To increase the Group's share capital by EUR 25,340,000 through the issuing of
new ordinary shares under the following terms and conditions:
i. to issue 905,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of EUR 1, as a

payment of the nominal value, which is EUR 1, and the share premium with
a lower limit of EUR 27, with it being possible for the Supervisory Board
to assign a higher share premium by the start of share subscription, at
the latest;
iii. only the Group's shareholders who have the right of pre-emption for new
shares for a period of two weeks as of the start of the subscription
period for shares are allowed to participate in the subscription of new
shares. The circle of individuals (shareholders) entitled to use the
right of pre-emption shall be determined as at the close of business for
the Nasdaq CSD securities settlement system on 8 September 2021;
iv. The Group's shareholders, who have been entered in the list of
shareholders as at the fixing date, shall each be granted 1 (one) right
of pre-emption for every existing 33 (thirty-three) shares. The
subscription to each new share requires 1 (one) right of pre-emption. If
the number of shares in the possession of the shareholder does not grant
them the right to subscribe to a whole number of shares, the number of
subscribed shares shall be rounded to the nearest mathematical whole
number, whereas fractions under one shall be rounded to one. The specific
principles for the distribution of shares shall be established before the
beginning of the offer in the upcoming prospectus for public offering,
listing and admission to trading (hereinafter: the Prospectus);

viii. new shares shall be distributed in accordance with their subscription
orders, but not more than the number of the respective individual's pre-
emptive rights to subscribe to shares. In the case of an amount that
exceeds the quantity indicated, the shares shall be divided in proportion
to the pre-emptive rights belonging to subscribers (but not in excess of
the number of shares subscribed to by the corresponding individual);
ix. if it becomes apparent that share subscription exceeds the number of
shares being offered under the current decision, then the number of
shares subscribed for shall be divided proportionally between subscribers
based on the pre-emptive rights belonging to the subscribers. In the
event that the subscribed shares are not divided exactly between
subscribers, the Group's Supervisory Board shall make the final decision
on the division of subscribed shares between subscribers. The Group's
Supervisory Board decides on the cancellation of oversubscribed shares.
In the event that all of the new shares have not been fully subscribed by
the term specified in the decision, the Group's Management Board shall
have the right to extend the subscription period or cancel any shares
that have not been subscribed during the subscription period. The
