D. REFERENCE TO THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS PURSUANT TO sections 109, 110, 118
AND 119 OF THE STOCK CORPORATION ACT
Requesting additional agenda items

Shareholders whose shares equal individually or in aggregate 5% of the share
capital of the Company and who prove that they have held these shares for at
least three months prior to submission of the request (as to establishing proof,
see below) may request in writing that items be added to the agenda of this
General Meeting and that an announcement is made in this respect. This request
must be received by the Company, at Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Attn.
Elisabeth Klinger - Group Investor Relations, Am Stadtpark 9, 1030 Vienna,
Austria, in writing (signature required) no later than 23 May 2019. A proposed
resolution and a statement specifying the reasons for the proposal must
accompany each requested agenda item.

Each resolution proposal must (also) be submitted in the German language.

Proof of shareholder status requires the submission of a deposit confirmation
pursuant to sec. 10a of the Stock Corporation Act, confirming that the
shareholders submitting the request (5% of the share capital) have held the
shares continuously for at least three months prior to its submission. This
deposit certificate must not be more than seven days old at the time of its
submission to the Company. Where there are several shareholders holding shares
which only equal the required 5% when taken together, or in the case of more
than one deposit certificate for shares which only equal the required 5% when
taken together, the deposit certificates must refer to the same effective date.
With respect to the other requirements related to deposit certificates,
reference is made to the information under Section C.

Proposals for resolutions

Shareholders whose shares equal individually or in aggregate 1% of the share
capital of the Company may submit to the Company proposals for resolutions in
respect of each agenda item and a statement specifying the reasons for the
proposal and request that these proposals be made available on the Company's
website together with the names of the respective shareholders, the accompanying
statements of reasons for the proposals and any statements issued by the
Management Board and Supervisory Board, provided that this request is made in
text form and received by the Company no later than 3 June 2019 either by fax to
+43 (0)1 8900 500 83, by e-mail to anmeldung.rbi@hauptversammlung.at, with the
request attached to the e-mail as a scanned attachment (e.g. pdf), or by mail or
courier service to Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Attn. Elisabeth Klinger -
Group Investor Relations, Am Stadtpark 9, 1030 Vienna, Austria.

A proposed resolution that has been published on the Company's website pursuant
to sec. 110 of the Stock Corporation Act may only be voted on if it is repeated
as a motion at the General Meeting.

Each resolution proposal must (also) be submitted in a German language version.

In the case of a proposal for election of one person to the Supervisory Board
(item 6 on the agenda) the reasons to be attached are replaced by the statement
of the Supervisory Board nominee pursuant to sec. 87 para. 2 of the Stock
Corporation Act. In this statement, the nominee must set out his/her expert
qualifications, his/her professional or similar experience, and any
circumstances that may give rise to concerns with regard to potential conflicts
of interest, and declare to be committed to legal values. Such proposals must
reach the Company in text form by 3 June 2019 at the latest and be made
available by the Company on the Company's website by 5 June 2019 at the latest,
failing which the person concerned may not be included in the vote.

With respect to agenda item 6 "Election of one person to the Supervisory Board"
and a potential election proposal by shareholders pursuant to sec. 110 of the
Stock Corporation Act, the following information is provided by the Company
pursuant to sec. 110 para. 2 sub-para. 2 of the Stock Corporation Act:

The Supervisory Board of Raiffeisen Bank International AG currently consists of
twelve members elected by the General Meeting (shareholder representatives) and
six members delegated by the staff council pursuant to sec. 110 of the Austrian
Labor Constitution Act (Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz). Nine of the twelve
shareholder representatives are men and three are women. Four of the six
employee representatives are men and two are women. The Supervisory Board
therefore currently consists of thirteen men and five women and fulfills the
minimum quota of female representatives pursuant to sec. 86 para. 7 of the Stock
Corporation Act.

It is reported that no objection pursuant to sec. 86 para. 9 of the Stock
Corporation Act has been raised either by the majority of the shareholders'
representatives or by the majority of the employees' representatives and that,
as a result, there is no separate fulfilment, but rather joint fulfilment of the
minimum proportion of female representatives pursuant to sec. 86 para. 7 of the
Stock Corporation Act.

If there is no increase in the number of Supervisory Board members within the
scope of the Articles of Association in relation to agenda item 6, "Election of
a person to the Supervisory Board", in the event of a potential nomination by
shareholders, if the nomination is accepted it must be ensured that of the
eighteen Supervisory Board members at least five are women.

