The instructions may be issued together with the power of attorney or at a later 
date. Instructions for exercising voting rights, the right to make motions and 
the right to object can be issued before or during the AGM up to the point in 
time determined by the Chair in each case. Until such time, shareholders have 
the opportunity to amend instructions already given or to issue new 
instructions. 
 
As the proxies cannot be reached by telephone during the AGM in view of the 
potential large number of simultaneous contact attempts, only the email 
communication medium to your proxy's email address specified above should be 
used for communication. In each email, the person of the shareholder (name/ 
company name, date of birth/company register number of the shareholder) must be 
specified, and the conclusion of the declaration must be made identifiable by 
reproducing the name signature or otherwise, e.g. by stating the name/company 
name (Section 13 (2) AktG). In order to enable the proxy to determine the 
identity of, and correspondence with, the custody account confirmation, we would 
ask you in this case to also include your custody account number in the email. 
 
Please note that it may be necessary to interrupt the virtual AGM for a short 
time in order to process in a secure manner the shareholders' instructions to 
the proxies received during the AGM. 
 
 
Zwtl.: VIII. SHAREHOLDERS'S RIGHT TO INFORMATION AND TO SPEAK 
 
 
Each shareholder is to be provided on request with information about the 
Company's affairs at the AGM, insofar as this is necessary for the proper 
assessment of an agenda item. 
 
The right to information and the right to speak may be exercised exclusively by 
electronic mail by sending an email to the email address 
fragen.amag@hauptversammlung.at. Please use the question form, which will be 
available on the Company's website (www.amag-al4u.com) in section "Investor 
Relations" under "Annual General Meeting 2021" from March 23, 2021 at the 
latest, and attach the completed and signed form to the email as an attachment. 
 
If you send your questions or verbal contributions without utilising the 
question form, the person of the shareholder (name/company name, date of birth/ 
company register number of the shareholder) must be stated, and the conclusion 
of the declaration must be made identifiable by reproducing the name signature 
or otherwise, e.g. by stating the name/company name (Section 13 (2) AktG). In 
order to enable the Company to establish the identity of, and correspondence 
with, the custody account confirmation, we would ask you in this case to include 
your custody account number in the email. 
 
If the right to information and/or the right to speak is exercised by an 
authorised representative, proof of authorisation must also be provided in text 
form. Please note that the special proxies cannot be authorised to exercise the 
right to information and/or the right to speak. 
 
Shareholders are requested to submit their questions in text form in advance of 
the AGM by email to fragen.amag@hauptversammlung.at, in good time for them to 
reach the Company by April 9, 2021 at the latest. In this way, you enable the 
Management Board to prepare as accurately as possible, and to answer the 
questions you ask as rapidly as possible. 
 
During the AGM, shareholders also have the opportunity to submit their questions 
and contributions to the AGM electronically to the Company, exclusively in text 
form by email directly to the Company's email address at 
fragen.amag@hauptversammlung.at. Please note that time limits may be set by the 
Chair during the AGM. 
 
Questions received by the Company are read out and answered at the AGM pursuant 
to Section 118 of the AktG. 
 
 
Zwtl.: IX. INFORMATION ON DATA PROTECTION 
 
 
AMAG Austria Metall AG processes its shareholders' personal data (in particular 
those data pursuant to Section 10a (2) AktG, i.e. name, address, date of birth, 
number of the custody account, number of shares held by the shareholder, number 
of the voting card and, if applicable, proxy's name and address) on the basis of 
the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the European General 
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), in 
order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the AGM. 
 
The processing of shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the participation 
of shareholders and their representatives in the virtual AGM pursuant to AktG 
and COVID-19-GesV. As a consequence, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR forms the legal 
basis for processing. 
 
AMAG Austria Metall AG is responsible for such processing. AMAG Austria Metall 
AG makes use of external service companies such as notaries, lawyers, special 
proxies and event service providers for the purpose of organising the virtual 
AGM. AMAG Austria Metall AG only provides such personal data to external service 
companies that are required for the execution of the service that has been 
ordered, and the external service companies process such data exclusively in 
accordance with the instructions of AMAG Austria Metall AG. Where legally 
necessary, AMAG Austria Metall AG has concluded a data protection agreement with 
such service providers. 
 
If shareholders participate in the virtual AGM, their special proxies, the 
members of the Management and Supervisory boards, the notary public and all 
other persons with a statutory right to participate can inspect the legally 
required list of participants (Section 117 AktG), and thereby also view the 
personal data specified therein (including name, place of residence, ownership 
interest). AMAG Austria Metall AG is also legally obligated to submit personal 
shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the 
notarial protocol to the company register (Section 120 AktG). 
 
Shareholders' data are anonymised or deleted as soon as they are no longer 
necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, and 
unless other legal obligations require further archiving. Obligations to provide 
evidence and to retain records arise, in particular, from company, stock 
corporation and takeover legislation, from tax and levy legislation, as well as 
from anti-money-laundering regulations. If legal claims are brought by 
shareholders against AMAG Austria Metall AG, or by AMAG Austria Metall AG 
against shareholders, the archiving of personal data serves to clarify and 
enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with court proceedings before 
civil courts, this can lead to the archiving of data for the duration of the 
statute of limitations plus the duration of the court proceedings up to its 
legally binding termination. 
 
For the purpose of providing administrative support to the Supervisory and 
Management boards, the podium will be broadcast live to the support area, so 
that any questions as well as other administrative issues can be answered as 
rapidly as possible. Such data is neither stored nor recorded. As a consequence, 
the legal basis for processing is Article 12 (2) No. 4 DSG. 
 
All shareholders have the right to information, correction, restriction, 
objection and deletion at any time in relation to the processing of personal 
data, as well as a right to data transmission in accordance with Chapter III 
GDPR. Shareholders may assert such rights in relation to AMAG Austria Metall AG 
free of charge via the following email address: datenschutz@amag.at 
[datenschutz@amag.at]. In addition, shareholders are entitled to appeal to the 
data protection authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR. 
 
Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection 
declaration on the website of AMAG Austria Metall AG at www.amag-al4u.com/en/ 
data-policy.
