Own shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings
of the existing shareholders (directed repurchase).

Own shares may be repurchased on the basis of the authorisation in order to
finance or carry out acquisitions or other business transactions, in order to
develop the company's capital structure, to improve the liquidity of the

shares may be accepted as pledge on the basis of the authorisation in order to
finance or carry out acquisitions or other business transactions. The
authorisation cannot be used for incentive schemes.

The authorisation cancels the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by

shareholders' pre-emptive rights (directed issue).

The authorisation can be used to finance and to carry out acquisitions or other
business transactions and investments as well as to improve the capital
structure. The authorisation cannot be used for incentive schemes.

the General Meeting on 16 March 2016 to decide on the issuance of shares as well
