shares acquired based on this authorisation, together with other own shares already held by the Company on this authorisation adoption date does not exceed 3% of the Company's share capital.

The Company may acquire own shares by way of transactions concluded on the regulated market at the market price as valid at the time.

In disposing own shares that the Company has acquired based on this authorisation, the shareholders' pre-emption right is fully excluded, as in the case that they can be exchanged for shares or shareholdings in other companies in the context of M&A strategy, if this was in the interest of the Company, the exchange option is tied to a potential disposal to individual persons only (holders of shares/shareholdings in other companies).

Pursuant to the third and fourth paragraphs of Article 381 of the ZGD-1, the Company may reduce its share capital through the withdrawal of all own shares under the simplified procedure and to the debit of other profit reserves based on the Supervisory Board's consent.
