                                  The Annual General Meeting of adidas AG was attended by approximately 450 shareholders and shareholder representatives as well as by around 180 guests. At the time the presence was announced, 48.01% of the nominal capital were represented at the Annual General Meeting.

                                  The shareholders amongst others resolved to pay out a dividend of 1.50 € per share. The dividend amounting to a total of 313,824,279.00 € was paid out on May 9, 2014.

                                  The Annual General Meeting agreed to each of the resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board with the required majority. No countermotions were received.

                                  In addition, the Annual General Meeting has elected Katja Kraus and Kathrin Menges to succeed Alexander Popov and Christian Tourres, who did not stand for re-election. Dr. Stefan Jentzsch, Herbert Kauffmann, Igor Landau and Willi Schwerdtle, whose terms in office also expired with the end of the Annual General Meeting, have been re-elected to the Supervisory Board.
