Pursuant to Article 109 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, shareholders
the total of whose shares add up to 5% of the Company's share capital are
entitled to demand, in writing, that certain items determined by them be
included in the agenda of the subsequent Annual General Meeting and
publicized accordingly. Each item requested to be included in the agenda
must be accompanied by a draft resolution including a statement of reasons.
The applicants must have held their shares for at least three months before
the filing of the respective request. The shareholders' request must have
been received by the Company not later than on the 21st day before the
Annual General Meeting, i.e., on or before 24 February 2017.

entitled to submit to the Company, in text form (Article 13 (2) of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act), written proposals for resolution with
regard to each individual item on the agenda and to demand that such
proposals be made accessible on the Company's website, together with the

subject to the provision of proof of share ownership throughout the
relevant period in each case; such proof must be provided by means of a
certificate of deposit pursuant to Article 10a of the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act. Further information concerning the shareholder rights,

of deposit pursuant to Article 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act,
which must be submitted to the Company not later than by the third working

Stock Corporation Act)

All shareholders entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting have the
right to appoint an individual or a legal person as representative, namely
by means of a power of attorney issued in writing or in text form. The
Company itself, or any member of the Executive Board or of the Supervisory
Board, shall be entitled to act as representative exercising voting rights
only in cases where the relevant shareholder has issued explicit
instructions as to how the voting rights are to be exercised with regard to
each individual item of the agenda. The power of attorney must be issued to
a specific individual or legal person. In cases where the shareholder has
issued a power of attorney to the credit institution maintaining the
custody account (Article 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act), a
declaration on the part of the latter added to the certificate of deposit,
to the effect that it has been granted a power of attorney, will be
sufficient.

Powers of attorney may be issued by means of the form provided on the
Company's website, www.buho.at, which also permits the granting of a
limited power of attorney. The power of attorney must be sent to, and kept
on file by, the Company.

Powers of attorney may be sent to the Company exclusively in written form
by letter (Burgenland Holding AG, attn.: Nikolaus Korab, Marktstraße 3,
7000 Eisenstadt), by fax (+43(0)1 8900 500 90) or by e-mail
(anmeldung.buho@hauptversammlung.at). Documents should be attached to the
e-mail for example as a PDF. Declarations according to Article 114 (1) line
4 may also be submitted via SWIFT: GIBAATWGGMS (Message Type MT598;
necessary to state the ISIN code: AT0000640552 in the text). On the day of
the Annual General Meeting, the delivery of the power of attorney is only
possible by hand upon the registration to the Annual General Meeting at the
place of that assembly.

The above provisions regarding the granting of the power of attorney shall
also apply, mutatis mutandis, to its revocation.
