will be submitted to the EU. The Extraordinary General Meetings that
will vote on the merger plan are scheduled for late August/early
September. A prospectus will be made available well in advance of the
meetings.

The work to prepare the integration is progressing according to plan in
18 integration projects and a hundred subprojects.
