Representation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting by specially designated voting representatives in accordance with Article 3 para. 4 of the "COVID-19-GesV" regulation

Every shareholder entitled to participate in the Virtual Annual General Meeting has the right to appoint a representative to participate in the Virtual Annual General Meeting on his/her behalf pursuant to the "COVID-19-GesV" regulation and to exercise his/her shareholder's rights. The shareholder is not restricted as to the number of persons designated as representatives or to their selection.

In accordance with Article 3 para. 4 of the "COVID-19-GesV" regulation, the rights to propose motions, to vote and to raise objections at the Virtual Annual General Meeting can only be exercised by one of the following specially designated voting representatives.

Every shareholder who is entitled to participate in the Virtual Annual General Meeting and who has demonstrated this entitlement to the Company according to the requirements of the convocation to the Annual General Meeting is entitled to select one of the following specially designated voting representatives:

- Dr. Michael Knap

c/o Interessenverband für Anleger Feldmühlgasse 22 AT-1130 Wien knap.buho@hauptversammlung.at

- Dr. Christoph Nauer LL.M.

Attorney c/o bpv Hügel Rechtsanwälte GmbH Enzersdorferstraße 4 AT-2340 Mödling nauer.buho@hauptversammlung.at

- Mag. Ewald Oberhammer LL.M.

Attorney c/o Oberhammer Rechtsanwälte GmbH Karlsplatz 3/1 AT-1010 Wien oberhammer.buho@hauptversammlung.at

- Mag. Gernot Wilfling

Attorney c/o MÜLLER PARTNER RECHTSANWÄLTE GMBH Rockhgasse 6 AT-1010 Wien wilfling.buho@hauptversammlung.at Every shareholder is free to select to a specially designated voting representative from among the above-named persons and to grant a power of attorney to the selected representative. The costs for this specially designated voting representation will be carried by the Company. All other costs, in particular bank charges for the certificate of deposit or mailing costs, must be carried by the shareholder.

The form provided on the Company's website under www.buho.at/AGM can be used to issue a power of attorney and instructions to one of the specially designated voting representatives. The power of attorney must be sent to and kept on file by the Company.

The specially designated voting representatives can be reached directly under the above contact data and should be contacted on a timely basis if there are specific instructions.

In order to verify their identity, we kindly ask shareholders to enter their e-mail address in the appropriate field on the form used to issue a power of attorney. This form will also be used for submitting instructions to the specially designated voting representative (instructions, proposals for motions or objections) or for questions and comments to the Company. The shareholder data in the certificate of deposit must agree with the data on the power of attorney (otherwise, the power of attorney could be declared invalid).

If a power of attorney is issued to a person other than one of the above-mentioned specially designated voting representatives, an effective chain of authorisations (subsidiary powers of attorney) must ensure that the specially designated voting representative is authorised to exercise the shareholder's voting right, rights to propose motions and to raise objections. The designation of another person to exercise these rights at the Virtual Annual General Meeting is not possible under the "COVID-19-GesV" regulation and is therefore invalid. A shareholder can issue a power of attorney to the credit institution maintaining the custody account - after consultation with the institution. In this case, a statement by the latter attached to the certificate of deposit confirming that it has been granted a power of attorney will be sufficient. This statement should be sent to the Company at one of the above addresses (see the above information under certificates of deposit), and the power of attorney must not be sent to the Company. The credit institution maintaining the custody account must utilise one of the recommended specially designated voting representatives for the proposal of motions, voting and raising objections at the Annual General Meeting.

Completed and signed powers of attorney must be sent to the Company in text form at one of the following addresses for receipt no later than 10 March 2021, 16:00 (CET):

This form of transmission ensures that the shareholder's specially designated voting representative has direct access to the power of attorney.

The shareholder is entitled to cancel a granted power of attorney, whereby the cancellation only takes effect when it is received by the Company.

The personal presentation of a power of attorney at the site of the Annual General Meeting is not permitted.

We kindly ask shareholders to use the forms provided in order to facilitate processing.

The form provided for the power of attorney includes details on issuing a power of attorney, in particular on the text form, on the content of the power of attorney and on the granting of instructions.

The above provisions regarding the granting of a power of attorney also apply analogously to its cancellation.
