The acquisition of voting rights that led to the thresholds being exceeded is the result of intragroup restructuring that is not aimed at the realization of strategic objectives or the generation of trading profits. 2. No decision to acquire or otherwise obtain additional voting rights in First Sensor AG has been taken to date. Accordingly, the right to acquire or otherwise obtain voting rights in First Sensor AG in the next twelve months is reserved. 3.
