Annual General Meeting Attendance Increased Further
The Annual General Meeting is a platform for dialog between
our shareholders and the Executive and Supervisory Boards. It is also the forum for shareholders to execute their voting rights.
At our Annual General Meeting on May 10, 2007 44 % of the capital with voting rights was present. This represents an increase
of 5 percentage points compared to the prior year. We attribute this considerable increase in the attendance rate to the proxy
solicitation
conducted prior to the Annual General Meeting, when our shareholders were directly contacted and informed on
the exact deadlines, registration requirements and possibilities for exercising their voting rights. Furthermore, our shareholders
may utilize our enhanced Internet service. This service offers our shareholders the possibility to have their voting rights exercised by
a proxy appointed by adidas AG, a service which can be requested in writing or via the Internet until the end of the general debate
(7.8% of the stock capital exercised voting rights via the Internet at the 2007 Annual General Meeting). In light of the increasing
importance of electronic
transmission of information, we created the necessary preconditions for this with the amendment to the
Articles of Association resolved by the shareholders. The use of the Internet service has been sustainably supported, and obstacles,
especially with regard to the cross-border exercise of voting rights, have been reduced. At our next Annual General Meeting, taking
place on May 8, 2008 in Fuerth (Bavaria), we will again provide our shareholders with the best possible service.
