Each additional item must be accompanied by a proposal for the resolution to be passed (in any event in German and if desired in an additional language) including reasons (in German required).

Furthermore, the deposit confirmation must show that the requesting shareholder has held the shares continuously for at least 3 months at the time of the date of the request. For several shareholders who only jointly hold the required number of shares amounting to 5% of the share capital, the deposit confirmations for all the shareholders shall refer to the same point of time (date and time).
Resolution proposals:
Until the end of the 7th business day prior to the General Meeting (thus by 11 September 2017), shareholders whose shares collectively amount to at least 1% of the share capital may submit (by fax to +43 (0)50 664 9 49040 or by mail to Telekom Austria AG, Investor Relations Department, A-1020 Vienna, Lassallestrasse 9, or by e-mail to [email protected]) written (i.e. in text form) proposals for the resolutions to be passed and may request that these proposals are made available on the company's website, together with the names of the respective shareholders, the reasons which must be attached and a possible statement by the Management Board or the Supervisory Board.

The Supervisory Board candidate must disclose in such declaration his/her expert qualifications, professional or similar functions, as well as all circumstances which might give rise to concerns of a conflict of interests.
In order to prove the shareholder's status, the shareholder shall submit a deposit confirmation according to Sec 10a Stock Corporation Act in German or English from the custodian bank with registered office in a member state of the European Economic Area (EEA) or in a full member state of the OECD. This confirmation may not be more than 7 days old upon submission to the company.

The reasons do not have to be published on the company's website, if they contain more than 5,000 characters total or if the statement fulfils one of the elements in the above-mentioned item 4.
