A deposit confirmation used to evidence the current shareholder status must not be older than seven days upon presentation to the Company. Where possible, banks are requested to send deposit confirmations collectively (in list form). Shareholders are not blocked by registering their participation in the General Meeting or by sending deposit confirmations. Therefore, shareholders may continue to freely dispose of their shares after registration or transmission of a deposit confirmation. Representation of shareholders at the General Meeting by special proxy holders In accordance with Section 3 para 4 COVID-19-GesV, the right to submit motions for resolutions, to cast votes as well as to raise objections at the virtual General Meeting can only be exercised by one of the following special proxy holders. Any shareholder who is entitled to participate in the virtual General Meeting and has provided evidence of this fact to the Company in accordance with the specifications in this convocation to the General Meeting is entitled to appoint one of the following special proxy holders: * Mr. Ewald Oberhammer, Attorney at Law c/o Oberhammer Rechtsanwälte GmbH 1010 Vienna, Karlsplatz 3/1 oberhammer.omv@hauptversammlung.at * Mr. Florian Beckermann c/o Interessenverband für Anleger, IVA 1130 Vienna, Feldmühlgasse 22 beckermann.omv@hauptversammlung.at * Mr. Christoph Moser, Attorney at Law c/o Schönherr Rechtsanwälte GmbH 1010 Vienna, Schottenring 19 moser.omv@hauptversammlung.at * Mr. Christoph Nauer, Attorney at Law c/o bpv Hügel Rechtsanwälte GmbH 1220 Vienna, ARES-Tower, Donau-City-Strasse 11 nauer.omv@hauptversammlung.at Each shareholder can freely choose between the above-mentioned persons as special proxy holder and grant this person power of attorney. The Company bears the costs of these special proxy holders. All other costs, in particular the shareholder's own bank charges for the deposit confirmation or mailing expenses shall be borne by the shareholder. We recommend that our shareholders always use the special forms for granting or revoking a power of attorney available at www.omv.com > About us > Corporate Governance > General Meeting > Annual General Meeting 2021 from 12 May 2021 at the latest, to grant power of attorney to a special proxy holder or to revoke such power of attorney. The special proxy holders can be reached directly at the contact details given above. If specific instructions are to be given, the direct communication should be made in timely manner. In order to verify their identity, we ask our shareholders to indicate in the respective field in the form for the granting of power of attorney the e-mail address which will also be used for submitting instructions to the special proxy holder (instructions, motions or objections) or for submitting questions and statements to the Company. In addition, the bearer data stated in the deposit confirmation should match the data on the power of attorney (otherwise, the power of attorney may not be deemed valid). In the event another person (other than one of the special proxy holders mentioned above) is granted power of attorney, please note that it must be ensured by an effective chain of authorization (sub-power of attorney) that one of the special proxy holders is authorized to exercise the right to vote, the right to submit motions and the right to raise objections. It is not possible to authorize another person to exercise these rights in the virtual General Meeting. A shareholder may grant power of attorney to the bank where he/she has deposited his/her shares subject to the agreement with that bank. In such case, in addition to the deposit confirmation, it is sufficient for the bank to provide the Company with a declaration by one of the permitted means (see above under transmission of deposit confirmations) that it has been granted a power of attorney; the power of attorney itself does not have to be sent to the Company in this case. If the bank was granted power of attorney by a shareholder, the bank must also use one of the special proxy holders proposed by the Company for the submission of motions for resolutions, the casting of votes and the raising of an objection at the General Meeting. Submission of the power of attorney to the Company Completed and signed forms for the granting and revocation of powers of attorney may only be submitted to the Company in text form, if possible until 1 June 2021, 4:00 p.m. CEST (Vienna local time), by one of the following means: * by mail, courier service or in person: OMV Aktiengesellschaft, c/o HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, 8242 St. Lorenzen/ Wechsel, Köppel 60, Austria; * per e-mail: for Mr. Oberhammer: oberhammer.omv@hauptversammlung.at [oberhammer.omv@hauptversammlung.at] for Mr. Moser: moser.omv@hauptversammlung.at [moser.omv@hauptversammlung.at] for Mr. Beckermann: beckermann.omv@hauptversammlung.at [beckermann.omv@hauptversammlung.at] for Mr. Nauer: nauer.omv@hauptversammlung.at [nauer.omv@hauptversammlung.at] whereby the power of attorney must be attached to the e-mail in text form, for example as PDF or TIF; please submit powers of attorney issued to persons other than the abovementioned special proxy holders, in the form described, to anmeldung.omv@hauptversammlung.at; * per fax: +43 1 8900 500 56; * per SWIFT: GIBAATWGGMS - Message Type MT598 or MT599; please indicate ISIN AT0000743059 in the text. By this way of transmission, the special proxy holder chosen by you has direct access to the power of attorney. A power of attorney may be revoked by the shareholder. The revocation becomes effective upon receipt by the Company. A power of attorney may not be submitted in person at the meeting site. Shareholders' rights pursuant to Sections 109, 110, 118 and 119 Stock Corporation Act Shareholders whose individual or combined holdings represent a total of at least 5 % of the capital stock and who have held these shares for at least three months may require in writing the inclusion and announcement of additional General Meeting agenda items by 12 May 2021 (receipt).
