This corresponds to a dividend of 0.20 Euro per ordinary share (Securities Code Number [WKN] 549562) for the 4,500,000 current dividend-bearing shares. The remaining sum of 3,592,776.60 Euro will be carried forward. No tax credit is associated with the dividend, since the distributed dividends are to be taken from fiscal equity capital in accordance with § 30 para. 2 point 4 of the Corporation Tax Law (KStG). In accordance with § 20 para. 1 point 1 clause 3 of the Income Tax Law (EStG), the payment of dividends to the shareholders constitutes non-taxable income (i.e. income that is not liable to taxation). All other items on the agenda were also approved by a large majority. In his report to the Shareholders’ Meeting, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr Gert Frank, referred to the positive development of business in the past financial year. For the current year, 2003, the Board foresees continued positive development and a two-figure increase in sales at the same level of profitability.
