Form 20-F Jumia Technologies AG For: Dec 31

Exhibit 2.3

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description of the capital stock of Jumia Technologies AG (“us,” “our,” “we” or the “Company”) is a summary of the rights of our ordinary shares and certain provisions of our articles of association in effect as of March 12, 2021. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of association previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 20-F of which this Exhibit 2.4 is a part, as well as to the applicable provisions of German legislation on stock corporations. We encourage you to read our articles of association and applicable German legislation on stock corporations carefully.

Share Capital

As of March 12, 2021, our share capital as registered in the commercial register amounts to €179,259,246.00, which is divided into 179,259,246 ordinary bearer shares (Inhaberaktien). All shares are shares with no par value (Stückaktien ohne Nennbetrag) with a notional amount attributable to each ordinary share of €1.00.

General Information on Capital Measures

Pursuant to our articles of association, an increase of our share capital generally requires a resolution passed at our shareholders’ meeting with both a simple majority of the share capital represented at the relevant shareholders’ meeting (three-quarters if the resolution excludes shareholders’ preemptive rights) and a simple majority of the votes cast.

The shareholders at such meeting may authorize our management board to increase our share capital with the consent of our supervisory board within a period of five years by issuing shares for a certain total amount, which we refer to as authorized capital (genehmigtes Kapital) and is a concept under German law that enables us to issue shares without going through the process of obtaining another shareholders’ resolution. The aggregate nominal amount of the authorized capital created by the shareholders may not exceed one-half of the share capital existing at the time of registration of the authorized capital with the commercial register. The resolution requires an affirmative vote of three quarters of the share capital represented at the shareholders’ meeting and a simple majority of the votes cast.

Furthermore, our shareholders may resolve to amend or create conditional capital (bedingtes Kapital). However, they may do so only to issue conversion or subscription rights to holders of convertible bonds, in preparation for a merger with another company or to issue subscription rights to employees and members of the management of our company or of an affiliated company by way of a consent or authorization resolution. The same voting requirement as for the creation of authorized capital apply. According to German law, the aggregate nominal amount of the conditional capital created at the shareholders’ meeting may not exceed one-half of the share capital existing at the time the resolution is adopted. The aggregate nominal amount of the conditional capital created for the purpose of granting subscription rights to employees and members of the management of our company or of an affiliated company may not exceed 10% of the share capital existing at the time the resolution is adopted.

Shareholders may also resolve to increase the share capital from own resources (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) by converting capital reserves and profit reserves into registered share capital. Pursuant to our articles of association, any resolution pertaining to an increase in share capital from own resources (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) requires the vote of a simple majority of the share capital represented at the relevant shareholders’ meeting and a simple majority of the votes cast.

All shares issued by the Company are fully paid in (meaning that shareholders are not liable to the Company to pay in any further amount in relation to their existing shares). Any resolution relating to a reduction of our share capital requires the vote of at least three-quarters of the share capital represented at the relevant shareholders’ meeting as well as a simple majority of the votes cast according to German law.

Authorized Capital

Under the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), a stock corporation’s shareholders’ meeting can authorize the management board to, with the consent of the supervisory board, issue shares in a specified aggregate nominal amount of up to 50% of the issued share capital of such company at the time the resolution becomes effective. The shareholders’ authorization becomes effective upon registration in the commercial register (Handelsregister) and may extend for a period of no more than five years thereafter. Our authorized capital is summarized below.

As of the date of this Annual Report, our articles of association provide for the following authorized capital:

Authorized Capital 2018/I

Pursuant to paragraph 2 of section 4 of our articles of association, the management board is authorized until December 16, 2023 to increase, once or repeatedly and each time with the consent of the supervisory board, our share capital by up to a total amount of €1,398,006.00 through the issuance of up to 1,398,006 new no-par value bearer shares against contributions in cash and/or in kind, including claims against us (the “Authorized Capital 2018/I”). The subscriptions rights of the shareholders are excluded. The Authorized Capital 2018/I serves to fulfill acquisition rights (option rights) that have been granted by us (or our legal predecessors), prior to our conversion into a German stock corporation, to current and/or former managing directors and/or employees of the Company and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries and to service providers, supporters or business partners of the Company and/or its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Authorized Capital 2018/I also serves to issue shares in the Company to holders of shares in direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company, including such shares in direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company which are held in trust by their holders. The shares which will be created from the Authorized Capital 2018/I may only be issued for these purposes. A capital increase may be implemented only to the extent that the holders of option rights exercise their option rights, and as required to issue shares in the Company to holder of shares in direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company, including such shares in direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company which are held in trust by their holders.

