a)The Management Board shall be authorized in accordance with § 65

The acquisition cannot be effected for the purpose of trading in

as from May 8, 2015 to decide in accordance with § 65 para. 1b AktG,
with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to alienate and/or use
treasury shares in a way different from sale on an exchange or by way
of a public offer, with the regulations governing the exclusion of
the shareholders' subscription rights applying by analogy, and to
determine the terms of the alienation. The authorization may be
exercised in full or in part or even in several tranches by the
Company, by a subsidiary (§ 228 para. 3 UGB) or for the account of
the Company by third parties, for the purpose of implementing an
employee stock ownership program to issue shares to employees and
