5. Authorized Capital

The Executive Board is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the registered share capital of the Company until 10 May 2026 once or in partial amounts by a total of up to EUR 7,450,000.00 by issuing new non-par value bearer shares against cash contributions (Authorized Capital 2023). The new shares may, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, also be taken up by one or more credit institutions or by another enterprise that meets the requirements of § 186 paragraph 5 sentence 1 German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG) with the obligation to offer them exclusively to the shareholders for subscription (indirect subscription rights).

The shareholders shall in principle be granted subscription rights. However, the Executive Board is also authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to exclude shareholders' subscription rights:

  • in order to exclude fractional amounts from the subscription rights;
  • if the issue price of the new shares is not significantly lower than the stock exchange price of the shares that are already listed at the time the issue price is finally determined, which should be as close as possible to that of the share placement. The number of shares issued without subscription rights pursuant to § 186 paragraph 3 sentence 4 AktG may not in aggregate exceed 10 % of the registered share capital on the date on which this authorization takes effect or the date on which it is used. Counted in this number are shares that are being issued or will be issued on the basis of bonds with option and/or conversion rights or obligations, to the extent that the bonds are issued during the term of this authorization through an analogous application of § 186 paragraph 3 sentence 4 AktG without subscription rights. Also counted in this number are shares that are issued or sold during the term of this authorization through a direct or analogous application of § 186 paragraph 3 sentence 4 AktG;
  • to the extent that it is necessary in order to grant to holders and/or creditors of bonds with option and/or conversion rights or obligations that are issued by the Company and/or by companies that are dependent on the Company or in which the Company either directly or indirectly holds a majority interest the subscription rights to which they would be entitled upon exercise of their option and/or conversion rights or satisfaction of their option and/or conversion obligations;
  • to issue new shares up to a proportionate amount of the share capital totalling EUR 447,000.00 as employee shares to employees of the Company or of affiliated enterprises within the meaning of §§ 15 et seqq. AktG.

The Executive Board is also authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to determine the further details of the share rights and the terms and conditions of the share issue. The Supervisory Board is authorized to amend the wording of the Articles of Association to reflect how the Authorized Capital 2023 is used or to do so after the authorization period ends.

This authorization is limited to the extent that, after using the authorization, the total shares issued under this authorized capital without subscription rights may not exceed 10 % of the registered share capital on the day on which the authorization takes effect or, if lower, of the registered share capital on the day when the authorization is used. Treasury shares sold without subscription rights during the term of this authorization and shares issued without subscription rights from authorized capital during the term of this authorization shall count against this 10 % limit. Shares that are to be issued as a result of exercising option and/or conversion rights or satisfying option and/or conversion obligations attached to bonds shall also count to the extent that the associated bonds are issued without subscription rights during the term of this authorization on the basis of another authorization.

In addition, new shares may only be issued based on this authorization if the number of new shares does not exceed a total of 7,450,000 (which is equal to a EUR 7,450,000.00 interest in the registered share capital) after taking account of any new shares that have been or will be issued from conditional capital and may be used to service conversion or subscription rights, conversion obligations or tender rights, insofar as such conversion or subscription rights, conversion obligations or tender rights had already arisen during the term of this authorization.

6. Conditional Capital

The registered share capital shall be conditionally increased by up to EUR 7,450,000.00 by issuing up to 7,450,000 new non-par value bearer shares (Conditional Capital 2023). The conditional capital increase will only be implemented to the extent that the holders or creditors of warrant bonds and/or convertible bonds, profit participation rights and/or profit participation bonds (or combinations of these instruments) with option and/or conversion rights or obligations or tender rights of the Company, which the Company, companies that are dependent on the Company or companies that are in direct or indirect majority ownership of the Company shall have issued on the basis of the authorization resolution of the General Meeting of 11 May 2023 until 10 May 2026, make use of their option or conversion rights resulting from these bonds or perform their obligations on exercise of the option or conversion rights, to the extent the Company exercises an option to grant non-par value shares of the Company in full or partial settlement of the amount of money due and to the extent that no cash

remuneration is granted and no treasury shares or shares of another listed company are used to service them.

The issue of new shares from the Conditional Capital 2023 is only permissible provided that no more than 7,450,000 new shares (corresponding to a share in the registered share capital of EUR 7,450,000.00) are issued, also taking account of any new shares that may have previously been issued from authorized capital during the term of the authorization resolution of 11 May 2023.

The new shares shall be issued at option or conversion prices to be determined in accordance with the above authorization resolution. The new shares shall participate in the profits from the beginning of the fiscal year in which they are created. To the extent permitted by law, the Executive Board may, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, also determine the profit participation of new shares for a fiscal year that has already ended.