The issue amount of the new shares must be at least €1.00 per share and may be paid in cash or in kind, including claims against the Company. The management board, subject to the consent of the supervisory board, is authorized to determine any further details of the capital increase and its implementation, including the period for which the new shares participate in any profit for the first time, which may, in deviation from Section 60(2) of the German Stock Corporation Act, include profit participation for the current fiscal year. To the extent that a member of the management board is entitled under the option rights, such determinations will be made exclusively by the supervisory board. The supervisory board may adjust the wording of the articles of association if the Authorized Capital 2018/I is utilized or the authorization expired.

Authorized Capital 2021/I

Pursuant to paragraph 5 of section 4 of our articles of association, the management board is authorized until March 10, 2026 (inclusive) to increase, once or repeatedly and each time with the consent of the supervisory board, the share capital by a total amount of up to €88,231,617.00 through the issuance of up to 88,231,617 new no-par value bearer shares against contributions in cash and/or in kind, including claims against us (“Authorized Capital 2021/I”). In principle, the shareholders are to be granted subscription rights. The shares may also be subscribed for by one or more credit institution(s) or one or several enterprise(s) operating pursuant to sections 53(1) sentence 1, 53b(1) sentence 1 or 53b(7) of the German Banking Act (Gesetz über das Kreditwesen) with the obligation to offer the shares to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 186(5) of the German Stock Corporation Act (so-called indirect subscription right).

The subscription right of the shareholders is excluded for one or more capital increases in the context of the Authorized Capital 2021/I,

In this case, the pro rata amount of the share capital attributable to the new shares issued may not exceed a total of 10% of the share capital of the Company existing at the time the Authorized Capital 2021/I (i) is adopted by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of March 11,

2021, (ii) comes into effect or (iii) is exercised, whichever is the lowest. Towards this limit shall count the pro rata amount of the share capital attributable to any shares that were issued or transferred from authorized capital, conditional capital or from treasury shares to members of the management board of the Company and employees of the Company as well as members of the management and employees of companies affiliated with the Company within the meaning of section 15  of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) or their investment vehicles in the context of participation programs during the term of the Authorized Capital 2021/I.

Further, the management board, with the consent of the supervisory board, is authorized to exclude the subscription rights of the shareholders for one or more capital increases in the context of the Authorized Capital 2021/I,

The management board is authorized, with the consent of the supervisory board, to determine any additional content of the rights attached to the shares and the conditions of the share issue; this includes the determination of the profit participation of the new shares, which may, in deviation from section 60(2) of the German Stock Corporation Act, also participate in the profit of completed fiscal years. The supervisory board is authorized to adjust the wording of our articles of association accordingly following any utilization of the Authorized Capital 2021/I or upon expiry of the period for the utilization of the Authorized Capital 2021/I.

Conditional Capital

As of the date of this Annual Report, our articles of association provide for the following conditional capital:

The Conditional Capital 2019/I may only be used to issue shares of the Company to fulfil the subscription rights for shares in the Company that have been or will be granted to members of our management board and employees as well as members of the management and employees of companies affiliated with us, within the meaning of Sections 15 et seqq. of the German Stock Corporation Act, in the form of stock options in accordance with the authorizing resolution of the shareholders’ meeting held on February 15, 2019.

The Conditional Capital 2020/l may only be used to issue shares of the Company to fulfil the subscription rights for shares in the Company that have been or will be granted to members of the management board of the Company and employees of the Company as well as members of the management and employees of companies affiliated with the Company within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act in the form of stock options in accordance with the authorization of the shareholders’ meeting of June 9, 2020.

