With its headquarter in Vaduz, Elips Life Ltd. is authorised in Liechtenstein and adheres to the Persons and Companies Act (hereinafter: "PGR") of Liechtenstein.

Applicable Law
In Liechtenstein, the second Shareholder Rights Directive of the European Union (ARUG II, Directive (EU) 2017/828) has been transposed into domestic law via the PGR. Elips Life Ltd. (hereinafter: "Elips Life") is a company which conducts life insurance business in Liechtenstein and thus qualifies as an institutional investor pursuant to Art. 367a PGR. Pursuant to Art. 367h PGR, Elips Life is obliged to either publish its participation policy regarding participations in listed companies on its website or to publicly explain why it has decided not to do so (comply or explain). In the case of participation in listed companies, a distinction must be made between a) the management of shares in the company's own portfolio and b) those shares which Elips Life holds for the account and risk of the policyholder(s) within the scope of unit-linked and unit-linked life insurance or pension insurance solutions.

Information according to art. 367h PGR – participation policy
Elips Life does not directly invest in securities and does not provide or engage in regulated investment activities. Elips Life also did not hold any equity investments as at 31 December 2022.

Elips Life does not hold any shares in its own portfolio, either directly or indirectly, and does not plan to invest in this asset class in the near future.

For the aforementioned reasons, a participation policy within the meaning of Art. 367h para 1 PGR is not adopted and not exercised by Elips Life. Information in this regard in the sense of Art. 367h para 2 PGR is therefore omitted.

Information pursuant to Art. 367i PGR Investment strategy and agreements with asset managers
