HelloFresh SE convenes 2025 Annual General Meeting and proposes candidates for the Supervisory Board

Berlin, 28 April 2025 – HelloFresh SE (“Company”) today announced the convening of its 2025 Annual General Meeting, which will take place virtually on 6 June 2025 at 10 a.m. (CEST). In addition to the regular agenda items (presentation of the financial statements, appropriation of the balance sheet profit, discharge of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, appointment of the auditor, approval of the remuneration report, authorization to repurchase treasury shares and to use them, and granting of a new authorization to hold the Annual General Meeting in virtual form), the Supervisory Board will propose a new remuneration system for the Company's Management Board to the Annual General Meeting for approval in order to align the remuneration structure even more closely with the Company's current strategy and the interests of its shareholders, as well as to adapt it to current market developments.

In addition, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose to the Annual General Meeting that the Supervisory Board be expanded from five to six members.
