The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Austrian Airlines Österreichische Luftverkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft held on 2 November 2006 has passed a resolution to implement a simplified capital reduction under sections 182 et seq. of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz). As a result of the resolution, the calculated notional amount per share of EUR 7.27 will be reduced to EUR 3.00 and the nominal share capital will be reduced by EUR 145,180,000, from its previous figure of EUR 247,180,000 to EUR 102,000,000.
In addition to this, a resolution was passed to revoke the authorisation of the Board of Management of 22 May 2006, in accordance with § 169 of the Stock Corporation Act, to increase the share capital by 12 August 2011 by up to EUR 123,590,000 through the issue up to 17 million individual share certificates against a cash deposit.
A resolution was also reached to carry out an ordinary capital increase by issuing a maximum volume of up to 68 million bearer shares with no par value. The capital increase should be implemented this year by way of an "at market bookbuilt offering". One shareholder abstained on all the points of order on which a vote was held. Afterwards he entered an objection which was documented in the minutes.
