The authorisation will cancel the corresponding authorisation decided in the Annual General Meeting of 22 March 2010. Decide on share issues The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on share issues and granting special rights entitling to shares as follows: The Board of Directors was authorised to grant option rights and other special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act, which carry the right to receive, against payment, new shares of the company or the company's own shares held by the company in such a manner that the subscription price of the shares is paid in cash or by using the subscriber's receivable to set off the subscription price. A maximum of 21,400,000 new shares, including the shares received on basis of the special rights, can be issued. A maximum of 10,700,000 of the company's own shares held by the company can be conveyed and/or received on basis of the special rights. The number of shares to be issued to the company itself shall not exceed 10,700,000, including the number of own shares acquired by the company by virtue of the authorisation to repurchase the company's own shares. The new shares can be issued and the company's own shares held by the company conveyed to the company's shareholders in proportion to their present holding or by means of a directed issue, waiving the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders, if there is a weighty financial reason for the company to do so, such as using the shares to strengthen or develop the company's capital structure, as financing or in implementing acquisitions or other arrangements or in implementing the company's share-based incentive programs. The authorisation will also entitle to decide on a free share issue to the company itself. The subscription price of the new shares and the consideration paid for the company's own shares shall be recorded in the invested non-restricted equity fund. The authorisations are valid until 30 June 2012.
