Boards share issue authorization

The Annual General meeting authorized the Board of Directors to
decide to issue a maximum of  12,500,000 new shares and/or transfer a
maximum of 3,848,877 treasury shares held by the Company either
against payment or, as part of the implementation of the Company's
share-based incentive plan, without payment ("Share issue
authorization").
Said new shares may be issued and said treasury shares may be
transferred to the Company's shareholders in proportion to their
current shareholdings in the Company, or through a private placement
if the Company has a cogent financial reason for doing so, such as
financing or implementing mergers and acquisitions, developing its
capital structure, improving the liquidity of the Company's shares or
if this is justified for the purpose of implementing the Company's
share-based incentive plan. Private placement may be carried out
without payment only in connection with implementation of the
Company's share-based incentive plan.

The subscription price of new shares and the amount payable for
treasury shares shall be recognized under invested unrestricted
equity reserve.
The share issue authorization will remain valid until the end of the
next Annual General Meeting.
