Attendance of shareholders at the General Meeting

Entitlement to attend the General Meeting and to exercise voting rights and all
other shareholders' rights at the General Meeting is conditional on the holding
of shares on the record date, i.e. 24.00 hours - midnight - (CET/CEST Local Time
Vienna), June 24, 2019.
Only shareholders who provide evidence of their shareholdings on the record date
are entitled to attend the General Meeting.

Deposit bearer Shares

Evidence of shareholdings on the relevant date must be furnished by way of a
confirmation issued by the bank where the shareholder has deposited his/her
shares (deposit confirmation) if the bank is domiciled in a member state of the
EEA or OECD. Shareholders who have deposited their shares with a bank which does
not meet these criteria are requested to contact the Company.

The deposit confirmation must be issued in German or English in accordance with
the relevant statutory provisions (Section 10a Stock Corporation Act) and
contain the following information:

1. Details of the issuing bank: Name (company) and address;
2. Shareholder details: Name (company) and address, date of birth in the case
of natural persons, corporate register and register number in the case of
legal persons;
3. Deposit number or other relevant description;
4. Details of the shares: Number of shares and their designation or ISIN;
5. Express declaration that the confirmation relates to the deposit holding as
of 24.00 hours - midnight - (CET/CEST Local Time Vienna), June 24, 2019
(record date).

Deposit confirmations must be received by July 1, 2019, 24.00 hours - midnight -
(CET/CEST Local Time Vienna), by the Company in any of the following ways:

* via mail, courier or in person to:
AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft,
FAO Mrs. Gerda Königstorfer, Fabriksgasse 13, 8700 Leoben-Hinterberg, Austria;
* as an un-editable document (PDF) in electronic form to email:
anmeldung.ats@hauptversammlung.at;
* by fax to +43-1-8900 500 87;
* via SWIFT: GIBAATWGGMS - Message Type MT598; please ensure that ISIN
AT0000969985 is indicated in the wording.

Transmissions of the deposit confirmation to the Company shall also constitute
registration of the shareholder for the attendance of the General Meeting.

Banks are requested to send deposit confirmations where possible collectively
(in list format). The shareholders are not blocked by registering their
attendance at the General Meeting or by sending deposit confirmations; therefore
shareholders may freely dispose of their shares after registration or
transmission of a deposit confirmation.

Representation of shareholders at the General Meeting

Each shareholder who is entitled to attend the General Meeting has the right to
appoint a natural or legal person to represent him/her. The proxy holder attends
the General Meeting on behalf of the shareholder and has the same rights as the
shareholder represented. Each power of attorney must name the proxy holder(s).
Shareholders are not restricted in terms of the number of persons they appoint
to represent them and in their choice of proxy holder, however, the Company
itself, or a member of the Management or Supervisory Boards, may only exercise
the right to vote as a proxy holder if the shareholder has provided express
instructions regarding the individual agenda items.

A shareholder may grant power of attorney to the bank where he/she has deposited
his/her shares subject to the agreement of that bank. In such case, in addition
to the deposit confirmation, it is sufficient for the bank to provide the
Company with a declaration by one of the permitted means (see above) that it has
been granted a power of attorney; the power of attorney itself needs not to be
sent to the Company in such case.

A power of attorney may be revoked by the shareholder. The revocation becomes
effective upon receipt by the Company.

Declarations concerning the granting and revoking of power of attorneys may be
sent to the Company in text form, not later than July 3, 2019, 4.00 pm (CET/CEST
Local Time Vienna), by one of the following means:

* via mail, courier or in person to:
AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft,
FAO Mrs. Gerda Königstorfer, Fabriksgasse 13, 8700 Leoben-Hinterberg, Austria;
* as an un-editable document (PDF) in electronic form to email:
anmeldung.ats@hauptversammlung.at;
* by fax to +43-1-8900 500 87;
* via SWIFT: GIBAATWGGMS - Message Type MT598; please ensure that ISIN
AT0000969985 is indicated in the wording.

On the day of the General Meeting, the transmission is only valid in person
through submission with registration for the General Meeting at the place of
assembly.

As a special service and in line with our principles of Corporate Governance,
the shareholders are provided with the option of having their voting right
exercised in accordance with their instructions by Dr. Michael Knap, an
independent proxy holder of the Interessenverband für Anleger [Association for
Investors] (IVA), Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna, Austria. In the case of
interest, a direct approach is possible under tel.+43-1-8763343-30, fax +43-1-
8763343-39, or emailmichael.knap@iva.or.at. The representative will be present
at the General Meeting and reachable during the General Meeting via the email
address
weisungen.ats@hauptversammlung.at. Please note that such e-mail address only
serves the reachability of Dr. Michael Knap during the General Meeting! AT & S
Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft bears the costs for the
proxy. All other costs have to be borne by the shareholder, especially their own
banking fees for the deposit confirmation or the postal charges.

