In connection with the re-division of the capital stock (share split in the
ratio of 1:3), inter alia the provisons of Article 35 (2) of the Articles
of Association regarding the distribution of the unappropriated profit and
the preferred dividend respectively have been amended as follows with
effect as of May 21, 2007:
'The unappropriated profit is distributed to the shareholders unless the
General Meeting resolves otherwise. The distribution shall be as follows:
The holders of preferred shares receive a preferred dividend in the amount
of 0.04 euros per preferred share. In the event that the unappropriated
profit is not sufficient in any financial year to pay a preferred dividend
of 0.04 euros per preferred share, the arrears shall be paid subsequently
without interest out of the unappropriated profit of the following
financial years in such a way that the prior arrears shall be paid off
ahead of any newer arrears, and that the preferred dividend amounts for a
financial year shall only be paid out of the profit for that financial year
once all such arrears have been paid off. Out of the remaining
unappropriated profit, first the holders of ordinary shares shall receive a
dividend of up to 0.02 euros per ordinary share; the residual amount shall
then be distributed to all shareholders in line with the proportion of the
capital stock attributable to them.'
