Events subsequent to the reporting dateOn 4 October 2005, the Supervisory Board of the company consented to the execution of a capital increase of 5 million ordinary shares to the exclusion of subscription rights within the framework of an accelerated bookbuilding procedure. The Executive Board acted on this authorisation on 15 November 2005. The issuing of 5 million new shares resulted in the share capital increasing by 9.86% from Euro 129,802 thousand to Euro 142,602 thousand. The new shares were acquired by German and European institutional investors at an issue price of Euro 18.00. As a result, the free float increased from 12.13% to 18.68%. The indirect share held by the City of Mannheim now amounts to 66.28%, with the remaining shareholding of 15.04% being held by Energieversorgung Baden-Württemberg AG. The new shares are of the same class as the existing shares and therefore enjoy full dividend entitlement.
