Such notification obligation applies to
shareholders only if there has been a change in the shareholder group since the publication of the previous notice. In the event of failure to provide notification or full notification regarding the composition of the shareholder group as required in the previous sentence, or where the acquisition of control is subject to regulatory approval or acknowledgment, which the shareholder had failed to obtain, or if there is reason to assume that the shareholder has deceived the Board of Directors concerning the composition of the shareholder group, the voting right of the shareholder will be suspended by the decision of the Board of Directors at any time even after its entry into the share register, and may not be exercised until the above requirement has been fully satisfied.

Based on an authorization from the General Meeting, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to decide on increasing the share capital and on any related issues otherwise falling within the competence of the General Meeting, including, in particular, the exclusion or restriction of exercising preferential rights regarding subscription and takeover of shares, the appointment of persons entitled to take over shares and the amendment of the Articles of Association with a view to share capital increase.
- 11.2. If the share capital is increased by means of cash contribution, the Company's shareholders, including, first, shareholders with shares of the same series as the issued shares, and then holders of convertible bonds as well as bonds with subscription rights, shall have preferential rights to take over shares in this order under the conditions set out in this Article 11, provided that such rights are not restricted or excluded by the General Meeting (or, based on an authorization from the General Meeting, the Board of Directors) on the basis of a written proposal by the Board of Directors.
- 11.3. In a notice published in compliance with Article 21 of these Articles of Association, the Board of Directors shall notify shareholders and bondholders of the face value and the issue value of the available shares, the start and end dates of the period for exercising preferential rights and how those rights can be exercised. Holders may exercise their preferential rights by submitting a statement in the form of a notarized deed or a private deed of full probative force to the Company's registered office or in the form of a document bearing an advanced electronic signature and timestamp to the email address specified in the notice within fifteen (15) days of the date following the date of publication of the notice. Such statements shall include the type, class, series, face value, quantity, and issue value of the shares intended to be subscribed or taken over as well as the irrevocable undertaking of the shareholder or the bondholder to subscribe or take over the shares specified in the statement and pay their issue value as set out in the General Meeting's resolution. The statement shall be valid on the condition that the shareholder or bondholder duly fulfills the payment obligation included therein within the set period. If a shareholder or bondholder fails to make a valid statement on exercising their preferential rights
within the period set in the notice, it shall be deemed that they do not intend to exercise their preferential rights. Unless otherwise provided in a resolution by the General Meeting, if holders equally entitled to preferential rights intend to subscribe or take over more shares than what is issued in the context of the capital increase, they may exercise their preferential rights in proportion to the face value of their shares or bonds.
- 11.4. On the basis of a written proposal by the Board of Directors, the General Meeting may exclude preferential rights or adopt a resolution pursuant to Article 11.1 to authorize the Board of Directors to exclude or restrict pre-emptive subscription (takeover) rights for the duration of the authorization for the capital increase. The General Meeting shall discuss the proposal for the exclusion or restriction of preferential rights along with the proposal for share capital increase but adopt a separate resolution on each. A proposal for the exclusion or restriction of preferential rights and/or a decision to exclude or restrict pre-emptive subscription (takeover) rights by the Board of Directors shall include the reasons for increasing the share capital, descriptions of the persons authorized to receive shares in the case of a share capital increase in a private placement and any changes in the proportion of voting rights of shareholders prior to the share capital increase.
- 11.5. In the case of a share capital increase, shareholders shall pay the issue value of shares when requested to do so by the Board of Directors in compliance with the conditions laid down in the resolutions of the General Meeting or the Board of Directors on the share capital increase. For persons having made preliminary statements of commitment to take over shares, setting the period for payment of the issue value of shares in the resolution of the General Meeting or the Board of Directors on the share capital increase shall be deemed a request to pay the issue price of shares. In the latter case, shareholders shall be required to pay the issue value of the shares they have undertaken to take over without a specific request from the Board of Directors within the applicable period.
