INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
(Free translation)

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Magyar Telekom Nyrt.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2006 (in which the balance sheet total is HUF 1,131,595 million and the profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company is HUF 75,453 million) the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and the consolidated cash flow statement, for the year then ended and the notes to the financial statements including a summary of the main accounting policies as well as other disclosures.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to assess whether or not the accounting information disclosed in the business report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hungarian and International Standards on Auditing and with applicable laws and regulations in force in Hungary. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

3




circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our work in respect of the business report was limited to checking it within the aforementioned scope and did not include a review of any information other than that drawn from the audited accounting records of the Company.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

During our work we have audited the components and disclosures along with the underlying accounting records and supporting documentation in the consolidated financial statements of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. in accordance with Hungarian and International Standards on Auditing and, on the basis of our audit work, we have gained sufficient and appropriate evidence that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. as of 31 December 2006, and of the results of its operation for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The business report is consistent with the disclosures in the financial statements.

MAGYAR TELEKOM

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN EQUITY (notes)

(a)          The total amount of issued shares of common stock of 1,042,768,215 (each with a nominal value of HUF 100) is fully paid as at December 31, 2006. In addition to these shares, total shareholders’ equity includes one Series “B” preference share at the nominal value of HUF 10,000 at December 31, 2006. This Series “B” share is held by the Ministry of Economics and Transport, and bestows certain rights on its owner, including access to information, and the appointment of a Director. This share may only be held by the Government or its nominee. A bill has been submitted to the Hungarian Parliament which, if approved, will transform the “B” share into an ordinary share and thus abolish these special rights. The number of authorized ordinary shares on December 31, 2006 is 1,042,768,215.

(b)         Additional paid in capital represents the amount above the nominal value of the shares that was received by the Company during capital increases.

(c)          Treasury stock represents the cost of the Company’s own shares repurchased.

(d)         Cumulative translation adjustment represents the foreign exchange differences arising on the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries

(e)          Revaluation reserve for available for sale financial assets includes the unrealized gains and losses net of tax on available for sale financial assets. Any realized gains or losses are taken out of this reserve and recognized in the income statement (Note 7).

(f)            Reserve for equity settled share based transactions includes the compensation expenses accrued in equity related to share settled compensation programs. When equity instruments are issued or treasury shares are utilized as part of the program, the accumulated balance is taken out of the reserve (Note 24).

(g)         Retained earnings include the accumulated and undistributed net income of the Group. The distributable reserves of the Company under Hungarian law at December 31, 2006 amounted to approximately HUF 294,000 million (HUF 282,000 million at December 31, 2005).

(h)         Minority interests represent the minority shareholders’ share of the net assets of subsidiaries, in which the Group has less than 100% ownership.

(i)             In 2006 Magyar Telekom Plc. declared HUF 73 dividend per share (HUF 70 in 2005, HUF 70 in 2004).

(j)             The dividend declared to minority interests in 2004 and 2005 almost entirely reflects the dividend declared by MakTel, Magyar Telekom’s Macedonian subsidiary, to its minority shareholders. In 2006 MakTel did not declare dividends. The amount of dividend declared in 2006 to minorities includes the amount declared to the minority owners of smaller subsidiaries.

(k)          Business combinations in 2004 include the reduction of minority interest as a result of the purchase of additional shares in Stonebridge and other already consolidated subsidiaries. The increase in 2005 is the result of the acquisition of Crnogorski Telekom (CGT), in which the Group acquired a 76.53% share of ownership (Note 5).

(l)             In 2006 TSH sold one of its business units to another member of Deutsche Telekom group. TSH’s gain on the transaction (HUF 418 million) resulted in an increase of TSH’s net assets, the Group’s share of which (HUF 205 million) was recognized directly in retained earnings.

(m)       In 2005 Magyar Telekom’s CEO and other managers exercised a portion of their share options, and the Company used its treasury shares reserved for the option programs. As a result of these transactions, the Company sold 2,443,341 of its treasury shares to the CEO and other managers at the fixed option prices. On the sale of the treasury shares the Company recognized a gain of HUF 53 million (HUF -143 million recognized against the Reserve for equity settled share based payments and HUF 196 million recognized in Retained earnings). In 2006 managers exercised further options, for which the Company used its treasury shares. As a result of these transactions, the Company sold 538,835 of its treasury shares to the managers at the fixed option prices. On the sale of the treasury shares the Company recognized a gain of HUF 87 million, which was recognized in retained earnings. For more details on the programs see Note 24.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

11




(n)         In 2006 Magyar Telekom Plc. merged with T-Mobile Hungary, its 100% subsidiary. During the merger, the owners of 43,385 shares expressed their intention not to participate as owners in the merged Company. Consequently, the Company withdrew these shares and paid off these owners with a corresponding decrease in share capital, additional paid in capital and retained earnings, and the merged Company was registered with 43,385 less shares.

