The holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share and to participate in the distribution of dividends and
liquidation proceeds. Pursuant to section 39 of the Articles of Association, first a dividend will be declared on cumulative
preferred shares and on cumulative preferred financing shares out of net income. The remaining income, after reservations
made by the Supervisory Board in consultation with the Corporate Executive Board, will be available for distribution to the
common shareholders upon approval at the General Meeting of Shareholders. Upon recommendation of the Corporate
Executive Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, the General Meeting of Shareholders can decide to pay
a dividend wholly or partly in the form of common shares. Amounts not paid in the form of dividends will be added to
accumulated deficit. In the financial statements the dividend on cumulative preferred financing shares is included in the
statements of operations. Consequently, net income according to the parent company statements of operations is fully
attributable to common shareholders. The proposed profit-sharing statement reads as follows:

shares will be paid in 2007 with respect to 2006.
