In connection with the IPO of centrotherm photovoltaics AG, Sole Global

fully exercised the Greenshoe Option on October 31, 2007, due to strong demand
both from retail and institutional investors.
In connection with the IPO of centrotherm photovoltaics AG, the selling
shareholders granted the Syndicate Banks the option to acquire - in addition to
the transaction volume of 4,665,315 shares - up to 694,000 shares at the offer
price of EUR 34.50 per share (Greenshoe Option). Based on this option, Citi
allocated an additional 694,000 shares in the allocation process of the IPO.
With the exercise of the Greenshoe Option, the stabilization period ends. Due to
strong demand and positive share price development of the centrotherm

stabilization measures.
