incentive scheme.

The repurchased shares may be held for reissue, canceled or transferred further.

the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting on March 27, 2015 to
decide on the repurchase of the Company's own shares.

approximately 6.7 percent of all shares in the Company.

The new shares and the special rights referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the

shareholders in proportion to their current shareholdings in the Company. The
new shares and the special rights referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the
Companies Act may also be issued and the Company's own shares transferred in
deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights by way of a directed issue
if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company to do so. The deviation
from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights may be carried out for example in
order to develop the Company's capital structure, in order to finance or carry
out acquisitions, investments or other business transactions, or in order to use
the shares for an incentive scheme. A directed share issue may be executed
without consideration only if there is an especially weighty financial reason
for the Company to do so, taking the interests of all its shareholders into
account.

The Board of Directors decides on all other matters related to the issuance of
shares and special rights referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Companies
Act.

The authorization is effective until June 30, 2018, and it cancels the
