Information Contained in this Report on Form 6-K

 

On May 20, 2026, Sportradar Group AG (the “Company”) held its annual general meeting. Article 704 of the Swiss Code of Obligations and article 14 of the Company's articles of association stipulate important resolutions, for which a qualified majority of least two-thirds of the voting rights represented and an absolute majority of the nominal value of shares represented are required. This qualified quorum applies to the agenda item 9. The otherwise relevant simple majority in accordance with article 13 of the Company's articles of association was calculated based on the votes cast, not taking into account abstentions, empty votes and invalid votes. The number of abstentions is therefore provided below only for the sake of completeness for the agenda items that are not subject to the qualified majority. For agenda item 7.1, the simple majority was, in accordance with mandatory Swiss law, calculated based on the nominal value of the voted shares. For all other agenda items, the simple majority was calculated based on the number of shares voted (“one share, one vote” principle). The final results of each of the agenda items submitted to a vote of the shareholders are below.
