Against the backdrop of our anticipated growth, further strengthening of
our capital structure and preparation for the changing regulatory
requirements, we are, in our capital planning, evaluating whether a
strengthening of our equity is advisable. Depending on market developments,
a capital increase may be a possible option within the next 12 months.
