Executive Summary
Evotec announced the nomination of Dr. Wolfgang Hofmann as an independent Supervisory Board member and entered into a cooperation agreement with activist shareholder MAK Capital, which agreed to customary voting and cooperation commitments. The AGM on June 11, 2026 will vote on board appointments and a proposed board expansion from six to seven members. This de-escalates activist pressure and supports governance stability during the ongoing 'Horizon' transformation.
