The Board of Directors has given its final approval of the first step of the contemplated relocation by approving the conversion project (the "Conversion Project") and a management report outlining the legal and economic aspects of the Conversion (the "Management Report").

The Conversion Project and the Management Report will be presented to the general meeting of shareholders for approval in an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, to be announced later.
