Share Capital

The Company's subscribed and paid-in share capital amounts to 55,948,257.00 Euros. It is comprised of 55,948,257 common shares, par value 1 Euro each. Each common share conveys the right to cast one vote, exception made for the shares with increased voting rights

(in the ratio of two voting rights for each share).
