The numbers notified above do not include the voting rights from 72,702

Special Situations Fund as of 7 December 2023. Klaus Umek / Petrus
Advisers Ltd. can only issue recommendations on the exercise of the voting
rights concerned but cannot otherwise exercise any further influence.
Therefore, these voting rights are not to be attributed to Klaus Umek /

only.

 

The 787 057 voting rights from shares notified under section 7.A
(indirect) include 209 790 voting rights that are attributable to Petrus
Advisers Ltd. based on voting proxies granted by natural persons and are
therefore not reflected under section 8.
