At the time the Annual General Meeting is convened, the company's share capital amounts to EUR 21,954,414.00 and is divided into 10,977,207 no-par value bearer shares. Each share grants one vote. The total number of voting rights at the time the Annual General Meeting is convened is therefore 10,977,207 voting rights. The number of shares and therefore voting rights may still change by the time of the Annual General Meeting due to the issue of shares to holders of convertible bonds.

There are not several classes of shares.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Bettina Höfinger (e-mail: investor.relations@doco.com).
