Ad hoc-Notification

pursuant to

Section 15 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act
(Wertpapierhandelsgesetz - WpHG)

Legal action against resolution regarding appropriation of balance sheet
profits, share repurchase 2014 and election of Professor Dr. h.c. Ludwig
Georg Braun as supervisory board member

The Company learnt today that a law suit has been filed against the
resolutions of the annual general meeting of 12 June 2014 regarding the
appropriation of the balance sheet profits (item 2 of the agenda), the
planned share repurchase 2014 (item 3 of the agenda) and the election of
Professor Dr. h.c. Ludwig Georg Braun as member of the supervisory board
(item 7.4 of the agenda).

The Company considers the challenged resolutions to be lawful. It intends
to defend itself against the law suit and to pursue a fast track proceeding
(Freigabeverfahren) pursuant to Section 246a of the German Stock
Corporation Act in order to effect the registration of the resolution
regarding the capital decrease required for the share repurchase 2014 with
the commercial register.

The Company has no information as to whether the register court will
suspend the procedure regarding the registration with the commercial
register until a decision has been taken in the fast track proceeding or
make the registration. A repurchase offer under the share repurchase 2014
will only be made after registration of the resolution regarding the
capital decrease with the commercial register. It cannot be foreseen when
this will be the case. In the event no shares should have been tendered
based on a repurchase offer of the Company until expiry of 31 December
2014, the resolution regarding the share repurchase 2014 will lapse and the
respective funds will be distributed by way of another dividend.
