Furthermore, 2,590,330 conditional shares had been granted to Group employees subject to performance conditions not yet met. These 2,590,330 shares will be issued when necessary and, where applicable, by capitalisation of reserves.

The Company has not issued any securities that grant indirect access to the share capital.
