Board by up to a further EUR 7,795,200.00 in exchange for cash contributions and/or
contributions in kind through the issuance of up to 3,897,600 shares of ordinary

Investor Relations
With its unique focus on the core segments Airline Catering, International Event Catering,
and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel; DO & CO has evolved over the years into a
visible and formidable player on the global market. It is precisely this strategic orientation
as a “Gourmet Entertainment Company” which renders DO & CO so difficult to
benchmark adequately against other companies. That makes it all the more important
for the company to involve private and institutional investors and analysts in the company’s
development by pursuing a modern and straight-forward information policy.
DO & CO is committed to clear-cut communications with all target groups in the
financial community. To this end, it announced business results at regular intervals
throughout the business year and disclosed relevant events in press releases. All
published materials and information of interest on DO & CO stock are posted under
Investor Relations on the DO & CO homepage at www.doco.com.
Members of the Management Board and management of the DO & CO Group staged
numerous road shows throughout Europe again in the year under review. DO & CO
was also represented at investor conferences in Turkey and Austria.
