to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No

private equity partners (‘HGPEP’, UK), Trafalgar Recovery Fund and Trafalgar Discovery Fund (jointly
‘Trafalgar’, Cayman Islands), and ECO Master Fund, Ltd (‘ECO’, Cayman Islands) acquire within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking Kunert AG
(‘Kunert’, Germany) by way of purchase of shares.

— for Deutsche Bank: banking;

— for undertakings HGPEP, Trafalgar, ECO: investment funds;

— for Kunert: production and distribution of stocking, lingerie, underwear and outwear.
