   NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PURSUANT TO §§ 109, 110, 118 and 119 OF THE
   AKTG [AUSTRIAN STOCK CORPORATION ACT]

   Shareholders whose shares in aggregate amount to 5% of the share capital
   and who have held these shares for at least three months prior to
   submitting the request may request in writing that additional items be
   placed on the agenda of this Annual General Meeting and announced,
   provided that this request is received by the company no later than May
   13, 2026, at the address Walfischgasse 14, 1010 Vienna, Investor Relations
   Department. Each agenda item requested must be accompanied by a proposal
   for a resolution, together with the reasons for the resolution. As proof
   of shareholder status, it shall be sufficient to submit a deposit
   certificate pursuant to § 10a AktG, which confirms that the shareholders
   submitting the proposal have been holders of the shares for at least three
   months prior to making their request. The deposit certificate must not be
   older than seven days at the time of submission to the company. With
   regard to the other requirements for the deposit certificate, please refer
   to the information on the right to attend.

   Shareholders whose shares in aggregate amount to 1% of the share capital
   may submit proposals for resolutions on any item on the agenda, together
   with their reasons, and request that these proposals together with their
   reasons and any comments by the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board
   be made available on the company's website, provided that the request is
   made in writing and received no later than May 22, 2026 at the latest,
   either by mail to Walfischgasse 14, 1010 Vienna, Investor Relations
   Department, by fax [+43 1 513 44 27-2187] or by email [[email protected]],

   file. In the case of a proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board
   member, a statement of the proposed person pursuant to § 87 (2) AktG shall
   take the place of a statement of reasons. For proof of shareholder status
   in order to exercise this shareholder right, it is sufficient to submit a
   deposit certificate pursuant to § 10a AktG, 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 certificate, please refer to the
   information on the right to attend.

   Every shareholder is entitled to submit motions on any item on the agenda
   at the Annual General Meeting. The prerequisite for this is proof of the
   shareholder's right to participate. A shareholder proposal for the
   election of a Supervisory Board member requires the timely submission of
   an election proposal in text form, pursuant to § 110 AktG, together with a
   declaration pursuant to § 87 para. 2 AktG (see above).

   Questions whose answers are likely to require substantial preparation
   should be submitted to the company in writing and in good time before the
   Annual General Meeting, to ensure that the meeting is run efficiently.

   At the Annual General Meeting, each shareholder will be provided with
   information on the company's affairs upon request, insofar as this is
   necessary to make a proper assessment of an item on the agenda.

   Further information on shareholders' rights under §§ 109, 110, 118 and 119
   AktG is available on the company's website at www.rath-group.com.

   day of the Annual General Meeting, the proxy must be received by the

   The proxy form is available on the company's website at 
   [3]www.rath-group.com.

   If a shareholder has granted proxy to their depository bank, it will
   suffice if the latter submits a declaration to this effect in addition to
   the deposit certificate. § 10a (3) AktG shall apply mutatis mutandis for
   the submission of this declaration.

   The above provisions on authorizing a proxy shall also apply mutatis
   mutandis to their revocation.

    

   Total number of shares and voting rights

   At the time of convening the Annual General Meeting, the company's share
   capital amounts to € 10,905.000 divided into 1,500.000 no-par value bearer
   shares. Each share grants one vote. At the time of convening the Annual
   General Meeting, the company does not hold any treasury shares, either
   directly or indirectly. The total number of shares with participation and
   voting rights at the time of convening the Annual General Meeting is
   therefore 1,500.000 shares.
