Authorized Capital

By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2011, the previous Authorized Capitals I to V were revoked and a new Authorized Capital I was created.

In accordance with the new provision in the articles of association of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, the general partner, Fresenius Management SE, is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, until May 12, 2016, to increase Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA’s subscribed capital by a total amount of up to €40,320,000 through a single issue or multiple issues of new bearer ordinary shares against cash contributions and / or contributions in kind (Authorized Capital I). A subscription right must be granted to the shareholders in principle. In defined cases, the general partner is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to decide on the exclusion of the shareholders’ subscription right (e. g. to eliminate fractional amounts). For cash contributions, the authorization can only be exercised if the issue price is not significantly below the stock exchange price of the already listed shares at the time the issue price is fixed with final effect by the general partner. Furthermore, the proportionate amount of the shares issued with exclusion of subscription rights may not exceed 10% of the subscribed capital neither at the time of the resolution on the authorization nor at the time of the utilization of the authorization. In the case of a contribution in kind, the subscription right can be excluded only in order to acquire a company, parts of a company or a participation in a company. The authorizations granted concerning the exclusion of subscription rights can be used by the general partner only to such extent that the proportional amount of the total number of shares issued with exclusion of the subscription rights does not exceed 20% of the subscribed capital, neither at the time of the resolution on the authorization nor at the time of the utilization of the authorization.

The changes to the Authorized Capital became effective upon registration of the amendments to the articles of association with the commercial register on July 11, 2011.

Due to the capital increase, the Authorized Capital I decreased by €13.8 million to €26,520,000 at December 31, 2012.

Conditional capital

Corresponding to the stock option plans, the Conditional Capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA is divided into Conditional Capital I, Conditional Capital II and Conditional Capital III. These are used to satisfy the subscription rights in connection with previously issued stock options or convertible bonds, as the case may be, for bearer ordinary shares under the stock option plans of 1998, 2003 and 2008 (see note 35, Stock options).

By resolution on May 11, 2012, the Annual General Meeting of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA authorized the general partner, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, until May 10, 2017, to issue option bearer bonds and / or convertible bearer bonds, once or several times, for a total nominal amount of up to €2.5 billion. To fulfill the granted subscription rights, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA was increased conditionally by up to €16,323,734 through issuing of up to 16,323,734 new bearer ordinary shares (Conditional Capital IV). The change of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA’s articles of association with regard to the Conditional Capital IV became effective upon registration with the commercial register on July 4, 2012. The conditional capital increase shall only be implemented to the extent that the holders of convertible bonds issued for cash or of warrants from option bonds issued for cash exercise their conversion or option rights and as long as no other forms of settlement are used (Conditional Capital IV). The new bearer ordinary shares shall participate in the profits from the start of the fiscal year in which they are issued.
