Altogether no more than 6,400,000 own shares may be purchased, of which no more
than 952,000 are class A shares and 5,448,000 are class B shares. The
above-mentioned amounts include the class B shares purchased during 2005-2008

share-based incentive plan, or to be transferred for other purposes or to be
