How and where can a shareholder sign up for the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting?
The shareholders receive the invitation to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, together with the agenda, from their depositary bank prior to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The depositary bank sends along a reply slip that the shareholder can use to authorize the bank to exercise the shareholder’s voting rights or, on the other hand, to request an admission ticket for her-/himself or a proxy. The invitation to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting is also published in the electronic edition of the Bundesanzeiger [The Federal Bulletin] and in a mandatory federal gazette. As of the day the invitation is published in the Bundesanzeiger, the invitation and the agenda are also available on the Internet.
