Section 15 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) obliges all domestic issuers of financial
instruments to publish and disclose insider information that has a direct bearing on them without
delay. The obligation to immediately publish information of relevance to the trading price is
intended to prevent insiders from using advance knowledge to trade shares to their advantage.
The Company’s ad hoc announcements are published on the Internet at www.audi.com/investor-
relations in the “News and Ad hoc” section, under the menu item “Ad hoc announcements.” The
“News and Ad hoc” section also contains further news and information about the Audi Group,
such as reporting of voting rights according to Sections 21 ff. of WpHG and other legal issues.
The notices and information published there are also available in English.
Communications relating to share dealings by management members pursuant to Section 15a
of WpHG can also be accessed at www.audi.com/investor-relations in the “Corporate Gover-
nance” section under the menu item “Directors’ Dealings.”
