3 As of the moment that the renewed authorised capital under this proposal to the extraordinary shareholders meeting to renew the authorised capital can be used, the existing authorisation approved by the extraordinary general meeting dated 18 June 2021 shall be cancelled and the present proposal shall replace it.
