INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA 
 
Purpose and legal basis of processing your data 
The Company processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those 
pursuant to Section 10a (2) AktG, i.e. name, address, date of birth, securities 
account number, number of shares of the shareholder, type of share if 
applicable, date or period to which the deposit receipt refers, voting card 
number and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the proxy holder) on the 
basis of applicable data protection regulations, in particular the EU General 
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act [DSG], so 
as to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the Annual General 
Meeting. 
 
The processing of the personal data of shareholders is mandatory for the 
participation of shareholders and their representatives at the Annual General 
Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act, in particular Sections 
111, 113, 114, 117 and 120 AktG. Shareholders' personal data are processed in 
the course of the Annual General Meeting in particular for the following 
purposes: Organising the Annual General Meeting, participation of shareholders 
and their representatives in the Annual General Meeting, exercising of 
shareholder rights at the Annual General Meeting, recording voting activity, 
creating a registration list, list of attendance and a list of proxies, 
preparing the minutes of the Annual General Meeting, and fulfilling compliance 
obligations, including recording, disclosure and reporting obligations. Article 
6 (1) (c) GDPR and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR therefore constitute the legal basis 
for said processing. 
 
VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe, Schottenring 30, 1010 
Vienna, is the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data. 
For the purpose of conducting the Annual General Meeting, the Company uses 
external service providers, in particular vote counting service, public 
notaries, legal advisors, special proxy holders and IT service providers. These 
providers only receive from the Company personal data required for the 
performance of the contractually agreed services and process the data 
exclusively in accordance with instructions received from the Company. The 
Company has concluded a data protection agreement with these service providers 
to the extent legally required. 
 
The special proxy holder, the members of the Managing Board and the Supervisory 
Board, the public notary and all other persons entitled to participate in the 
Annual General Meeting by law have the right to view the legally required list 
of participants (Section 117 AktG) and thereby also have access to personal data 
specified therein (i.a. name, place of residence, shareholding). The Company is 
also required by law to submit personal shareholder data (in particular the list 
of participants) to the company register as part of the minutes prepared by the 
public notary (Section 120 (4) AktG). 
 
Retention period of your data 
Shareholders' data will be anonymised and/or deleted as soon as they are no 
longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, 
and as far as no other legal obligation requires further storage. Obligations to 
provide proof and to retain records arise in particular from corporate, stock 
corporation and takeover laws, from tax and duties legislation as well as anti- 
money laundering regulations. Should any legal claims be made by shareholders 
against the Company or vice versa by the Company against the shareholders, the 
storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual 
cases. In connection with civil court proceedings, this may lead to storage of 
data for the duration of the limitation period plus the duration of the court 
proceedings until their legally binding conclusion. The period of limitation is 
governed, in particular, by the provisions contained in the General Civil Code.

to obtain the rectification or completion of your data. You may also demand that 
your unlawfully processed data be deleted. Please note that this right only

clear whether the processing of your personal data has been incorrect or 
incomplete or even unlawful, you may request the restriction of the processing 
of your personal data until final clarification of the matter. Where processing 
requires your consent, you have the right to withdraw your previously granted 
consent at any time without stating any reason in order to prevent the further 
use of your personal data collected and used as per this consent. The withdrawal 
of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing, which has been 
performed with your consent prior to your withdrawal. In the event of a 
revocation, you also have the right to request the erasure of your data. 
 
You may receive a copy of your personal data processed by us in a machine- 
readable format determined by us upon your request. You may also instruct us to 
directly provide these data to a third party selected by you, provided that said 
recipient has the necessary technical means and the data transfer does not 
involve a disproportionate effort or is in violation of any legal or other 
secrecy obligation or confidentiality consideration on our part or on the part 
of a third party.

interests of the controller or a third party, you also have a right of
