It is proposed that the Board of Managing Directors will be authorized to issue shares in the capital of the Company up to a maximum of 20% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of the exercise of this authorization for a period ending on the day of the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held in 2021. The authority of the Board of Managing Directors to issue shares in the capital of the Company includes the authority to grant the right to subscribe for shares in the capital of the Company.

This authorization will allow the Board of Managing Directors to issue shares in the capital of the Company, without having to hold a separate general meeting of shareholders.

Provided that the proposal in item 10 is adopted by the general meeting of shareholders, the Existing Authorization will lapse as per the day of the annual general meeting