The purpose of Conditional Capital 2020/II is to grant shares to holders or creditors of convertible bonds, options, profit rights and/or profit

bonds (or combinations of these instruments) (together “Bonds 2020”) issued on the basis of the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of June 9, 2020 upon the exercise of conversion or option rights or the fulfilment of conversion or option obligations. The new shares are issued based on the conversion or option price to be determined in accordance with the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of June 9, 2020. The conditional capital increase will only be implemented to the extent that the holders or creditors of Bonds 2020, which are issued or guaranteed by the Company, dependent companies or by companies in which the Company owns a majority interest either directly or indirectly by June 8, 2025 based on the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of June 9, 2020, exercise any conversion or option right or fulfill any conversion or option obligation under Bonds 2020, or to the extent the Company grants shares in the Company instead of paying the amount due as well as to the extent the conversion or option rights or the conversion or option obligations are not serviced by treasury shares but rather by shares from authorized capital or other consideration. The new shares have the right to participate in any profits from the beginning of the financial year in which they are created and for all subsequent financial years. The management board is authorized to determine the further details of the implementation of the conditional capital increase. The supervisory board is authorized to amend our articles of association accordingly after any utilization of the Conditional Capital 2020/II and upon expiration of all option or conversion periods.

Conditional Capital 2021/I

The extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of March 11, 2021 adopted a resolution to cancel the existing Conditional Capital 2020/II and replace it with a new Conditional Capital 2021/I. The Company will apply to the competent local court of Charlottenburg for the registration of this resolution in the commercial register. Prior to registration, no new shares may be issued under Conditional Capital 2021/I. Conditional Capital 2021/I has the following terms:

Pursuant to paragraph 4 of section 4 of our articles of association, our share capital is conditionally increased by up to €77,236,747.00 through issuance of up to 77,236,747 new no-par value bearer shares (“Conditional Capital 2021/I”). The purpose of Conditional Capital 2021/I is to grant shares to holders or creditors of convertible bonds, options, profit rights and/or profit bonds (or combinations of these instruments) (together “Bonds 2021”) issued on the basis of the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of March 11, 2021 upon the exercise of conversion or option rights or the fulfilment of conversion or option obligations. The new shares are issued based on the conversion or option price to be determined in accordance with the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of March 11, 2021. The conditional capital increase will only be implemented to the extent that the holders or creditors of Bonds 2021, which are issued or guaranteed by the Company, dependent companies or by companies in which the Company owns a majority interest either directly or indirectly by March 10, 2026 based on the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of March 11, 2021, exercise any conversion or option right or fulfill any conversion or option obligation under Bonds 2021, or to the extent the Company grants shares in the Company instead of paying the amount due as well as to the extent the conversion or option rights or the conversion or option obligations are not serviced by treasury shares but rather by shares from authorized capital or other consideration. The new shares have the right to participate in any profits from the beginning of the financial year in which they are created and for all subsequent financial years. The management board is authorized to determine the further details of the implementation of the conditional capital increase. The supervisory board

is authorized to amend our articles of association accordingly after any utilization of the Conditional Capital 2021/I and upon expiration of all option or conversion periods.

Subscription Rights

According to the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), every shareholder is generally entitled to subscription rights (commonly known as preemptive rights) to any new shares issued within the framework of a capital increase, including convertible bonds, bonds with warrants, profit sharing rights or income bonds in proportion to the number of shares the respective shareholder holds in the corporation’s existing share capital. Under German law, these rights do not apply to shares issued out of conditional capital. A minimum subscription period of two weeks must be provided for the exercise of such subscription rights.

Under German law, the shareholders’ meeting may pass a resolution excluding subscription rights if at least three-quarters of the share capital represented adopts the resolution. To exclude subscription rights, the management board must also make a report available to the shareholders justifying the exclusion and demonstrating that the company’s interest in excluding the subscription rights outweighs the shareholders’ interest in having them. Such justification may be subject to judicial review. Accordingly, under German law, the exclusion of subscription rights upon the issuance of new shares is permitted, in particular, if we increase the share capital against cash contributions, if the amount of the capital increase does not exceed 10% of the existing share capital and the issue price of the new shares is not significantly lower than the market price of our shares (for this purpose, the market price may also be considered the market price of an ADS listed on the NYSE divided by the number of our shares or the fraction of one of our shares represented by an ADS, as the case may be).

