The free share issue shall be executed in the book-entry system and requires no actions from the shareholders. The new shares shall be registered approximately on Tuesday, April 2, 2013, and shall generate shareholder rights as of the said date. No dividend decided upon by the Annual General Meeting shall be paid to the new shares for the year 2012.

Each shareholder, who is registered on the record date on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 in the shareholders' register of the company, will be entitled to receive shares on the basis of the free share issue.