(o)         In 2006 the Company sold the total of its 72% ownership in Cardnet, which resulted in the reduction of Minority interests (Note 5.4).

(p)         In 2006 MakTel repurchased 10% of its shares from the Government of Macedonia during a public tender issued for the sale of the Government shares. As a result of this transaction, Magyar Telekom’s share of ownership increased from 51% to 56.67% resulting in a decrease in the minority interest in MakTel and T-Mobile MK (Note 5.1.5).

(q)         On December 5, 2006, Elek Straub, the former CEO and Chairman of the Company resigned. As part of the resignation agreement, Mr. Straub exercised 1,181,178 of his share options, of which 487,465 would only have vested on July 1, 2007, which was accelerated. The full transaction was settled in cash instead of shares as intended by the original agreement. By December 31, 2006 the Company has accumulated HUF 155 million (including HUF 7 million for pre-mature vesting) in a Reserve for equity settled share based transactions, of which HUF 106 million was released. The closing balance of this reserve of HUF 49 million represents the amount reserved for the 103,530 options (granted in 2000) Mr. Straub still has open (Note 24).

Together with the approval of these financial statements for issue, the Board of the Company proposes a HUF 70 per share dividend distribution to be approved by the Annual General Meeting of the Company in April 2007.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

(Free translation)

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Magyar Telekom Nyrt.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. (“the Company”) which comprise the balance sheet as of 31 December 2006 (in which the balance sheet total is HUF 965,862 million, the profit per balance sheet is HUF 88,399 million, the related profit and loss account for the year then ended, and the notes to financial statement including a summary of the main accounting policies as other disclosures.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Act and accounting principles generally accepted in Hungary. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit and to assess whether or not the accounting information disclosed in the business report is consistent with that contained in the financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hungarian and International Standards on Auditing and with applicable laws and regulations and force in Hungary. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the

23




entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our work in respect of the business report was limited to checking it in within the aforementioned scope and did not include a review of any information other than that drawn from the audited accounting records of the Company.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

During our work we have audited the components and disclosures along with the underlying accounting records and supporting documentation in the financial statements of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. in accordance with the Hungarian and International Standards on auditing and, on the basis of our audit work, we have gained sufficient and appropriate evidence that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provision of the accounting law and with accounting principles generally accepted in Hungary. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. as of 31 December 2006, and of the results of its operations for the year then ended. The business report is consistent with the disclosures in the financial statements.

Without qualifying our opinion we draw your attention to the fact that the attached financial statements have been prepared for the consideration of the shareholders as the forthcoming General Meeting and, as such, do no reflect the effects, if any, of resolutions that might be adopted at that meeting.

Appendix to the resolution proposal Nr. 3.

Management Report of Magyar Telekom for the business year 2006

Magyar Telekom Plc. is a limited liability stock corporation, organized under the Act IV of 2006 on Business Associations and registered with the Court of Registration in Budapest under the entry number 01-10-041928. The purpose of the Company is identified in paragraph 1.6 of the Articles of Association as follows: the Company is authorized to provide public telephone services within the entire territory of the Republic of Hungary, along with certain closely related auxiliary services.

Corporate Governance

Magyar Telekom as public limited company has four separate bodies that play significant role: the general meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee. Their roles are defined by law and by the Company’s Articles of Association and may be described generally as follows:

General Meeting of the Shareholders

The supreme decision making body of the Company is the general meeting of shareholders. A general meeting is convened as frequently as set forth in the Articles of Association, but no less than once a year. The Board of Directors must call an annual general meeting to approve the audited statutory financial statements for the prior year. At the Annual General Meeting the shareholders approve the Management Report and also elect their representatives to the Supervisory Board, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, resolve the appropriation of distributable balance sheet profit, and if necessary approve the rules of procedure of Supervisory Board. In addition, the corporation’s external auditor is appointed by a shareholders’ resolution based on a proposal of the Audit Committee.