The authorization of the management board to issue convertible bonds or other securities convertible into shares must be limited to a period not exceeding five years as of the respective shareholder resolution.

Form, Certification and Transferability of the Shares

The form and contents of our global share certificates, any dividend certificates, renewal certificates and interest coupons are determined by our management board with the approval of our supervisory board. A shareholder’s right to certificated shares is excluded, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent that certification is not required by the stock exchange on which the shares are admitted to trading. We are permitted to issue global share certificates that represent one or more shares.

All of our outstanding shares are bearer shares with no par value (auf den Inhaber lautende Stückaktien ohne Nennbetrag). Any resolution regarding a capital increase may determine the profit participation of the new shares resulting from such capital increase.

Our shares are freely transferable under German law, with the transfer of ownership governed by the rules of the relevant clearing system.

Our articles of association do not include any provisions that would have a direct effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control. However, in the event of a hostile takeover,

we could use our authorized capital to increase our share capital to issue new shares to an investor at a premium. See “—Authorized Capital.” An increase in the number of shares outstanding could have a negative effect on a party’s ability to carry out a hostile takeover.

Shareholders’ Meetings, Resolutions and Voting Rights

Pursuant to our articles of association, shareholders’ meetings may be held at our registered seat or at the place of a German stock exchange. In general, shareholders’ meetings are convened by our management board.

The supervisory board is additionally required to convene a shareholders’ meeting in cases where this is required under binding statutory law (i.e., if this is in the best interest of our company). In addition, shareholders who, individually or as a group, own at least 5% of our share capital may request that our management board convene a shareholders’ meeting. If our management board does not convene a shareholders’ meeting upon such a request, the shareholders may petition the competent German court for authorization to convene a shareholders’ meeting.

Pursuant to our articles of association, the convening notice for a shareholders’ meeting must be made public at least 36 days prior to the meeting. However, a legislative act that was adopted by the German legislator on March 27, 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and which stipulates several temporary exemptions from certain statutory rules (Gesetz zur Abmilderung der Folgen der COVID-19-Pandemie im Zivil-, Insolvenz- und Strafverfahrensrecht), as amended (the “COVID-19 Act”) allows, in deviation of the relevant rules under the German Stock Corporation Act, for a shortened convocation period of 21 days for the shareholders’ meeting of a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) based on a decision of the management board in conjunction with the supervisory board’s approval. Shareholders who, individually or as a group, own at least 5% or €500,000 of our share capital may require that modified or additional items be added to the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting. For each new item, an explanation of the requested change must be provided or a voting proposal (Beschlussvorlage). Any request for an amendment of the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting must be received by the Company within 30 days (14 days if the notice period for the shareholders’ meeting is shortened in accordance with the COVID-19 Act) prior to the meeting. The Company must publish any requests for the amendment of the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting immediately. Under German law, our annual general shareholders’ meeting must take place within the first eight months of each fiscal year. Under the COVID-19 Act, the management board, with the consent of the supervisory board, may decide that the annual general shareholder’s meeting shall take place later in the relevant fiscal year.

Among other things, the general shareholders’ meeting is required to decide on the following issues:

Each ordinary share grants one vote in a shareholders’ meeting. Voting rights may be exercised by authorized proxies, which may be appointed by the Company (Stimmrechtsvertreter). The granting of a power of attorney must be made in text form. Generally, the shareholder or an authorized proxy must be present at the shareholders’ meeting to cast a vote. However, under the Company’s articles of association, the management board may determine in the invitation to the shareholders’ meeting that shareholders may submit their votes in writing or by means of electronic communication without attending the shareholders’ meeting in person (absentee vote) or that shareholders may participate in the shareholders’ meeting in total or in part via electronic communication without attending the shareholders’ meeting in person (online participation). Under the COVID-19 Act, the management board, with the consent of the supervisory board, may hold a virtual shareholders’ meeting without the physical presence of shareholders or their representatives, if (1) there is an audio and video broadcast of the meeting, (2) shareholders may exercise their voting rights through electronic means (absentee vote or online participation) or by giving power of attorney, (3) shareholders may ask questions by way of electronic communication (which may be limited to questions submitted no later than two days prior to the meeting) and (4) shareholders who have exercised their voting rights are given the right to contest any resolution adopted at the meeting via electronic communication.

