LITIGATION
As in the preceding years, the Supervisory Board was kept informed regularly on Dr. Kirch’s lawsuits against
Deutsche Bank and Dr. Breuer, and discussed further courses of action. Also the actions for rescission and to obtain
information filed in connection with the General Meetings 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 were regularly and comprehensively
discussed, along with possible consequences. Dr. Börsig’s election as member of the Supervisory Board
by the General Meeting on June 1, 2006, was confirmed by the General Meeting on May 24, 2007, after the Frankfurt
District Court had declared the election void in the first instance.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

auditor of the Annual Financial Statements elected at last year’s General Meeting, has audited the accounting, the
Annual Financial Statements and the Management Report for 2007 as well as the Consolidated Financial Statements
with the related Notes and Management Report for 2007. The audits led in each case to an unqualified opinion. We
agreed with the results of these audits after an inspection of the auditors’ reports as well as extensive discussion, in
accordance with the Audit Committee’s recommendation.
Today, we established the Annual Financial Statements prepared by the Management Board and approved the Consolidated
Financial Statements. We agree with the Management Board’s proposal for the appropriation of profits and
with the payment of a dividend of € 4.50 per no par value share entitled to dividend payment.
