Shareholders who collectively hold shares corresponding to 5% of the share capital and who have held these shares for at least three months prior to filing the motion may request in writing that additional items be added to the agenda of this Annual General Meeting and published, provided that such request is received in writing by post or by courier by no later than 8 May 2019 (24:00 hours, CEST, Vienna time) by the Company exclusively at the address UBM Development AG, for the attention of Mag.

The shareholder status must be evidenced by the submission of a deposit confirmation pursuant to Section 10a Stock Corporation Act, in which it is confirmed that the shareholders submitting the motion have been holders of the shares for at least three months prior to the filing of the motion and that this confirmation must not be older than seven days at the time of submission to the Company. With regard to the other requirements relating to the deposit confirmation, reference is made to the explanations on eligibility to participate (item III).

2. Shareholders´ proposals for resolutions on the agenda pursuant to Section 110 Stock Corporation Act
Shareholders who collectively hold shares corresponding to 1% of the share capital may submit proposals for resolutions regarding any item on the agenda including the reasons in this regard in text format and request that such proposals be made available on the Company's website registered with the companies register including the names of the shareholders concerned, the reasons for the same, which have to be included, and any comments of the Management Board or the Supervisory Board, provided such request in text format is received by the Company no later than 20 May 2019 (24:00 hours, CEST, Vienna time) by fax to +43 (0) 50 626-1636 or to UBM Development AG, for the attention of Mag.

In the case of a proposal for the election of a member of the Supervisory Board, the statement of reasons shall be replaced by a statement of the proposed person pursuant to Section 87 (2) Stock Corporation Act.
The shareholder status must be evidenced by the submission of a deposit confirmation pursuant to Section 10a Stock Corporation Act, which must not be older than seven days at the time of submission to the Company. With regard to the other requirements for the deposit confirmation, reference is made to the explanations on eligibility to participate (item III).

3. Information pursuant to Section 110 (2) sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86 (7) and (9) Stock Corporation Act
With regard to agenda item 7 "Election of the new Supervisory Board" and the possible submission of a corresponding nomination by shareholders pursuant to Section 110 Stock Corporation Act, the Company provides the following information:
Section 86 (7) Stock Corporation Act applies to UBM Development AG.
The Supervisory Board of UBM Development AG currently consists of eight members elected by the Annual General Meeting (shareholder representatives) and four members delegated by the works council pursuant to Section 110 Employment Constitution Act. Of the eight shareholder representatives, six are men and two are women; of the four employee representatives, four are men.
It is announced that the majority of the shareholder representatives have raised an objection pursuant to Section 86 (9) Stock Corporation Act and that, therefore, the minimum quota requirement pursuant to Section 86 (7) Stock Corporation Act will not be fulfilled in its entirety but will be fulfilled separately.
Pursuant to Article 9 (1) of the articles of association of UBM Development AG, the Supervisory Board consists of at least three and not more than twelve members elected by the Annual General Meeting and the members delegated in accordance with Section 110 (1) of the Employment Constitution Act.
Should there be no increase in the number of members under agenda item 7 "Election of the new Supervisory Board" under the articles of association, it must be taken into account when shareholders submit an election proposal that, if the election proposals are accepted, at least two women are to be part of the Supervisory Board.

4. Shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 Stock Corporation Act
Upon request, each shareholder shall be provided with information at the Annual General Meeting on matters relating to the Company to the extent that such information is necessary for the proper assessment of an item on the agenda. The duty to provide information also extends to the Company's legal relationships with an affiliated company as well as to the situation of the group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.
The information may be refused if, according to a reasonable entrepreneurial assessment, it is likely to cause considerable disadvantage to the Company or an affiliated company or if its disclosure would be punishable by law.
Pursuant to Article 18 (2) of the articles of association, the chairman of the Annual General Meeting may reasonably limit the time allowed for shareholders to ask questions and speak. He may, in particular at the beginning, but also during the Annual General Meeting, impose general and individual restrictions on the time allowed for speaking and asking questions.
Requests for information must generally be made orally at the Annual General Meeting, but may also be made in writing.
For the sake of efficiency, questions that require lengthy preparation to be answered shall be submitted to the Management Board in text form in good time prior to the Annual General Meeting. Questions can be sent to the Company by fax to +43 (0) 50 626-1636 or by email to hauptversammlung@ubm-development.com.

