Reference
Clearstream Banking1 informs customers that the annual general meeting of KPS AG (ISIN DE000A1A6V48) will take place on
23 March 2018
In the interests of the shareholders of KPS AG, Clearstream Banking reminds customers of the statutory obligation of banks to re-register/register the positions in the name of the shareholders.
In order to avoid discrepancies in the share register resulting from the large number of unregistered positions, re-registrations in the names of the new shareholders must be carried out as soon as possible after the respective purchase transaction. In addition to registrations in the names of shareholders, it is also possible to register shares in the name of a depository bank acting as nominee.

Owing to the annual general meeting of KPS AG, the transmission of re-registration and registration instructions from CASCADE-RS to the share register will be suspended as follows. Automatic re-registration to nominee in accordance with § 67, 4 AktG (ALU) will also be interrupted in accordance with the information.
