The resolution of the Annual General Meeting authorises the Management Board to sell the shares with the approval of the Supervisory Board. The shares may also be sold by means other than via the stock exchange or by means of a public purchase offer to all shareholders, provided that the acquired treasury shares are sold at a price that is not significantly lower than the market price of the Company's shares of the same class at the time of the sale.
