November 6th, 2025

GLADE MICHEL WIRTZ has advised Mercedes-Benz Group AG in connection with a further share buyback program. The program was started at the beginning of November 2025 and is scheduled to be completed within a period of up to twelve months. Own shares worth up to EUR 2 billion (not including incidental costs) may be repurchased on the stock exchange and multilateral trading facilities. The shares are to be cancelled.

The share buyback program is based on the share buyback policy of Mercedes-Benz Group AG announced in 2024, according to which the future Free Cash Flow from the industrial business (as available post potential small-scale M&A) generated beyond the approx. 40 percent dividend payout ratio of Group Net Income shall be used to fund share buybacks with the purpose of cancelling the shares. GLADE MICHEL WIRTZ had also advised Mercedes-Benz Group AG on stock corporation and capital market law in this matter.