Our articles of association provide in Section 18 that the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting be adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast. To the extent required by law, certain resolutions may have to be approved by a simple majority of the share capital represented at the meeting, in addition to the majority of the votes cast.

Neither German law nor our articles of association provide for a minimum participation requirement to form a quorum at our shareholders’ meetings.

Under German law, certain resolutions of fundamental importance require the vote of at least three-quarters of the share capital present or represented in the voting at the time of adoption of the resolution. Resolutions of fundamental importance include, in particular, capital increases with exclusion of subscription rights, capital decreases, the creation of authorized or conditional share capital, the dissolution of a company, a merger into or with another company, split-offs and split-ups, the conclusion of inter-company agreements (Unternehmensverträge) as defined in the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (in particular domination agreements (Beherrschungsverträge) and profit and loss transfer agreements (Ergebnisabführungsverträge) or a combination thereof), and a change of the company’s purpose or legal form.

​

Dividends

Under German law, distributions of dividends on shares for a given fiscal year are generally determined by a process in which the management board and supervisory board submit a proposal to our annual general shareholders’ meeting held in the subsequent fiscal year and such annual general shareholders’ meeting adopts a resolution.

German law provides that a resolution concerning dividends and distribution thereof may be adopted only if the company’s unconsolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with German law show net retained profits. In determining the profit available for distribution, the result for the relevant year must be adjusted for profits and losses brought forward from the previous year and for withdrawals from or transfers to reserves. Certain reserves are required by law and must be deducted when calculating the profit available for distribution.

Shareholders participate in profit distributions in proportion to the number of shares they hold. Dividends on shares resolved by the general shareholders’ meeting are paid annually, shortly after the general shareholders’ meeting, in compliance with the rules of the respective clearing system. Dividend payment claims are subject to a three-year statute of limitation in the company’s favor.

Liquidation Rights

Apart from liquidation as a result of insolvency proceedings, we may be liquidated only with a vote of the holders of at least three-quarters of the share capital represented at the shareholders’ meeting at which such a vote is taken. If we are liquidated, any assets remaining after all of our liabilities have been paid off would be distributed among our shareholders in proportion to their holdings in accordance with German statutory law. The German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) provides certain protections for creditors which must be observed in the event of liquidation.

Authorization to Acquire Our Own Shares

We may not acquire our own shares unless authorized by the shareholders’ meeting or in other very limited circumstances as set out in the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz). Shareholders may not grant a share repurchase authorization lasting for more than five years. The German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) generally limits repurchases to 10% of our share capital and resales must generally be made either on a stock exchange, in a manner that treats all shareholders equally, or in accordance with the rules that apply to subscription rights relating to a capital increase.

The shareholders’ meeting adopted a resolution on February 15, 2019 authorizing the management board, for a period until February 14, 2024, subject to the consent of the supervisory board and provided it complies with the legal requirement of equal treatment, to purchase our shares in an amount up to 10% of the lower of our total share capital existing on February 28, 2019 or our total share capital existing at the time the authorization is exercised. At the discretion of the management board, such purchase may be effected on the stock market or by means of a public offer or a public solicitation to submit sales offers.

The management board is generally authorized to use treasury shares for all legally permissible purposes.

Squeeze-Out of Minority Shareholders

Under German law, the shareholders’ meeting of a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) may resolve upon request of a shareholder that holds at least 95% of the share capital that the shares held by any remaining minority shareholders be transferred to this shareholder against payment of “adequate cash compensation” (Ausschluss von Minderheitsaktionären). This amount must take into account the full value of the company at the time of the resolution, which is generally determined using the future earnings value method (Ertragswertmethode).

A squeeze-out in the context of a merger (umwandlungsrechtlicher Squeeze-Out) only requires a majority shareholder to hold at least 90% of the share capital.

Shareholder Notification Requirements

In accordance with the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), an enterprise has to inform a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) without undue delay and in writing when its shares held in the share capital exceed or fall below 25% and/or 50%, respectively, in the capital or voting rights. Following receipt of the written notification, the corporation has to publish this information without undue delay in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger).

DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

American Depositary Shares

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, will register and deliver ADSs. Each ADS will represent two ordinary shares (or a right to receive two ordinary shares) deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, as custodian for the depositary. Each ADS will also represent any other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the depositary. The deposited shares together with any other securities, cash or other property held by the depositary are referred to as the deposited securities. The depositary’s office at which the ADSs will be administered and its principal executive office are located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10286.

You may hold ADSs either (a) directly (i) by having an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”), which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in your name, or (ii) by having uncertificated ADSs registered in your name, or (b) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in ADSs through your broker or other financial institution that is a direct or indirect participant in The Depository Trust Company, also called DTC. If you hold ADSs directly, you are a registered ADS holder (“ADS holder”). If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution for more information regarding those products. Registered holders of uncertificated ADSs will receive statements from the depositary confirming their holdings.

As an ADS holder, we will not treat you as one of our shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. German law governs shareholder rights. The depositary will be the holder of

the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. As a registered holder of ADSs, you will have ADS holder rights. A deposit agreement among us, the depositary, ADS holders and all other persons indirectly or beneficially holding ADSs sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and the ADSs.

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the deposit agreement. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR, which are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Dividends and Other Distributions

How will you receive dividends and other distributions on the shares?

The depositary has agreed to pay or distribute to ADS holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on ordinary shares or other deposited securities, upon payment or deduction of its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of shares your ADSs represent.

Cash. The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on our ordinary shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those ADS holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest.

Before making a distribution, any withholding taxes, or other governmental charges that must be paid will be deducted. See “Taxation.” The depositary will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some of the value of the distribution.

Shares. The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any ordinary shares we distribute as a dividend or free distribution. The depositary will only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell ordinary shares which would require it to deliver a fraction of an ADS (or ADSs representing those shares) and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not distribute additional ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also represent the new shares. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed ordinary shares (or ADSs representing those shares) sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

Rights to purchase additional shares. If we offer holders of our securities any rights to subscribe for additional ordinary shares or any other rights, the depositary may (i) exercise those rights on behalf of ADS holders, (ii) distribute those rights to ADS holders or (iii) sell those rights and distribute the net proceeds to ADS holders, in each case after deduction or upon payment of its fees and expenses. To the extent the depositary does not do any of those things, it will allow the rights to lapse. In that case, you will receive no value for them. The depositary will exercise or distribute rights only if we ask it to and provide satisfactory assurances to the depositary that it is

legal to do so. If the depositary will exercise rights, it will purchase the securities to which the rights relate and distribute those securities or, in the case of shares, new ADSs representing the new shares, to subscribing ADS holders, but only if ADS holders have paid the exercise price to the depositary. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute rights or ADSs or other securities issued on exercise of rights to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to restrictions on transfer.

There can be no assurance that you will be given the opportunity to exercise rights on the same terms and conditions as the holders of our ordinary shares or be able to exercise such rights at all.

Other Distributions. The depositary will send to ADS holders anything else we distribute on deposited securities by any means it thinks is legal, equitable and practical. If it cannot make the distribution in that way, the depositary has a choice. It may decide to sell what we distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash. Or, it may decide to hold what we distributed, in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property. However, the depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than ADSs) to ADS holders unless it receives satisfactory evidence from us that it is legal to make that distribution. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute securities to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to restrictions on transfer.

The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

How are ADSs issued?

The depositary will deliver ADSs if you or your broker deposits shares or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will register the appropriate number of ADSs in the names you request and will deliver the ADSs to or upon the order of the person or persons that made the deposit.

How can ADS holders withdraw the deposited securities?

You may surrender your ADSs to the depositary for the purpose of withdrawal. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will deliver the ordinary shares and any other deposited securities underlying the ADSs to the ADS holder or a person the ADS holder designates at the office of the custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the deposited securities at its office, if feasible. The depositary may charge you a fee and its expenses for instructing the

custodian regarding delivery of deposited securities. Under certain circumstances, the right to surrender ADSs and withdraw deposited securities may be suspended temporarily.

How do ADS holders interchange between certificated ADSs and uncertificated ADSs?

