Right to information 
 
Pursuant to sec. 118 of the Stock Corporation Act, information regarding the 
affairs of the Company must be provided to each shareholder at the General 
Meeting upon request insofar as the information is necessary for the proper 
assessment of an item on the agenda. 
 
The information must comply with the principles of conscientious and accurate 
accounting. The information request may be refused if, according to reasonable 
business judgment, it is likely to cause a substantial disadvantage to the 
Company or an affiliated company or if its disclosure would be punishable by 
law. A request for information may also be refused if the information was 
continuously available on the Company's website in the form of questions and 
answers for at least seven days prior to the beginning of the General Meeting. 
The reason for the refusal to provide information must be given. 
 
Every shareholder can exercise his/her right to information and to speak during 
the General Meeting through the GM portal and may ask questions by telephone in 
real time during the General Meeting. 
 
A prerequisite for the exercise of the shareholders' right to information is 
proof of the right to participate (section C. of the convening notice). 
 
Each shareholder is also invited to send his/her questions directly to the 
Company before the Extraordinary General Meeting by e-mail to 
fragen.rbi@anmeldestelle.at [fragen.rbi@rbinternational.com]. In order to 
identify shareholders, at the same time as questions are submitted, information 
must be provided with regard to full name, date of birth or commercial register 
number (only for legal entities), the securities account number and the name of 
the credit institution maintaining the securities account, along with a copy of 
the signature (or other means of identification). Shareholders may use the 
question form available on the Company's website, which contains the 
aforementioned information for identification. The Company reserves the right to 
not answer questions that cannot be assigned to a shareholder. 
 
Please note that reasonable time restrictions may be specified by the Chairman 
during the General Meeting. 
 
Right to submit motions 
 
Every shareholder is entitled to submit motions at the General Meeting for each 
item on the agenda (sec. 119 Stock Corporation Act). 
 
The point in time until which it is possible to submit a motion via the GM 
portal will be determined by the Chairman during the virtual Extraordinary 
General Meeting and announced in good time. 
 
Further details on exercising these shareholder rights through the GM portal can 
be found in the Participation Information, which can be accessed on the 
Company's website.
