On the day of the General Meeting exclusively: In person: at the
registration desk for the General Meeting at the place of the General
Meeting

In case a shareholder has granted a proxy to the depositary bank, it
is sufficient that the bank provides, in addition to the deposit
certificate, a statement informing the Company that a proxy was
granted to the bank.

A form for granting a proxy and a form for the revocation of a proxy
will be sent on request and are available on the website of the
Company on www.wolford.com/en/agm. However, the use of this proxy
forms for granting a proxy and revocation of a proxy are not
compulsory. The above-mentioned provisions for granting proxies are
applicable accordingly to the revocation of proxies. Please note that
the Company, the members of the Management Board and the members of
the Supervisory Board will not exercise any proxies granted to them
for the exercise of any shareholders' rights in the General Meeting.
As a special service, the shareholders may grant a proxy to a
representative of Interessensverband für Anleger (the Austrian
Shareholder Association - "IVA"), Feldmühlgasse 22/4, 1130 Wien,
Austria, as an independent voting proxy for the non-discretionary
exercise of voting rights in the General Meeting. It is currently
intended by IVA that Dr. Michael Knap will represent the shareholders
in the General Meeting on behalf of IVA. For granting proxy to Dr.
Michael Knap, a special proxy form is available on the website of the
Company www.wolford.com/ en/agm, which has to be submitted to the
Company exclusively to the addresses (telefax, e-mail, mail) for
submission of proxies mentioned above. Additionally, shareholders
have the possibility to contact Dr. Michael Knap from IVA personally
via telephone +43 (0) 1 8763343 - 30, telefax +43 (0) 1 8763343 - 39
or e-mail michael.knap@iva.or.at. The shareholder must provide Dr.
Michael Knap with instructions as to how he (or a sub-proxy
authorized by Dr. Michael Knap) shall exercise the voting right. Dr.
Michael Knap exercises the voting right exclusively on the basis of
the instructions given by the shareholder. Without explicit
instructions, the proxy granted to Dr Michael Knap shall be invalid.
Please note that Dr. Michael Knap does not accept any instructions to
make statements at the General Meeting, to object to resolutions
passed by the General Meeting, to ask questions or to propose
resolutions. Please note that in case of a grant of proxy, the
provisions to participate in the General Meeting as described above
in "Record date and participation in the General Meeting" have to be
fulfilled. Due to the amendment of the AktG, an anonymous
participation as a undisclosed representative (Legitimationsaktionär)
(shares held by "third party" - Aktien im Fremdbesitz) is no longer
permitted.
