How and where can stockholders register to attend the Annual General Meeting?
Before the Annual General Meeting, stockholders are sent an invitation via their depositary banks including the agenda for the Annual General Meeting. Using the reply form provided by the depositary bank, stockholders can either authorize the bank to exercise their voting rights or request an admission ticket from the depositary bank for themselves or a proxy. The invitation to the Annual General Meeting is published in the electronic German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and Authorized journal for stock market announcements. From the day of publication in the Federal Gazette, the invitation can also be accessed on the internet.