The shareholder must request a deposit confirmation from the bank where his/her
shares are deposited. Dr. Michael Knap must be granted a written authorization
to act as a proxy holder on this deposit confirmation (or on a separate sheet).
A copy of the deposit confirmation must be sent together with the original of
the written power of attorney by the shareholder to Dr. Michael Knap, c/o IVA,
Feldmühlgasse 22, 1130 Vienna, Austria. As the copy of the deposit confirmation
together with the original power of attorney must be received by the IVA not
later than July 2, 2019, we would request that shareholders bear postal delivery
durations in mind.

The shareholder must provide Dr. Michael Knap with instructions as to how he (or
a sub-proxy authorized by Dr. Michael Knap) should exercise the voting right.
Dr. Michael Knap exercises the voting right solely on the basis of the
instructions given by the shareholder. Without express instructions the power of
attorney is invalid. Should separate votes be taken on each clause of an agenda
item, an instruction provided in connection therewith shall apply to each sub-
item. Please note that Dr. Michael Knap does not accept any requests to make
comments, object to General Meeting resolutions, ask questions or propose
resolutions.

Resolutions to be put on the vote are posted on the Company's website at
www.ats.net (Category Investors > Annual General Meeting) as soon as they come
to the knowledge of the Company.

We recommend that shareholders use the form available on the internet at
www.ats.net (Category Investors > Annual General Meeting) to grant or revoke
authorizations.

Shareholders' rights in connection with the General Meeting

Shareholders whose holdings represent a combined total of at least 5% of the
capital stock since at least three months may require in writing the inclusion
and announcement of additional General Meeting agenda items by June 13, 2019
(date of receipt). A proposal for resolution and justification thereof must be
submitted for each such agenda item.
Shareholders whose holdings represent a combined total of at least 1% of the
capital stock may submit proposals for resolutions in text form for each agenda
item, to be accompanied by a justification, by June 25, 2019, and require the
proposed resolutions to be posted on the Company's website with the names of the
relevant shareholders, the justification and a statement of the Management Board
or the Supervisory Board (if any). For the elections to the Supervisory Board
(agenda item 8) the following must be observed: In case of a proposal for the
election of a member of the Supervisory Board, the statement pursuant to Section
87 (2) Stock Corporation Act of a nominated person replaces the justification.
Regarding the election of members of the Supervisory Board, the General Meeting
shall take into consideration the criteria of Section 87 (2a) Stock Corporation
Act; in particular the professional and personal qualifications of the members
of the Supervisory Board, a balanced composition of expertise of the Supervisory
Board, aspects of diversity and internationality as well as the professional
reliability.

Regarding proposals for the election of Supervisory Board members it is further
declared that the Company falls within the scope and is subject to Section 86
(7) Stock Corporation Act.

In accordance with Section 86 (9) Stock Corporation Act, an objection against
the joint fulfillment of the minimum quota set out in Section 86 (7) Stock
Corporation Act was raised by the majority of the capital representatives more
than six weeks prior to the Annual General Meeting. Therefore, the minimum quota
of 30% has to be fulfilled by the capital and employee representatives in the
Supervisory Board separately.

At present, the Supervisory Board is composed of twelve members (eight capital
representatives and four employee representatives). In case of an unchanged
number of Supervisory Board members, due to the separate fulfilment of the
gender quota in the Supervisory Board of the Company, at least two seats of the
capital representatives are each required to be filled with men and women in
order to fulfill the minimum quota on the side of the capital representatives
set out in Section 86 (7) Stock Corporation Act.

Further information regarding these rights, in particular how to submit motions
to the Company and evidence shareholdings is now available on the internet at
www.ats.net (Category Investors > Annual General Meeting).

Every shareholder has the right to propose motions at the General Meeting with
regard to each agenda item which do not require prior announcement. Prerequisite
therefor is the evidence of the entitlement to attend the General Meeting. For a
shareholder to propose the election of a member to the Supervisory Board, the
submission of a draft resolution in accordance with Section 110 Stock
Corporation Act, to be accompanied by a statement pursuant to Section 87 (2)
Stock Corporation Act (see above) is mandatory.

