 of group operations for the previous fiscal year and submit them to the
Supervisory Board and to the auditor. At that time the Executive Board shall submit to the
Supervisory Board the proposal it wishes to make to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
concerning the appropriation of retained earnings. These provisions do not affect the
provisions in the German Commercial Code, sections 298 (3) and 315 (3).
 3.
    
    The annual financial statements, the consolidated annual financial statements, the review of
operations, the review of group operations, the Supervisory Boards report pursuant to the
German Stock Corporation Act, section 171 (2), and the Executive Boards proposal for the
appropriation of the retained earnings shall be available for the shareholders inspection at
the offices of the Company from the time when the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is
called. The obligations under the foregoing sentence shall not apply if the specified
documents are made available on the Companys website for the same period of time.
 4.
    
    Each year, after receiving the Supervisory Boards report pursuant to the German Stock
Corporation Act, section 171 (2), the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders shall resolve
within the first eight months of the fiscal year on the formal approval of the acts of the
Executive and Supervisory Boards, the appropriation of the retained earnings, the appointment
of the auditor, and in the cases provided for by law, the adoption of the annual financial
statements, and approval of the consolidated annual financial statements.
 5.
    
    When approving the annual financial statements, the Executive and Supervisory Boards shall be
authorized to transfer to revenue reserves either all or part of the annual net income
remaining after deduction of amounts to be transferred to the legal reserves and of any
accumulated losses carried forward. The Executive and Supervisory Boards may not transfer more
than one half of the annual net income if, after such transfer, the other revenue reserves
would exceed one half of the capital stock.

preference shares shall receive a share of the retained earnings to be distributed that
exceeds the dividend paid on ordinary shares by at least 1 euro cent and is equal to not less
than 1 euro cent per preference share. In the event that the retained earnings of a fiscal
year are not sufficient to pay the preferred amount pursuant to sentence 1, the retained
earnings of the subsequent fiscal year shall first be used to pay the arrears without interest
before the entire preferred amount for that fiscal year is distributed to the holders of
preference shares. In the event of there being outstanding preferred amounts for several
fiscal years, the retained earnings shall first be used to pay the arrears without interest in
the order of their accrual, and when all arrears have been paid, the remainder shall be used
to pay the preferred amount for the fiscal year preceding the dividend distribution. The right
to back payment constitutes part of the share in the profits of that fiscal year of which the
retained earnings are used to make the back payment on the preference shares.
 7.
    
    Instead of distributing a cash dividend, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders can
resolve to appropriate retained earnings by way of distribution in kind.