If required, extraordinary general meetings may be held at any time. Shareholders holding at least five percent of the outstanding shares may require the Board of Directors to hold an extraordinary general meeting. Under certain circumstances the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Board and the Court of Registry also have the right to call an extraordinary general meeting.

The Board of Directors must call a general meeting within eight days to take necessary measures when:

·             due to losses, the equity of the company has decreased to less than two-thirds of the share capital;

·             the equity of the Company has decreased to less than HUF 20 million;

·             the Company has stopped servicing its debts and its assets are not sufficient to repay its debts;

·             the number of members of the Board of Directors falls below six;

·             the number of members of the Supervisory Board falls below six;

·             the number of members of the Audit Committee falls below three;

22




·             the auditor and the Board of Directors fail to conclude the assignment contract regarding the auditing activities within 90 days upon the date of the GM that elects the auditor or

·             upon the request of holder of the Series “B” Share.

Typically, the Board of Directors calls general meetings. To call a general meeting, the Board of Directors must publish a notice of the meeting and an agenda at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting in the official journal of the Budapest Stock Exchange and on the website of the BSE and of the Company. The Company must notify each director, the Supervisory Board and the auditor that a general meeting has been called within eight days following publication of such notice.

A general meeting meets a quorum if shareholders representing more than half of the voting shares are present in person or by proxy. If an agenda item requires an affirmative vote of a holder of the Series “B” Share, for a quorum, the holder of the Series “B” Share must also be present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

If the general meeting does not have a quorum, it will be reconvened on the same day. A reconvened general meeting will have a quorum for those matters on the original agenda, regardless of the number of shareholders present, except for matters requiring the holder of the Series “B” Share to be present.

The general meeting of the shareholders has the sole right to:

1.                   approve and amend the Articles of Association unless otherwise provided by law;

2.                   increase (except for the cases falling into the scope of authority of the Board of Directors) or decrease the Company’s registered capital unless otherwise provided by law;

3.                   amend the rights attached to a series of shares or change their class;

4.                   merge, consolidate, separate, terminate, dissolve, liquidate or transform the Company into another form of association;

5.                   decide on the approval of a public offer on own shares;

6.                   decide on issuing convertible or subscription right bonds unless otherwise provided by   law;

7.                   to elect, remove and determine the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors;

8.                   elect, remove and determine the remuneration of the Auditor of the Company and to define the contents of the essential elements of the contract to be concluded with the auditor;

9.                   approve the financial statements, the management report and to decide on the utilization of after tax earnings;

10.             approve changes in the Company’s registered scope of activities;

11.             designate persons entitled to subscribe for new shares in a closed subscription;

23




12.             alter the number or nominal value of the Series “B” Share and the rights attached to the Series “B” Share;

13.             approve listing of the Company’s shares on a stock exchange;

The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the executive body of the Company and represents the Company in dealings with third parties, courts of law and other authorities. The Board of Directors exercises its rights and performs its duties as an independent body.

The Board of Directors comprises a minimum of six and a maximum of eleven members. The members of the Board of Directors are elected for a term of three years from the date of the annual general meeting until May 31 of the third year subsequent to the date of the said general meeting, with the exception that if the general meeting in the third year is held prior to May 31 than their assignment lasts until the date of such general meeting. Members of the Board of Directors may be removed or re-elected by the general meeting at any time. The Board of Directors carries out its activity in accordance with rules of procedure established by the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of applicable law and the Articles of Association.

The member of the Board of Directors must act with the due care that can be generally expected from persons in such a position and shall be held liable, in accordance with provisions of general rules of civil law, for damages to the Company caused by their failure to carry out their tasks in the best interest of the

24




Company. If the damage was caused by the resolution of the management as a body, those members are exempted from such liabilities who did not participate in the voting or voted against the resolution in question. The members of the Board of Directors shall bear unlimited, joint and several liability for all and any damage resulting from untruthfulness of any data, right or fact entered into the share register or any damage resulting from a late or non-existing entry.

The Board of Directors of Magyar Telekom however, is not a management body. In other words, it does not conduct the daily operations of the Company. It has the authority to deal with all matters not reserved for the general meeting. Amongst other things, it approves the Company’s strategy and business plan, organizational restructuring actions of major impact, as well as the conclusion of major transactions, employs and dismisses the CEO and other Chief Officers, defines their remuneration, sets the targets for top management and evaluates their performance.

The Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board oversees management of the Company. It may request information from executive officers or managerial employees of the Company and may inspect books and documents of the Company. Supervisory Board members shall bear unlimited, joint and several liability for damages caused to the Company due to violation of their supervisory obligations.

