the European Economic Area or a full member state of the OECD. The deposit
confirmation must not be more than seven days old when it is presented to the

reasonable entrepreneurial judgment, be used to inflict
considerable damage on the company or an associated company or 2.
providing such information would constitute a criminal act.

participants expected and the safety precautions now customary when
planning your schedule. Admission for collection of voting cards

E. Appointing a representative (§ 106, line 8 AktG)

Pursuant to § 113 AktG, each shareholder eligible to attend the
Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint an individual or a
legal entity as representative. The representative attends the Annual
General Meeting on behalf of the shareholder and has the same rights
as the shareholder being represented. Each power of proxy must name
the representative by name. The shareholder is not subject to any
limits in the number of persons appointed as representatives, nor in
selection thereof, however the company itself or a member of the
Executive or Supervisory Board may only exercise voting rights as a
representative if the shareholder has given explicit instructions
concerning the individual items on the agenda.

The power of proxy must be issued to a specific person. A power of
proxy and any withdrawal thereof must be made as written text.

A shareholder can assign this power of proxy to the custodian bank by
agreement. In this case, the bank only has to submit a statement to
the company together with the deposit confirmation using one of the
means permitted that it has been given power of proxy; in such case,
the power of proxy itself has not to be sent to the company.

Any power of proxy can be withdrawn by the shareholder. This
withdrawal does not take effect until the company has received it.
Statements concerning the granting and withdrawal of proxy powers can
only be conveyed by one of the following means:

- by standard mail or courier service to HV-Veranstaltungsservice
GmbH, Köppel 60, AT-8242 St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, - by facsimile to
+43 (0)1 8900 500-94, - by e-mail to: michael.buchbauer@andritz.com,
with the proxy wording attached as written text, for example PDF,
to the e-mail, - by being submitted personally at the entrance to the
Annual General Meeting, - via SWIFT to GIBAATWGGMS (message type
MT598, stating ISIN AT0000730007 as essential reference) and sent
by the banks pursuant to § 114 (1), sentence 4, AktG.

The power of proxy or withdrawal of power of proxy must arrive by
16:00 hrs CET (Vienna local time) on the day before the Annual
General Meeting (thus March 27, 2017). After this time, the power of
proxy or withdrawal thereof must be submitted personally on the day
of the Annual General Meeting during registration at the meeting
location.

The company has provided forms on its web site (www.andritz.com) for
assigning power of proxy. We recommend using the forms available on
the web site to simplify handling of powers of proxy.

As a special service, shareholders who cannot attend the Annual
General Meeting personally have the opportunity to have their voting
rights exercised at the Annual General Meeting by an independent
voting proxy tied only to the instructions of the respective
shareholder. Shareholders who wish to make use of this free service
are requested to contact Dr. Michael Buchbauer, ANDRITZ AG, tel.: +43
(316) 6902 2979, facsimile: +43 (316) 6902 465, or e-mail:
