Mobile Admission Tickets

Before the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting:
My email address has changed. / I can’t find the email with the admission ticket on my mobile phone. / I lost my mobile phone. What can I do?

You can reorder your admission ticket via the online service. To do this, log in to the online service here: www.basf.com/asm-service resp. https://basf.hv.adeus.de/starxm/basf/login?lang=en

Alternatively, you can come to a special ticket booth, the so called “Sonderschalter”, on the day of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and we will issue you a replacement ticket.

On the day of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting:
I can’t find the email with the admission ticket on my mobile phone. / I can’t find/lost my mobile phone. / My phone’s battery has died. What can I do?

If you registered by the registration deadline (e.g., by ordering an admission ticket through the online service), we can issue you a replacement ticket at a special ticket booth, the so called “Sonderschalter”, on the day of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

I had the admission ticket sent to me by email, but my mobile phone cannot display emails. What can I do?

Log in once again to the online service at www.basf.com/asm-service resp. https://basf.hv.adeus.de/starxm/basf/login?lang=en, where you will be able to change the delivery method for your admission ticket. You can have the admission ticket sent again by postal mail or you can print it out yourself.

I had the admission ticket sent to me by email, but I am unable to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in person. Can I forward the email to a representative?

It is also possible to exercise your voting rights on the day of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting via the online service.

If you are unable to exercise your voting rights, you have the following options for granting a proxy to a third party:

a) Print out and fill in the proxy authorization form and give this to a representative of your choice, or

b) Complete the proxy authorization form attached to the admission ticket email and forward it to a representative of your choice.
This proxy must clearly identify the purpose (representation of voting rights), the shareholder/appointer of the proxy and the authorized representative (e.g., by giving the name and place of residence of the shareholder).

I had two admission tickets sent to me via email. Why can I only have these sent to one email address? How can the person accompanying me and I store the tickets on our two mobile phones (e.g., when we are not arriving at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at the same time)?

You can forward the email with the admission tickets to another email address at any time. The admission tickets are labeled “Admission ticket 1 of 2” and “Admission ticket 2 of 2” so that you can tell them apart.

If an admission ticket is to be used by a person whose name does not appear on the ticket, this person requires an authorization in addition to the admission ticket.

I had already ordered the ticket to be sent by postal mail/printed it out the ticket myself, but then decided I wanted to use the mobile admission ticket. Now my mobile phone is not working. Can I still use the (older) admission ticket that I printed out/that was sent by mail to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting?

The admission ticket you printed out/that was sent to you by mail is still valid. You can use it to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Is there a mobile guest ticket?

We currently do not offer a mobile guest ticket.
