to name the declaring person and the end of such declaration has to be indicated 
by facsimile of the signature of the declaring or person or otherwise. The 
proposal but not the justification needs to be drawn up in German language.

  1. Information pursuant to section 110 para 2 AktG 
 
With regard to agenda item 10. "Election of two members to the Supervisory 
Board" and potential election proposals by shareholders pursuant to section 110 
AktG, the Company provides the following information: 
ams AG is subject to section 86 para 7 AktG. 
The Supervisory Board of ams AG currently consists of six members elected by the 
General Meeting (Shareholder Representatives) and three members delegated by the 
Works Council (Employee Representatives) pursuant to section 110 of the Austrian 
Work Organisation Act ("ArbVG"). The Shareholder Representatives currently 
consist of two women and four men. The Employee Representatives currently 
consist of one woman and two men. Therefore, the Company fulfils the minimum 
quota pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG. 
It is communicated that a contradiction in accordance with section 86 para 9 
AktG was neither raised by the majority of the Shareholder Representatives nor 
by the majority of the members of the Works Council, therefore, no separate 
fulfilment, but an overall fulfilment of the minimum proportion requirements 
according to section 86 para 7 AktG is applicable. 
Pursuant to § 8 para 1 of the Articles of Association of ams AG, the Supervisory 
Board consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of six members elected by the 
General Meeting and the members delegated in accordance with section 110 ArbVG. 
In total, the Supervisory Board shall consist of not more than nine members. 
 
Prior to the election of two members to the Supervisory Board (agenda item 10), 
the Articles of Association of the Company shall be amended in order to increase 
the number of Supervisory Board members to up to eight Shareholder 
Representatives and up to four Employee Representatives (agenda item 9). If the 
amendment of the Company's Articles of Association in § 8 para 1, proposed under 
agenda item 9, is adopted by the General Meeting, potential nominations by 
shareholders pursuant to section 110 AktG, the quota pursuant to section 86 para 
7 AktG described above has to be observed and, as a rule, at least three women 
have to be elected as Shareholder Representatives in order to comply with the 
minimum quota set forth in section 86 para 7 AktG.
