The Executive Board and Supervisory Board propose to the General Stockholders' Meeting the payment of a dividend of €0.45 (prior year €0.30) per share, a transfer to retained earnings of €184 million, and the carryforward of the balance of €22 million. Should the number of shares eligible for dividend distribution change before the date of the General Stockholders' Meeting, the proposed dividend distribution will be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, of the €415 million unappropriated net income, a total of €209 million will be used to pay a dividend on the 464,394,337 shares eligible for dividend payments at September 30, 2010.
