text)By mail: c/o HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, Re: Post HV,
Seeböckgasse 41, 1160 Vienna

III. Custody account confirmation pursuant to Section 10a AktG
Deposit certificates are to be issued by the depositary bank based in
a member state of the European Economic Area or in a full member
state of the OECD, and must contain the following information: -
Information on the issuer: name/company and address or code commonly
used in business transactions between banks (SWIFT Code), -
Information on the shareholder: name/company, address, date of birth
for natural persons, register and registration number for legal
persons, - Information on the shares: number of shares held by the
shareholder, - Custody account number, - Date or period of time to
which the custody account confirmation refers to.

The custody account confirmation as proof of the shareholdings must
refer to the above-mentioned record date of April 18, 2011, serving
as the deadline for submission of proof. The custody account
confirmation will be accepted in German or in English. In the case of
bearer shares which are not deposited in a securities deposit
account, written confirmation by an Austrian public notary shall
suffice as proof of shareholding, which must be received by the
Company exclusively at one of the aforementioned addresses. Inasmuch
as only interim certificates have been issued, the entry in the share
register is decisive, and no separate additional proof by the
shareholder is required. Notice of the intention to attend the Annual
General Meeting or submission of a custody account confirmation does
in no way block shareholder actions with regard to their shares.
Shareholders may dispose freely of their shares after having given
notice of their intention to participate in the Annual General
Meeting or having submitted a custody account confirmation.

IV. ABSENTEE VOTING BY MAIL Every shareholder is entitled to take
part in the upcoming Annual General Meeting by voting on the
resolutions contained in the agenda by mail, pursuant to Section 19
of the Articles of Association and Section 127 AktG. Submission of
votes must be done in written form by using the form (ballot) made
available by the Company for this purpose. The documents required for
absentee voting (ballot form, revocation, instruction sheet, return
envelope) will be sent upon request. Please request these materials
from the Investor Relations Department by calling +43 (0) 57767 -
30401 at the following times: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and
Friday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. The texts of the form and the instruction
sheet will also be available for downloading on the Company´s Website
at www.post.at/agm no later than April 7, 2011.

In any case, the shareholder must include the following information
on the ballot form: name (corporate name) and place of residence
(headquarters) of the shareholder and the number of shares. Ballots
are only considered to be valid if signed by the shareholder. The
filled-out ballot form with the original signature of the shareholder
must be received by April 22, 2011 at the latest by the notary public
Rupert Brix at his postal address Seilerstätte 28, 1010 Vienna. Mr.
Brix is serving as the authorised recipient of ballots on behalf of
Austrian Post for purposes of absentee voting by mail. The notary
public Rupert Brix will note on the envelope the precise time in
which the ballot was received and will ensure that the voting
behaviour of the shareholder taking advantage of absentee voting by
letter is neither made known to the Management Board nor to the
Supervisory Board nor to the other shareholders before the voting
takes place at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders should note
that the votes submitted per absentee ballot by mail are to be
considered as invalid if the content of the respective resolution
voted upon by the Annual General Meeting is different than that
stipulated on the absentee ballot form. If necessary, the Company
will make a new form (ballot) available on the Website of the Company
at www.post.at/agm for downloading in cases in which the company
receives admissible motions from shareholders involving additions to
the agenda pursuant to Section 109 AktG no later than April 7, 2011
and/or admissible motions involving resolutions pertaining to items
on the agenda pursuant to Section 10 AktG. by no later than April 18,
2011. Shareholders voting by mail will naturally not be in a position
to react to any events taking place at the Annual General Meeting or
to vote on new resolutions proposed within the context of the Annual
General Meeting. A ballot submitted by mail can be revoked using the
form (revocation) placed on the Website by the company for this
purpose. The revocation is to be considered as legally valid if it is
received by the notary public Rupert Brix by fax at +43 (0) 1 512 46
11 - 28 no later than the end of day on April 27, 2011. A shareholder
who attends the Annual General Meeting personally and who has already
voted on a resolution by mail is only to be permitted to exercise his
voting rights at the Annual General Meeting if he has rescinded his
right to vote by mail in a timely manner, i.e. no later than April
27, 2011 as described above. The failure to revoke the absentee
ballot precludes the shareholder from exercising his shareholder
rights at the Annual General Meeting. In this case, the shareholder
will not have the right to speak or pose question, to make proposals
and in particular will not have the right to exercise his voting
rights or the right of objection. A shareholder whose participation
in voting takes the form of absentee voting by mail is entitled to
use the ballot to declare on a precautionary basis his objection to
the resolution to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. There
are no other ways of raising objections. It is expressly pointed out
that the pre-requisite for being entitled to voting by mail is
limited to shareholders who are in possession of shares on the record
date, and supply proof of such to the Company, i.e. the Company has
received a custody account confirmation (deposit certificate)
pursuant to Section 10a Austrian AktG no later than April 22, 2011 at
one of the aforementioned addresses. Shareholders who want to take
part in the Annual General Meeting by using the opportunity of
absentee voting by mail must ensure the timely issuance and
transmission of a custody account confirmation pursuant to Section
10a AktG as described above - similar to the procedure required of
shareholders who want to personally attend.

