Trading of your company's shares
Dear Sir or Madam.
We would like to inform you that the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange has received an application for inclusion of your company's shares in the Third Market Segment called Freiverkehr. The brokerage companies called
Berliner Freiverkehr (Aktien) AG
has filed the application. Presumably, trading will begin on 2006/03/24.
For decades, the Third Market Segment has been an established trading segment on all German exchanges for shares, bonds, derivative certificates and warrants. The main objective of the Third Market Segment is to increase investors' protection by providing supervision for parts of the OTC-trading taking place anyway. Supervision is performed by the exchange's Market Surveillance Office, the Exchange Supervisory Authority and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority.
As primary precondition for the inclusion in the Third Market Segment, a company's shares have to be listed on another regulated and surveilled exchange, either German or foreign. Companies listed on such an exchange provide investors with up-to-date information on a regular basis.
The application for inclusion is filed by one of our member brokerage companies. Since the shares of your company are already listed on another exchange, the application does not have to originate from you. The inclusion to trade may be requested, rejected, or repealed irrespective of your initiative. Therefore, only the brokerage company may ask for the cessation of trading. The inclusion may only be repealed if one of its preconditions is no longer fulfilled or adequate and orderly trading is no longer ensured. Please note that the executive management of our exchange makes the final decision on the inclusion to trade and its repeal.

There are neither costs nor further obligations for your company resulting from the inclusion in our Third Market Seament. Pursuant to German law, the inclusion in the Third Market Segment is not considered a formal admission to trading or a formal listing. Therefore, you do not have to publish price sensitive information or director's dealings nor do you have to maintain an insiders' register with regard to the trading on our exchange. It is only our broker's obligation to provide us with up-to-date information about your company that we will publish on our website www.berlinerboerse.de. There is no legal obligation for you to get in touch with us at all.

The price fixing process in the Third Market Segment is governed by the rules and regulations of the German-Exchange Act, the Ordinance of the Berlin-Bremen-Stock-Exchange and the Terms and Conditions for Trades on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange that apply for all exchange trading. Our exchange's Market Surveillance Office and the Exchange Supervisory Authority make sure that prices are fixed in a due and fair manner. Further, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority monitors the exchange trading as well as all OTC-dealings and thus all securities transactions concluded on our Third Market Segment. Hence, infringements of Exchange- and Securities Trading Law will be identified and prosecuted at an early stage.
German investors are highly interested in trading foreign securities. However, costs incurred by trading on foreign exchanges are very high, making it unattractive. Including foreign securities for trading in our Third Market Segments offers German investors the possibility to purchase them at domestic conditions and within a familiar legal environment.
The former Berlin Stock Exchange therefore already decided in the mid 1980's to allow trading of foreign securities. Since then our exchange ensures due and fair trading in over 10,000 securities from 65 countries. In the year 1999, close contact with the US regulatory agency SEC was established which resulted in the designation of the Berlin Stock Exchange as a "Designated Offshore Securities Market". Due to its dedication to the trading of foreign securities, the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange today is an exchange of high standing among market participants as well as private investors.
In case you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