When electing Supervisory Board members, the General Meeting shall take into
account the criteria laid down in sec. 87 para. 2a of the Stock Corporation Act,
in particular the professional and personal qualifications of the members, the
professionally balanced composition of the Supervisory Board, aspects of
diversity and internationality as well as professional reliability. Further,
each person proposed must meet the requirements for the professional
suitability, experience, personal reliability and time availability of the
members of the Supervisory Board pursuant to sec. 28a para. 5 of the Banking Act
at all times. Sec. 28a para. 3 of the Banking Act lays down further requirements
for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Submission of a deposit certificate pursuant to sec. 10a of the Stock
Corporation Act which, at the time of its submission to the Company, must not be
more than seven days old, is required as proof of share ownership for the
purposes of exercising these shareholder rights. Where there are several
shareholders holding shares which only equal the required 1% when taken
together, or in case of more than one deposit certificate for shares which only
equal the required 1% when taken together, all deposit certificates must refer
to the same effective date. With respect to the other requirements related to
deposit certificates, reference is made to the information under Section C.

Right to information

Pursuant to sec. 118 of the Stock Corporation Act, information regarding the
affairs of the Company must be provided to each shareholder at the General
Meeting upon request insofar as the information is necessary for the proper
assessment of an item on the agenda.

The information must comply with the principles of conscientious and accurate
accounting. The information request may be refused if, according to reasonable
business judgment, it is likely to cause a substantial disadvantage to the
Company or an affiliated company or if its disclosure would be punishable by
law. A request for information may also be refused if the information was
continuously available on the Company's website (www.rbinternational.com) in the
form of questions and answers for at least seven days prior to the beginning of
the General Meeting. The reason for the refusal to provide information must be
given.

Each shareholder is entitled to make motions at the General Meeting for any item
on the agenda (sec. 119 of the Stock Corporation Act).

In order to ensure the efficient management of the meeting, questions which have
answers that require a longer preparation time may be submitted in good time
before the General Meeting by fax +43 (0)1 8900 500 83, by e-mail to
hauptversammlung@rbinternational.com or by mail to Raiffeisen Bank International
AG, Attn. Elisabeth Klinger - Group Investor Relations, Am Stadtpark 9, 1030
Vienna, Austria.

E. REPRESENTATION BY PROXY
Every shareholder entitled to participate in the General Meeting has the right
to appoint a proxy to act on his/her behalf at the General Meeting and who shall
have the same rights as the shareholder he/she represents.

The proxy must be issued to a specific person (either a natural person or a
legal entity) in text form. More than one person can be authorized. If a
shareholder has granted a proxy to the bank where he/she has deposited his/her
shares, it is sufficient for the bank to provide the Company with a declaration
that it has been granted a proxy, in addition to submitting the deposit
certificate. For the transmission of such declarations sec. 10a para. 3 of the
Stock Corporation Act shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Unless the proxy is submitted personally at the registration desk on the day of
the General Meeting, it must be received by the Company at one of the addresses
listed below no later than 11 June 2019:

by fax: +43 (0)1 8900 500 83,
by e-mail: anmeldung.rbi@hauptversammlung.at
with the scanned proxy attached to the e-mail (e.g. pdf),
by SWIFT: RZBAATWWXXX
Message Type MT598 or MT599; enter "HV RBI" in field 20 and "ISIN AT0000606306"
in field 77E or 79, or
by mail or courier service: Raiffeisen Bank International AG
c/o HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, Köppel 60,
AT- 8242 St. Lorenzen/Wechsel

The IVA (Austrian Shareholder Association), Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna,
Austria, is offering a special service for the shareholders whereby an
independent proxy will exercise voting rights at the General Meeting.
Shareholders who are interested in making use of such a service can contact
Michael Knap directly on +43 (0)664 2138740 (mobile) or by e-mail:
michael.knap@iva.or.at. The proxy document must also be sent to the Company as
described above if an independent shareholder representative from IVA receives
authorization. Any instructions must be given to IVA directly.

The general proxy form and a form for revoking a proxy will be sent to you upon
request, and they are also available on the Company's website at
www.rbinternational.com (Investors/Events/Annual General Meeting 2019).

Shareholders may exercise voting rights at the General Meeting in person also
after granting proxy. Personal attendance at the General Meeting will be
considered as a revocation of any previously granted proxy.

The aforementioned provisions for issuing a proxy shall apply mutatis mutandis
to the revocation of proxies.
