Deutsche Telekom AG (DTEGY) Shareholder/Analyst Call Transcript

Frank Appel

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you, and I hereby open this year’s Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Telekom AG and assume the chair in accordance with the company’s Articles of Association. On behalf of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, I would like to warmly welcome you, the shareholders and shareholder representatives as well as the members of the press and our other guests here in Bonn.

If in German, I use the masculine form of address here, and in the course of this meeting, this is done solely for the sake of linguistic simplicity, the masculine form of address, of course, includes all genders. We are very pleased to welcome you once again physically here at the World Conference Center, Bonn, this year. With the exception of Ms. Schottke, the Supervisory Board is attending this year’s Annual General Meeting in full. Ms. Schottke is unfortunately unable to attend for personal reasons.

The Management Board is present in full. On my left, I would like to welcome Dr.Markus [indiscernible] Notary Public, who is in charge of recording this Annual General Meeting. First, a few remarks regarding the venue. The main venue for today’s meeting is this New York hall, including the gallery accessible to you from outside. And I see it is filling up. Great. You may also follow the proceedings via audio and video in the Nairobi 1 room.
