Mr. Jörg Bantleon, Germany informed us on September 3, 2018 pursuant to Art. 43 (1) WpHG thereby making reference to the exceedance of the threshold of 10% or a higher threshold from August 31, 2018 as follows:

1. Objectives pursued with the acquisition of the voting rights:

a) The investment is mainly used to implement strategic objectives,
whereupon selling the shares is not excluded.

b) It is not intended at the present time, but is by no means excluded for the future to acquire further voting rights directly or indirectly by acquisition or in any other way within the next 12 months depending on market and company development.

c) The reporting person further on intends to influence the composition of the issuers' administration, management and supervisory board within the framework of the participation held and the exercise of the associated voting rights.

d) The reporting person does not intend to significantly change the capital structure, in particular with regard to the ratio of equity and debt financing and the dividend policy. However, the aim is to reduce debt and improve financial figures.

2. With regard to the origin of the funds, 100% of these are own funds used to finance the acquisition of voting rights.