The Supervisory Board comprises a minimum of three and a maximum of 15 members. It acts as an independent body, elects a chairman from among its members, and passes its resolutions by simple majority. At present Magyar Telekom’s Supervisory Board consists of twelve members. Its members shall be elected by the general meeting of shareholders for a period of three years. It may assign certain supervisory tasks to any of its members or may delegate supervisory tasks among its members on a permanent basis. The members must act in person, not through a representative. No members of the Supervisory Board may receive any instruction from his or her employer or from shareholders as to fulfillment of their duty and obligations as Supervisory Board members. The Supervisory Board carries out its activities in accordance with rules of procedure established by the Supervisory Board, which are approved by the general meeting of shareholders.

According to the legal regulations the Supervisory Board of Magyar Telekom is subject to the principle of employee participation in the supervisory of the Company’s operation. Under the Companies Act, the Supervisory Board may include representatives of the shareholders and representatives of the employees as well as independent members. The employees have the right under the Companies Act to elect one-third of the Supervisory Board members.

Although it is not permitted to make management decisions, the Supervisory Board has comprehensive monitoring functions, including advising the general meeting on a regular basis in decisions of fundamental importance to the company by virtue of preliminary analysis of core business reports and other submissions on the agenda of the general meeting within the exclusive scope of authority of the general meeting. To ensure that these monitoring functions are carried out properly, the Board of Directors must, among other things, regularly report to the Supervisory Board on the management, the financial status and business policy of the Company. The Supervisory Board may also request special reports from the Board of Directors or any senior employee at any time. The Supervisory Board has a significant role in ensuring the operation and the reporting of the internal audit branch of the Company. The Audit Committee helps the work of the Supervisory Board.

25




The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is a permanent committee beside the Supervisory Board.

The GM elects a 3-5 member Audit Committee from the independent members of the SB for the same durance as the membership of the relevant members in the SB according to the Articles of Association. The Audit Committee acts within its scope of authorities provided in the Act on Business Associations and the Articles of Associations as well as the rules of the Budapest Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange and the regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee among other things oversees the work of the Company’s independent auditor, evaluates the operation of the financial reporting system and reviews the efficiency of the internal audit function.

Voting Rights and Voting

Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote. Only shareholders or their proxies registered in the shareholders’ register six business days prior to a general meeting may cast a vote. The Series “B” Share has special voting rights as described below. The matters listed in clauses 1. to 6. and 11. to 15. above, any decision overriding a resolution of the Board of Directors and preemptive shareholder rights in the event of a capital increase, all require a three-quarter majority of votes cast by the shareholders present or represented at the general meeting. All other matters submitted to a general meeting require only a simple majority vote.

There is no limitation on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the ordinary shares.

Series “B” Share

The Hungarian government owns the Series “B” Share. Only the Minister or his legal successor may exercise rights attached to the Series “B” Share. Except as described below, the Series “B” Share has the same rights as the ordinary shares. The holder of the Series “B” Share is entitled:

1.            to nominate one member of the Board of Directors and one member of the Supervisory Board and effectively to elect, remove or replace these members;

2.            if the Company’s registered capital is increased, a new class of shares is issued or the rights attached to a particular class of shares change, to require the Articles of Association to be amended so that the voting rights of the Series “B” Share will be sufficient to nominate, elect or remove the Series “B” director or Supervisory Board member;

3.            to inspect the shareholders’ register and the books maintained by a depository of the Company’s shares approved by the Company and to request copies of the register or books;

4.            if the Company dissolves without a successor company, to purchase all or part of the Company’s assets, including shares of subsidiaries or affiliates, for a price equal to the appraised fair market value of such assets;

26




5.          to request from the Board of Directors detailed information about a material fact significantly affecting the Company’s financial position; and

6.            to request that the Company audit or investigate any issue or prepare reports or provide information on issues within the scope of activities of the Company’s auditor or the Supervisory Board pursuant to law or the Articles of Association.

