Every such requested agenda item must be accompanied by a draft

In order to prove the shareholding in case of deposited bearer
shares, it is sufficient to submit a deposit certificate pursuant to
Section 10a Austrian Stock Corporation Act, which certifies that the
applying shareholders have been holders of these shares since at
least three months and which is not older than seven days on the day
of submission to the Company. Several deposit certificates concerning
shares, which together constitute a shareholding of 5%, must refer to
the same date. Regarding all other requirements of the deposit
certificate, please refer to the information regarding the right to
participate.

Shareholders, whose aggregate shares total not less than 1% of the

together with a justification and may request that these draft
resolutions together with the justification and an optional statement
by the Managing Board or the Supervisory Board are published on the
