The DPLTA between the Company, as the controlling company, and ADVA Optical Networking SE, as the controlled company as executed on December 1, 2022, became effective on January 16, 2023, as a result of its registration with the commercial register (Handelsregister) of the local court (Amtsgericht) at the registered seat of ADVA (Jena).
