1. Information on the Company’s Activities / 1.1 Presentation of the Company

Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH – EFW EFW combines various aviation and technology activities under a single roof: development and manufacturing of flat fibre- reinforced composite components for structures and interiors, the conversion of passenger aircraft into freighter configuration, maintenance and repair of Airbus commercial aircraft as well as engineering services in the context of certification and approval. On 17 June 2015, Airbus signed an agreement with Singapore- based ST Aerospace Ltd. (STA) to offer passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion solutions for its A320 and A321 aircraft. STA acquired an additional 20% of the shares of EFW, Dresden (Germany) by way of a contribution in kind and a capital increase to EFW. The transaction closed on 4 January 2016. Consequently, 45% of the shares of EFW were retained and Airbus effectively lost its control over EFW (previously reported in Airbus). EFW has been the excellence center for Airbus conversions for more than 25 years and re-delivered 200 converted aircraft of the first Airbus conversion programme (A300/A310) to over 40 customers worldwide, thereof the largest Express carriers in North America and Europe but also renowned General Freight and Combination Carriers. Based on the latest freighter conversion programmes, the A330P2F, A321P2F and A320P2F, EFW is driving the development of the Airbus freighter family. By the end of 2021, in total 14 A330P2F have been re-delivered, after a modest start of this programme, the customer demand for conversions of this wide body aircraft increased remarkably during 2020 and over the past year, and has been superseding by end of 2021 the conversion requests concerning the latest single aisle programme of A321P2F which was entering the market back in 2020. After achieving the STC for the A321P2F in February 2020, the FAA certification in July 2020, the world’s first A321P2F aircraft has been delivered in September 2020 to launch customer Vallair entering into service in October of that year and is since than operated by Qantas for Australia Post. In 2021, four further A321P2F have been re-delivered. By the end of 2021 EFW had secured well above 60 A321P2F and above 90 A330P2F orders. EFW is increasing the conversion capacity such that it is possible to induct over 60 aircraft (approximately 30 A330s and A321s) for conversions per year for the Airbus P2F programmes by 2024 meaning to treble capacity compared to 2021.

Relying on its aerostructure, pipes and ducts, cabin interior and pilot seat divisions: – – Airbus Atlantic has a wide range of metallic and composite aerostructure capabilities, fromBuild-to-Print to Design & Build solutions, including fully equipped and tested aircraft sections; – – Airbus Atlantic designs, develops and manufactures bended and welded pipes and ducts covering all ATA systems; – – Airbus Atlantic designs and manufactures luxury First Class and Business Seats for key partners in the world including Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, China Airlines, Air France or Etihad Airways; – – Airbus Atlantic provides cockpits and pilot seats, and offers support from design to production, including after-sales service; – – Airbus Atlantic’s mission is to drive competitiveness with the flexibility, speed, simplicity and agility of an aerostructure Tier-1. Premium AEROTEC Premium AEROTEC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is one of the world’s leading tier-1 suppliers of commercial and military aircraft structures and is a partner in the major European international aerospace programmes. Its core business is the development and production of large aircraft components from aluminium, titanium and carbon fiber composites (CFRP). Premium AEROTEC is Europe’s no. 1 in this segment with roughly 7,000 employees at various sites in Germany and Romania. Premium AEROTEC is represented by its products in all Airbus commercial aircraft programmes. The current military programmes include the Eurofighter “Typhoon” and the military transport aircraft A400M. In order to contribute successfully to the shaping of the future of aviation, the engineers and developers at Premium AEROTEC are continuously working on the new and further development of lightweight and highly durable aircraft structures. They cooperate closely with universities and research institutes in the process. Premium AEROTEC plays a significant role in the design of new concepts in such fields as carbon composite technologies (including thermoplastic processes) or 3D-printing of aircraft components made of titanium or aluminium. Airbus launched in 2021 a project to place fuselage aerostructure assembly activities at the heart of Airbus’ production system. In Germany, end of January 2022, Airbus and social partners have agreed to establish a company for state-of-the-art aerostructures assembly. The aerostructure assembly of aircraft fuselages, currently spread across the company and subsidiaries (of which Premium AEROTEC), are planned to be merged and fully integrated into the group as a core activity on 1 July 2022.
