Exceeding the 25% threshold emphasizes the long-term commitment of our shareholder Ludwig Merckle to the company.
2. At present, we do not intend to obtain further voting rights by acquisition or by any other means, within the next 12 months.
3. We do not intend to especially influence the appointment of administration, management and supervisory bodies. As far as the Annual General Meeting is at all responsible, we will influence the appointment of administration, management and supervisory bodies by executing our voting rights. Besides, our shareholder Ludwig Merckle is member of the supervisory board as well as of the personnel committee of the supervisory board of HeidelbergCement AG and in this capacity by executing his voting rights in these committees, he will also influence the appointments of administration, management and supervisory bodies.
4. We do not intend to significantly change the capital structure or the dividend policy of the company.
