In the context of the subscription offer, with its subscription period expected to start on 10 October 2013 and its end being expected on 23 October 2013, 7,304,716 New Shares can be subscribed to. New Shares potentially not subscribed during the subscription offer will be offered by Berenberg and WGZ to qualified investors outside the USA according to Regulation S of the Securities Act as well as outside Canada, Japan and Australia after the expiry of the subscription period.
