the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), to purchase company shares (preferred<br />

Category B shares) totaling no more than 10 percent of the company’s share capital during<br />

a period ending December 31, 2011. The Management Board of <strong>Miba</strong> AG resolved on<br />

July 14, 2009, to implement a new share buyback plan for 30,000 preferred Category B<br />

shares. <strong>No</strong> further shares of <strong>Miba</strong> stock were created through this share<br />
