Each shareholder must - upon request - be informed in the General Meeting on the 
matters concerning the Company, to the extent that such information is necessary 
to appropriately assess an item on the agenda. This information right also 
covers the Company's legal relations to affiliated entities as well as the 
situation of the overall group and the companies consolidated in the group 
financial report. 
The disclosure of information may be refused if, according to reasonable 
entrepreneurial assessment, it is likely to cause serious damage to the Company 
or an affiliated company or if disclosure of such information is punishable 
under applicable law. 
As prerequisite for the exercise of information rights, shareholders have to 
prove their right to participate pursuant to section IV. of the convocation and 
the issue of a respective power of attorney to one of the special voting proxies 
pursuant to section V. of this convocation. 
It is hereby expressly stated that in this virtual General Meeting, the

shareholders themselves during the General Meeting, and can only be exercised by 
sending any questions or speeches via electronic mail to the Company's e-mail

in text form via e-mail to [e-mail], so that the questions 
are received by the Company on the third working day prior to the General 
Meeting, i.e. May 28, 2021, at the latest. 
This is to ensure a smooth and efficient General Meeting, and will allow for a 
proper preparation and swift responses to the raised questions by the Management 
Board in the General Meeting, particularly for questions, which require a longer 
preparation time. 
 
Please use the question form, which will be available on the Company's website 
at www.ams.com/general-meeting. If this question form is not used, any e-mail 
has to indicate the person (name/company name, date of birth/company register 
number of the shareholder). Furthermore, shareholders are asked to please 
include their respective deposit account number in such e-mail, for the Company 
to ascertain the identity and conformity with the deposit certificate. 
 
Please note that the Chairman of the General Meeting may set reasonable time 
limits during the General Meeting. 
Furthermore, please also refer to the Information on Participation, which will

Information for shareholders on data processing 
ams AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to 
section 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act ("AktG"), i.e. name, address, 
date of birth, number of the securities account, number of shares of the 
shareholder, if applicable share class, number of the voting card, and, if 
applicable, name and date of birth of the authorized representative[s]) in 
accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the European 
General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Austrian Data Protection 
Act, in order to enable the shareholders to exercise their rights at the General 
Meeting. 
 
The processing of the personal data of shareholders is a mandatory requirement 
for the attendance and participation of shareholders and their representatives 
at the General Meeting. The legal basis for processing is Article 6 para 1 lit. 
(c) GDPR. 
ams AG is the responsible body for processing. ams AG makes use of several 
external service providers (such as for example public notaries, attorneys, 
banks, IT-providers, etc) for the purposes of holding of the General Meeting. 
These service providers of ams AG will only receive certain personal data from 
ams AG which are necessary for the rendering of the commissioned service and 
will process the data exclusively pursuant to the instructions of ams AG. ams AG 
has concluded respective agreements under data protection laws with these 
service providers to the extent legally required. 
If a shareholder attends the General Meeting, all present shareholders or their 
representatives, the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, 
the notary public and all other persons with a statutory right to attend the 
General Meeting are entitled to inspect the legally required attendance list 
(section 117 AktG) and, therefore, able to see the personal data contained in 
such list (inter alia name, residence, shareholding). Moreover, ams AG is 
required by statutory law to submit personal data of shareholders (in particular 
the list of attendees) as part of the notarial protocol to the company register 
(section 120 AktG). 
The data of shareholders will be anonymized 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 storage. Such statutory 
documentation and retention obligations are particularly resulting from 
commercial law, stock corporation law, takeover law, tax law as well as from 
anti-money laundering laws. If legal claims are asserted by shareholders against 
ams AG or by ams AG against shareholders, the stored personal data serves the 
purpose of clarifying and enforcing such claims in individual cases. In the 
context of legal proceedings involving civil lawsuits, this may lead to storage 
of personal data during the statute of limitations period plus the duration of 
such legal proceedings until their finally binding conclusion. 
 
Each shareholder has a right to information, rectification, limitation, 
opposition and cancellation at any time regarding the processing of personal 
data, as well as a right to data transfer according to Chapter III of the 
General Data Protection Regulation. 
Shareholders can assert these rights free of charge to ams AG via the following 
contact details:

Data Protection Officer 
Tobelbader Strasse 30 
8141 Premstaetten 
E-mail: [e-mail] 
In addition, the shareholders have the right of appeal to the data protection 
supervisory authorities for data protection pursuant to Article 77 GDPR. Further 
information on data protection is accessible on the Company's website 
www.ams.com/privacy-policy.