According to Section 118 Stock Corporation Act every shareholder has the right
to request information regarding Company matters at the General Meeting,
provided that such information is necessary for the proper assessment of an
agenda item. The duty to provide information extends to legal and business
relationships between the Company and Group companies, and to the condition of
the Group and its consolidated subsidiaries. Such information must comply with
the principles of diligent and truthful accountability. Information may be
denied if and to the extent that (i) according to reasonable business judgment,
it could cause significant harm to the Company or a Group company, or (ii) the
provision of information would be unlawful, or (iii) it has been published on
the Company's website, as registered in the Commercial Register, in the form of
question and answer through at least seven days prior to the beginning of the
General Meeting.

Total number of shares and voting rights

According to Section 120 (2) (1) Stock Exchange Act we announce, that the
Company has issued 38,850,000 no-par value bearer shares and every no-par value
share confers one vote. At the time of convocation of the General Meeting, the
Company holds no treasury shares. The total number of voting rights at the date
of the convening of the Annual General Meeting therefore amounts to 38,850,000.

Admission to the General Meeting

To ensure the smooth process of the entrance control, shareholders are kindly
asked to arrive in time before the beginning of the General Meeting. Admission
to obtain ballot forms commences at 9.00 a.m.
Shareholders or their proxies are advised that they must present an official
identification document (driver's license, passport or identity card) to confirm
their identities upon admission to the General Meeting.

The General Meeting is the key governing body of a stock corporation as it is
the forum for the Company's owners - the shareholders. We therefore hope you
will appreciate that we cannot turn a General Meeting into an event for guests,
much as we value such interest, and that attendance as guest is possible only on
personal invitation and after consultation under tel. +43 3842 200-5925.

Information for shareholders on the processing of personal data

AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft (hereinafter AT&S)
processes shareholders' and their representatives' personal data, including but
not limited to the data as stated in Section 10a (2) Stock Corporation Act
(name, address, date of birth, the number of the securities deposit account,
number of shares held by the shareholder, class of shares (if applicable),
number of the voting card, and name and date of birth of the proxy
representative (if applicable)), in accordance with the applicable data
protection laws, in particular the European Union's General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act, to enable the
shareholders to exercise their rights during the course of the General Meeting.

The processing of personal data is mandatory for the organisation of the General
Meeting and for the attendance of shareholders and their representatives at the
General Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act. Legal basis for
the processing is the necessity for compliance with legal obligations (Article 6
(1) c) GDPR) and for the purpose of AT&S' legitimate interest in the
organisation of the General Meeting (Article 6 (1) f) GDPR).

AT&S is the data controller responsible for the processing of the personal data.
For the purpose of organising the General Meeting, AT&S makes use of external
service providers, such as notaries, attorneys, banks and IT service providers.
These service providers receive from AT&S only those personal data that are
necessary to provide the requested services and they process the data solely in
accordance with the instructions of AT&S.

If a shareholder or his or her representative attends the General Meeting, all
attending shareholders and their representatives, the members of the Management
and Supervisory Boards, the notary, and all persons with a legal right to attend
can look into the legally mandated attendance list (Section 117 Stock
Corporation Act) and so see the personal data stated therein (e.g. name, place
of residence, interests held). Moreover, AT&S is legally required to annex
personal shareholder and representative data (including but not limited to the
attendance list) to the notarial record and submit such data to the public
company register (Section 120 Stock Corporation Act).

The data of the shareholders are anonymised and erased as soon as they are no
longer needed for the purpose for which they were collected and processed, and
as long as no other legal obligations require their further storage.
Documentation and retention obligations arise from corporate, stock corporation
and takeover law, from legislation on taxes and duties, and from money
laundering regulations. In the event that legal claims are asserted by
shareholders against AT&S or by AT&S against shareholders, the storage of
personal data serves the purpose of clarifying and asserting such claims in
individual cases. In the context of legal proceedings involving civil lawsuits,
this may result in the storage of data during the period of limitation plus the
duration of the legal proceedings until the latter's legally valid conclusion.

Shareholders are at all times entitled to exercise any of the rights of access,
rectification, restriction, objection and erasure with regard to the processing
of their personal data as well as to exercise their right to data portability in
accordance with chapter III GDPR. Shareholders may assert these rights against
AT&S free of charge by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@ats.net or by postal
mail to the following address:

AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft
Fabriksgasse 13
8700 Leoben-Hinterberg
Austria

Furthermore, shareholders have the right to lodge a complaint with the
supervisory authorities for data protection according to Article 77 GDPR.