The holder of the Series “B” Share must be present, in person or by proxy, for a quorum, and its    approval is required to pass shareholders’ resolutions related to any:

1.            increase and decrease of the Company’s registered capital;

2.            change of rights attached to any class of shares, including any amendment to the rights of the Series “B” Share or the creation of a new class of shares with rights superior or equal to the rights or adversely affecting the rights of the Series “B” Share, or any amendment to the rights attached to any existing class of shares that would grant them rights superior or equal to the rights attached to the Series “B” Share;

3.            merger into or consolidation with another business entity, de-merger, transformation into another form of business association and termination of the Company without a legal successor;

4.            transfer, creation or encumbrance of a valuable right that enables the Company to operate according to the Universal Telecommunications Service Contract;

5.            election or removal of the Series “B” director or Supervisory Board member;

6.            conversion of a type of shares;

7.            transfer of all or a substantial part of the assets of the Company that would render the Company incapable of performing its obligations under the Universal Telecommunications Service Contract;

8.            amendment to the Articles of Association which would impair the rights of the holder of the Series “B” Share, including authorizing the Board of Directors to increase the Company’s registered capital;

9.            issuance of convertible bonds or bonds conferring preemptive rights; and

10.      decisions on significant transfers of voting shares.

Controlling stakeholder

MagyarCom GmbH owns the majority of the registered shares and consequently the voting rights in the Company and the two rights are equal because one registered share represents one vote. The majority owner does not have additional controlling rights, not in comparison to even one shareholder. The Company, as a member of DT Group, concluded cooperation agreements and contracts regarding use of

27




name with German companies, being also the members of DT Group. The preliminary approval of contracts falls into the scope of authority of the Board of Directors of Magyar Telekom.

Risk management

The procedure of risk management includes the identification, measurement and valuation of risks, including the development of necessary action plans, as well as the monitoring of performance and results. An efficient risk management is the result of a conscious risk handling in favor of business success. At Magyar Telekom, risk management is not equal to risk elimination or minimization, but facing risks is rather an essential item of business activity in line with achieving the Company’s objectives.

Following the release of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Magyar Telekom decided to enhance its previous risk management procedures. As this new regulation requires fast disclosure of all risk items influencing the investors’ decisions, Magyar Telekom complemented its quarterly risk reporting system with an ad-hoc reporting procedure. In accordance with that all departments and subsidiaries of Magyar Telekom need to enter any fact, material information or risk that come to their attention on a real time basis in the risk monitoring software. Risk information created in the software is monitored daily by the risk management organization, and the CFO should be notified about a material risk or information emerged.

The risk management system of Magyar Telekom Group is an unique one in Hungary due to its cover for the whole company and its extension to the substantial corporate risks beside financial risks.

Magyar Telekom Telecommunications Public Limited Company

Submission

for Magyar Telekom Plc.’s General Meeting

Subject:                                                 Modification of the Articles of Association of Magyar Telekom Plc.

Budapest, April, 2007

40




 

The Articles of Association of Magyar Telekom Nyrt. is to be amended due to the following reasons:

1. In order to operate the gas engine in the headquarters to provide heating for the building it is necessary to obtain the relevant „small-power station” permission of the Hungarian Energy Office (MEH). The Articles of Association of the Company does not include the production of heat among the scope of activities therefore the operation of the heating system of the building as well as the selling, billing of the produced energy is problematic. According to the written requirement of the MEH the activity of „provision of steam and hot water” under TEÁOR No. 40.30 has to be incorporated into the scope of activities into the „other activities” section. Invoicing security services provided by the company for other companies is problematic, so it is necessary to incorporate TEÁOR No. 74.60 “Investigation and security services” into the scope of activities of the Articles of Association.

2. If the General Meeting of the Company makes a future decision on a transformation (e.g. fusion, merger, de-merger, separation), Section 71.§ (1) of Act IV of 2006 on Business Associations allows the General Meeting to decide on the transformation in one step (instead of two) upon the preparatory action of the Board. One of the preconditions of making such decision is that the Articles of the Company explicitly includes the possibility to decide in one step. The other important precondition is that the Board prepares all documents that are necessary for the transformation and selects the independent auditor who gives an opinion on the draft asset balance and asset inventory reports of the legal predecessor / legal successor companies as well as the other documents prepared by the Board. The following documents have to be prepared by the date of such General Meeting: draft asset balance and asset inventory reports - approved by the auditor - taken at the balance turning date specified by the Board (the balance turning date must fall on a date that is maximum six months before the date of making the respective GM resolution). In order to ensure the above possibility it is expedient to amend Section 6.2. (d) of the Articles accordingly.

Resolution proposal:

The General Meeting approves the amendment of the Articles of Association as follows:

1.6.2. Other activities

40.30’03 Provision of steam and hot water

74.60’03 Investigation and security activities
