Voting Rights Notifications

According to section 33 et seq. of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG), shareholders who reach, exceed or fall below certain voting rights thresholds (3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% or 75%) in an issuer whose home country is the Federal Republic of Germany through purchase, sale or other means are obliged to notify the issuer and simultaneously the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht – BaFin) without undue delay, and at the latest within four trading days, of reaching, exceeding or falling below the aforementioned thresholds. In addition to direct holdings of voting rights, capital market participants must also file a notification in accordance with sections 38 and 39 WpHG if they hold certain financial instruments with which shares can be acquired. In this case, however, the opening threshold is 5%.
