Special Situations Fund as of 30 January 2024. Klaus Umek / Petrus
Advisers Ltd. can only issue recommendations on the exercise of the voting

Therefore, these voting rights are not to be attributed to Klaus Umek /
Petrus Advisers for the purpose of this notification but are merely

only.
The 899,422 voting rights from shares notified under section 7.A
(indirect) include 209,790 voting rights that are attributable to Petrus
Advisers Ltd. based on voting proxies granted by natural persons and are
therefore not reflected under section 8.
