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

Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH 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 centre 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 2023, a total of 33 A330P2F has been re-delivered, after a modest start of this programme. The customer demand for conversions of this Widebody aircraft increased remarkably during the last three years. By the end of 2023, it has been superseding the conversion requests for the latest Single-Aisle programme of A321P2F and A320P2F which entered 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 was delivered in September 2020, and in 2023, 22 further 321P2F were re-delivered. By the end of 2023 EFW had secured more than 150 P2F orders in total. 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.
