• In 2012, average unit costs are expected to rise tangibly, mainly because of strongly rising energy costs,
costs related to the Legacy Project, a negative currency result and slightly increasing personnel costs.
• In 2013, savings in energy costs will roughly make up for increasing personnel costs and depreciation. Costs connected
with the Legacy Project should also remain on the 2012 level, so that in total, we expect a largely stable cost level.