V. PARTICIPATION BY PROXY Every shareholder entitled to participate
in the Annual General Meeting has the right to appoint a
representative who will attend the meeting on behalf of the
shareholder, and who is vested with the same rights as the
shareholder whom he/she represents. Proxy must be conferred on a
specific person (natural or legal) in text form. It is also possible
to appoint several proxy holders. The appointment of a proxy holder
must be received by the Company no later than April 27, 2011 at 4:00
p.m., exclusively at one of the following addresses: By fax: +43 (0)
1 8900 500 - 75 By E-mail: anmeldung.post@hauptversammlung.at, in
which case the proxy must be attached to the E-Mail in text form, for

Post HV, Seeböckgasse 41, 1160 Vienna

Only on the day of the Annual General Meeting: Personally - when
registering for the Annual General Meeting at the designated meeting
place. The aforementioned requirements for appointing a proxy holder
shall apply analogously for the revocation of the proxy. A form for
the appointment (or revocation) of a proxy holder will be sent to
shareholders upon request, or can be downloaded from the Company´s
Website at www.post.at/agm. If a shareholder has appointed his/her
depositary bank, the bank only needs to submit notification of its
appointment as the proxy holder in addition to the custody account
confirmation. The stipulations contained in Section 10a Para. 3 AktG
apply analogously to submitting this declaration. It is important to
note that the Company, the members of the Management Board and
Supervisory Board will not exercise proxy voting rights assigned to
them by shareholders exercising their shareholder rights at the
Annual General Meeting.

A special service is available for shareholders. A representative of
the Austrian Shareholder Association IVA, Feldmühlgasse 22/4, 1130
Vienna, will serve as an independent proxy bound to comply with
instructions from the shareholder in exercising the shareholder´s
voting rights. On the part of IVA, Mr. Michael Knap has been named to
represent these shareholders. To authorize Michael Knap to serve as
the proxy, a special proxy form is available for downloading on the
Website of the Company at www.post.at/agm, which must be received by
the Company only at one of the above-mentioned addresses (fax,
E-mail, mail). In addition, it is possible for the shareholder to
directly contact Mr. Michael Knap by phone at +43 1 8763343 - 0, by
fax at +43 1 8763343 - 49 or by E-mail at michael.knap@iva.or.at. The
shareholder is required to precisely instruct Mr. Michael Knap how he
(or a designated authorized sub-representative) is to exercise the
shareholder´s voting rights. Mr. Michael Knap will exercise the
voting rights of the shareholder exclusively on the basis of the
instructions submitted by the shareholder. The proxy is to be
considered invalid if no precise instructions are contained in it.
Please note that the proxy does not accept any instructions to speak
at the Annual General Meeting, to voice objections to any
resolutions, to pose questions or to make proposals at the Annual
General Meeting.

VI. NOTE REFERRING TO THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS
109, 110 and 118 AktG Shareholders whose total shareholding equals 5%
or more of the Company´s share capital may request in writing that
additional items be put on the agenda of the next Annual General
Meeting, and that these be made public, provided that these
shareholders held the shares for at least three months prior to
making the request. In addition, such a request shall only be
considered if it is received by the Company in written form no later
than April 7, 2011 at the address Austrian Post, Attn: Investor
Relations, Postgasse 8, 1010 Vienna. For bearer shares held in a
securities deposit account, custody account confirmation (deposit
certificates) in accordance with Section 10a AktG shall suffice as
proof of shareholder status as the basis for exercising this
shareholder right. This confirmation must confirm that the
shareholder (5% of the share capital) requesting an addition to the
agenda has been a holder of the shares for at least three months
prior to submitting such a request. In addition, the custody account
confirmation must not be more than seven (7) days old at the time it
is submitted to the Company. In respect to any other requirements
related to the custody account confirmation, reference is made to the
detailed information on the right to participate. Shareholders whose
aggregate shareholding equals 1% or more of the Company´s share
capital may propose draft resolutions in writing in respect to each
item on the agenda for the next Annual General Meeting, accompanied
by a statement explaining the reasons for such a proposal, and may
request that these proposals are made available on the Company´s
Website. Shareholder requests of this kind will only be considered if
they are sent in written form and received by the Company no later
than April 18, 2011, either per mail at the address Austrian Post,
Attn: Investor Relations, Postgasse 8, 1010 Vienna, or by fax to +43
(0) 57767-30409. With respect to a proposal for election as a member
of the Supervisory Board (agenda item 7), the declaration of the
proposed candidate is used pursuant to Section 87 Para. 2 AktG
instead of the explanation of the reasons. For bearer shares held in
a securities deposit account, custody account confirmation (deposit
certificates) in accordance with Section 10a AktG shall suffice as
proof of shareholder status as the basis for exercising this
shareholder right, provided that this confirmation is not more than
seven (7) days old at the time it is submitted to the Company. In
respect to any other requirements related to the custody account
confirmation, reference is made to the detailed information on the
right to participate. In the case of bearer shares which are not
deposited in a securities deposit account, written confirmation by an
Austrian public notary shall suffice as proof of shareholding, to
which the requirements stated above shall apply analogously. Inasmuch
as only interim certificates have been issued, the entry in the share
register is decisive, and no separate additional proof by the
shareholder is required. Every shareholder attending the Annual
General Meeting is entitled, upon request, to be provided with
information on matters concerning the Company´s affairs, to the
extent that this information is required to enable the shareholder to
properly evaluate the relevant items on the agenda. Further
