Voltabox Annual General Meeting Resolves Name Change to Voltatron AG – Further Foundations Laid for Growth Strategy Implementation

Paderborn/Nuremberg, Germany, July 10, 2025 – At the 2025 Annual General Meeting the shareholders of Voltabox AG (DE000A2E4LE9) approved all agenda items proposed for resolution with a large majority. The resolutions support the consistent, ongoing realignment of the company and establish a solid basis for a focused, dynamic development of the organization and its business. Key resolutions included the creation of new Authorized Capital 2025 and Conditional Capital 2025 I as instruments to support the M&A growth agenda, the company’s renaming, the relocation of its registered office, and the expansion of its corporate purpose as defined in the Articles of Association. A total of 14,446,471 shares were represented at the meeting, corresponding to 68.59% of the company’s share capital.

In accordance with the AGM resolution, the company’s registered office will be relocated to Fürth, Bavaria (Germany). This strategic move aims to enhance operational efficiency by leveraging the expertise of a dedicated team that covers key corporate functions. In line with this, the management decided to hold the 2025 Annual General Meeting at the Moevenpick Hotel at Nuremberg Airport – in close proximity to the future headquarters.

The company’s name will also change: Voltabox AG will become Voltatron AG. The name change will take effect upon registration of the corresponding amendment to the Articles of Association in the commercial register. The new name is a coined term referencing Alessandro Volta, a pioneer of electricity and battery technology, and the electron as a core element of electronics. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to battery and energy storage solutions while also underscoring its expanded expertise in the development and production of electronic products and solutions.

The Voltatron brand stands for innovation, customer focus, integrity, visionary entrepreneurial courage, equal partnership, and long-term success.

The name change reflects the company's transformation into a specialized provider of electronic components, devices, and system solutions. Its comprehensive production and technology expertise forms the basis for sophisticated industrial applications, especially high-performance battery and energy storage solutions.

At the AGM, CEO Martin Hartmann emphasized the company’s strategic direction and targeted market positioning: “The measures implemented over recent months have clearly stabilized the company. Based on our strategy, we are on the right track to continue developing the organization in a swift, targeted way. Our ambition is to build a comprehensive range of competencies that enables us to provide a unique portfolio of reliable, application-specific electronic solutions. In addition to other growth industries, our focus remains firmly on the battery and energy storage sector. By offering these key tools, we empower our customers to succeed in their respective markets over the long term.”

To support the planned growth, the AGM also passed pivotal resolutions on financing instruments. By authorizing the issuance of convertible bonds and creating a Conditional Capital 2025 I, the company now has a flexible instrument in place to issue and service convertible securities swiftly and effectively. This new conditional capital replaces the previous Conditional Capital 2017 in full and, with a volume of up to € 10,531,536.00, remains within the statutory limit of 50% of share capital.

In parallel, the partially utilized Authorized Capital 2023 was cancelled and replaced by new Authorized Capital 2025. Subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, this authorization allows the Management Board to increase the share capital by up to € 10,531,536.00 through the issuance of new shares against cash and/or non-cash contributions. The measure strengthens the company’s financial flexibility in implementing its strategic objectives, particularly with regard to its M&A growth agenda.

CFO Florian Seitz commented: “Today’s resolutions provide us with the necessary flexibility to respond to growth opportunities in a targeted manner. Potential capital measures serve one purpose only: to enable profitable growth and to sustainably strengthen our strategic positioning. Current market conditions are broadly favorable. We will assess further expansion steps with due care and based on clearly defined financial criteria.”

The AGM also approved a profit and loss transfer agreement between Voltabox AG and EKM Elektronik GmbH. This step supports the tax and economic integration of the subsidiary and is a key component in utilizing existing tax loss carryforwards.

In addition, the shareholders approved a slightly adjusted remuneration system for the Management Board and confirmed the current remuneration scheme for the Supervisory Board.
