Communication and Transparency

The Volkswagen Group publishes a financial calendar listing all the relevant dates for its shareholders in its annual report and interim reports and on its website at www.volkswagenag.com/ir. The invitations to and the agendas for the shareholders’ meetings and any countermotions received are also available on this website. At the shareholders’ meetings, shareholders may exercise their voting rights themselves, have this right exercised on their behalf by a third-party proxy whom they have appointed, or use a proxy designated by the Company who will vote on their behalf in accordance with their voting instructions. In addition, we offer our shareholders the opportunity to watch the Annual General Meetings in full on the Internet.

News and information on the Volkswagen Group are available on our website at www.volkswagenag.com/ir. The releases and other information are published in both English and German.

Immediately after their publication in line with legal requirements, the Company’s ad hoc releases are also published on our website at www.volkswagenag.com/ir.

We publish directors’ dealings (section 15a of the WpHG) at www.volkswagenag.com/ir.
