8. BLACK-OUT PERIOD

8.1 In compliance with Art. 19, subsection 11 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014, the Relevant MAR Subjects do not perform transactions on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, directly or indirectly, relating to the Financial Instruments or the Associated Instruments, during the period of 30 calendar days before the Company's announcement

of the data contained in the annual financial report, in the interim financial report or in additional periodic financial reports that the Company publishes in compliance with the laws and regulations applicable at the time or as the Company decides7 (the "Black-out Period").

8.2 Without prejudice to the prohibition on abusing Inside Information, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation, Relevant MAR Subjects may negotiate on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties during the Black-out Period:

  1. based on a case-by-case assessment by the Board of Directors where exceptional conditions exist, such as serious financial difficulties that require the immediate sale of the Financial Instruments. In these cases the Relevant MAR Subject asks the Company, using a written reasoned request, for authorisation to immediately sell the Financial Instruments during a Black-out Period. This written request contains a description of the transaction being considered and an explanation of the reason why the sale of the Financial Instruments is the only reasonable way to obtain the necessary financing; or
  2. due to the characteristics of the negotiation, in the case of transactions carried out at the same time as or in relation to an employee shareholding plan, or a savings programme, or the purchase of a guarantee or rights to shares, or transactions where the beneficial interest of the security in question is not subject to change.

In compliance with Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 522/2014, the Relevant MAR Subject must in any case be able to demonstrate that the specific transaction cannot be carried out at a time other than during the Black-out Period.

7 In line with the direction ESMA has expressed on this point, the deadline of 30 days starts from and includes the date on which the announcement is published.

18

  1. When deciding whether to authorise the immediate sale of the Financial Instruments during the Black-out Period, the Board of Directors makes a case-by-case assessment of the written request made by the Relevant MAR Subject.
  2. The Board of Directors is entitled to authorise the immediate sale of Financial Instruments only of the circumstances of these transactions may be considered exceptional, in other words they are extremely urgent, unforeseen and impelling situations that are not attributable to the Relevant MAR Subject and are outside of their control.
  3. When examining whether the circumstances described in the written request are exceptional, the Board of Directors assesses, together with other indicators, whether and to what extent the Relevant MAR Subject, at the moment the request is made:
    1. must discharge a financial obligation that is legally enforceable or to satisfy a claim;
    2. must discharge or is in a situation created before the start of the Black-out Period which requires payment of an amount to third parties, including tax obligations, and the Relevant MAR Subject cannot reasonably discharge a financial obligation or satisfy a claim without immediately selling the Financial Instruments.
  4. The Company is entitled to authorise the Relevant MAR Subject to negotiate the Financial Instruments on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties during a Black-out Period in certain circumstances and, among others, in situations where:
    1. the Relevant MAR Subject was granted or allocated financial instruments under a

remuneration plan, provided that the following conditions are met: i) the remuneration plan and its conditions have been approved by the Company beforehand in compliance with national legislation and the plan's conditions specify timescales for allocating or granting such financial instruments and the amount of such instruments allocated or granted, or the basis for calculating the amount, provided that discretionary powers cannot be exercised; ii) the Relevant MAR Subject does not have any discretionary powers concerning acceptance of the financial instruments allocated or granted;

  1. the Relevant MAR Subject was allocated or granted financial instruments as part of a remuneration plan that was implemented during the Black-out Period, provided that a previously planned and organised method has been applied concerning the

19

conditions, the periodicity and allocation times, provided that the group of people authorised (to which the financial instruments are granted) and the amount of the financial instruments to be allocated are indicated and provided that the allocation or granting of the financial instruments is part of a defined framework in which this allocation or granting cannot be influenced by any inside information;

  1. the Relevant MAR Subject exercises options or warrants or the conversion right for convertible bonds that have been allocated to them as part of a remuneration plan, if the expiry date of such options, warrants or convertible bonds falls in a Black-out Period, and sells the shares acquired after the exercise of such options, warrants or conversion rights, provided that the following conditions are met: i) the Relevant MAR Subject notifies the Company of their decision to exercise the options, warrants or conversion rights at least four months before the expiry date; ii) the Relevant MAR

