Shareholders whose individual or aggregate shareholding equals 5% or more
of the nominal capital and who have been holders of these shares for at
least three months before making their request, may request in text form
that additional items be put on the agenda of the General Meeting and
published. Any such request by shareholders must be received in text form
due to Section 13 para 2 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act by mail or
courier no later than on 6 April 2026 (12:00 a.m., CEST) by the Company
exclusively at the address Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding, Attn.:
Mrs. Bettina Schragl, Am Belvedere 10, 1100 Vienna, or by SWIFT
GIBAATWGGMS (Message Type MT598 or MT599, stating ISIN AT0000785555 in the
text), or by e-mail [4][email protected]. Since 6 April 2026 is a
public holiday (Easter Monday), Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding will
not be able to receive shareholder requests to put additional items on
the agenda by post or courier on this day. In order to exercise this
shareholder right in a timely manner, a shareholder request sent by post
or messenger must therefore be received by Semperit Aktiengesellschaft
Holding on the preceding working day (3 April 2026). If text form within
the meaning of Section 13 para 2 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act is
prescribed for statements, statement must be made in a document or in
another manner suitable for permanent reproduction in writing, the person
making the statement must be named and the conclusion of the statement
must be made recognizable by reproduction of the signature or otherwise.
Each motion for an item to be put on the agenda must be accompanied by a
proposal for a resolution with a statement of reasons. The agenda item and
the proposed resolution, but not its justification, must in any case also
be written in German. Proof of shareholder capacity shall be furnished by
submitting a deposit certificate in accordance with Section 10a of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act confirming that the applicant shareholder
has been the continuous holder of the shares for at least three months
prior to the application and that the deposit certificate must not be
older than seven days at the time it is submitted to the Company. Several
deposit certificates for shares, which only together convey the
shareholding of 5%, must refer to the same time (day, time).
With regard to the other requirements for the deposit certificate, see the
information on the right to participate (Item IV. of this Invitation).
In case of an additional item requested to be put on the agenda, the
supplemented agenda will be announced publicly in electronic form on the
Company website [5]www.semperitgroup.com under the menu items “Investor
Relations” and “Annual General Meeting” and no later than on 8 April 2026
as well as in the same way as the original agenda (in particular in the
electronic announcement and information platform of the Federal Government
(EVI) no later than on 13 April 2026).
2. Proposals for resolutions by shareholders on the agenda in accordance
with Section 110 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act
Shareholders whose individual or aggregate shareholding equals 1% or more
of the nominal capital may submit proposed resolutions in text form with a
statement of reasons within the meaning of Section 13 para 2 of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act concerning any item on the agenda, and
request that these be made available on the Company website registered
with the commercial register, together with the names of the respective
shareholders, a statement of reasons to be submitted together with the
proposal, and any comments of the Management Board or Supervisory Board.
Requests of this kind will only be considered when received by the Company
no later than on 16 April 2026 (12:00 a.m., CEST) by mail to Semperit
Aktiengesellschaft Holding, Attn. Mrs. Bettina Schragl, Am Belvedere 10,
1100 Vienna, or by e-mail [6][email protected], whereby the request
must be attached to the e-mail in text form within the meaning of
Section 13 para 2 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, for example as a
PDF. If text form within the meaning of Section 13 para 2 of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act is prescribed for statements, the statement must be
made in a document or in another manner suitable for permanent
reproduction in writing, the person making the statement must be named and
the conclusion of the statement must be made recognizable by reproduction
of the signature or otherwise. The proposed resolution, but not its
justification, must in any case also be written in German.
In case of a proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member the
statement of the proposed person pursuant to Section 87 para 2 of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act replaces the statement of reasons.
For the purpose of providing proof of shareholder status it is sufficient
if holders of deposited bearer shares submit a deposit certificate
pursuant to Section 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The deposit
certificate used to prove current shareholder status must not be older
than seven days when submitted to the Company. Several deposit
certificates for shares, which only together convey the shareholding of
1%, must refer to the same time (day, time).
With regard to the other requirements for the deposit certificate, see the
information on the right to participate (Item IV. of this Invitation).
3. Statements in accordance with Section 110 para 2 sentence 2 in
connection with Section 86 para 7 and 9 of the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act
Pursuant to Section 86 para 7 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the
Supervisory Board must consist of at least 30% women and at least 30% men.
