who shall attend the shareholders' meeting on behalf of the shareholder and who

granted to a specific person (a natural or a legal person) in text format
(Section 13 (2) AktG), and also several persons may be granted proxy. Proxy may
be granted both prior to and during the shareholders' meeting. We are offering

assessment of an item on the agenda. The duty to provide information also
includes the legal relationships of the Company with an affiliate and the
situation of the group and of the entities included in the consolidated
