6   Shareholders’ participation rights

6.1     Voting rights and representation restrictions

Only persons identified as being entered in the share register are entitled to exercise participation rights at the general meeting. The Board of Directors may reject an entry if the number of registered shares held by the acquiring party or by a group of shareholders acting jointly exceeds 5% of the share capital. The registration restrictions may be lifted by a simple majority decision taken by the general meeting. There are no other restrictions.

In the 2011 financial year, the Board of Directors did not reject any entries into share register.

Every shareholder also has the option of representing his shares personally at the general meeting or of having himself represented by a proxy authorised in writing who need not be a shareholder.
