The Managing Board is authorized, with the Supervisory Board’s assent, to utilize the company’s
shares, which are acquired on the basis of this authorization or on the basis of an authorization that
was issued at an earlier time, for the following purposes:
The shares may also be sold in another manner than through the stock market or by offer to all
shareholders, if the shares are sold in return for cash payment at a price that is not significantly less
than the company’s stock market price at the time of disposal. This authorization applies only to the
extent, however, that shares sold on the basis of this authorization may not exceed a proportional
amount equivalent to a total of 10 % of the share capital, neither on the date when this authorization
becomes effective, nor on the date when this authorization is exercised. The maximum 10 % limit
reduces by the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to those shares that are issued
during the duration of this authorization as part of a capital increase under exclusion of subscription
rights pursuant to Section 186 (3) Sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The
10 % maximum limit is also reduced by the proportional amount of the share capital attributable to
those shares that were issued to service bonds with conversion or option rights, or which are to
be issued, to the extent that the bonds were issued during the period of this authorization under
exclusion of subscription rights in corresponding application of Section 186 (3) Sentence 4 of the
German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
The shares may be sold in return for non-cash payment, particularly also in connection with the
business combinations, and the acquisition of companies, parts of companies, and participating
interests in companies.
The shares may be offered for purchase to individuals who are employed by the company or by its
associated companies.
The shares may be utilized to satisfy the company’s obligation arising from bonds with warrants
and/or convertible bonds that are issued or guaranteed by it in the future.
The authorization may be exercised either wholly or in partial amounts, once or on several occasions,
and in the pursuit of one or several purposes by the company. Shareholders’ subscription rights
to these treasury shares are excluded to this extent. Above and beyond this, the Managing Board,
with Supervisory Board assent, may exclude subscription rights for fractional amounts when selling
treasury shares as part of an offer to all of the company’s shareholders.
The Managing Board is also authorized to withdraw and cancel the acquired treasury shares, with
the Supervisory Board’s assent, and without a further resolution being required to be passed by
the Shareholders’ General Meeting.
