Shareholders are entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and to exercise their voting rights if they provide evidence of their shareholding no later than the end of the tenth day prior to the shareholders' meeting (record date). For bearer shares in the company deposited with a depositary credit institution, it is sufficient to have a confirmation on the record date (end of day on September 1, 2012) pursuant to Section 10a Para. 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in German or in English issued by a depositary credit institution whose registered office is in a member state of the European Economic Area or in a full member state of the OECD (certificate of deposit). This certificate of deposit must be received by the company no later than on September 6, 2012 in text form (please send by mail to: Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG, Dept.

In the case of bearer shares which have not been deposited in a securities deposit account with a depositary institution, a written confirmation provided by the company or by a notary public with a registered office in Austria, for which the abovementioned requirements for the deposit confirmation shall apply mutatis mutandis, shall suffice, in accordance with Section 10a Para. 2 Stock Corporation Act.

Every shareholder entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders has the right to appoint a representative who will attend the meeting on behalf of the shareholder, and who is vested with the same rights as the shareholder whom he/she represents. The proxy authorization or revocation must be conferred on a specific person (natural or legal) in text form, and must be sent to the above-mentioned contact data of Oesterreichische Kontrollbank. It is sufficient to convey this in text form. The shareholders are asked to use the forms available on the Website of the company (www.wolford.com/shareholdermeeting) which can also be sent to them upon request. The shareholders are hereby notified that the appointment of a proxy holder does not preclude fulfilling the pre-requisites for taking part in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, as described in paragraph 1.

The documents which must be made available to shareholders pursuant to Section 108 Para. 3-5 AktG shall be available to shareholders for inspection starting on August 07, 2012 at the company headquarters, Wolfordstrasse 1, A-6901 Bregenz, during normal business hours and on the company Website at www.wolford.com/shareholdersmeeting.

Copies of the resolutions on the agenda proposed to the Executive Board may be requested by shareholders and obtained free of charge from the Executive Board of the company. Questions whose answers require longer preparation should be submitted in writing to the Management Board well before the shareholder meeting in order to avoid that the meeting be unnecessarily prolonged.
