Limitations to transferability and nominee registrations
Anyone registered in the Share Register is considered to be a shareholder or beneficial owner. Anyone purchasing registered shares is registered by the Board of Directors in the Share Register on request as a shareholder with voting rights, provided they expressly declare that the shares have been bought and are held for their own account.
The Board of Directors registers nominees with voting rights in the Share Register up to a maximum of 5% of the share capital recorded in the Commercial Register. Above this limit registered shares of nominees with voting rights are only registered in the Share Register if the nominee discloses the names, addresses and holdings of the persons for whose account he or she holds 0.5% or more of the registered share capital. Nominees are persons who do not expressly declare in their registration request that they are holding the shares for their own account. The Board of Directors is entitled to conclude agreements with nominees regarding reporting obligations within the scope of the applicable law. The Board may grant exceptions to the nominee ruling on a case-by-case basis.
Legal entities and legal communities connected by capital, voting rights, management or in any other way are regarded as a single purchaser, as are all natural persons, legal entities or legal communities acting in a coordinated manner by agreement, as a syndicate or in any other way with a view to circumventing the nominee ruling.
The Company may cancel registrations in the Share Register and backdate such cancellation to the date of registration request if such registrations are found to be based on false information given by the purchaser. In such cases the purchaser must be informed immediately of the cancellation.
The registration restrictions described above also apply to shares bought or subscribed via the exercise of pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or options.
