In control statement

Based on the aforementioned and considering the limitations inevitably associated with any internal risk management and control system, the company’s systems provide the Management Board with a reasonable degree of security with regard to financial risk that the financial reports do not contain any material misstatements and that the annual report gives a true and fair view of the situation on the balance sheet date and the developments during the year under review. These risk and control systems operated properly during the year under review, and there are no indications that this situation should change in the current year. With regard to the other risks, the company maintains a risk management and control system adapted to the company’s size, which also operated adequately during the year under review.
