SMA responds to inaccurate and misleading report by NINGI Research

Niestetal, December 18, 2023 – With this statement published today, SMA
Solar Technology AG (SMA/ISIN: DE000A0DJ6J9/FWB: S92) comments on a report
issued by NINGI Research (“Ningi”).

The report contains a number of inaccurate allegations about SMA’s reporting
practices. Ningi’s assertions completely lack merit and are misleading to
the public and in particular investors and analysts. As a short seller,
Ningi stands to profit from a decline in SMA’s stock price.

SMA reports its financial figures in accordance with international reporting
standards (IFRS) and adheres to the highest standards of corporate
governance.
