Agenda: 1.

These documents will also be held available at the General Meeting of Axel Springer SE. In compliance with the statutory provisions, it is not intended to pass a resolution under agenda item 1 as the Supervisory Board has already approved the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements. 2. Appropriation of profits The Supervisory Board and Executive Board propose to use the full amount of the profits shown on the balance sheet in the amount of € 125,158,560.76 for payment of a dividend for fiscal year 2019 in the amount of € 1.16 per no-par value share entitled to dividends. As the Company does not hold any treasury shares at the present time, all shares in the Company are therefore entitled to dividends. The number of shares entitled to dividends may, however, change by the date of the General Meeting. In such a case, an adjusted proposal for the appropriation of profits will be submitted to the General Meeting, with an unchanged distribution of € 1.16 per no-par value share entitled to dividends. The shareholders' claims for payment of their dividend will fall due on the third business day following adoption of the resolution by the General Meeting (section 58 (4) sentence 2 to article 5, article 9 (1) lit. c) ii), article 53 as well as article 61 of EU Council Regulation 2157/2001 of 8 October 2001 on the Statute for a European Company (SE) ("SE Regulation") unless determined otherwise by more specific stipulations of the SE Regulation. 2 As far as in this invitation to the General Meeting a legal norm is marked as “previous version”, this has the following meaning: legislative changes resulting from the Shareholder Rights Directive Implementation Act (Gesetz zur Umsetzung der zweiten Aktionärsrechterichtlinie, Federal Law Gazette as of 12 December 2019, p. 2637 et seqq.) ("ARUG II") are generally effective since 1 January 2020. However, for those legal norms marked as "previous version" in this invitation to the General Meeting, ARUG II has stipulated that these legal norms are only applicable at a later date. Up to this later date, the previous version of the respective legal norm continues to apply, which is indicated in this invitation to the General Meeting by the marking as "previous version". - 3 - AktG).

  • What Do News Aggregators Do? Evidence from Google News in Spain and Germany*
    What Do News Aggregators Do? Evidence from Google News in Spain and Germany* Joan Calzada† Ricard Gil‡ December 2018 Abstract The impact of aggregators on news outlets is ambiguous. In particular, the existing theoretical literature highlights that although aggregators create a market expansion effect when they bring visitors to news outlets, they also generate a substitution effect if some visitors switch from the news outlets to the aggregators. Using the shutdown of the Spanish edition of Google News in December of 2014 and difference-in-differences methodology, this paper empirically examines the relevance of these two effects. We show the shutdown of Google News in Spain decreased the number of daily visits to Spanish news outlets between 8% and 14%, and that this effect was larger in outlets with less overall daily visits and a lower share of international visitors. We also find evidence suggesting that the shutdown decreased online advertisement revenues and advertising intensity at news outlets. We then analyze the effect of the opt-in policy adopted by the German edition of Google News in October of 2014. Although such policy did not significantly affect the daily visits of all outlets that opted out, it reduced by 8% the number of visits of the outlets controlled by the publisher Axel Springer. Our results demonstrate the existence of a net market-expansion effect through which news aggregators increase consumers' awareness of news outlets' contents, thereby increasing their number of visits. * We thank Shane Greenstein, Avi

TECHNOLOGY Search Giant to Avoid Paying Publishing Rights Following Change in Law By SAM SCHECHNER Oct. 2, 2014 10:27 a.m. ET Google has been in a long-running legal battle over a new German law that obliges the company to secure permission to display publishers’ content.. Associated Press Google Inc. will stop posting snippets from several large German newspapers beginning next week, rather than pay for the right to post them, escalating a fight with the country’s publishers amid broader pressure on the company in Europe. On Wednesday Google said it would stop displaying both text summaries and thumbnail images from newspapers including Axel Springer SE ’s Bild—the country’s most widely sold—because of a continuing legal fight over a new German law that obliges the company to secure permission to display publishers’ content. “Given this litigation, we’ll no longer be showing snippets and thumbnails for some well-known sites (in Germany),” Philipp Justus, managing director of Google Germany, said in a blog post, adding Google 1 of 2 10/3/2014 11:39 AM Google to Stop Publishing German Newspaper Extracts - WSJ http://online.wsj.com/articles/google-to-stop-publishing-german-newspap..