The number of persons must be rounded up to the nearest whole number,
whereby the number must be rounded up if the calculated minimum proportion
has a decimal place of at least 5. No objection was raised pursuant to
Section 86 para 9 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. With a total of
9 Supervisory Board members, the minimum proportion for women and men is 3
persons each.
4. Shareholders' information rights in accordance with Section 118 of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act
Any shareholder shall be provided with information on the Company’s
affairs upon request at the General Meeting to the extent that such
information is required for proper assessment of an item on the agenda.
This obligation to provide information shall also extend to the legal and
business relationships of the Company with affiliated companies, the state
of affairs of the group, and the companies included in the consolidated
financial statements.
The Company may deny providing information to the extent that according to
sound business judgment it might cause material damage to the Company or
any affiliated company or if providing such information would constitute a
punishable offense.
The requirement for exercising the shareholders' right to information is
the proof of right to attend (item IV. of the invitation).
For the purpose of providing proof of shareholder status in order to
exercise the above mentioned shareholders’ rights it is sufficient if
holders of deposited bearer shares submit a deposit certificate
(Depotbestätigung) within the meaning of Section 10a Austrian Stock
Corporation Act. A deposit certificate used to prove current shareholder
status must not be older than seven days when submitted to the Company.
Questions that require longer preparation to answer should be submitted to
the company in text form in good time before the General Meeting in order
to ensure that the meeting is held efficiently. The questions can be sent
by e-mail to [7][email protected].
5. Possibility to appoint a proxy holder pursuant to Sections 113 et seq
Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Section 106 no. 8 of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act)
Any shareholder entitled to attend the General Meeting shall be entitled
to appoint a natural or legal person as proxy holder. The proxy holder may
attend the General Meeting on behalf of the shareholder and will have the
same rights as the shareholder represented. The Company itself or a member
of the Management Board or Supervisory Board may exercise voting rights as
a proxy holder only insofar as the shareholder has explicitly provided
detailed voting instructions regarding the individual items of the agenda.
The proxy must be granted to a specific person. A proxy in text form shall
be sufficient in any case. If a shareholder has granted power of proxy to
the depositary bank (Section 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act) it
shall be sufficient if in addition to submitting the deposit certificate
the bank makes a statement that it has been granted power of proxy. It is
also possible to grant power of proxy to multiple persons. Forms for
granting power of proxy which may also be used to grant limited power of
proxy are available on the Company website [8]www.semperitgroup.com under
the menu items “Investor Relations” and “Annual General Meeting”.
The proxy must be received no later than on 24 April 2026, 12:00 p.m.

whereby the proxy must be attached to the e-mail in text form, e.g., as
PDF-file, and will be kept by the Company.
On the day of the General Meeting the proxy may only be submitted upon
registration for the General Meeting at the venue of the meeting. The
aforementioned provisions on granting power of proxy apply analogously to
the revocation of power of proxy. Any revocation shall be valid only when
received at one of the aforementioned addresses respectively by the
Company.
As a special, free of charge service, shareholders who are not able or do
not wish to attend the General Meeting in person may have their voting
rights in the General Meeting exercised by Dr. Michael Knap as
representative of the “Interessenverband für Anleger” (IVA, Austrian
Association of Investors), 1130 Vienna, Feldmühlgasse 22. As independent
proxy holder Dr. Michael Knap will exercise the voting rights exclusively
in accordance with and bound by voting instructions given by the
respective shareholders regarding the individual items of the agenda.
Proxies without explicit voting instructions are invalid. Shareholders
intending to grant power of proxy are not obliged to appoint Dr. Michael
Knap as their proxy holder. A special form for granting power of proxy or
revocation of proxy to Dr. Michael Knap may be downloaded at the Company
website [10]www.semperitgroup.com under the menu items “Investor
Relations” and “Annual General Meeting”. The proxy granted to Dr. Michael

IV. Record Date and conditions of attendance of the General
Meeting pursuant to Section 111 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act
(Section 106 no 6 and 7 Austrian Stock Corporation Act)

stating ISIN AT0000785555 in the text)
V. Information to shareholders regarding data processing
1. Which personal data of shareholders is processed and for what
purposes?
Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding processes personal data of
shareholders (in particular those of the deposit certificate pursuant to
Section 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act – these are name,
address, date of birth, number of the securities deposit, number of shares
of the shareholder, type of share if applicable and the granting of a
proxy – number of the voting card and, if applicable, name and date of
birth of the independent proxy or proxies, requests to speak,
declarations, approvals or rejections of agenda items) on the basis of the
applicable data protection regulations, in particular the European General
Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the Austrian Data
Protection Act (“DSG”), in order to enable shareholders to exercise their
rights at the General Meeting.
In this connection the shareholders’ personal data is processed for the
following purposes:
• Organization and holding of General Meetings, including verification
of the right to attend/power of proxy and determination of the voting
ratios
• Preparation of registration, power of proxy and attendance lists
• Participation of shareholders in the General Meeting and exercise of
shareholder rights
• Determination of the voting results and preparation of the minutes of
the General Meeting
• Fulfillment of compliance obligations, including recording, disclosure
and reporting obligations.
The processing of the shareholders’ personal data is mandatory for the
participation of shareholders and their representatives in the General
Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. If you do
not provide your data or do not provide it to the extent required, you
will not be able to participate in the General Meeting. The legal basis
for the processing therefore is the relevant provisions of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act in conjunction with Art 6 para 1 lit c GDPR
(compliance with a legal obligation). For the processing Semperit
Aktiengesellschaft Holding is controller as defined in Art 4 no 7 GDPR.
2. To whom is the shareholders’ personal data transferred?
Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding uses external service providers, such
as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers, for the purpose of
organizing the General Meeting. These service providers receive only such
personal data from Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding as is necessary for
the performance of the commissioned service, and, where they are
processors as defined in Art 4 no 8 GDPR, process the data solely on
instructions of Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding. Semperit
Aktiengesellschaft Holding has concluded data processing agreements with
these processors in accordance with Art 28 GDPR.
If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting, the members of the
Management Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and any other person
with a legal right to attend may view the list of participants stipulated
by statute (Section 117 Austrian Stock Corporation Act) and thereby also
have access to the personal data contained therein (inter alia name,
address, shareholding relationship). Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding
also has the statutory obligation to submit the shareholders’ personal
data (in particular the list of participants) to the commercial register
at the competent commercial register court (Section 120 Austrian
Stock Corporation Act) as part of the notarial protocol.
3. How long is the shareholders’ personal data stored?
Shareholders’ data will be anonymized or deleted as soon as it is no
longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed,
and no other legal obligations require further storage. Obligations to
provide evidence and to retain records arise in particular from corporate,
stock corporation and takeover law, from tax and duties law as well as
from anti-money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by
shareholders against Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding or vice versa by
Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding against shareholders, the storage of
personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In
connection with proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to storage
of data for the duration of the statute of limitations plus the duration
of the court proceedings up to its legally binding conclusion.
4. What rights do shareholders have with regard to their personal data?
Every shareholder has a right to access, rectification, restriction,
objection and deletion at any time with regard to the processing of
his/her personal data as well as the right to data portability (Art 15 to
21 GDPR). Shareholders can assert these rights against Semperit
Aktiengesellschaft Holding free of charge by contacting the e-mail address
[14][email protected] or by mail to: Semperit
Aktiengesellschaft Holding, Attn.: Legal Department, Am Belvedere 10,
1100 Vienna.
If you believe that, despite our obligation to process your data lawfully,
your right to legitimate processing of your data has been violated, please
contact [15][email protected] so that we can remedy the
situation. However, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the
Austrian Data Protection Authority or another competent data protection
authority in the EU, in particular at your place of residence or work.
5. Further information
Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection
declaration on the website of Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding
[16]www.semperitgroup.com.
VI. Total number of shares and voting rights at the date of
convocation (Section 106 no 9 Stock Corporation Act)
At the date of convocation of the General Meeting, the nominal capital of
Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding amounts to EUR 21,358,996.53 and is
divided into 20,573,434 no-par value bearer shares. Each no-par value
share grants one vote at the General Meeting.
The Company does not hold any treasury shares at the time of convening the
General Meeting.
There are no multiple classes of shares.
