The composition of Evotec's Supervisory Board fulfils all objectives set for its composition and competencies

• All members are considered as independent
Diversity of thoughts
Profile of composition and competencies for the Supervisory Board
- Iris Löw-Friedrich (Management Board Member of UCB): The business relationship with UCB as a customer of EVT is considered immaterial
(~1% of 2020 group revenue)
-Kasim Kutay (CEO of Novo Holdings A/S): Novo Holdings A/S holds ~10% of Evotec's shares but does not have control as defined in C.9 of GCGC
- Mario Polywka (former COO of Evotec until Dec 2018): Cooling-Off Period as per C.7 of GCGC has expired by end of 2020
• All members have an extensive international professional background from working in numerous international operationally companies
• Two nationalities are represented (German: Löw-Friedrich, Sackers, Ulmer-Eilfort; UK: Kutay, Polywka, Sullivan)
• 50% are female members
●
• Evotec's aspiration of an "diversity of thoughts" is ensured by composing an international experienced Board with broad based skill sets rather than sticking
to ethnic, gender, age diversity
• No "over-boarding" issue: The Chairperson Iris Löw-Friedrich has also a seat in the Supervisory Board of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA. However, Iris Löw-
Friedrich always had devoted sufficient time to perform her function, including attendance to all board and committee meetings and availability to connect
with internal and external stakeholders, and has plausibly demonstrated that this will also be the case in the future.
