\n Munich. As of today, all non-voting preferred shares
\n of BMW AG will be converted into voting ordinary shares at a ratio of
\n 1:1. The amendment to the Articles of Association, approved by a large
\n majority at the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2026, to convert
\n nearly 55 million preferred shares into voting ordinary shares, has
\n become effective upon its entry in the commercial register today.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The custodial and stock exchange conversion of the former preferred
\n shares will take place automatically, without any action required by
\n shareholders, between July 1 and July 3, 2026. Trading and listing of
\n preferred shares (ISIN DE0005190037 \/ WKN 519003) will cease at the
\n end of June 30, 2026. Holders of the former 54,675,505 preferred
\n shares will thus automatically become holders of ordinary shares (ISIN
\n DE000519003 \/ WKN 519000), which are entitled to dividends as of
\n January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The share capital of BMW AG, amounting to approximately \u20ac616 million,
\n will then consist exclusively of ordinary shares, compared to the
\n previous structure of 91% ordinary shares and 9% preferred shares. The
\n unification into a single class of voting shares reflects the
\n internationally recognized corporate governance principle of \u201cone
\n share, one vote\u201d. In addition, the conversion increases the free float
\n of BMW AG ordinary shares by approximately 19%.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This month marks the 100th anniversary of BMW on the stock exchange:
\n in June 1926, Bayerische Motorenwerke Aktiengesellschaft was first
\n listed on the Munich and Berlin stock exchanges. The shares had a
\n nominal value of 1,000 Reichsmarks.<\/p>\n
