Conversion of certificates for shares
All shareholders who own certificates for ordinary shares and preference shares of Fresenius SE and hold those by themselves were requested to surrender those certificates to their custodian bank in the period from December 17, 2007, to March 20, 2008. The ordinary and preference shares of Fresenius SE are now evidenced wholly by global certificates deposited with Clearstream Banking AG.
On April 1, 2008, Fresenius SE published the notice of invalidation. All now incorrect share certificates which have not yet been surrendered for conversion into co-ownership rights in a collective holding of shares of our company maintained with Clearstream Banking AG are declared invalid in accordance with Section 73 of the German stock corporation Act (AktG)
Shareholders who hold their shares in a collective security deposit with a financial institution do not need to taky any action.