Subject's decision is irrevocable; iii) the Relevant MAR Subject has been authorised by the Company beforehand;

  1. the Relevant MAR Subject acquires financial instruments from the Company as part of a savings plan for employees, provided that the following conditions are met: i) the Relevant MAR Subject joined the plan before the Black-out Period, except in cases where they could not join at another time owing to the start date of the employment relationship; ii) the Relevant MAR Subject does not change the conditions of their participation in the plan nor revokes such participation during the Black-out Period; iii)

the purchase transactions are clearly organised based on the plan's conditions and the Relevant MAR Subject does not have the right or the legal possibility to change them during the Black-out Period, or such transactions are part of the plan which was planned in such a way that they take place at a pre-established date falling during the Black-out Period;

  1. the Relevant MAR Subject transfers or receives, directly or indirectly, financial instruments, provided that they are transferred from one account to another of such person and that the transfer does not entail any change in their price;
  2. the Relevant MAR Subject acquires a guarantee or rights relating to the Company's

shares and the final date of this acquisition falls within the Black-out Period, in

20

compliance with the Company's articles of association or according to the law, provided that such person can demonstrate to the Company the reasons why the acquisition did not take place at another time and the Company accepts the explanation provided.

  2. the financial instrument provides exposure to a portfolio of assets in which the exposure to the issuer's shares or debt instruments does not exceed 20 % of the portfolio's assets; or (c) the financial instrument is a unit or share in a collective investment undertaking or provides exposure to a portfolio of assets and the person discharging managerial responsibilities or person closely associated with such a person does not know, and could not know, the investment composition or exposure of such collective investment undertaking or portfolio of assets in relation to the issuer's shares or debt instruments, and furthermore there is no reason for that person to believe that the issuer's shares or debt instruments exceed the thresholds in point (a) or (b).

If information regarding the investment composition of the collective investment undertaking or exposure to the portfolio of assets is available, then the person discharging managerial responsibility or person closely associated with such a person shall make all reasonable efforts to avail themselves of that information.

2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, and without prejudice to the right of Member States to provide for notification obligations other than those referred to in this Article, all transactions conducted on the own account of the persons referred to in paragraph 1, shall be notified by those persons to the competent authorities.

The rules applicable to notifications, with which persons referred to in paragraph 1 must comply, shall be those of the Member State where the issuer or emission allowance market participant is registered. Notifications shall be made within three working days of the transaction date to the competent authority of that Member State. Where the issuer is not registered in a Member State, the notification shall be made to the competent authority of the Member State of origin in accordance with point (i) of Article 2(1) of Directive 2004/109/EC or, in the absence thereof, to the competent authority of the trading venue.

41

3. Issuers or emission allowance market participants shall publish the information contained in the notification referred to in paragraph 1 within two business days of receiving it.

The issuer or emission allowance market participant shall use such media as may reasonably be relied upon for the effective dissemination of information to the public throughout the Union, and, where applicable, it shall use the officially appointed mechanism referred to in Article 21 of Directive 2004/109/EC.

Alternatively, national law may provide that a competent authority may itself make public the information.

4. This Article shall apply to issuers who:

  1. have requested or approved admission of their financial instruments to trading on a regulated market; or
  2. in the case of an instrument only traded on an MTF or an OTF, have approved trading of their financial instruments on an MTF or an OTF or have requested admission to trading of their financial instruments on an MTF.

5. Issuers and emission allowance market participants shall notify the person discharging managerial responsibilities of their obligations under this Article in writing. Issuers and emission allowance market participants shall draw up a list of all persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them.

Persons discharging managerial responsibilities shall notify the persons closely associated with them of their obligations under this Article in writing and shall keep a copy of this notification.