5. Motions by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Section 119 Stock Corporation Act
Each shareholder - irrespective of a specific shareholding - is entitled to make motions at the Annual General Meeting on any item on the agenda. If there are several motions relating to an item on the agenda, the chairman shall determine the order of voting in accordance with Section 119 (3) Stock Corporation Act.
However, a shareholder proposal on agenda item 7 "Election of the new Supervisory Board" requires the timely submission of a resolution proposal pursuant to Section 110 Stock Corporation Act: Persons for election to the Supervisory Board may be proposed by shareholders whose combined shares amount to 1% of the share capital. Such nominations must be received by the Company no later than 20 May 2019 in the manner specified above. Each nomination must be accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 (2) Stock Corporation Act of the person nominated regarding his/her professional qualifications, professional or comparable functions and any circumstances which could give rise to concerns of bias. Otherwise, the shareholder motion to elect a Supervisory Board member may not be taken into account in the voting.
With regard to the information pursuant to Section 110 (2) sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86 (7) and (9) Stock Corporation Act, reference is also made to item V paragraph 3.

6. Information on the website
Further information on these shareholder rights pursuant to sections 109, 110, 118 and 119 of the Stock Corporation Act is available on the Company's website at www.ubm-development.com.

7. Information on data protection for shareholders
UBM Development AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a (2) Stock Corporation Act, i.e. name, address, date of birth, number of securities deposit account, number of shares of the shareholder, type of share if applicable, number of voting card and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the proxy) on the basis of the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act, in order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights within the scope of the Annual General Meeting.
The processing of shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the participation of shareholders and their proxies at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Article 6 (1) c) GDPR, in particular in connection with the provisions of stock corporation law mentioned below.
UBM Development AG is responsible for the processing. UBM Development AG uses external service providers such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers for the purpose of organising the Annual General Meeting. UBM Development AG will only provide these service providers with personal data that is necessary for the execution of the services they have been commissioned with. Insofar as they act as data processors, they process the data exclusively in accordance with the instructions of UBM Development AG. Where legally necessary, UBM Development AG has concluded a data protection agreement with these service providers.
If a shareholder attends the Annual General Meeting, all shareholders present or their proxies, the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and all other persons with a legal right to attend may inspect the legally prescribed list of participants (Section 117 Stock Corporation Act) and thereby also inspect the personal data mentioned therein (i.a. name, place of residence, shareholding). UBM Development AG is also legally obliged to submit personal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the notarial minutes to the companies' register (Section 120 Stock Corporation Act).
Shareholders' data will be anonymized or deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, and unless other legal obligations require further storage. Obligations to provide evidence and to retain records arise in particular from corporate law, stock corporation law and takeover law, tax law and money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by shareholders against UBM Development AG or vice versa by UBM Development AG against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with court proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to the storage of data for the duration of the statute of limitations plus the duration of the court proceedings up to its legally binding completion.
Every shareholder in accordance with the provisions of data protection law has a right to information, correction, restriction, objection and deletion with regard to the processing of personal data and a right to data transmission in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR. Shareholders can assert these rights against UBM Development AG free of charge via the email address datenschutz@ubm-development.com or via the following contact details:
UBM Development AG
Phone: +43 50 626-2600
Laaer-Berg-Strasse 43
1100 Vienna

In addition, shareholders have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR; in Austria this is the data protection authority.
Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection declaration on the website of UBM Development AG at www.ubm-development.com.
