We continue to take the spread of the coronavirus and the associated restrictions on public life and on business operations very seriously. We closely monitor daily developments and official measures and follow the recommendations of competent experts and authorities. Protecting the health of our staff, customers and business partners as well as their families is our highest priority.
To ensure that business operations run as smoothly as possible while simultaneously adhering to various safety and precautionary measures, we have decided - as have numerous other companies - to introduce split working. This means that a large number of staff work from home on a regular basis. In most cases they can be reached as usual by telephone and e-mail. We ask for your understanding if, in individual cases, you receive a delayed reply or a mobile number is used that is unknown to you. We are trying to keep the restrictions to a minimum and look forward to continuing to work together with you. We are glad to assist you, also in such difficult times as we are currently facing, by providing our tailored financings and hope that meetings in person will be possible again in the not too distant future.
