In connection with the re-division of the share capital (share split in the
ratio of 1:3), effective as of 15 June 2007 inter alia the provisions
regarding the dividend preference and the minimum dividend per preference
share in sec. 19 (2) to (4) of the Company's articles of association have
been changed, i.e. the dividend preference and the minimum dividend have as
well been split in the ratio 1:3. As a consequence the dividend preference
and the minimum dividend remain, from an economic point of view, unchanged
by the share split.
The wording of sec. 19 (2) to (4) of the Company's articles of association
reads henceforth as follows:

'(2) Out of the annual balance sheet profits, the non-voting bearer
preference shares shall receive a dividend which exceeds that for the
ordinary shares by an amount of EUR 0.02 per preference share, but at least
a dividend in an amount of EUR 0.04 per preference share.

(3) The minimum dividend of EUR 0.04 per preference share shall take
precedence over the distribution of a dividend on the ordinary shares.

(4) In the event that the balance sheet profits for one or more fiscal
years are insufficient to distribute EUR 0.04 per preference share, the
lacking sums shall be paid subsequently without interest out of the balance
sheet profits for the following fiscal years, i.e. after distribution of
the minimum dividend on the preference shares for these fiscal years and
before distribution of a dividend on the ordinary shares. The right to
subsequent payment shall be part of the profit share for the fiscal year
from the balance sheet profits of which the subsequent payment on the
preference shares is made.'