You may surrender your ADR to the depositary for the purpose of exchanging your ADR for uncertificated ADSs. The depositary will cancel that ADR and will send to the ADS holder a statement confirming that the ADS holder is the registered holder of uncertificated ADSs. Upon receipt by the depositary of a proper instruction from a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs requesting the exchange of uncertificated ADSs for certificated ADSs, the depositary will execute and deliver to the ADS holder an ADR evidencing those ADSs.

Voting Rights

How do you vote?

ADS holders may instruct the depositary how to vote the number of deposited ordinary shares their ADSs represent at any meeting at which you are entitled to vote pursuant to applicable law and our articles of association. Upon receipt of notice of any shareholders’ meeting, the depositary will notify you of such shareholders’ meeting and send or make voting materials available to you. Those materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how ADS holders may instruct the depositary how to vote. For instructions to be valid, they must reach the depositary by a date set by the depositary. The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the laws of Germany and the provisions of our articles of association or similar documents, to vote or to have its agents vote the ordinary shares or other deposited securities as instructed by ADS holders. If we do not request the depositary to solicit your voting instructions, you can still send voting instructions, and, in that case, the depositary may try to vote as you instruct, but it is not required to do so.

Except by instructing the depositary as described above, you will not be able to exercise voting rights unless you surrender your ADSs and withdraw the ordinary shares. However, you may not know about the meeting enough in advance to withdraw the ordinary shares. In any event, the depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting deposited securities and it will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed.

We cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your ordinary shares. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise voting rights and there may be nothing you can do if your ordinary shares are not voted as you requested.

In order to give you a reasonable opportunity to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Deposited Securities, if we request the depositary to act, we agree to give the depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 40 days in advance of the meeting date.

The depositary will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote or exercise any voting discretion, other than in accordance with such instructions received or deemed to have been received from any ADS holder.

If we asked the depositary to solicit your instructions at least 40 days before the meeting date but the depositary does not receive voting instructions from you by the specified date, and we confirm to the depositary that:

then the depositary will consider you to have authorized and directed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us to vote the number of deposited securities represented by your ADSs as to that question.

​

Fees and Expenses

The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing ordinary shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may collect any of its fees by

deduction from any cash distribution payable (or by selling a portion of securities or other property distributable) to ADS holders that are obligated to pay those fees. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

From time to time, the depositary may make payments to us to reimburse us for costs and expenses generally arising out of establishment and maintenance of the ADS program, waive fees and expenses for services provided to us by the depositary or share revenue from the fees collected from ADS holders. In performing its duties under the deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers, foreign currency dealers or other service providers that are owned by or affiliated with the depositary and that may earn or share fees, spreads or commissions.

The depositary may convert currency itself or through any of its affiliates and, in those cases, acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made under the deposit agreement and the rate that the depositary or its affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The depositary makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained in any currency conversion under the deposit agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to ADS holders, subject to the depositary’s obligations under the deposit agreement. The methodology used to determine exchange rates used in currency conversions is available upon request.

Payment of Taxes

You will be responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of your ADSs. The depositary may refuse to register any transfer of your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your ADSs until those taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities represented by your ADSs to pay any taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.

Tender and Exchange Offers; Redemption, Replacement or Cancellation of Deposited Securities

The depositary will not tender deposited securities in any voluntary tender or exchange offer unless instructed to do by an ADS holder surrendering ADSs and subject to any conditions or procedures the depositary may establish. If deposited securities are redeemed for cash in a transaction that is mandatory for the depositary as a holder of deposited securities, the depositary will call for surrender of a corresponding number of ADSs and distribute the net redemption money to the holders of called ADSs upon surrender of those ADSs. If there is any change in the deposited securities such as a subdivision, combination or other reclassification, or any merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization affecting the issuer of deposited securities in which the depositary receives new securities in exchange for or in lieu of the old deposited

securities, the depositary will hold those replacement securities as deposited securities under the deposit agreement. However, if the depositary decides it would not be lawful to hold the replacement securities because those securities could not be distributed to ADS holders or for any other reason, the depositary may instead sell the replacement securities and distribute the net proceeds upon surrender of the ADSs.