  • Reviewed Scott Dissertation Final
    MURDEROUS MOTHERS: FEMINIST VIOLENCE IN GERMAN LITERATURE AND FILM (1970-2000) Claire E. Scott A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Carolina-Duke Graduate Program in German Studies. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Kata Gellen Stefani Engelstein Richard Langston Priscilla Layne Inga Pollmann ©2017 Claire E. Scott ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Claire E. Scott: Murderous Mothers: Feminist Violence in German Literature and Film (1970-2000) (Under the direction of Kata Gellen) This dissertation analyzes literary and filmic representations of violent mothers from late 20th-century Germany. It employs feminist theories of language and theories of the voice and the body in film to enhance close readings of texts in which female protagonists defy gendered expectations by perpetrating acts of aggression. Through an interplay between thematic violence and the transgression of aesthetic conventions, these works generate an imaginary of feminist violence that advances feminist politics. Highlighting this dynamic reveals female bodies and voices as important sites for working through both past and contemporary violence in the German context. In addition, this work has broader theoretical significance as an intermediary between feminist theories of language and materialist feminist theories. Instead of strategies for emancipation, these texts generate female subjectivities that are engaged, not in assertions of individuality, but in collective and collaborative storytelling practices. The first chapter considers Dea Loher’s Manhattan Medea (1999) and Christa Wolf’s Medea. Stimmen (1996). Both of these texts use the story of Medea to come to terms with a historical context in which the voices of outsiders are excluded.

  • Criminelen, Guerrillastrijders of Toch Terroristen? De Framing Van De Eerste Generatie Rote Armee Fraktion
    Criminelen, guerrillastrijders of toch terroristen? De framing van de eerste generatie Rote Armee Fraktion Auteur: Matthijs Kock Studentnummer: 5996198 Cursus: Ges-Bachelor Eindwerkstuk (GE3V14054) Begeleider: Stefanie Massink MSc Datum: 18 januari 2019 Plaats: Utrecht “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” 1 - Walter Laqueur Afbeelding voorzijde: Lebendiges Museum Online, ‘Plakat “Anarchistische Gewalttäter Baader/Meinhof- Bande”’, https://www.hdg.de/lemo/bestand/objekt/plakat-raf-fahndungsplakat.html (18-11-2018). 1 Walter Laqueur, The Age of Terrorism (Boston 1987) 302. Samenvatting Vanaf de 21e eeuw heeft de hele wereld, maar in het bijzonder West-Europa, te maken gehad met een toename in het aantal terroristische aanslagen. Als gevolg hiervan groeit in de academische wereld het onderzoek naar het concept terrorisme. Want ondanks dat het fenomeen al sinds de Oudheid bestaat, is er nog altijd geen universele definitie voor terrorisme. Na een analyse van verschillende definities is er in dit onderzoek de volgende werkdefinitie opgesteld: terrorisme is het door personen of groeperingen intentioneel dreigen met en/of gebruiken van geweld tegen burgers die zelf geen dreiging vormen voor de terrorist en/of terroristische organisatie, om sociaal-politieke veranderingen in de maatschappij te bewerkstelligen. Deze werkdefinitie wordt in dit onderzoek getoetst aan de casus van de eerste generatie Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF), omdat deze groepering verschillende overeenkomsten heeft met hedendaagse terroristische organisaties. De RAF werd in 1970 opgericht tegen de kapitalistische maatschappij van de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland en de Amerikaanse strijd in de Vietnamoorlog. De RAF werd door de West-Duitse overheid al vroeg bestempeld als een terroristische organisatie, maar haar politieke aspiraties werden aan de andere kant ook onderuitgehaald door de leden neer te zetten als gewone criminelen.