  1. A notification of transactions referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain the following information:
    (a) the name of the person;
    (b) the reason for the notification;
    (c) the name of the relevant issuer or emission allowance market participant;
    (d) a description and the identifier of the financial instrument;
    (e) the nature of the transaction(s) (e.g. acquisition or disposal), indicating whether it is
    linked to the exercise of share option programmes or to the specific examples set out in paragraph 7;
    (f) the date and place of the transaction(s); and
    (g) the price and volume of the transaction(s). In the case of a pledge whose terms provide for its value to change, this should be disclosed together with its value at the date of the pledge.
  2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, transactions that must be notified shall also include:
  1. the pledging or lending of financial instruments by or on behalf of a person discharging managerial responsibilities or a person closely associated with such a person, as referred to in paragraph 1;
  2. transactions undertaken by persons professionally arranging or executing transactions or by another person on behalf of a person discharging managerial responsibilities or a person closely associated with such a person, as referred to in paragraph 1, including where discretion is exercised;
  3. transactions made under a life insurance policy, defined in accordance with Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), where:
  1. the policyholder is a person discharging managerial responsibilities or a person closely associated with such a person, as referred to in paragraph 1,
  1. the investment risk is borne by the policyholder, and
  1. the policyholder has the power or discretion to make investment decisions regarding specific instruments in that life insurance policy or to execute transactions regarding specific instruments for that life insurance policy.

For the purposes of point (a), a pledge, or a similar security interest, of financial instruments in connection with the depositing of the financial instruments in a custody account does not need to be notified, unless and until such time that such pledge or other security interest is designated to secure a specific credit facility.

For the purposes of point (b), transactions executed in shares or debt instruments of an issuer or derivatives or other financial instruments linked thereto by managers of a collective investment undertaking in which the person discharging managerial responsibilities or a person closely associated with them has invested do not

42

need to be notified where the manager of the collective investment undertaking operates with full discretion, which excludes the manager receiving any instructions or suggestions on portfolio composition directly or indirectly from investors in that collective investment undertaking.

Insofar as a policyholder of an insurance contract is required to notify transactions according to this paragraph, an obligation to notify is not incumbent on the insurance company.

  1. Paragraph 1 shall apply to any subsequent transaction once a total amount of EUR 5 000 has been reached within a calendar year. The threshold of EUR 5 000 shall be calculated by adding without netting all transactions referred to in paragraph 1.
  2. A competent authority may decide to increase the threshold set out in paragraph 8 to EUR 20 000 and shall inform ESMA of its decision and the justification for its decision, with specific reference to market conditions, to adopt the higher threshold prior to its application. ESMA shall publish on its website the list of thresholds that apply in accordance with this Article and the justifications provided by competent authorities for such thresholds.
  3. This Article shall also apply to transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities within any auction platform, auctioneer and auction monitor involved in the auctions held under Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 and to persons closely associated with such persons in so far as their transactions involve emission allowances, derivatives thereof or auctioned products based thereon. Those persons shall notify their transactions to the auction platforms, auctioneers and auction monitor, as applicable, and to the competent authority where the auction platform, auctioneer or auction monitor, as applicable, is registered. The information that is so notified shall be made public by the auction platforms, auctioneers,
    auction monitor or competent authority in accordance with paragraph 3.
  4. Without prejudice to Articles 14 and 15, a person discharging managerial responsibilities within an issuer shall not conduct any transactions on its own account or for the account of a third party, directly or indirectly, relating to the shares or debt instruments of the issuer or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked to them during a closed period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of an interim financial report or a year-end report which the issuer is obliged to make public according to:
    (a) the rules of the trading venue where the issuer's shares are admitted to trading; or
    (b) national law.
  5. Without prejudice to Articles 14 and 15, an issuer may allow a person discharging managerial responsibilities within it to trade on its own account or for the account of a third party during a closed period as referred to in paragraph 11 either:
    (a) on a case-by-case basis due to the existence of exceptional circumstances, such as severe financial difficulty, which require the immediate sale of shares; or
    (b) due to the characteristics of the trading involved for transactions made under, or related to, an employee share or saving scheme, qualification or entitlement of shares, or transactions where the beneficial interest in the relevant security does not change.
  6. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 35 specifying the circumstances under which trading during a closed period may be permitted by the issuer, as referred to in paragraph 12, including the circumstances that would be considered as exceptional and the types of transaction that would justify the permission for trading.
  7. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 35, specifying types of transactions that would trigger the requirement referred to in paragraph 1.
  8. In order to ensure uniform application of paragraph 1, ESMA shall develop draft implementing technical standards concerning the format and template in which the information referred to in paragraph 1 is to be notified and made public.
    ESMA shall submit those draft implementing technical standards to the Commission by 3 July 2015. Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the implementing technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010."

