Notes and explanations

With this form, you can exercise your voting rights as an ordinary shareholder or as his or her proxy holder by issuing proxy and instructions to the proxy holders nominated by the Company or by postal vote. Please complete this form and submit it to the Company in writing, by fax or by e-mail no later than by Thursday, 10 February, 2022, 6:00 p.m. CET, using the following contact details:

METRO AG

c/o Computershare Operations Center 80249 Munich

Germany

or by fax: +49 (0) 89 30903-74675

or by email: anmeldestelle@computershare.de

The date of receipt by the Company is decisive in each case.

Using the above communication channels, a granted proxy (with instructions) or postal votes may also be amended or revoked until Thursday, 10 February 2022, 18.00 CET (receipt deci- sive).

The exercise of voting rights by issuing proxy and instructions to the proxy holders nominated by the Company or by postal vote can also be done electronically in the Company's InvestorPor- tal, accessible via the Company's website at www.metroag.de/hauptversammlung. The exercise of voting rights by issuing of proxy and instructions to the proxy holders nominated by the Company or by way of postal vote via the InvestorPortal is also possible during the Annual General Meeting, but must be fully completed at the latest by the time specified by the chairman of the meeting in the course of the voting. The same applies mutatis mutandis to the revocation or amendment of the granted proxy (with instructions) or postal votes. The initial registration in the InvestorPortal takes place using the individual access data (registration number, number of shares, postal code and place of residence), which the duly registered shareholders or their proxy holders receive with the registration confirmation.

The proxy holders nominated by the Company are physically present at the Annual General Meeting. In accordance with the statutory rule, proxy voting is carried out as a concealed proxy, i.e. without disclosing the name of the shareholder represented in the list of attendees. The proxy holders will exercise the voting right exclusively on the basis of instructions that have been expressly and unambiguously granted. Therefore, the shareholders have to issue express and unambiguous instructions in respect of the items of the Agenda with regard to which they wish the voting right to be exercised. The proxy holders nominated by the Company are obliged to vote in accordance with the instructions given to them. To the extent that no express and unambiguous instruction was given in respect of an item of the Agenda, the proxy holders nominated by the Company will refrain from voting with regard to the respective voting item. They do not accept any instructions to submit a request to address the Annual General Meeting, to lodge objections to resolutions of the Annual General Meeting or to ask questions or table mo- tions. They are available solely for the casting of votes on such resolution proposals from the Management Board, the Supervisory Board or from shareholders which have been published together with this calling or subsequently pursuant to § 124(1) or (3) German Stock Corporation Act or made accessible pursuant to §§ 126, 127 German Stock Corporation Act.

If the Company receives differing, formally correct declarations for the exercise of voting rights for one and the same shareholding, the order of receipt by the Company is decisive. If in this case the order of receipt by the Company cannot be determined, the votes cast by postal vote will always be deemed to take precedence - provided that, in addition to votes by postal vote, proxies and instructions to the Company's proxy holders are also received; in this respect, the

Company's proxy holders will not make use of proxy granted to them and will not represent the shares concerned. If, in this case, the manner in which voting rights are exercised is also the same (e.g. multiple exercise of voting rights by postal vote), any declarations received via the InvestorPortal will be considered with priority. If there are no such declarations, any declarations received by e-mail will be considered before those received by fax, and these in turn before those received by the Company by post.
