Shareholders whose individual or aggregate shareholding equals at least 1% of the share capital may submit motions in 
text form as defined in Section 13(2) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), including a statement of reasons, 
on each agenda item and request that any such proposals, along with the names of the shareholders submitting the

of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements. The provision of information may be 
refused if - based on a reasonable economic assessment - such information could cause material damage to the Company or 
one of its affiliated companies or if provision of such information would be a criminal offence. 
The exercise of shareholders' right to information requires evidence of the right to participate (item IV. of this 
Notice to Convene) and the granting of a corresponding power of attorney to the special proxy (item V of this Notice to 
Convene).
