Class A shares may be issued up to a maximum number of shares that represents the full share capital. Class B shares may be issued up to a maximum number of shares that represents the full share capital.

If the company resolves to issue new class A and class B shares, where payment is not to be made in kind, owners of class A and class B shares shall enjoy pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them (primary pre-emption right). Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to the primary pre-emption rights shall be offered to all shareholders (secondary pre- emption right). If the shares thus offered are not sufficient for the subscription pursuant to the secondary pre-emption rights, the shares shall be allocated between the subscribers pro rata to the number of shares previously held and, to the extent such allocation cannot be effected, by the drawing of lots.

If the company resolves to issue warrants or convertible debentures where payment is not to be made in kind, the shareholders shall enjoy pre-emption rights in accordance with the third and fourth paragraphs above.

The above shall not limit the right to resolve upon an issue with a deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

If the share capital is increased by a bonus issue, new shares shall be issued in relation to the number of shares of the same classes already issued. In such cases, old shares of a specific class shall entitle to new shares of the same class. Following a requisite amendment in the Articles of Association, the aforementioned stipulation shall not infringe on the possibility to issue shares of a new class by a bonus issue.
