                                   INVITATION 
                       We hereby invite our shareholders 
 
    to attend the 34th Annual General Meeting of Wolford Aktiengesellschaft 
    to be held on Friday, 18 June 2021 at 10:00 am (CET) at the premises of 
      Wolford Aktiengesellschaft, Wolfordstraße 1, 6900 Bregenz, Austria. 
 
 
Dear Shareholders, 
 
The past year was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which presented all of us 
with numerous challenges. One of these challenges Wolford AG is currently facing 
is how to conduct our Annual General Meeting. 
 
At present, current regulations allow for an annual general meeting to be held 
with personal attendance, as a physical meeting of constitutive bodies. 
 
For this reason, and in light of the continued favourable trends regarding the 
pandemic in Austria, the Management Board has decided that this year's Annual 
General Meeting will be held as an in-person meeting. 
 
Wolford AG will ensure that all of the requirements and recommendations for 
safely conducting an annual general meeting are complied with and implemented. 
The health of our shareholders is Wolford AG's top priority. In order to protect 
those in attendance, the Company has devised guidelines and measures to prevent 
the spread of COVID-19, which are explained below at "Precautions in respect of 
COVID-19" and must be complied with by shareholders. 
 
For their own safety, shareholders are advised to refrain from attending the 
Annual General Meeting and to use the services of the independent proxy, Dr. 
Knap (for proxy appointments, see below at "Proxy representation"). 
 
In light of the current COVID-19 crisis, Wolford AG reserves the right to cancel 
the 34th Annual General Meeting and postpone it to a later date or to convene a 
virtual Annual General Meeting. This applies in particular in the event that the 
general conditions in connection with the spread of COVID-19 change and it would 
not be ensured that we could reliably carry out the meeting, or if it would not 
be feasible to carry it out in accordance with the legal and regulatory 
requirements.

Record date and attendance at the Annual General Meeting pursuant to § 111 AktG 
 
The right to attend the Annual General Meeting and to exercise voting rights and 
other shareholder rights to be exercised at the Annual General Meeting is based 
on the shares held as of midnight CET on Tuesday, 8 June 2021 (record date). 
 
Only persons who are shareholders on the record date and are able to furnish 
evidence thereof to the Company will be entitled to attend the Annual General 
Meeting. 
 
For proof of shareholding on the record date, a deposit certificate pursuant to 
§ 10a AktG (see "Deposit certificate pursuant to § 10a AktG", below) in text 
form will suffice, which must be received by the Company no later than midnight 
CET on Tuesday, 15 June 2021, exclusively at one of the following addresses:

Deposit certificate pursuant to § 10a AktG 
 
The deposit certificate must be issued in text form by the depositary bank 
having its registered office in a Member State of the European Economic Area 
(EEA) or in a full Member State of the OECD, and must contain the following 
information: 
 
 
  1. Particulars of the issuer: name/company and address or a code commonly used 
     in dealing between banks (SWIFT code) 
 
 
 
  1. Particulars of the shareholder: name/company and address, and date of birth 
     for natural persons or, for legal entities, commercial register and 
     (register) number under which the legal entity is registered in its country 
     of origin, if applicable 
 
 
 
  1. Information on the shares: number of shares (ISIN AT0000834007) held by the 
     shareholder 
 
 
 
  1. Depository number or other designation 
 
 
 
  1. The date or period to which the deposit certificate relates 
 
 
The deposit certificate, as evidence of share ownership, must refer to the 
record date of Tuesday, 8 June 2021, midnight CET. 
 
The deposit certificate must be submitted in German or English. 
 
Transmission of the deposit certificate shall be simultaneously deemed to 
constitute registration for the Annual General Meeting. The shares will not be 
blocked upon registration for the Annual General Meeting or upon submission of a 
deposit certificate. Shareholders may thus continue to freely dispose of their 
shares even after registration. In the event of a transfer of shares, only the 
person who held the status of shareholder on the record date will be entitled to 
participate in the meeting. 
 
Shareholder rights that are linked to share ownership during a certain period 
and/or at a certain point in time may only be exercised if proof of shareholder 
status during the relevant period and/or at the relevant point in time is 
furnished by means of a deposit certificate pursuant to § 10a AktG. 
 
 
Representation by proxy pursuant to § 114 AktG 
 
Every shareholder entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting shall have the 
right to appoint a proxy (natural person or legal entity) to attend the Annual 
General Meeting on his or her behalf, who shall have the same rights as the 
shareholder such proxy represents. 
 
The proxy must be granted to a specific natural person or legal entity in text 
form; it is also possible to authorize multiple persons. If the shareholder has 
granted proxy to his or her depositary bank, it is sufficient if the latter, in 
addition to the deposit certificate, submits a declaration that it has been 
granted proxy; in such case, the proxy itself does not have to be transmitted to 
the Company.
