For other requirements pertaining to the deposit confirmation, please refer to the participation authorisation.


Resolution proposals by shareholders regarding items of the agenda (§ 110 AktG)

If there are several motions on one item of the agenda, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board shall determine the order of voting in accordance with § 119 (3) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG).

However, a shareholder proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member requires the timely submission of a resolution proposal pursuant to § 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG): persons for election to the Supervisory Board (item 10 on the agenda) may only be proposed by shareholders whose shares together amount to 1% of the share capital.
