Shareholders of the company may submit counterproposals to proposals by the executive board and/or the supervisory board on certain TOPs of the agenda and proposals for the election of auditors. Such motions (including statements of grounds) and election proposals may only be sent to

CropEnergies AG
Investor Relations
Gottlieb-Daimler-Strasse 12
68165 Mannheim

or by fax to: +49 (0) 621/714190-03

or by e-mail to: ir@cropenergies.de

Statements of grounds must be provided for any counterproposal; this does not apply to election proposals.

Counterproposals and election proposals by shareholders duly received at one of the above addresses at least 14 days prior to the annual general meeting, i.e. no later than 4 July 2011 (24.00 hours) will be published without delay on the company's website at

http://www.cropenergies.com/de/HV2011/

Any comments by the company's corporate bodies will also be published at the above website address.

The company is not required to publish a counterproposal and its statement of grounds or an election proposal if one of the exclusionary conditions set out in § 126 (section 2) AktG is met, e.g. if the election proposal or counterproposal would result in a resolution by the annual general meeting that breaches the law or the articles of association. Furthermore, election proposals are not required to be published if they do not contain the name, profession and domicile of the proposed person. The statement of grounds for a counterproposal is not required to be published if its total length is more than 5,000 characters.
Shareholders are requested to provide proof of their share ownership already when submitting counterproposals and election proposals. It should be noted that counterproposals and election proposals, even if sent to the company in advance and in due time, will only be addressed at the annual general meeting if they are also put forward verbally there. The right of every shareholder to put forward counterproposals on the various agenda TOPs or election proposals during the annual general meeting even without a previous submission to the company remains unaffected.
