receipt pursuant to § 10a of AktG (Companies Act), which shall be

With regard to safe-custody receipts and statements made in
accordance with § 114 Sect. 1 fourth sentence of AktG (the Austrian
Companies Act), Rosenbauer International AG no longer accepts these
via an internationally widespread and specially secured messaging
network run by financial institutions (SWIFT), as other channels of
electronic communication (telefax and e-mail) have been opened up
instead. The reason for this is that although Rosenbauer
International AG offered SWIFT as a possible channel for electronic
communications before each of the last two General Meetings, the
custodian banks made next to no use of this facility.

Bearer shares not kept in safe deposit

In the case of bearer shares that are not kept in safe deposit,
written confirmation from an Austrian notary public, delivered to the
Company solely at one of the addresses above, shall be sufficient.

The following requirements for safe-custody receipts shall apply,
analogously, to the contents of this notarial confirmation (except
for the safe-custody account number).

Safe-custody receipt pursuant to § 10a of AktG (Companies Act)

The safe-custody receipt is to be issued by a custodian bank having
its registered office in a member state of the European Economic Area
or in a full member state of the OECD, and must include the following
information: - information on the issuer: (corporate) name and
address or any code that is customarily used among credit
institutions - information on the shareholder: (corporate) name,
address, date of birth in the case of natural persons, and register
and register number, if applicable, for legal entities - information
on the shares: number of shares held by the shareholder, ISIN
AT0000922554 - safe-custody account number and/or other designation -
date to which the safe-custody receipt refers

The safe-custody receipt furnished as evidence of the shareholding
must refer to the qualifying date of May 15, 2012 specified above.

Safe-custody receipts will be accepted in either English or German.

Shareholders will not be blocked by registering for the General
Meeting and/or by submitting a safe-custody receipt. For this reason,
they may continue to freely dispose of their shares even after
registering and/or submitting a safe-custody receipt.

REPRESENTATION BY PROXY

Each shareholder entitled to attend the General Meeting may appoint a
proxy who will take part in the meeting on behalf of such shareholder
and enjoy the same rights as the shareholder whom he or she
represents.

Such proxy must be given to a specific person (natural person or
legal entity) in writing; several persons may also be so authorized.

The notification (or revocation) of a proxy must be delivered to the
Company by 4 p.m. on May 24, 2012, solely to one of the following

to the safe-custody receipt, that it has been given such proxy. With
regard to the delivery of such authorization, § 10a of AktG
(Companies Act) shall apply 'mutatis mutandis'.