References to the competent authority in this paragraph are without prejudice to the ability of the competent authority to exercise its functions in any ways referred to in Article 23(1).

For the purposes of points (j)(i) and (ii) of the first subparagraph, where the legal person is a parent undertaking or a subsidiary undertaking which is required to prepare consolidated financial accounts pursuant to Directive 2013/34/EU ( 1 ), the relevant total annual turnover shall be the total annual turnover or the corresponding type of income in accordance with the relevant accounting directives - Council Directive 86/635/EEC ( 2 ) for banks and Council Directive 91/674/EEC ( 3 ) for insurance companies - according to the last available consolidated accounts approved by the management body of the ultimate parent undertaking.

3. Member States may provide that competent authorities have powers in addition to those referred to in paragraph 2 and may provide for higher levels of sanctions than those established in that paragraph."

Article 31 of the MAR

Exercise of supervisory powers and imposition of sanctions

"1. Member States shall ensure that when determining the type and level of administrative sanctions, competent authorities take into account all relevant circumstances, including, where appropriate:

  1. the gravity and duration of the infringement;
  2. the degree of responsibility of the person responsible for the infringement;
  3. the financial strength of the person responsible for the infringement, as indicated, for example, by the total turnover of a legal person or the annual income of a natural person;
  4. the importance of the profits gained or losses avoided by the person responsible for the infringement, insofar as they can be determined;
  5. the level of cooperation of the person responsible for the infringement with the competent authority, without prejudice to the need to ensure disgorgement of profits gained or losses avoided by that person;
  6. previous infringements by the person responsible for the infringement; and
  7. measures taken by the person responsible for the infringement to prevent its repetition.

2. In the exercise of their powers to impose administrative sanctions and other administrative measures under Article 30, competent authorities shall cooperate closely to ensure that the exercise of their supervisory and investigative powers, and the administrative sanctions that they impose, and the other administrative measures that they take, are effective and appropriate under this Regulation. They shall coordinate their actions in accordance with Article 25 in order to avoid duplication and overlaps when exercising their supervisory and investigative powers and when imposing administrative sanctions in respect of cross-border cases."

Article 34 of the MAR

Publication of decisions

45

"1. Subject to the third subparagraph, competent authorities shall publish any decision imposing an administrative sanction or other administrative measure in relation to an infringement of this Regulation on their website immediately after the person subject to that decision has been informed of that decision. Such publication shall include at least information on the type and nature of the infringement and the identity of the person subject to the decision.

The first subparagraph does not apply to decisions imposing measures that are of an investigatory nature. Where a competent authority considers that the publication of the identity of the legal person subject to the decision, or of the personal data of a natural person, would be disproportionate following a case-by-case assessment conducted on the proportionality of the publication of such data, or where such publication would jeopardise an ongoing investigation or the stability of the financial markets, it shall do any of the following:

  1. defer publication of the decision until the reasons for that deferral cease to exist;
  2. publish the decision on an anonymous basis in accordance with national law where such publication ensures the effective protection of the personal data concerned;
  3. not publish the decision in the event that the competent authority is of the opinion that publication in accordance with point (a) or (b) will be insufficient to ensure:
    1. that the stability of financial markets is not jeopardised; or
    2. the proportionality of the publication of such decisions with regard to measures which are

deemed to be of a minor nature.

Where a competent authority takes a decision to publish a decision on an anonymous basis as referred to in point (b) of the third subparagraph, it may postpone the publication of the relevant data for a reasonable period of time where it is foreseeable that the reasons for anonymous publication will cease to exist during that period.

  1. Where the decision is subject to an appeal before a national judicial, administrative or other authority, competent authorities shall also publish immediately on their website such information and any subsequent information on the outcome of such an appeal. Moreover, any decision annulling a decision subject to appeal shall also be published.
  2. Competent authorities shall ensure that any decision that is published in accordance with this Article shall remain accessible on their website for a period of at least five years after its publication. Personal data contained in such publications shall be kept on the website of the competent authority for the period which is necessary in accordance with the applicable data protection rules."
