Special risks resulting from tax documentation requirements in Germany:

provide documentation to the German fiscal authorities upon request in order to verify the
accuracy of the information on the taxation basis published. The basis upon which such figures
are calculated is subject to interpretation and it cannot be guaranteed that the German fiscal
authorities will accept the Company’s calculation methodology in every material aspect. If
mistakes made in the past are identified, correction of such mistakes will generally not be
effected retroactively but will only be taken into account in the publication for the current
financial year. The correction may positively or negatively affect the Shareholders who receive
a distribution or an attribution of deemed income distributions in the current financial year.
