exercised on this resolution, the Company extends an invitation to dissenting shareholders to engage with the
Company by forwarding their concerns/questions on the implementation report to Investor Relations in writing

Friday, 17 May 2019. In addition, proactive steps will be taken in the coming months to initiate a dialogue with
investors in this regard.
