(1) Own shares participate in the increase in the share capital.
(2) Partially paid in shares participate in the increase in the share capital in accordance with their nominal value. In such cases the capital increase may only be effected by increasing the nominal value of the shares. If fully paid in shares exist alongside partially paid in shares, then in their case the capital increase may be effected by increasing the nominal value of the shares and by creating new shares. The shares whose nominal value is increased may be issued in any full euro amount.
