Resolutions are passed at the Annual General Meeting by a simple majority of shares cast unless otherwise explicitly required by binding provisions of law or, if a majority of share capital is required, by a simple ma- jority of shares represented in the vote (§ 21 (1) of the Articles of Incorporation).
