First warning of the sale of unclaimed shares

(This is a non-binding translation of the original German version.)

In the electronic Federal Gazette (‘elektronischer Bundesanzeiger’) of July 29, 2004, we asked our shareholders to take possession of the new shares they are entitled to as a result of the capital increase from existing funds through the conversion of capital reserves and other retained earnings in issued capital pursuant to section §§ 207 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) with a total value of EUR 69,408,066.- .The new shares are to be collected from DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main, acting through dwpbank Deutsche WertpapierService Bank AG, Wildunger Strasse 14, 60487 Frankfurt am Main (Ms. Göttel, division securities counter 2) qua depot credit. In the notification, we advised that the Company, pursuant to section § 214 (2) and (3) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), is entitled and obliged, following three warnings, to sell shares which have not been claimed within one year following the official announcement of this request for the account of the parties.

Following the lapse of the one year deadline on July 29, 2005, we hereby for the first time warn of the sale of shares which have not been claimed at the issuing office by submitting profit participation certificate no. 11, which serves as proof of entitlement.

This initial warning will be followed by two further monthly warnings.

All new shares not claimed within a period of one year after the third warning will be sold at their market price for the account of the parties. Insofar as the parties concerned are unknown, we will place the proceeds of the sale to which they are entitled to, at the depository of the local court in Frankfurt.
