Agenda items and proposed resolutions
Proposed Resolution: The extraordinary general meeting of shareholders decides to approve the distribution of an intermediary and extraordinary dividend for a gross amount of EUR 4,07143 per share, to be distributed from the Company's retained earnings.
Proposed Resolution: As this comprises a mere acknowledgement, no proposed resolution has been included concerning this agenda point.
Proposed Resolution: The extraordinary general meeting approves a capital increase of the Company in kind, by allowing, through an optional share dividend, shareholders to contribute their net dividend claim of EUR 2,85 per share (thus irrespective of whether a shareholder is subject to withholding tax) that stem from the dividend approved under agenda point 1 into the capital of the company against the issuance of new ordinary shares without nominal value.
The issue price for the new shares issued under the capital increase shall be EUR 11,40 per new share (entailing that shareholders will be required to contribute 4 net dividend claims to receive 1 new share in the Company), whereby the distribution of the optional share dividend and the resulting capital increase shall result in a maximum increase of the Company's equity (including issue premium) of EUR 164.000.362,95 (USD 189,914,880.30 at today's exchange rate).
The extraordinary general meeting approves and ratifies the preparations undertaken by the board of directors in the context of the extraordinary general meeting and approves of the abovementioned terms of the capital increase. The extraordinary general meeting acknowledges that the further modalities of the optional share dividend shall be set out in the information memorandum concerning the optional share dividend.
