Extraordinary General Meeting

Although all items on the agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting were supported by a large majority of shareholders' votes, three resolutions relating to the new authorized capital, the acquisition or disposal of own shares in the event of imminent serious harm to the company and the provision of a statutory exception with regard to stock options for directors and the determination and payment of the variable remuneration of directors, did not reach the required 75% majority and hence were not approved.
