Offer Shares will be resolved by the Board of Directors pursuant to an

authorization granted by the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 13

the Rights Issue is approved by the NFSA as scheduled, the subscription period

will commence on 26 March 2018 at 09:00 (CET) and end on 6 April 2018 at 16:30

hours (CET). Further details on the terms of the Rights Issue will be described

in the prospectus to be released in connection with commencement of the

subscription period.

Existing shareholders will be granted subscription rights for the Offer Shares

in the Rights Issue pro rata to their existing shareholding in the Company, with

each subscription right giving right to subscribe and be allocated one (1) Offer

Share in the Rights Issue. The shareholders will receive subscription rights on

the basis of their shareholding in the Company as of the expiry of 21 March 2018

(as registered in the Company's shareholder register in the VPS as of the expiry
