Agenda of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting we ask for understanding,

E. Appointment of a representative (proxy holder) (Section 106 item 8
Austrian Stock Corporation Act)

According to section 113 Austrian Stock Corporation Act each shareholder,
who is entitled to participate in the shareholders' meeting has the right
to appoint a natural or legal person as its representative (proxy holder).
The proxy holder participates in the shareholders' meeting on behalf of the
shareholder and has the same rights as the shareholder it represents. Each
proxy shall clearly specify the proxy holder by name. The shareholder is
not restricted regarding number and choice of proxy holders, however, the
company itself or members of the executive board or supervisory board may
only exercise voting right insofar as the shareholder has issued explicit
voting instructions.

The power of attorney (proxy) shall be granted to a specific person. Powers
of attorney (proxies) as well as their revocations shall be issued in text
form (written, no signature required).

A shareholder may grant power of attorney (proxy) to the credit institution
where the shares are held on a securities account. In such case, in
addition to the depository confirmation, it is sufficient that the credit
institution confirms to the company, in a permitted way (see above), that
it has been granted power of attorney (proxy); in such case the power of
attorney (proxy) does not need to be conveyed to the company separately.

An issued power of attorney (proxy) may be revoked by the shareholder. The
revocation shall only be effective after receipt by the company.

Declarations on the issuing of power of attorney (proxy) and respective
revocations can be conveyed to the company solely via the following ways:

  • via mail or courier service at the address HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH,
    Köppel 60, 8242 St. Lorenzen am Wechsel;

    Corporation Act per SWIFT to the address GIBAATWGGMS, Message Type MT598

p.m. CET/CEST (Vienna local time) on the day preceding the day of the
shareholders' meeting (hence on 13 March 2014). After this point in time
the power of attorney (proxy) or a revocation shall be personally delivered
on the date of the shareholders' meeting at the meeting venue during
registration.