If there is a replacement of the deposited securities and the depositary will continue to hold the replacement securities, the depositary may distribute new ADSs representing the new deposited securities or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited securities.

If there are no deposited securities underlying ADSs, including if the deposited securities are cancelled, or if the deposited securities underlying ADSs have become apparently worthless, the depositary may call for surrender of those ADSs or cancel those ADSs upon notice to the ADS holders.

Amendment and Termination

How may the deposit agreement be amended?

We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADRs without your consent for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary notifies ADS holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the deposit agreement as amended.

How may the deposit agreement be terminated?

The depositary will initiate termination of the deposit agreement if we instruct it to do so. The depositary may initiate termination of the deposit agreement if:

If the deposit agreement will terminate, the depositary will notify ADS holders at least 90 days before the termination date. At any time after the termination date, the depositary may sell the deposited securities. After that, the depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs. Normally, the depositary will sell as soon as practicable after the termination date.

After the termination date and before the depositary sells, ADS holders can still surrender their ADSs and receive delivery of deposited securities, except that the depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing deposited securities if it would interfere with the selling process. The depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing sale proceeds until all the deposited securities have been sold. The depositary will continue to collect distributions on deposited securities, but, after the termination date, the depositary is not required to register any transfer of ADSs or distribute any dividends or other distributions on deposited securities to the ADSs holder (until they surrender their ADSs) or give any notices or perform any other duties under the deposit agreement except as described in this paragraph.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability

Limits on our Obligations and the Obligations of the Depositary; Limits on Liability to Holders of ADSs

The deposit agreement expressly limits our obligations and the obligations of the depositary. It also limits our liability and the liability of the depositary. We and the depositary:

In the deposit agreement, we and the depositary agree to indemnify each other under certain circumstances.

Requirements for Depositary Actions

Before the depositary will deliver or register a transfer of ADSs, make a distribution on ADSs, or permit withdrawal of ordinary shares, the depositary may require:

The depositary may refuse to deliver ADSs or register transfers of ADSs when the transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books are closed or at any time if the depositary or we think it advisable to do so.

Your Right to Receive the Shares Underlying your ADSs

ADS holders have the right to cancel their ADSs and withdraw the underlying ordinary shares at any time except:

This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the deposit agreement.

​

Direct Registration System

In the deposit agreement, all parties to the deposit agreement acknowledge that the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) and Profile Modification System (“Profile”) will apply to the ADSs. DRS is a system administered by DTC that facilitates interchange between registered holding of uncertificated ADSs and holding of security entitlements in ADSs through DTC and a DTC participant. Profile is a feature of DRS that allows a DTC participant, claiming to act on behalf of a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs, to direct the depositary to register a transfer of those ADSs to DTC or its nominee and to deliver those ADSs to the DTC account of that DTC participant without receipt by the depositary of prior authorization from the ADS holder to register that transfer.

In connection with and in accordance with the arrangements and procedures relating to DRS/Profile, the parties to the deposit agreement understand that the depositary will not determine whether the DTC participant that is claiming to be acting on behalf of an ADS holder in requesting registration of transfer and delivery as described in the paragraph above has the actual authority to act on behalf of the ADS holder (notwithstanding any requirements under the Uniform Commercial Code). In the deposit agreement, the parties agree that the depositary’s reliance on and compliance with instructions received by the depositary through the DRS/Profile system and in accordance with the deposit agreement will not constitute negligence or bad faith on the part of the depositary.

Shareholder Communications; Inspection of Register of Holders of ADSs

The depositary will make available for your inspection at its office all communications that it receives from us as a holder of deposited securities that we make generally available to holders of deposited securities. The depositary will send you copies of those communications or otherwise make those communications available to you if we ask it to. You have a right to inspect the register of holders of ADSs, but not for the purpose of contacting those holders about a matter unrelated to our business or the ADSs.

Jury Trial Waiver

The deposit agreement provides that, to the extent permitted by law, ADS holders waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us or the depositary arising out of or relating to our shares, the ADSs or the deposit agreement, including any claim under the U.S. federal securities laws. If we or the depositary opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver is enforceable in the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.
