Springer AG), and that the calling notice did not contain the descriptions 
mentioned in section 2 of Regulation 2009-07-06-983 cf. section 5-11b of the 
Public Limited Liability Companies Act as the Company´s sole shareholder is 
familiar with the relevant matters. The calling notice and the agenda were 
unanimously approved by the general meeting.
