follows:
The amount of own shares to be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge shall not
exceed 14,000,000 shares, which on the day of the Annual General Meeting

the unrestricted equity of the company can be used to repurchase own shares on
the basis of the authorisation.
Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date of
the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market.
The Board of Directors decides how own shares will be repurchased and/or
accepted as pledge. Shares can be repurchased using, inter alia, derivatives.
Own shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings
of the existing shareholders (directed repurchase).
Own shares may be repurchased on the basis of the authorisation in order to
finance or carry out acquisitions or other business transactions, in order to
develop the company’s capital structure, to improve the liquidity of the
company’s shares, to be disposed for other purposes or to be cancelled. Own
shares may be accepted as pledge on the basis of the authorisation in order to
finance or carry out acquisitions or other business transactions. The
authorisation cannot be used for incentive schemes.
The authorisation cancels the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by
the General Meeting on 14 March 2018 to decide on the repurchase and/or
acceptance as pledge of the company’s own shares.
The authorisation is effective until the end of the next Annual General Meeting,
however no longer than until 30 June 2020.

shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (directed issue).
The authorisation can be used to finance and to carry out acquisitions or other
business transactions and investments as well as to improve the capital
structure. The authorisation cannot be used for incentive schemes.
The authorisation cancels the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by
the General Meeting on 14 March 2018 to decide on the issuance of shares as well
