In January each year, the Board of Directors will address questions pertaining to the conversion to Class B shares for those Class A shares for which the holders have requested conversion during the immediately preceding calendar year. However, should the Board finds grounds thereto, the Board is permitted to address conversion issues even at other times. Conversions shall be reported for registration without delay and conversion shall become effective as soon as registration has been completed.

§ 6 Pre-emption rights
If the Company decides to issue new Class A and Class B shares through a cash issue or an offset issue, holders of Class A and Class B shares have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class in relation to the number of shares already held (primary pre-emption right).
Shares that are not subscribed for by primary pre-emption rights are offered to all shareholders for subscription (subsidiary pre-emption rights). If the number of shares offered on this basis is insufficient for subscription based on subsidiary pre-emption rights, the shares are distributed in relation to the number of shares already held and, insofar as this is not possible, by lottery.
If the Company decides to issue warrants or convertible debentures through a cash issue or an offset issue, the shareholders have pre-emption rights to subscribe for warrants as if the issue applied to the shares that may be newly subscribed on the basis of the warrants or, respectively, the pre-emption rights to subscribe for convertibles as if the issue pertained to those shares for which the warrants or convertibles, respectively may be exchanged.
If the Company decides by means of a cash or offset issue to issue shares of only Class A or Class B, all shareholders, irrespective of whether their shares are of Class A or Class B, have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares owned prior to the issue.
The above stipulations do not constitute any infringement on the possibility to make a decision regarding a cash issue or an offset issue whereby the shareholders’ pre-emption rights are disapplied.
Should the share capital be increased through a bonus issue, new shares of each class will be issued in relation to the number of shares of the same series already held. In such cases, existing shares of a specific class carry entitlement to new shares of the same class. The aforementioned does not restrict the possibility of issuing shares of a new class through a bonus issue following the necessary amendment to the Articles of Association.
