Notification obligations on aggregation; authorisation to issue statutory instruments

(1) The notification obligation under section 33(1) and (2) applies correspondingly to holders of voting rights within the meaning of section 33 and of instruments within the meaning of section 38, where the sum of the voting rights to be taken into account under section 33(1), first sentence, or (2), and section 38(1), first sentence, in the same issuer reaches, exceeds or falls below the thresholds referred to in section 33(1), first sentence, other than the 3 percent threshold.
(2) The Federal Ministry of Finance may, by statutory instrument not requiring the consent of the Bundesrat, adopt further provisions on the content, nature, language, scope and form of the notification under subsection (1). The Federal Ministry of Finance may transfer this authorisation, by statutory instrument, to the Bundesanstalt, insofar as the nature and form of the notification under subsection (1), in particular the use of an electronic procedure, is concerned.
