Although all items on the agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting were supported by a large majority of shareholders' votes, the resolutions relating to the new authorized capital and the acquisition or disposal of own shares in the event of imminent serious harm to the company, did not reach the required 75% majority and hence were not approved.
