rights, the acquirer of shares must place an application<br />

refuse the entry in the share register if the applicant<br />

does not explicitly declare that he has acquired and will<br />

hold the shares in its own name and on its own account.<br />

Parties who act together are considered as one person.<br />

The Board of Directors may approve exceptions with<br />

good reason and no special quorum is required for such<br />

decision.<br />

Granting exceptions in the year under review<br />

During the reporting period, no exceptions to the above<br />

listed rules were granted by the Board of Directors.<br />
