The proposal of the Supervisory Board is based on a corresponding recommendation by the Supervisory Board's Audit Committee.
  2. Item 8: Elections to the Supervisory Board.

The term of office of Mag. Petra Preining as member of the Supervisory Board ends at the end of the Annual General Meeting on 6 June 2024.

Pursuant to Article 5 of the Articles of Association of FREQUENTIS AG the Supervisory Board comprises at least three and at most six members elected by the General Meeting or delegated by the shareholders (shareholder representatives). The Supervisory Board currently comprises nine members (six shareholder representatives and three employee representatives). One member has to be elected at the upcoming General Meeting to keep the number of shareholder representatives at the present level.

FREQUENTIS AG falls within the scope of Section 86 Para 7 Stock Corporation Act and therefore has to fulfil the minimum quota mentioned therein.

Pursuant to Section 86 Para 9 Stock Corporation Act, no objection to the overall fulfilment of the minimum quota requirements of Section 86 Para 7 Stock Corporation Act has been raised no later than six weeks before the election. Therefore, the minimum quota of 30% women and 30% men in the Supervisory Board shall be fulfilled jointly by the shareholder and employee representatives on the Supervisory Board. Due to the overall fulfillment of the minimum quota in the Supervisory Board at least three seats on the Supervisory Board are required to be filled by women and at least three seats on the Supervisory Board are required to be filled by men. Currently, six seats of the Supervisory Board are held by men and three seats of the Supervisory Board are held by women. Due to the expiry of the mandate of one woman, at least one woman must be proposed in the present election proposal, in order to comply with the minimum quota requirements pursuant to Section 86 Para 7 Stock Corporation Act.

The Company's Supervisory Board proposes that Mag. Petra Preining be elected to the Company's Supervisory Board with effect as from the end of this General Meeting for the longest term permitted by Section 87 Para 7 Stock Corporation Act - that is, until the end of the General Meeting that resolves on ratification for the fourth financial year after the election, not including the financial year in which the election is held, in other words, until the end of the General Meeting that resolves on the 2028 financial year.

14. Item 14: Resolutions on the following amendments of the Articles of Association.

  1. Resolution on the amendments of the Articles of Association in Article 6 (Virtual or Hybrid General Meeting).

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board propose to amend the Articles of Association in Article 6 by adding a new Article 6.1.6 as follows:

After Article 6.1.5 a new Article 6.1.6 is added, which reads as follows:

"6.1.6 Virtual or Hybrid General Meeting

  1. The Executive Board is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to stipulate, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Act on the Conduct of Virtual Shareholders' Meetings (Bundesgesetz über die Durchführung virtueller Gesellschafterversammlungen - VirtGesG) and the articles of association of the company, on a case-by-case basis for General Meetings of the company, that the General Meeting shall be held as a virtual or hybrid General Meeting.
  2. The Executive Board shall decide, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, on the form of the conduct, i.e. whether the General Meeting is to be held
    (i) with the physical presence of the participants, (ii) without the physical presence of the participants (virtual General Meeting), either as simple virtual meeting or as moderated virtual meeting, or (iii) as General Meeting at which the individual participants can choose between a physical and a virtual participation (hybrid General Meeting). If the General Meeting is convened by the Supervisory Board, the latter shall be free to decide on the form of the conduct in the aforementioned sense.
  3. In all other respects, the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board, as the convening body, shall be responsible to make all decisions necessary to hold a virtual General Meeting or a hybrid General Meeting.
  4. The holding of a moderated virtual General Meeting is permitted in accordance with the VirtGesG and the provisions of the articles of association. A virtual General Meeting is broadcast optically and acoustically in real time for the participants; a hybrid General Meeting is broadcast optically and acoustically in real time for those participants who have opted for virtual participation. The Executive Board or the Supervisory Board, as the convening body, is authorized to stipulate the public broadcast of the virtual General Meeting or the hybrid General Meeting.
  5. Shareholders have the opportunity to request to speak at any time during a moderated virtual General Meeting by means of electronic communication. This applies equally to a (moderated) hybrid General Meeting with regard to those shareholders who have opted for a virtual participation. If a shareholder is given the floor by the Chairman, he or she must be given the opportunity to

speak via video communication. The Chairman decides on the order in which speeches are made and also on the time up to which speeches may be made and up to which questions may be asked.

  1. For all votes in a moderated virtual General Meeting, the shareholders may exercise their voting rights by way of electronic communication and also raise objections in this way, as the case may be; this applies equally to a (moderated) hybrid General Meeting with regard to those shareholders who have opted for a virtual participation. The company may - subject to technical possibilities - either (i) set up and announce a special e-mail address to which the exercise of voting rights or the objection can be sent to the company, or (ii) offer the use of a special voting software or a respective function on the company's website (General Meeting portal) for the purpose of exercising voting rights or raising objections.
  2. The Executive Board shall have the power to stipulate that shareholders may cast their votes electronically, e.g. by e-mail, up to a date before the General Meeting to be determined. The respective shareholders may revoke their votes up to the time of voting in the virtual or hybrid General Meeting and, if necessary, vote again. In all other respects Section 126 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act shall apply mutatis mutandis.
  3. At a virtual or hybrid General Meeting, the company shall provide the shareholders, at its own expense, with two suitable special proxies who are independent of the company and who may be authorized by the shareholders to propose resolutions, cast votes and, if necessary, raise objections at the virtual or hybrid General Meeting.
  4. The provisions of Article 6.1.6 of these articles of association are limited in time until 31 December 2028."

For information: With the entry into force of the Federal Act on the Conduct of Virtual Shareholders' Meetings (Bundesgesetz über die Durchführung virtueller Gesellschafterversammlungen - VirtGesG), a permanent legal basis for virtual and hybrid General Meetings was established.

This temporary amendment to the Articles of Association at hand is intended to enable the Company to react to practical necessities (such as those that may arise in the course of a pandemic) or circumstances (such as a shareholder need in this regard) accordingly. A hybrid General Meeting, for example, can also contribute to an increase and diversification of attendance at the General Meeting. Of course, the amendment does not exclude the standard practice of holding the General Meeting as an in-person meeting.

The provisions of the Articles of Association on the virtual/hybrid General Meeting are limited to four financial years. At the end of this period, the experience gained up to that point will be evaluated and assessed.

"The company's publications shall be made via the company's website and, insofar as and for as long as is mandatory by law, on the electronic announcement and information platform of the federal government (Elektronische Verlautbarungs- und Informationsplattform des Bundes

  • EVI). Further, the company's publications shall be disseminated via certain electronic information platforms in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, especially ordinances of the financial market supervisory authorities."

For information: According to the amended legal provisions, announcements, publications and notices must now be made via the electronic announcement and information platform of the federal government (EVI) instead of the Wiener Zeitung.
