CHANGE IN CONTROL AND DEFENSIVE MEASURES

In the event of a change in control of the company, employee options granted can be exercised without regard to the three-to-five-year blocking period. The change in control measures are also applicable in case employees are leaving the company. Other than that, there are no special agreements concerning a change in control that would favor either the members of the Board of Directors, Group Management, or any other company management members. The Articles of Association of incorporation make no special provision regarding “opting out” or “opting up” ­pursuant to article 125 and 135 Finfra 6.
