other affected third parties, the environment and KraussMaffei itself from possible damage.

If you are aware of any indications of violations of legal provisions and internal company regulations of KraussMaffei, we encourage you to report them to us (see "Reporting Channels"). KraussMaffei does not tolerate any retaliatory measures or any other form of discrimination due to the submission of information to persons who, to the best of their knowledge and belief, have reported any indications of such violations. This also applies if the allegations ultimately turn out to be unfounded. However, the submission of information must always be truthful.

If you believe that you are facing retaliatory measures or other discrimination as a result of your report, please notify us via the any of the reporting channels below (see "Reporting Channels").

KraussMaffei has established several reporting channels to receive information about violations of legal provisions or internal company regulations (see "Reporting Channels"). KraussMaffei employees worldwide, as well as business partners, employees of direct and indirect suppliers, and other third parties, can use these reporting channels to submit such information. In particular, reports regarding bribery, corruption, fraud, theft, embezzlement, conflicts of interest, money laundering, terrorist financing, harassment, discrimination, as well as violations of the KraussMaffei Compliance and Ethics Code of Conduct, the Supplier Code of Conduct or other legal provisions and internal company regulations of KraussMaffei can be submitted through these channels.

Indications of human rights and environmental risks as well as violations of human rights-related or environmental obligations under the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) that have arisen as a result of the economic activities of KraussMaffei and its group companies in their own business operations or in their supply chain, as well as indications of violations of legally prescribed working conditions at KraussMaffei may also be submitted via these reporting channels (see "Reporting Channels").

As a central point of contact for receiving indications of violations of legal provisions and internal company regulations, KraussMaffei has appointed an external lawyer to serve as its External Compliance Officer. You can contact this neutral body in confidence and - if desired - anonymously if you would like to report any such indications. In case of an anonymous report, we ask you to provide as many details as possible and – if available – also documents on the reported incident in order to be able to investigate it appropriately.

The External Compliance Officer is available to you verbally and in writing in German and English, and also in Spanish, Russian, Italian and French by arrangement within the firm. For other languages, we ask you to submit your reports in writing.

KraussMaffei employees have access to additional reporting channels, which are published on the KraussMaffei intranet.

The External Compliance Officer or the Group Compliance Officer receives the report and confirms receipt of the report to the whistleblower within seven days at the latest. Reports may also be submitted anonymously if the whistleblowers have reason to fear that disclosure of their identity could result in serious disadvantages for them.

The External Compliance Officer or the Group Compliance Officer reviews the validity of the report received, in particular whether there are sufficient indications of a violation of laws, the Compliance and Ethics Code of Conduct, the Supplier Code of Conduct or other internal company regulations of KraussMaffei. They shall maintain contact with the whistleblower as far as possible and, if necessary, ask the whistleblower for further information. At the request of the whistleblower, a personal meeting is also possible. If there are sufficient indications of such a violation, the External Compliance Officer will forward the facts of the case in an admissible form (agreed with the whistleblower) to KraussMaffei's Group Compliance Officer for further investigation.

If there are sufficient indications of such a violation, KraussMaffei will conduct a detailed investigation of the facts of the case. The entire investigation is conducted in compliance with applicable laws, data protection regulations and taking into account the interests of all parties involved; it is carried out quickly, impartially and objectively, in compliance with the presumption of innocence. If the report concerns specific persons, they will be informed of the report (if necessary, in anonymized form) and given the opportunity to comment. As part of the investigation, it is also examined in particular which measures are suitable, necessary and appropriate in each individual case to address any violations that have been identified and to counteract risks of such violations in the future. The investigation of the facts of the case is conducted centrally at KraussMaffei (if necessary with the assistance of external specialists); however, the primary responsibility for responding to identified violations remains with the respective KraussMaffei group companies. It may therefore be necessary to share information (in anonymized form, as the case may be) in connection with the report with the responsible persons of these group companies.

Insofar as internal inquiries or investigations are not affected and the rights of the persons who are the subject of a report or who are named in the report are not impaired, feedback will be given to the whistleblower within the statutory period, typically within three months.
